Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Use the four basic mathematical operations to solve problems involving whole numbers, fractional numbers, decimals, percent, powers, roots, signed numbers and the conversion of measurements.
- Solve word problems using basic algebraic operations.
- Solve linear equations and manipulate formulae (literal equations).
- Solve problems by applying basic angle properties and Pythagorean theorem.
- Solve problems involving triangles by using trigonometric ratios and the Sine or Cosine Laws.
- Resolve a vector into rectangular components.
- Find the resultant of the vector components graphically or by application of the Sine or Cosine Laws.
- Convert between radians and degrees to solve problems involving the central angle, radius, arc length, and sectional areas of circles.
- Determine the perimeter, area, and volume of basic geometric shapes.
- Employ graphs in solving linear equations.
- Solve line problems: the slope of a line, equation of a line and the distance between two points.
- Solve problems involving ratios, proportions and variations.
- Solve the system of two linear equations alegebraically, graphically and with determinants.
- Simplify algebraic expressions by performing algebraic operations and factoring.
