Algebra II and Trigonometry Textbooks: Algebra 2: California Publisher: McDougal Li@ell/Houghton Mifflin (2006 EdiHon) ISBN- 13: 978-0618811816 Course descriphon: Algebra II complements and expands the mathemahcal content and concepts of algebra I and geometry. Students who master algebra II will gain experience with algebraic soluhons of problems in various content areas, including the soluhon of systems of quadrahc equahons, logarithmic and exponenhal funchons, the binomial theorem, and the complex number system. Trigonometry uses the techniques that students have previously learned from the study of algebra and geometry. The trigonometric funchons studied are defined geometrically rather than in terms of algebraic equahons. Facility with these funchons as well as the ability to prove basic idenhhes regarding them is especially important for students intending to study calculus, more advanced mathemahcs, physics and other sciences, and engineering in college. Course Purpose: The Algebra II / Trigonometry course will help students to review and expand their knowledge of Algebra acquired in Algebra I and introduce new concepts that will be needed to prepare for the Calculus courses. It can be viewed as a patchwork of strategies and methods without a clear line of thought. For this reason, there is a large flexibility in the order in which the lessons can be taught.
California Standards: Algebra II 1.0 Students solve equahons and inequalihes involving absolute value. 2.0 Students solve systems of linear equahons and inequalihes (in two or three variables) by subshtuhon, with graphs, or with matrices. 3.0 Students are adept at operahons on polynomials, including long division. 4.0 Students factor polynomials represenhng the difference of squares, perfect square trinomials, and the sum and difference of two cubes. 5.0 Students demonstrate knowledge of how real and complex numbers are related both arithmehcally and graphically. In parhcular, they can plot complex numbers as points in the plane. 6.0 Students add, subtract, mulhply, and divide complex numbers. 7.0 Students add, subtract, mulhply, divide, reduce, and evaluate rahonal expressions with monomial and polynomial denominators and simplify complicated rahonal expressions, including those with negahve exponents in the denominator. 8.0 Students solve and graph quadrahc equahons by factoring, complehng the square, or using the quadrahc formula.
