Welcome to Algebra 2 !

Before we get too far into the fun, I wanted to personally introduce myself: I'm your virtual instructor, Professor Burger. Welcome to Thinkwell's wonderful world of Algebra 2!

Together, you and I will build on the concepts we developed in Algebra 1 and explore new, more challenging ideas that are central to Algebra 2. Through my lessons I hope to help you to MAKE MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS with the math ideas in Algebra 2 — there ’ s no need to memorize if you focus on deep understanding. I invite (urge) you to take the time to truly think through the math we ’ ll explore together and to mindfully practice the skills behind the ideas every day. If you do, you ’ ll not only succeed in Algebra 2, but you ’ ll also be on solid ground for all the other math in your future! About This Book This is a companion book to Thinkwell's Algebra 2 online video course. Use this book as a complement to the online materials. I always say that to learn math you must DO MATH! I encourage you to put pencil to paper and • take notes in this book • highlight key concepts and earmark ideas you want to remember • doodle, sketch, and visualize the math ideas presented in each topic.

In a nutshell, make this book your own and keep it by your side as you study the concepts in this course. This book is divided into chapters. Within each chapter are a series of Algebra 2 topics. Every topic online contains my Video Lessons along with an electronic version of the Notes, Practice questions and Worksheet questions (although I wish we ’ d call them “ Funsheets ” , but that ’ s another story). How To Use This Book Use this book alongside the online course and TAKE NOTES here while watching my video lessons. Your own notes are a key to your own success — I promise. Since this book summarizes the concepts, vocabulary, and key examples presented in the Video Lessons, it is a great tool to help you navigate the videos — but this companion book is not intended as a shortcut to replace the Video Lessons. To get the most out of this learning experience, I urge you to watch (and think through) all of the online Video Lessons. Maybe even watch some twice! The online Algebra 2 course offers lots of opportunities to practice the skills you ’ ll need for success in Algebra 2. Each topic ’ s Worksheet Practice and Interactive Practice is a collection of questions connected to the content presented in the Video Lessons. I've included those questions here in this book, so you can explore them offline and spend time really thinking through each question. I always say that the best way to learn math is to DO MATH. So, take advantage of all the opportunities to practice what you've learned!

Finally, at the end of each section, I've included a Review Worksheet to give you even more opportunities to review and practice the concepts you learned in the Video Lessons. Put pencil to paper (or pen, if you dare) to answer each question. I recommend you complete these Reviews before taking the course Quizzes and Tests online. LET'S GO! I look forward to our Algebra 2 journey together! Remember to make meaning and focus on deep understanding … and also remember that YOU CAN DO IT! Have fun! If you have any questions, please reach out to my friends at Thinkwell. Email them at support@thinkwell.com. Also, I ’ m on Twitter @ebb663, if you want to say, “ hello ” .

I wish you all the best in your Algebra 2 success!

Your virtual teacher,

— Prof. B.

6.1.1 Polynomials Key Objectives • Find the degree of polynomials. • Write polynomials in standard form. • Identify the leading coefficient of polynomials.

• Classify polynomials. • Evaluate polynomials. Key Terms • A monomial is a number or a product of numbers and variables with exponents that are whole numbers. • A binomial is a polynomial with two terms. • A trinomial is a polynomial with three terms. • A polynomial is one monomial or the sum or difference of monomials. • The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of the variables in the monomial. • The degree of a polynomial is equal to the degree of the monomial in the polynomial with the greatest degree. • A polynomial in one variable is in standard form when the terms are written in descending order by degree. • A leading coefficient is the coefficient of the first term of a polynomial in standard form. A polynomial can be classified by its degree and the number of terms, as shown in the tables below. For example, a polynomial with degree 1 and two terms is a linear binomial. Identifying the degree of a polynomial is discussed in Example 1.

9

6.1.1 Polynomials (continued) Example 1 Classifying Polynomials In Example 1, Prof. Burger finds the degree of polynomials.

The degree of a monomial with exactly one variable is equal to the variable’s exponent. The degree of a monomial with more than one variable is equal to the sum of the variable’s exponents. The degree of a monomial with no variable is 0. The degree of a polynomial is equal to the degree of the monomial term in the polynomial with the greatest degree.

14

6.1.2 Adding and Subtracting Polynomials Key Objectives • Add polynomials horizontally. • Write polynomial expressions for perimeter.

• Find the opposite of polynomials. • Subtract polynomials horizontally. • Write polynomial expressions for profit. • Evaluate polynomial expressions. Formulas • Perimeter of a Rectangle P = 2 L + 2 w , where L and w are the length and width of the rectangle, respectively. • Profit Formula P = R − C , where R is revenue and C is cost. Operations can be performed on polynomials, just as they can be performed on numbers. Example 1 Adding Polynomials Horizontally To add polynomials, combine like terms. Recall that like terms are two or more terms with the same variable raised to the same power. In Example 1, Prof. Burger adds polynomials by applying the Associative Property (to remove the parentheses) and then combining like terms.

15

6.1.2 Adding and Subtracting Polynomials (continued) Example 2 Art Application

In Example 2, Prof. Burger writes a polynomial expression to represent the perimeter of a rectangle. The Distributive Property is used to simplify the expression. Recall that by the Distributive Property, a ( b + c ) = ab + ac.

Example 3 Finding the Opposite of a Polynomial To find the opposite of a polynomial, multiply the polynomial by − 1, or write the opposite of each term in the polynomial.

