Algebra 2 (Advanced Algebra)
Polynomials, functions, and beyond — a deep dive into advanced algebra. Also available as an accelerated Summer Test-Out course.
Function Concepts
Domain, range, evaluating, graphs, rate of changeDetermine domain and range from equations and graphs, evaluate functions, interpret graphs in context, and calculate average rate of change over intervals.
Linear Equations & Inequalities
Solving, graphing, multi-variable, word problemsSolve linear equations and inequalities, graph solution sets, rearrange multi-variable equations, and model real-world scenarios with linear relationships.
Systems of Equations
Two/three variables, matricesSolve systems of 2 and 3 variables using graphing, substitution, elimination, and matrices. Classify systems and apply to real-world optimization problems.
Absolute Value
Equations, inequalities, graphing, transformationsSolve absolute value equations and inequalities, graph absolute value functions, and apply transformations (shifts, stretches, reflections) to the parent function.
Quadratic Functions
Vertex form, standard form, graphing, complex numbersGraph parabolas in vertex and standard form, find the axis of symmetry and vertex, work with complex numbers (i), and solve quadratics with complex solutions.
Polynomials
Operations, factoring, division, remainder theoremAdd, subtract, multiply polynomials. Perform polynomial long division and synthetic division. Apply the remainder and factor theorems. Graph polynomial functions.
Radical Functions
Simplifying, operations, solving, graphingSimplify radical expressions with higher-index roots, perform operations, solve radical equations (checking for extraneous solutions), and graph radical functions.
Rational Functions
Simplifying, operations, asymptotes, graphingSimplify rational expressions, perform operations, identify vertical/horizontal asymptotes and holes, and graph rational functions with transformations.
Exponential Functions
Growth, decay, compound interest, graphingModel exponential growth and decay, calculate compound interest, graph exponential functions, and apply transformations to the parent function.
Logarithmic Functions
Properties, evaluating, equations, change of baseEvaluate logarithms, apply properties (product, quotient, power rules), solve logarithmic equations, use the change of base formula, and graph log functions.
Sequences & Series
Arithmetic, geometric, recursive formulas, sigmaIdentify arithmetic and geometric sequences, write explicit and recursive formulas, find partial sums, and use sigma notation to express and evaluate series.
Trigonometry
Unit circle, trig functions, identities, graphsDefine trig functions using the unit circle, graph sine/cosine/tangent with transformations, verify trig identities, and find inverse trig values.
Probability & Statistics
Permutations, combinations, distributionsCount outcomes using permutations and combinations, understand probability distributions, calculate expected value, and apply the normal distribution.
