MTH111: College Algebra II
Prerequisite(s): MTH110

This course is a continuation of the algebraic operations introduced in Introductory Algebra. Topics include factoring
polynomials, graphing first and second-degree equations, solving linear systems of equations and quadratic equations, and basic operations with functions and logarithms. Upon completion of the course, students should be able to manipulate, simplify algebraic expressions, and solve linear equations, linear systems of equations and quadratic equations.
