Prerequisite MATH C141	In Math C151 students are expected to consistently perform signed number operations correctly; demonstrate proficiency with operations of algebraic fractions; use the rules of exponents and radicals to simplify expressions and solve equations; recognize the difference between functions and non-functions; graph a line and write the equation of a line; recognize and graph at least one quadratic – parabola, circle, ellipse, or hyperbola; solve a linear system of equations by at least two of the following methods: graphing, substitution, addition elimination, Cramer’s rule; solve quadratic equations by at least two of the following methods: factoring, completing the square, quadratic formula, graphing calculator; graph exponential and logarithmic functions; use the properties of exponential and logarithmic functions to solve equations; set up and solve word problems related to the skills above. Students successfully demonstrating these Math C141 skills will be prepared for Math C151.
Prerequisite MATH C142	In Math C151 students are expected to consistently interrelate the multiple definitions of the trigonometric functions and their inverses; determine the appropriate trigonometric ratio or law to apply to solve problems with triangles; use the radian measure effectively in conversions and it applying formulas to solve problems; analyze trigonometric functions and their graphs using the concepts of amplitude, period, phase and vertical shifts and apply these ideas to real problems; recognize and verify or prove trigonometric identities; analyze trigonometric equations to determine what combination of algebra and identities will lead to a solution; apply trigonometry to operations with complex numbers; solve problems and graph equations of conic sections in rectangular and polar coordinate systems in two and three dimensions; identify and solve problems using parametric equations and vectors in the plane and in space. Students successfully demonstrating these Math C142 skills will be prepared for Math C151.
