Objective
You are able to solve different types of equations and also solve for a variable in a formula.
You know the basic methods for solving a system of equations and are able to use these methods flexibly.
You are familiar with the directional angle and the basic properties of trigonometric functions. You can solve a triangle and understand the prerequisites in the solving process.
You know basic methods for solving a system of equations and are able to use them flexibly.
You know the fundamental properties of vectors and are able to deal with basic vector problems.
