Students will factor polynomials. Students will grasp meaning of numbers systems through complex numbers. Students will solve problems involving direct and inverse variation. Students will work with functions: composite functions, inverses of functions, piece-wise functions and properties of functions. Course explanation: The prerequisite for this course is the completion of Algebra I with a grade of C- or better. The Algebra II course is typically taken by sophomores and juniors. However, freshmen may enroll if they have successfully completed Algebra I and seniors may also enroll in Algebra II. The Algebra II course will be divided into 10 units. The teacher will explain the individual sections of each unit to the students. Homework will be given on each section. Quizzes will be administered over certain sections to test student understanding and to help students prepare for the unit test. At the end of each unit, the teacher will conduct a review period and, in the class period following the review, will administer a unit test.
