Learning Outcomes
- Outcome
- Algebraically solve linear, quadratic, rational, radical, exponential, and logarithmic equations and apply solutions to problems from business and economics.
- Outcome
- Demonstrate an understanding of the concept of a function, including its domain and range; find the equations of, sketch graphs for, and perform transformations on, linear, quadratic, exponential and logarithmic functions.
- Outcome
- Formulate and solve real-world application problems including the calculation of future and present values for simple annuities and interest-bearing accounts.
- Outcome
- Graph linear inequalities and use linear programming to maximize or minimize linear objective functions subject to linear constraints.
- Outcome
- Calculate the size of sets using combinations, permutations, the addition principle and the multiplication principle, and illustrate the results in tables or Venn diagrams.
- Outcome
- Calculate the theoretical and empirical probability of an event occurring, including conditional probabilities and expected values.
- Outcome
