Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: a. Solve linear equations and inequalities; formulate problems that results in linear equations and inequalities; graph equations and obtain regression line from a give data set using a TI83 calculator; b. Understand basic properties of functions, - quadratic, exponential and logarithmic and their graphs; able to solve logarithmic and exponential equations; use logarithmic regression to obtain line of best fit to a data using a TI83 calculator; c. Understand the basic concept of limits and continuity of a function and its application; find derivative of various function โ€“ elementary, exponential, logarithmic using power,, sum, product, quotient and chain rule; find the derived function of an implicit function; use differential to find approximations; use the concept of derivative to discuss elasticity, marginal analysis in business and economics; apply concept of derivatives to solve related rates problems; d. Use the concept of derivatives to find critical values of a function; determine where a function is increasing/decreasing; solve optimization problems; find higher derivatives; relative/absolute minimum and maximum of a function; e. Understand integration as the converse operation of derivative (differentiation), difference between indefinite and definite integrals, fundamental theorem of calculus; solve integration problems using substitution; understand the basic concept of differential equation, find its solution, application โ€“ growth and decay problems; approximate integrals numerically f. Use the concept of integration to find area between two curves and some applications in business and economics. VI. EVALUATION CRITERIA Attendance: Attendance is COMPULSORY. Any student that misses no more than 3 lectures throughout the entire course will be awarded 3 bonus points towards their final grade. Attendance will be taken daily. Homework: There will be weekly online homework. All homework will be done through MyMathLab. No late homework will be accepted. The lowest two homework grades will be dropped. Quiz: There will be some extra credit from unannounced quizzes. Test: There will be five chapter tests. The lowest test grade will be dropped. There will be NO make-up exams. If you miss one test, that will be the one dropped. If you miss more than one, any beyond the first will be counted as zero. Make-up exams will be given ONLY in the case of documented absences due to family emergencies, illness or official university functions. Final: Final exam is comprehensive. Grading Policy: Homework: 30% Test: 50% Final: 20% Grading Scale: A= 90 - 100% B= 80 - 89% C= 70 - 79% D= 60 - 69% F= Below 60% Please note: If these evaluation criteria must be revised because of extraordinary circumstances, the instructor will notify the students.
