    Description
    Graphic, numeric, and analytic approaches to the study of precalculus concepts from college algebra. Application of appropriate technology including but not limited to graphic utilities to model, analyze, and interpret a collection of data or to solve real-world application problems from a wide variety of disciplines. Topics include the real number system; algebraic exponential, and logarithmic functions and their inverses; graphing techniques for polynomial and rational functions; complex numbers; theory of equations; partial fractions; mathematical induction; sequences and series; matrices; and the binomial theorem. Passing both MATH 170 and MATH 175 is equivalent to passing MATH 176. A student will earn a total of 7 units for MATH 170 and MATH 175. A student will only earn 6 units if the pass both MATH 175 and MATH 176. (CSU/UC) (AA/AS-2, CSU-B4, IGETC-2A, Cal-GETC-2)
