Title: Credit Unit 2 Introduction
Course: SkillsCom MTH 111 14.0 > Section: Credit Unit 2 Module 1

This Credit Unit will focus specifically on linear functions, and you will find that some of it is familiar. We will use the symbolic and graphical forms of linear functions to identify slope, intercepts and other characteristics of linear functions. Applications will be emphasized! You will need to understand the components of a linear function and how they relate to real world applications and identify the correct units of measure for the parts of linear functions. You will fit linear functions to real world data both by hand and with technology and learn to identify when it is appropriate to use linear regression to make predictions. Absolute value functions are a type of linear functions. We will cover how to identify and graph absolute value functions and solve absolute value equations and inequalities.

Course Outcomes:

- Recognize and identify different types of functions (linear, polynomial, radical, inverse, rational, exponential and logarithmic) by making connections between the graphical behavior, numerical patterns and symbolic representations.
- Apply algebra skills to solve equations including linear, polynomial, radical, rational, exponential, and logarithmic expressions, and also linear systems of equations.
- Apply algebra skills to solve inequalities involving absolute value expressions.
- Collaborate to solve college algebra problems.
