MATH 0871: Math 11 Part 2
Effective date
January 2017
Department
CF - Mathematics
Description
Students are introduced to polynomials and factoring; rational expressions and equations; variation; roots, radical expressions and equations; rational exponents and complex numbers; solving and graphing quadratic equations; and functions. Students use a scientific calculator to evaluate complex expressions with emphasis on using special keys to perform a variety of functions.
Both MATH 0861 and MATH 0871 are required for completion of ABE Advanced level Algebraic Mathematics. The use of a graphing calculator or other technology is optional.
