Algebra 2 is made up of five instructional components: Introduction of the New Increment, Examples with Complete Solutions, Practice of the Increment, Daily Problem Sets and Cumulative Tests. Algebra 2 not only treats topics that are traditionally covered in second-year algebra, but also covers a considerable amount of geometry. Time is spent developing geometric concepts and writing proof outlines. Students completing Algebra 2 Will have studied the equivalent of one semester of informal geometry. Applications to other subjects such as physics and chemistry, as well as real-world problems, are covered, including gas laws, force vectors, chemical mixtures, and percent markups. Set theory, probability and statistics, and other topics are also included..

Algebra 2 includes such topics as:

• graphical solution of simultaneous equations
• scientific notation
• radicals
• roots of quadratic equations including complex roots
• properties of real numbers
• factoring
• inequalities and systems of inequalities
• logarithms and antilogarithms
• conic sections
• exponential equations
• basic trigonometric functions
• algebra of polynomials
• vectors in polar and rectangular form
• algebraic word problems

The Algebra 2 Package Includes:

Algebra 2 Homeschool Kit

Saxon's secondary mathematics programs have been carefully planned and packaged. All you need to successfully teach each program is included in the homeschool kit. The Algebra 2 homeschool kit includes a textbook, an answer key for textbook problem sets, and tests.

Solutions Manual

The Solutions Manual provides step-by-step solutions for each problem in the textbook problem sets.
