CAP 079 - Algebra II Credits: 5 LEC hours per week: 5 Students will be exposed to the concepts of rational exponents, functions, domain, and range, and focuses on exponential, logarithmic, radical, and rational functions. The course emphasizes simplifying expressions and solving equations. Students completing this course with a 70 percent or better will meet the requirements for High School 21+ to earn one (1) credit of high school math equivalency. Prerequisite: All students who are under 18 years of age must have a signed release form from their school district. Students 16-17 years of age must first be admitted to the college following Alternative Education Program (AEP) eligibility or the Underage Admission Policy, which is available in the High School Programs office. Course Outcomes:
