In this unit, students deepen their understanding of quadratic functions by extending the domain and range to the set of complex numbers. Students extend their knowledge of number properties and operations to the set of complex numbers. Students solve quadratic inequalities using the graph of the related quadratic function. In Algebra 2 with Analysis, students represent quadratic functions given points on the graph. Students develop an understanding of polynomial functions of degree greater than two by analyzing their graphs and finding the zeros using various techniques. Students use finite differences to determine the degree of a polynomial function represented numerically, then determine the function using polynomial regression. In Algebra 2 with Analysis, students solve polynomial inequalities algebraically.
