Nah im toast, especially once we start doing quadratic equations
Could you ace a HS algebra 2 test for a milli?

yeah i remember the conic and logarithm shyt the most from Algebra 2 , hated that shyt . that was my last math class in HS sophomore year
That's way above the shyt they taught at my HS, but, that was the 90s, and I did drop out. I did pretty well both times I took the SAT, I might get lucky, but I don't like my chances.
yes
i just hate actually doing it. i loved multiple choice cause i didnt have to fukkin show my work and waste time

plug couldnt trust you now u cant trust the plug
I'm not an old nikka like y'all but I probably couldn't pass this randomly. I haven't done algebra 2 since I was a sophomore in high school.
Last math I've done was statistics two years ago and it isn't exactly similar to algebra.

This shyt is not as hard as it looks.
The first two questions is basic order of operations. They give you the value of x just substitute their value into x and follow PEMDAS
Question 3 is also basic order of operations. you don't need to solve it (you actually can't solve it with the information given). However the point of polynomial equations isn't really to solve anything but to graph it and look at patterns. Simplifying it just helps give you a better picture of that graph would look like. To simplify you follow the order of operations by distributing the 2 into the parenthesis to get -6y-12-8y. From there you combine like terms to get the final answer: -14y-12
Question 4. Again basic fraction math you combine like values. It will probably help to reorder the equation. Then find least common denominator x^2/3 - x^2/4....turns into 4x^2/12 - 3x^2/12 which becomes x^2/12 do the same with the x/2-x/5 and that simplifies to 3x/10. Final answer is B. Also you don't even have to fully simplify once you do the first simplification and got x^2/12 you see there's only one answer with that term in it.
Question 5. Basic order of operations again. Perimeter just add up all the sides again just combine like values. Add the x's the each other and the y's together.
Question 6. That's just basic the square roots cancel each other out and you're left with 20
7. multiple 5*25 = 125 and the cubed root of 125 is 5. Or take the cubed root of 5 * 5 *5 and you see it's also 5.
8. 8^2 = 64 take the cubed root of 64 and you have 4.
9. a linear function is a straight line meaning there should not be any x value with an exponential function to it. 2x+1 is linear because when you graph that every point on the graph will be connected via a straight line. Once you square the value of x it will be what's called a Quadratic or a U shape or parabola
If there's any x value that is squared it's quadratic.
Question 9. is somewhat a trick question because you'll see the -6x^2 and think it's qusratic however once you simplify it you realize the -6x^2 at the end qill be cancelled out by a 6x^2 from the x*6x. So it's going to be linear and the constant term is going to be 12. You don't even have to fully simplify it and find the quadratic term. you just apply basic test taking strategy here. You know it's linear with a constant term of 12 and there's only one answer with that which is b.
10. Automatically should see it will be quadratic with a quadratic term of 9x^2. Again don't even have to finish the simplification here the only answer that is quadratic with quadratic 9x^2 is b.
The degree of a function is the term with the highest exponent. 2x^2+1 is a second degree function 2x^3+1 is a 3rd degree function. It doesn't matter if there are other exponents in the function.
I hate question like these because their easy questions that try to trip you up with wording. Using the terms "quintic" instead of saying 5th degree is just stupid when the question specifically is just asking for the degree. Also asking for the number of terms and then using the words "binomial". But I get it the basically just want to know if you know what those terms mean.
13. The scenario is just word salad. You just simplify the equation like you did in previous questions but again basic test taking skills here. Automatically I know the highest degree this function will be is 3rd degree 4w^3. The only option with this is c.
14. This is just basic fraction math. Divide each term by 3.
Like I said this test isn't really algebra 2. It's basically simplifying some equations using order of operations except instead of numbers you have variables. And they make it easier because the multiple choice answers for most of the equations make it so you don't even have to fully simplify.

I hear ya. I have a degree in economics and had to do calc and heavy statistics/econometrics.
Different schools have different standards on their curriculum. One schools algebra program can be completely watered down compared to another.
Nope been forgot all that shyt.

Any Other subject I excelled at, my weak math is the reason I’m not an engineer with a bs from fkn MIT or some shyt. I’m very good at creating things and understanding mechanical components to figure out how to improve on a design, but because I couldn’t express it mathematically I couldn’t go into STEM
Still make 6 figures though
For now