16

6.1.2 Adding and Subtracting Polynomials (continued) Example 4 Subtracting Polynomials Horizontally

Recall that subtracting a number is the same as adding its opposite (e.g., 3 − 5 = 3 + − 5). To subtract a polynomial, add the opposite of that polynomial and then combine like terms, as demonstrated by Prof. Burger in Example 4.

Example 5 Business Application

In Example 5, Prof. Burger writes a polynomial expression for the profit generated by selling x model kits, using the fact that profit is equal to revenue minus cost. He then evaluates that expression for x = 300,000 to find the profit earned for selling 300,000 model kits.

6.1.4 Factoring Polynomials Key Objectives • Use various methods to factor polynomials. Key Terms • Grouping is a method used in factoring that calls for terms to be grouped together to find common factors. Example 1 Factoring Polynomials by Grouping Some four-term polynomials can be factored into two binomials using the grouping method.

27

6.1.4 Factoring Polynomials (continued)

Example 2 Factoring Polynomials Just as there is a special rule for factoring the difference of two squares, there are special rules for factoring

6.1.5 Dividing Polynomials Key Objectives • Divide polynomials by monomials and by binomials. • Perform long division of polynomials. Example 1 Dividing a Polynomial by a Monomial To divide a polynomial by a monomial, first write division as a rational expression. Then divide each term in the polynomial (numerator) by the monomial (denominator).

Example 2 Dividing a Polynomial by a Binomial Use the following steps to divide a polynomial by a binomial. 1. Factor the numerator and denominator, if possible. 2. Divide out any common factors. 3. Simplify.

33

6.1.5 Dividing Polynomials (continued) Example 3 Polynomial Long Division Use the following steps to divide polynomials using long division, as demonstrated by Prof. Burger in Example 3. 1. Write the binomial and the polynomial in long division form, with the expressions in standard form. 2. Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor to get the first term of the quotient. 3. Multiply the first term of the quotient by the binomial divisor and place the product under the dividend, aligning like terms. 4. Subtract the product from the dividend. 5. Bring down the next term in the dividend. 6. Repeat Steps 2-5 as necessary until the difference is a 0 or until the degree of the remainder is less than the degree of the binomial.

34

6.1.5 Dividing Polynomials (continued) Example 4 Long Division with a Remainder

When dividing polynomials, if the divisor (denominator) is a factor of the dividend (numerator), then the remainder of long division will be 0. If the divisor is not a factor of the dividend, then the remainder is not 0. The remainder can be written as a rational expression, as demonstrated by Prof. Burger in Example 4.

Example 5 Dividing Polynomials That Have a Zero Coefficient In Example 5, Prof. Burger demonstrates using long division when a place holder is needed for a term with a zero coefficient.

The following statements about real roots of polynomial equations are equivalent. • A real number r is a root of the polynomial equation P ( x ) = 0. • P ( r ) = 0 • r is an x -intercept of the graph of P ( x ). • x − r is a factor of P ( x ). • When you divide the rule for P ( x ) by x − r , the remainder is 0. • r is a zero of P ( x ). Example 1 Writing Polynomial Functions Given Zeros

To write the simplest polynomial function given its zeros, use the fact that if r is a zero of P ( x ), then x − r is a factor of P ( x ) to write the zeros as binomial factors of P ( x ). Then multiply the factors to write the function in expanded form.

6.2.2 Fundamental Theorem of Algebra (continued) Example 2 Finding All Roots of a Polynomial Equation Polynomial functions, like quadratic functions, may have complex zeros that are not real numbers. The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra Every polynomial function of degree n ≥ 1 has at least one zero, where a zero may be a complex number. Every polynomial function of degree n ≥ 1 has exactly n zeros, including multiplicities. Using this theorem, any polynomial function can be written in factored form. To find all roots of a polynomial equation, use a combination of the Rational Root Theorem, the Irrational Root Theorem, and methods for finding complex roots, such as the Quadratic Formula.

But here the term complex root will only refer to a root of the form a + bi , where b ≠ 0. Complex roots, like irrational roots, come in conjugate pairs. Recall that the complex conjugate of a + bi is a − bi . Complex Conjugate Root Theorem If a + bi is a root of a polynomial equation with real number coefficients, then a − bi is also a root.

6.2.3 Investigating Graphs of Polynomial Functions Key Objectives • Use properties of end behavior to analyze, describe, and graph polynomial functions. • Identify and use maxima and minima of polynomial functions to solve problems. Key Terms • End behavior is the trend in the y -values of a function as the x -values approach positive and negative infinity. • A turning point is a point on the graph of a function that corresponds to a local maximum (or minimum) where the graph changes from increasing to decreasing (or vice versa). • For a function f , f ( a ) is a local maximum if there is an interval around a such that f ( x ) < f ( a ) for every x -value in the interval except a . • For a function f , f ( a ) is a local minimum if there is an interval around a such that f ( x ) > f ( a ) for every x -value in the interval except a . Polynomial functions are classified by their degree. The graphs of polynomial functions are classified by the degree of the polynomial. Each graph, based on the degree, has a distinctive shape and characteristics. End behavior is a description of the values of the function as x approaches positive infinity ( x → +∞ ) or negative infinity ( x → −∞ ). The degree and leading coefficient of a polynomial function determine its end behavior. Determining the end behavior is helpful when graphing polynomial functions.
