MATH 104: College Algebra (XM)

Course Description

The study of the properties of elementary functions, such as polynomial, absolute value, piecewise, radical, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Topics include equations, inequalities, functions, and their graphs. Students will formulate, analyze, solve, and interpret mathematical and real-world problems. The course typically would not be terminal for students, as it is designed for students with majors in business, computer science, math, and natural science. This course is intended to provide the algebra skills required for trigonometry and calculus. Students enrolled in MATH 84 concurrently with MATH 104 will receive a failing grade in MATH 104 if they do not pass MATH 84. Prerequisite: A grade of C or better in MATH 103, or concurrent enrollment in MATH 84, or placement.
