Description

Objective:

Numeracy is the ability to understand and use numbers. In this course, you will improve your numeracy and your ability to perform four basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. With these operations, you will use not only whole numbers, but also integers, fractions, decimals, variables, and algebraic expressions. If those terms are not familiar to you, don’t worry! You will get to know them as you go. You will also learn to use data, functions, and graphs to analyze information and solve problems.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Use algebraic operations to solve problems.
  • Analyze the relationship between data, functions, and graphs.
  • Describe the behavior and properties of linear, exponential, logarithmic, polynomial, and trigonometric functions.
  • Use these functions to predict outcomes and solve problems.

General Topics:

  • Functions • Definition and Properties • Graphing Functions • Limits and Continuity • Functions Composition and Transformation • Inverse Functions Exponential and Logarithmic Functions • Graphing Exponential and Logarithmic • Exponential and Logarithmic Equations Conic Sections • Parabolas • Ellipses and Hyperbolas Trigonometric Functions • Definition and Properties • The Unit Circle • Graphing Trigonometric Functions • The Inverse Trigonometric Functions • Trigonometric Identities • The Law of Sines and The Law of Cosines • The Addition Formula • The Double-Angle Formula • Trigonometric Equations
