Algebra II continues the study of functions that began in Algebra I, utilizing a more sophisticated approach. Students use functions and equations as a means for analyzing and understanding a broad variety of relationships and as a useful tool for expressing generalizations. The course emphasizes the use of equations and functions to represent geometric curves and figures and the connections between algebra and geometry as tools to help solve problems in the other. Functions studied include quadratic and square root, rational, and exponential and logarithmic. Conic sections (non-functions) are also studied. Computers and graphing calculators will be used extensively.
