MT 006 - Basic Algebra Review

Credit Hours: 3 Not for degree credit

MT006 is intended for students who need a formal review of basic algebraic concepts and whose required mathematics course for their degree is MT111, MT112, or MT116. By studying the following topics, students will develop, refine, and strengthen problem solving skills and be able to: perform operations on real numbers and algebraic expressions including polynomials; solve linear equations, inequalities, systems of linear equations, basic square root equations, and quadratic equations (quadratic formula); define and apply the properties of exponents; define and evaluate functions; graph linear equations with emphasis on slope as a rate of change and intercepts. Real world applications will be introduced throughout the course.
Prerequisites: MT 001 or MT 003 or appropriate college equivalent, and/or appropriate mathematics level code.*
F/S (C, N, S)

*Level code is determined by Mathematics Department placement test and/or successful completion of math courses.

This course does not apply toward an associate’s degree.
