The course also covers applications including the use of the Pythagorean theorem, understanding the definition of radical expressions, simplifying radical expressions containing numerical and variable radicands, graphing linear equations using slope-intercept concepts, and solving 2x2 systems of linear equations by graphing and elimination. Technology tools are utilized in this course. All students are required to participate in a unified comprehensive final exam to be administered during final exam week and achieve a "C" or better on this exam (or appropriate placement on the placement exam) in order to move on to the next level of math courses.
