This course promotes interpretation and communication of relationships and functions
presented in verbal, symbolic, graphical, or numerical form. An understanding of algebraic
concepts and the ability to apply algebraic skills and reasoning to linear, quadratic, cubic,
radical, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions is developed using modeling, algebraic
manipulation, and exploration of data to determine the solution set for equations and
inequalities and their associated systems with and without the use of technology. The course
explores conic sections from the perspective of pattern recognition with focus on graphing and
application to solving nonlinear systems of equations and inequalities. The course develops
basic understanding of matrix operations and the use of matrix concepts to solve linear systems.
