Summit Math Algebra 2 Book 3: Quadratic Equations and Parabolas - Paperback

To help students succeed in learning math at school or at home, Summit Math books start with simple, foundational concepts and build on those ideas in small steps. Written by a math teacher with 16+ years of classroom experience, this series is designed to help students learn at different paces.

Each book is split into 2 parts: 1) Guided Discovery Scenarios, and 2) Homework and Extra Practice Scenarios. The Guided Discovery Scenarios gradually develop new concepts, building on previously learned topics. The Homework and Extra Practice Scenarios improve your understanding and increase your ability to retain what you have learned.

Each part has a separate Answer Key, which is included to promote learning. When you finish each scenario, you can check the Answer Key to see if you are ready to move on or if you need more guidance.

Book description:
Discover how to solve quadratic equations that cannot be factored and then learn about parabolas. In this book, you first learn the method of Completing the Square and then the quadratic formula. You then learn how to graph a parabola by finding its vertex and intercepts. Near the end of the book, you will apply what you have learned about quadratics to analyze a variety of real-world scenarios. The final topic is an introduction to quadratic inequalities. This book builds on Algebra 1: Books 5 and 7 and Algebra 2: Book 1.
