This course will focus on topics such as writing, solving and graphing linear equations, inequalities, absolute values, and systems of linear equations, inequalities and absolute values. Students will also work with multiple representations of linear and exponential functions with a review of exponents, including exponential growth and decay. Operations on polynomials will be studied along with factoring and solving, particularly with quadratics. Transformations of quadratic equations and their graphs, and solving for zeros will be emphasized.
