Algebra 2 Final Exam Review Packet

Students simplify, factor, and expand polynomial expressions of varying degree.

Students find the slope, intercepts, and equation of a line, including lines perpendicular to a given line.

Students solve quadratic equations and use the discriminant to determine the number and type of roots.

Students identify the degree, zeros, and vertex of a polynomial or parabola from its equation or graph.

Students simplify expressions involving complex numbers, including finding a complex conjugate.

Have students start with the topics they understand least, per the packet's own introduction, rather than working straight through in order.

Remind students of the exam's note-sheet policy (one handwritten 8.5-by-11 page, no photocopies) stated in the introduction, since it shapes how they should prepare.

Use the closing 'Random practice' section as open-response follow-up after students have worked through the multiple-choice items on the same topics.

Polynomial simplification and factoring — students expand, combine, and factor polynomial expressions across dozens of items.

Quadratic equation solving — students solve quadratics and use the discriminant to determine the number and nature of roots.

Complex number operations — students simplify expressions involving complex numbers and identify complex conjugates.

Linear and quadratic graph analysis — students identify slope, intercepts, vertex, and x-intercepts from equations and graphs.
