This course is a continuation of MATH 117 focusing on exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and inverse trigonometric functions, their graphs, and their properties. Techniques for solving equalities involving these functions are examined. Trigonometric identities, sum and difference formulas, double and half-angle formulas, the Laws of Sines and Cosines, and polar coordinates are also considered.
Prerequisite: "C-" or better in ACMAT 117 or required score on placement test.
Outcomes: Students will build and improve their skills in algebra and pre-calculus topics in order to be able solve a variety of problems; The content and the strategies students will learn will prepare them to be successful in Calculus and courses beyond; Students will frequently be asked to express their mathematical thinking orally and in writing by working in groups and explaining their work.
