About this unit

In Algebra 2, students learned a lot about polynomial functions. In this unit, we tackle advanced topics like the Binomial Theorem and the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. We will also perform more challenging polynomial division and dive deeper into the graphical method for solving equations.
