MAT*H 095 - Elementary Algebra Foundations

Institution:

Connecticut State Community College Naugatuck

Subject:

Description:

(formerly MATH-H096) 3 cr. Prerequisite: Grade of "C" or better in MAT*H073 or MAT*H075(Prealgebra) or an appropriate score on a college placement exam. The course begins with a brief review of basic computational skills and operations with signed numbers. Algebraic order of operations and evaluation and simplification of algebraic expressions are followed by techniques for solving first degree equations and inequalities in one unknown. Also included in this course are algebraic methods for solving applications involving one and two unknowns. Basic rules of exponents are presented and scientific notation is discussed. This is followed by the basic polynomial operations and graphing linear equations in two unknowns, finding slopes of lines, x- and y- intercepts, and writing the equations of lines. This will not fulfill a mathematics requirement in any degree program.
