Algebra II
Prerequisite:
- Successful completion of Geometry 10 or Geometry 11
Building on their work with linear and quadratic functions, students will extend their repertoire of functions to include polynomial, rational,
radical, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Students will work closely with the expressions that define the functions, and continue to
expand and hone their abilities to model situations and to solve equations, including solving quadratic equations over the set of complex
numbers and solving exponential equations using the properties of logarithms. Other topics that are included in this course are arithmetic
and geometric sequences, probability, permutations, and combinations.
After successful completion of this course, the students may enroll in Trigonometry, thus essentially completing an Algebra II/Trigonometry
class in two years, as well as other mathematics courses.
