What You'll Learn
A full semester of college algebra — completed at your own pace, with no deadlines or fixed class times.
Learning Outcomes
What You'll Be Able to Do
✓Perform operations on real numbers, polynomials, and rational expressions, and apply properties of exponents and radicals to simplify algebraic expressions
✓Solve linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, radical, and absolute value equations and inequalities, and model real-world problems using these equation types
✓Solve systems of linear equations in two and three variables using graphical, substitution, and elimination methods, and interpret solutions in context
✓Analyze functions using proper notation — including domain, range, composition, transformations, and inverses — and graph linear, quadratic, absolute value, and piecewise-defined functions
Course Curriculum
Your path through the course
Work through each lesson at your own pace and build your understanding step by step.
✓Graph and interpret polynomial and rational functions, identifying zeros, end behavior, asymptotes, and holes
✓Solve and graph exponential and logarithmic equations, apply properties of logarithms, and model growth, decay, and compound interest scenarios
✓Identify and evaluate arithmetic and geometric sequences and series, including finite sums and, where applicable, infinite geometric series
