Algebra 2
Standard Course of Study
Algebra 2 continues students’ study of advanced algebraic concepts including functions, polynomials, rational expressions, systems of functions and inequalities, and matrices. Students will be expected to describe and translate among graphic, algebraic, numeric, tabular, and verbal representations of relations and use those representations to solve problems. Emphasis should be placed on practical applications and modeling. Appropriate technology, from manipulatives to calculators and application software, should be used regularly for instruction and assessment. Prerequisites
- Operate with matrices to solve problems.
- Create linear models, for sets of data, to solve problems.
- Use linear functions and inequalities to model and solve problems.
- Use quadratic functions to model problems and solve by factoring and graphing.
- Use systems of linear equations or inequalities to model and solve problems.
- Graph and evaluate exponential functions to solve problems.
Number and Operations Competency Goal 1 The learner will perform operations with complex numbers, matrices, and polynomials. Objectives 1.01 Simplify and perform operations with rational exponents and logarithms (common and natural) to solve problems.
1.02 Define and compute with complex numbers.
1.03 Operate with algebraic expressions (polynomial, rational, complex fractions) to solve problems.
1.04 Operate with matrices to model and solve problems.
1.05 Model and solve problems using direct, inverse, combined and joint variation.
Algebra Competency Goal 2 The learner will use relations and functions to solve problems. Objectives 2.01 Use the composition and inverse of functions to model and solve problems; justify results.
2.02 Use quadratic functions and inequalities to model and solve problems; justify results.
