This course is designed to provide students further insight into advanced algebraic concepts and is therefore an extension of Algebra I.  Algebra 2 develops students’ ability to manipulate and use matrices in various formats to determine data relationships and delve into function families such as polynomial, logarithmic, quadratic, exponential, rational, and trigonometric.  An analysis of each family of functions, as well as real life applications are found at the core of Algebra 2.
