Course Description		Experience Algebra II as an employee of the Functional Consulting Company. A combination of business trips with the application of learned concepts will ensure your rise from Junior Associate to Senior Staff Member. Algebra II is an advanced Algebra course, required for college entry, which meets all the state, local, and NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) Standards. The emphasis in this Algebra II course is on student success by way of varied learning styles using applications, hands-on activities, group interactions, discoveries, and, of course, technology.

Scope & Sequence		The Algebra II course is built so that students are promoted through a fictional company from Junior Associate to Executive Senior as they acquire Algebra II skills and knowledge. Module 1: Review of Basic Algebra Number types and properties Writing, solving and graphing equations, inequalities and combined inequalities Solving literal equations Joint, inverse and combined variation with applications Functions, relations, and their inverses Graphing linear equations, finding slope, and writing equations from points. Module 2: Operations on Polynomials Polynomial operations Division of polynomials and synthetic division Factoring quadratic polynomials and sums and differences of cubes Solving quadratic equations Module 3: Radical and Quadratic Relations Operations on radicals Solving quadratic equations with the quadratic formula Graphing and discovering the parabola and its properties Completing the square Operations on imaginary numbers Exploring the affect of the discriminant Module 4: Systems of Equations and Inequalities Solving systems of equations algebraically, graphically and with matrices including inverse matrices and Cramer's Rule. Solving systems of three equations with three unknowns Matrix operations Solving and graphing systems of inequalities Module 5: Conic Sections Recognizing a conic section from its equation Graphing conic sections from equations Finding equations of conic sections given data or a graph Finding center, axes, foci, asymptotes and orientation of conic sections from equations or graphs Module 6: Rational Relations Simplifying rational expressions Operations on rational expressions Solving equations with rational expressions Graphing rational expressions Finding horizontal and vertical asymptotes and holes Finding zeros of polynomial functions using the Rational Zeros Theorem, the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra and Descartes' Rule of signs. Analyzing zeros of polynomial functions using the same theorems Comparing odd and even functions, their ranges, domains and bounds Module 7: Exponential and Logarithmic Relations Writing fractions in different forms using positive, negative and fractional exponents Solving and graphing exponential equations Exponential and logarithmic notation Evaluating logarithms Solving logarithmic equations Properties of logarithms Solving exponential equations using logarithms Module 8: Sequences, Series, Probability and Statistics Arithmetic sequences and series Summation notation Geometric sequences and series Fundamental Counting Principle Permutations and combinations Probability, Statistics and presenting data
Course Objectives		Content Objectives: Include but not limited to structure and properties of the complex number system arithmetic and geometric sequences and series relations, functions and graphs extended to polynomials, 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 (in the Honors portion)
Grading Policy		Grades will be based upon the quality of the student submissions, participation in discussions, and the ability to maintain consistent communication with the instructor. The grading scale that is used for this course is as follows: A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 59 or below All forms of academic dishonesty are prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, plagiarism, cheating, furnishing false information, forgery, alteration or misuse of documents or software, and misconduct during a testing situation. Any student cheating on an exam will receive a zero on the exam and may be withdrawn from the class at the instructor's discretion.
Communication / Participation Requirements		Only through continuous communication can students be successful in an online course. Within each course the instructor outlines the weekly minimum work requirements. It is essential that the student and instructor maintain regular contact. Failure to complete assignments on a consistent basis will result in students being removed from the course.
