Students extend their ability to solve problems with additional functions and equations. When presented with a word problem, students determine which function or equation models the problem and use that information to solve the problem. They build on what they learned in Algebra I about linear and quadratic functions and are able to solve more complex problems. Additionally, students learn to solve problems modeled by exponential and logarithmic functions, systems of equations and inequalities, inverse variations, and combinations and permutations. Turning word problems into equations that can be solved is a skill that students develop throughout the course. Prerequisite: successful completion of Algebra I and Geometry, or COMPASS score placement.
