CATALOG DESCRIPTION: Prerequisites: Two years of high school algebra and an appropriate assessment test score or Developmental Mathematics 0099, Developmental Mathematics 0093 or Developmental Mathematics 0310. This course includes topics from college algebra (linear equations, quadratic equations, functions and graphs, inequalities), mathematics of finance (simple and compound interest, annuities), linear programming, matrices, systems of linear equations, applications to management, economics, and business. (3 LEC) This course is the prerequisite for MATH 1425. COURSE OBJECTIVES (Student Learning Outcomes):

1. Solve and graph linear equations and inequalities and write the equation of a line when given information about its graph. (EEO #2,5)

2. Determine if a relation is a function, use functional notation and find the domain and range of a function. (EEO #2,5)

3. Solve systems of linear equations by elimination, substitution and the Gauss- Jordan method. (EEO #2, 4, 5)

4. Perform matrix arithmetic and find the inverse of a matrix. (EEO #2,4) 5. Solve and graph systems of inequalities and use graphical methods to find the

optimum values of a linear function subject to certain constraints. (EEO #2, 4, 5) 6. Solve and graph quadratic, exponential and logarithmic functions. (EEO #2, 4, 5) 7. Apply the above objectives to business and economics situations which include

supply and demand, cost, revenue, profit, market equilibrium, break-even analysis, exponential growth and decay, and simple and compound interest and annuities. (CCIC #5, EEO #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7))

Knowledge and skills that are important to your success in other college courses will be introduced and reinforced in Tier I. The Quantitative Reasoning category promotes the application of mathematics to increase your ability to solve “real- world” problems. When you are quantitatively literate, you can use logic and critical thinking in new way. www.dcccd.edu/core

MATH 1324 will include the following Core Curriculum Intellectual Competencies: #5. CRITICAL THINKING – think and analyze at a critical level (CCIC #5) MATH 1324 will include the following Core Area Exemplary Educational Objectives: #1. To apply arithmetic, algebraic, geometric, higher-order thinking, and statistical methods to modeling and solving real-world situations. (EEO #1) #2. To represent and evaluate basic mathematical information verbally, numerically, graphically, and symbolically. (EE0 #2) #3. To expand mathematical reasoning skills and formal logic to develop convincing mathematical arguments. (EE0 #3) #4. To use appropriate technology to enhance mathematical thinking and understanding and to solve mathematical problems and judge the reasonableness of the results. (EE0 #4) #5. To interpret mathematical models such as formulas, graphs, tables and schematics, and draw inferences from them. (EE0 #5) #6. To recognize the limitations of mathematical and statistical models. (EE0 #6) #7. To develop the view that mathematics is an evolving discipline, interrelated with human culture, and understanding its connections to other disciplines. (EE0 #7)
