Transfers ToNot transferableDescriptionIntermediate Algebra and Trigonometry Skills for STEM Majors covers the Algebra and Trigonometry skills and concepts needed for success in Calculus I computations and applications. This course is for students who are interested in STEM majors, but receive lowest STEM placement (students who have a HS GPA<=2.6 OR did not pass HS Trig, Pre-Calc, or Calc with a C or better) Math 140X students are expected to concurrently enroll in Applied Calculus (Math 140) at Los Medanos College. Students will review and learn about function properties, exponent rules, factoring, operations on rational and radical functions, absolute value equations, circle equations, inequalities, linear functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, quadratic and polynomial functions, composite functions, inverse functions, Pythagorean Theorem, basic and advanced right triangle geometry, and basic and advanced trigonometric functions and identities and applications. Students will use graphing technology to verify solutions. Students will develop mathematical problem-solving processes and study skills that promote success in STEM mathematics courses. Successful completion of Math 140 and Math 140X would better prepare students to enroll in Math 210.
