The questions belowwill review the areas of mathematics that are covered in Test C. These areasare:
* slopes and intercepts of straightlines
* parabolas and quadratic equations
* exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions: their graphs and inversefunctions
Youshould try to review these questions (and take Test C) if you have successfullycompleted an Intermediate Algebra course with Trigonometry. Successful completion of TestC will place you into Calculus (Math 140) and Introduction to ComputerProgramming (CS 110). After submitting the review questions youwill receive an analysis of what courses you are eligible to take if this reviewhad been TestC instead of Practice Test C. In addition, a link will be providedto an interactive PreCalculus review which might be helpful for any additionalreview.
Click the Submitbutton at the bottom of the test when you are finished.
