College Algebra and Trigonometry II

MTH182

Continued study of the concepts and applications of MTH180, focusing on conceptual understanding and problem solving using the language, symbols and algorithms of algebra, trigonometry, matrices and determinants. Designed for students needing a comprehensive pre-calculus algebra, trigonometry and introductory matrix background, this course emphasizes inverse, exponential, logarithmic, circular and trigonometric functions, models and their graphs. Graphing technology is integrated throughout the algebraic and trigonometric course content. Additional topics include analytic trigonometry, solution to trigonometric equations, vectors in the plane, trigonometric form of complex numbers, multivariable linear systems, systems of inequalities, matrices and determinants (with emphasis on technology solutions to linear systems) and other selected topics (polar coordinates, conics) as time permits. 3 Credits (3 Lecture - 0 Lab) Prerequisite(s): MTH180.
