Course Core Objectives

Upon successful completion of MAT 1033, students will be able to:


1. Use the laws of exponents to simplify expressions with rational exponents.

2. Demonstrate the use of factoring polynomial expressions, including greatest common factor ,
grouping, trinomials and special formulas.

3. Solve equations and applications using the zero factor property.

4. Solve quadratic equations and equations reducible to quadratic , including those with complex
number solutions .

5. Demonstrate the use of ordinary operations with rational and radical expressions.

6. Solve rational and radical equations and applications.

7. Graph and interpret graphs in the Cartesian coordinate system and develop equations for lines.

8. Identify domain and range of relations; determine whether a relation is a function.

9. Solve and graph linear systems of equations and inequalities.
