Intermediate Level-MATH 070 Intermediate level math offers a review and further study of decimals, fractions, ratios, proportions, percent and the metric system. Perimeter, area and volume are studied from a formula approach. Integers, powers, roots and scientific notation are introduced. Basic algebraic expressions, equations and formulas are also introduced. Sample Questions: 1. Solve the following proportion. 68 = 15􀯫 2. If 1 g = 1000 mg, How many g are in 700 mg? 3. Simplify √16 . 4. Evaluate using the correct order of operations.(i.e. BEDMAS) 40 − 22 􀁵 32 + 5 5. Find the area and the perimeter of the rectangle. 6. Find the average of 6, 8 and 16. 7. Divide.−35 ÷ 7 8. Subtract.−5 − (−4) 9. Write the correct symbol, > (greater than) or < (less than) −70 −75 10. Evaluate the expression x − 5when x = −8 2 11. Solve. 5x − 8 = 12 12. Solve. x + 4 = 2x − 3 Advanced Level-MATH 080/IALG 011 & MATH 011 MATH 080/IALG 011 is an introductory course at the Advanced level. This course refreshes basic numerical skills and prepares students for further studies in algebra. Some topics in this course include graphing linear equations, first-degree equations and inequalities, polynomials, factoring, systems of linear equations, rational expressions and equations, radical expressionsand equations, quadratic equations, and trigonometry. MATH 011 is equivalent to Pre-Calculus 11 and builds upon the skills in MATH 080/IALG 011. This Advanced level course includes a study of polynomials, rational expressions and equations, powers and radicals, related equations, second-degree equations, systems of linear equations, relations, functions and graphing, and trigonometry.
