This course continues the demonstration and examination of various algebra concepts that was begun in MTH 208: College Mathematics I. It assists in building skills for performing more complex mathematical operations and problem solving than in earlier courses. These concepts and skills should serve as a foundation for subsequent quantitative business coursework. Applications to real-world problems are emphasized throughout the course.
Factor polynomials using the Greatest Common Factor.
Factor trinomial expressions of the form x2 + bx +c.
Factor trinomial expressions of the form ax2 + bx +c.
Factor polynomial expressions using special products.
Rational and Radical Expressions

Identify the domain and range of a function.
Perform operations on functions.
Solve quadratic equations.
Apply nonlinear equations to real-world problems.
Nonlinear Functions, Sequences, and Series
Use composite functions.
Use inverse functions.
Use logarithmic functions.
Use arithmetic and geometric sequences and series.
