Credits: 4

An integrated study of the algebra and trigonometry needed to successfully attempt calculus. Algebraic topics include: properties and graphs of polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and other functions (including piecewise-defined functions); solving systems of equations (with applications); and matrices in the context of solving systems of linear equations. Trigonometric topics include: trigonometric graphs; identities, inverse functions; polar coordinates; and right and oblique triangles with applications. (T)
