The purpose of this course is to continue the study of algebra and to provide the foundation for applying algebraic skills to other mathematical and scientific fields.
-structure and properties of the complex number system
-arithmetic and geometric sequences and series
- relations, functions and graphs extended to polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions -varied solution strategies for linear equations, inequalities, and systems of equations and inequalities -varied solutions strategies, including the quadratic formula, for quadratic equations -conic sections and their applications
-data analysis, including measures of central tendency and dispersion -probability, permutations, and combinations
After successfully completing this course, the student will:
7. Compare, contrast, and convert within systems of measurement (both standard/nonstandard and metric/customary).
8. Visualize and illustrate ways in which shapes can be combined, subdivided, and changed.
9. Use coordinate geometry to locate objects in two and three dimensions and to describe objects algebraically.
10. Describe, analyze, and generalize a wide variety of patterns, relations, and functions.
11. Use expressions, equations, inequalities, graphs, and formulas to represent and interpret situations.
12. Demonstrate understanding and use the tools of data analysis for managing information.
13. Identify patterns and make predictions from an orderly display of data using concepts of probability and statistics.
