Description
This course can be used to satisfy the completion of Adult Basic Education (ABE) - Mathematics: Provincial Level-Algebra and Trigonometry, which prepares adult learners with the knowledge and skills in algebra and trigonometry necessary for entry to technical, vocational, and career programs that require Precalculus 12 equivalency as a prerequisite and for future study in higher-level math courses at college/university.
Topics include equations and applied problems; relations, functions, and transformations; linear and quadratic functions and inequalities; polynomial functions; exponential and logarithmic functions and their graphs; trigonometric functions and their inverses, graphs of circular functions, trigonometric identities and equations, solving triangles using sine and cosine laws; systems of equations; sequences and series.
Prerequisite(s): One of the following: an "S" grade in MATH 1150; a minimum "C-" grade in Precalculus 11; a minimum "C-" grade in Foundations of Math 12; or permission of department based on the Mathematics Diagnostics Test (MDT 065). Prerequisites are valid for only three years.
