What parts of Algebra II are essential to learn?
Q. I'm teaching myself Algebra II- I just want to know if there are any parts I should skip, and, also, what parts are key to really know well? I know ideally all things should be learned, but I want to get what I need to know so I can move up to Calculus. I'll also take a class in Algebra II to master what I've taught myself. This way I can move up faster. So what do I need to know, and what can I skip? Thanks.

A. Skim the chapters, if it looks like you know it, then read it but don;t study or do any problems. If you odn't know it, do whatever you do to get it down. Good luck, you seem smart =)

Which is the better math to take after Algebra II?
Q. I am in the 10th grade and taking Algebra II. Which math should I take as a junior and a senior?
Asked by MORG225 - Thu Sep 28 18:19:52 2006 - - 13 Answers - 2 Comments

A. I don't know how different school label their math programs. I just remember math as: Algebra 1,2 Geometry Algebra 3,4 Math Analysis Calculus I don't know what "math analysis" is at other schools. I guess it's like trig. What math did you already complete? Most people are suggesting geometry/trig, so I guess if your Algebra II is the equivalent to my Algebra 3,4, trig and calc would be the answers.

Can I take Pre-Calc Honors with minimal Algebra II knowledge?
Q. If I only know the basics of Algebra II and forget like half of it, can I still do well? Or is Pre-Calc on a whole another level than Algebra II? Will I need to know Geometry for Calc or Pre Calc?
Asked by 3060903Angle - Thu Nov 13 20:22:02 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. From my teaching experience, I know that most pre-Calc courses go through a review of Algebra ll in one to two weeks. Then they switch to trigonometry and Analytic Geometry. In an honors class they will not review algebra at all. That means that you have to be able to, among other things, solve systems of simultaneous equations, solve quadratic equations, and solve word problems before the first day of class. From what you have written this does not seem to be the case. For any pre-Calc course you will need to know: 1) Algebra 1 2) Geometry 3) Graphing techniques For any Calculus course you will have to know: 1) Algebra 2 2) Geometry 3) Trigonometry 4) Graphing techniques

A. Euclid, Pythagoras, al-Khwarizmi, possibly Thales or Archimedes, Descartes if you looked at any coordinate geometry. If you did anything with Matrices then you can also bring in a whole bunch of people from modern times as well.

A. you can go to: www.glencoe.com at the drop down menus choose mathematics, and then your state. then bullet student/parent if it is not already bulleted. Then chose a book that is associated with algebra 1 or 2. You may want to brush up on your Geometry skills too and select a book that is associated with geometry. You can also get a textbook named Geometry by McDougal Littel. Its blue and their pretty good at teaching. Some of the authors are Ron Larson, Laurie Boswell and Lee Stiff? And you can also get the textbook named "Geometry" that is publish by Glencoe-McGraw Hill. The authors are Cindy Boyd, Gail Burrill, Jerry Cummins, Timothy Kanold, and Carol B. Malloy.

Asked by ~Red Rose~ - Tue Mar 11 18:45:36 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Pipe 1 rate = 1/27 of the tank per minute Pipe 2 rate = 1/54 of the tank per minute Pipe 3 rate = 1/36 of the tank per minute The rate for all three pipes to run at the same time = 1/27 + 1/54 - 1/36 = (4 + 2 - 3) / 108 = 3 / 108 = 1/36 of the tank per minute So it will tale 36 minutes for the tank to be filled 8. Worker 1 rate = 1/3 of the job per hour Worker 2 rate = 1/4 of the job per hour The rate for when both workers work together = 1/3 + 1/4 = (4 + 3) / 12 = 7/12 of the job per hour So for the first hour, the fist worker does 1/3 of the job. After that both workers work at the rate of 7/12 of the job per hour to complete the remaining 2/3 of the job. That means: 7/12 * x = 2/3 x = 2/3 * 12/7 x = 8/7 So it will take 8/7 of an… [cont.]

A. F(x)=2X+4 y = 2x + 4 Substitute 0 for y, solve for x 0 = 2x + 4 -4 = 2x -2 = x Thus, y intercept is (-2,0) Now substitute 0 for x, solve for y y = 2(0) + 4 y = 4 Thus, x intercept is (0,4) Mark 2 points, one at (-2,0) other at (0,4) connect the points with a line and you have it graphed. Do the second problem the same way. Substitute 0 for y to get x substitute 0 for x to get y plot both points, connect the lines, will be a linear (straight) line

A. Let the two consecutive integers be x and x + 1 x^2 + (x + 1)^2 = 25 x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1 = 25 2x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0 x^2 + x - 12 = 0 x^2 + 4x - 3x - 12 = 0 x(x + 4) - 3(x + 4) = 0 (x + 4) (x - 3) = 0 So, x = 3 and x + 1 = 4 or if the integers can be negative, x = -4 and x + 1 = -3 Both are solutions.

A. Let s and f be the weights of sugar and flour in the mixture. Then we can write an expression for the total weight of the mixture: s + f. Also, we know that f = 10s or s = f/10. Now, we can rewrite s + f as f/10 + f = 11f/10, and insert it into a compound inequality: 40 11f/10 50 400/11 f 500/11 So, the baker needs between 36.36 and 45.45 pounds of flour.
