Topics include linear functions, quadratic functions, composing and decomposing functions, inverse functions, logarithmic and exponential functions. The course emphasizes both the manipulation of ...

This four-credit course will concentrate on analyzing and exploring the basic function classes (linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic, radical, and absolute ...

y = x + 3\) is a linear equation and \(y = x^2 + 3x\) is a quadratic equation. If the product of two numbers is zero, then one or both numbers must also be equal to zero. To solve, put each ...

We need to solve a quadratic equation so we must set it equal ... for \(y\), substitute the 2 values for \(x\) into the original linear equation.

we assume a linear approximation (e.g., the straight line drawn through the data points in Figure 5). If we presume the r of the exponential equation is a function of N (the population density ...
