This discipline complements and expands the mathematical content and concepts of Algebra I and Geometry. Students who master Algebra II will gain experience with algebraic solutions of problems in various content areas, including the solution of systems of quadratic equations, logarithmic and exponential functions, the binomial theorem, and the complex number system. Students solve equations and inequalities involving absolute value. Curve Fitting and the TI-85 calculator 3.
Students are adept at operations on polynomials, including long division.
Students factor polynomials representing the difference of squares, perfect square trinomials, and the sum and difference of two cubes. Students demonstrate knowledge of how real and complex numbers are related both arithmetically and graphically. In particular, they can plot complex numbers as points in the plane. Curve Fitting and the TI-85 calculator 6. Students add, subtract, multiply, and divide complex numbers.
