Advance Algebra and Trigonometry is a high-school course that allows students to further strengthen their algebra skills and study trigonometry before enrolling in a precalculus course. It a standard college-preparatory course and is generally reccomended for students who have passed Algebra 2 with below a B- (80%).
This course incorporates several topics, including linear equations,
absolute value, functions, polynomials, factoring, rational expressions, radicals, complex numbers,
quadratics, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, right triangle trigonometry, circular trigonometry, trigonometric identities, graphs of trigonometric functions.
A textbook generally suggested for this course is
Intermediate Algebra by Larson, Hostetler, and Edwards.
Last year, I had to enroll in Advanced Algebra and
Trigonometry because I had a C in
Algebra 2; this course, due to its weighting, brought down my GPA (grade point average)
significantly.
