Chapter studies reinforce foundational algebraic methods and expand concepts such as probability, statistics, and transitional graphing. New topics such as sequences, series, counting, and trigonometry are also introduced. Mastery of concepts is developed through detailed examples and ample practice. Also included in the back of the text is a section titled Word Problem Review. These word problems allow for the strengthening of problem-solving skills requiring the practical application of algebraic concepts. Softcover, 634 pages, 1st edition.
This Algebra 2 text is your students' gateway to higher mathematics and sciences and is essential to preparing your student for college. Students will further investigate concepts that were introduced in Algebra 1, such as linear equations, linear inequalities, polynomials, probability, statistics, and more. They will also transition into Pre-calculus as they study exponential and logarithmic functions and matrices and are introduced to trigonometric equations and identities.
Step-by-step instructions guide your students through easy-to-read examples and build a framework for solving practice problems. Complete with daily exercises, detailed examples and diagrams, review exercises, and an index and glossary of terms, students will be equipped with the tools they need to succeed in Algebra 2. The use of a scientific calculator is generally encouraged. Non-consumable textbook. Recommended for grade 10.
