What is Algebra 2?
Algebra 2 is a class that covers topics such as linear equations, inequalities, graphs, matrices, polynomials, radical expressions, quadratic equations, functions, exponential and logarithmic expressions, sequences and series, probability and trigonometry. It prepares students to take Pre-Calculus and Statistics and helps them develop skills in manipulating and solving various types of equations. Algebra 2 is the same as college algebra and is the advanced level of pre-algebra and Algebra 1.
