Learning objectives will go here, in time to study for quizzes and final.

Section 1.1: Solving linear equations

  • Solve linear equations with equality.
  • Reduce linear equations with fractions.
  • Convert between interval notation, and inequalities.
  • Solve linear equations with inequalities.
  • Translate a problem from words into equations.

Section 1.2 & 1.3: Lines, Graphs, and Regression

  • Given a formula for a line, in any form, find its slope and intercepts.
  • Given two points on a line, find the equation for the line.
  • Given a point on a line and a slope find the equation for a line.
  • Given the two intercepts, find the equation for the line.
  • Given the y-intercept and the slope, find the equation for the line.
  • Given data (three or for x- and y-values) plot the scatter plot.
  • Know that the regression line is the line of "best fit" to the data; be able to sketch an approximate regression line on a scatter plot.

Section 2.1, 2.5, 2.6: Functions, Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

  • Given a domain and a range (might be {Heads, Tails} or all real numbers), give an example of a function.
  • Give an example of a one-to-one function, and a non-one-to-one function.
  • Give an example of a relation that is not a function because it violates the vertical line test.
  • Apply rules of exponents -- I'll give the rules to you.
  • Apply rules of logarithms -- I'll give the rules to you.
