Algebra 1 - Semester 2 is a single-semester course designed to build, develop, and periodically assess your subject-matter knowledge while strengthening your mathematical skills. The major topics of this semester are quadratic and exponential relationships. You’ll learn to perform operations on polynomials and factor them. You will examine quadratic relationships in detail by writing and graphing quadratic equations. You’ll also model real-world situations with quadratic functions and solve quadratic equations using a variety of methods. You will investigate exponential relationships and use exponential models to describe and make predictions about realworld situations. You’ll solve linear-quadratic and linear-exponential functions. At the end of the semester, you’ll compare different function types graphically and algebraically.
