COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course reviews a more enhanced structure of algebra and the real number system. It applies the basic
properties of algebraic to the study of equations, inequalities, and polynomials. There is extensive graphing
of equations and inequalities as well as some discussion on the properties of exponents and radicals and
their application to quadratic equations.
