Course Outline for Integrated Algebra and Geometry II

Course Description

This course is the second in a two-part sequence covering elementary algebra topics. Students will extend
their basic algebra skills to include simplifying, performing operations with, and solving equations
involving square roots. Systems of equations will be solved graphically and algebraically. The quadratic
formula and graphing a quadratic equation will be introduced. Application problems will include the use
of the Theorem of Pythagoras. After successfully completing this course, students should register for
intermediate algebra. The course is taught using compute-assisted instruction. You must plan to spend
extra time on campus in our open computer labs.
Prerequisite: MATH 064

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

1. Solve a system of linear equations in two variables.

2. Graph a system of linear inequalities in two variables.

3. Solve application problems in two variables including percent mixture.

4. Determine corresponding parts of similar polygons.

5. Combine and simplify expressions involving radicals.

6. Solve radical equations.

7. Solve application problems involving radicals.

8. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem.

9. Apply the quadratic formula to application problems.
