Math 098 Elementary Algebra II
ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA II
COURSE GOALS/OBJECTIVES:
Second in a two course elementary algebra sequence. Students have one quarter to complete the second half of an elementary algebra course. Students entering the course are expected to have recently completed the equivalent of the first half of an elementary algebra course (like Math 97). Math 98 topics include factoring polynomials, rational expressions and equations, roots and radicals, quadratic equations, and applications of elementary algebra. Graphing calculators are required.
PREREQUISITE:
Math 97 (Elementary Algebra I) with a grade of "C" or better or equivalent.
