Intermediate Algebra is a textbook for students who have some acquaintance with the basic notions of variables and equations, negative numbers, and graphs, although we provide a "Toolkit" to help the reader refresh any skills that may have gotten a little rusty. In this book we journey farther into the subject, to explore a greater variety of topics including graphs and modeling, curve-fitting, variation, exponentials and logarithms, and the conic sections. We use technology to handle data and give some instructions for using a graphing calculator, but these can easily be adapted to any other graphing utility.

It is essential to lay a solid foundation in mathematics if a student is to be competitive in today's global market. The importance of algebra, in particular, cannot be overstated, as it is the basis of all mathematical modeling used in applications found in all disciplines.

Traditionally, the study of algebra is separated into a two parts, Elementary and Intermediate Algebra. This textbook by John Redden, Intermediate Algebra, is the second part. Written in a clear and concise manner, it carefully builds on the basics learned in Elementary Algebra and introduces the more advanced topics required for further study in applications found in most disciplines.

Used as a standalone textbook, Intermediate Algebra offers plenty of review as well as something new to engage the student in each chapter. Written as a blend of the traditional and graphical approaches to the subject, this textbook introduces functions early and stresses the geometry behind the algebra. While CAS independent, a standard scientific calculator will be required and further research using technology is encouraged.

Intermediate Algebra is written from the ground up in an open and modular format, allowing the instructor to modify it and leverage their individual expertise as a means to maximize the student experience and success.

A more modernized element, embedded video examples, are present, but the importance of practice with pencil and paper is consistently stressed. Therefore, this text respects the traditional approaches to algebra pedagogy while enhancing it with the technology available today.

The importance of Algebra cannot be overstated; it is the basis for all mathematical modeling used in all disciplines. After completing a course sequence based on Elementary and Intermediate Algebra, students will be on firm footing for success in higher-level studies at the college level.

Intermediate Algebra Student Workbook, modified by De Anza College's Professor Doli Bambhania, is based upon Intermediate Algebra Student Workbook, Fourth Edition, 2014, by Scottsdale Community College. The included content is designed to lead students through Intermediate Algebra, from a functions modeling approach, and to develop a deep understanding of the concepts associated with functions, from mathematical, computational and applications perspectives. The workbook assumes the knowledge of prealgebra, as well as topics surrounding linear and quadratic functions. Access to a graphing calculator is assumed and the use of one is required for some of the lessons and practice problems.

Intermediate Algebra Basic algebraic concepts, including rational expressions, functions and their graphs, radicals, quadratics, and logarithms/exponentials.  Prerequisite: MAT 091 or placement beyond prerequisite. Four lecture.Course GoalsTo build student confidence in the use algebraic skills to expand and reinforce concepts previously learned, to have students develop a positive attitude toward mathematics and to build algebraic skills in the listed areas.

This workbook was created by mathematics instructors at Scottsdale Community College in Scottsdale, Arizona. It is designed to lead students through Introductory Algebra, and to help them develop a deep understanding of the concepts. The included curriculum is broken into twelve lessons. 303 pages. Also contains links to video mini-lessons.

This animation from KET's distance learning physics course demonstrates the mathematical formula for a scientific law as it applies to light.

This is the first unit in the Algebra II curriculum and is fundamental for the rest of the year. During this course students study many different functions and their key features. Students will compare, contrast, and make generalizations about these functions using the key features and proper notation. This unit ensures that students can identify each type of key feature properly throughout the rest of the year.Objectives:  Students will express and interpret intervals using both interval and inequality notation.Students will be able to express the domain and range of graphs using both interval and inequality notation.Students will be able to find the x and y intercepts of a function from a graph or from a linear equation.Students will be able to identify extrema, increasing, decreasing and constant intervals of a graph using interval notation.Students will be able to write the end behavior for any given graph.Technology Utilized: ● Desmos - This is an online graphing tool that can be used to make basic graphs as well as premade teacher bundles with student investigations. In this unit I have taken some of the premade investigations and edited them to meet my classroom needs.● Answer Garden - This tool will be used to brainstorm key features at the beginning of the unit and to assess student’s prior knowledge.● Kahoot - This tool is used as a classroom formative assessment. Students must be all on the same question which can also elicit discussion and show misconceptions with instant feedback.● Google Forms - This tool is used for short assessments, exit tickets, and graded homework assignments. The ability for multiple types of questions and self checking quiz option make this an easy way to quickly assess students and give feedback.

This is a resource to introduce new algebra students to the topic and understand where algebra comes from.  Many times students think algebra is a foreign language but it is not as complicated when you understand where it comes from starting by looking at expressions/equations can be simple.  The evaluation is attempting to start making expressions equivalent.

The purpose of this task is to give students practice in reading, analyzing, and constructing algebraic expressions, attending to the relationship between the form of an expression and the context from which it arises. The context here is intentionally thin; the point is not to provide a practical application to kitchen floors, but to give a framework that imbues the expressions with an external meaning.

Assignment that helps the student define functions and relations with their domains and ranges and identify the different representations for each. Includes examples and practice problems.
