WHAT TO BRING • several sharpened No. 2 pencils • graphing calculator • blank scratch paper ABOUT THE EXAM The examination for the first semester of ALG 2A consists of 40 questions, 35 multiple choice questions and 5 open response questions. The exam is based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for this subject. The full list of TEKS is included in this document (it is also available online at the Texas Education Agency website, [http://www.tea.state.tx.us/](http://www.tea.state.tx.us/)). The TEKS outline specific topics covered in the exam, as well as more general areas of knowledge and levels of critical thinking. Use the TEKS to focus your study in preparation for the exam. The examination will take place under supervision, and the recommended time limit is three hours. You may not use any notes or books. A percentage score from the examination will be reported to the official at your school. In preparation for the examination, review the TEKS for this subject. All TEKS are assessed. A list of review topics is included in this document to focus your studies. It is important to prepare adequately. Since questions are not taken from any one source, you can prepare by reviewing any of the state-adopted textbooks that are used at your school. The textbook used with our ALG 2A course is: Larson, R. and Boswell, L. (2016). Big Ideas Math, Algebra 2. Erie, PA: Big Ideas Learning, LLC. ISBN 978-1-60840-816-0 The practice exam included in this document will give you a model of the types of questions that will be asked on your examination. It is not a duplicate of the actual examination. It is provided to illustrate the format of the exam, not to serve as a complete review sheet. Good luck on your examination! Preparing for the CBE For successful completion of the CBE, you should be able to do the following: • apply mathematics to problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace; • use a problem-solving model that incorporates analyzing given information, formulating a plan or strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution, and evaluating the problem-solving process and the reasonableness of the solution; • select tools, including real objects, manipulatives, paper and pencil, and technology as appropriate, and techniques, including mental math, estimation, and number sense as appropriate, to solve problems; • communicate mathematical ideas, reasoning, and their implications using multiple representations, including symbols, diagrams, graphs, and language as appropriate; • create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas; • analyze mathematical relationships to connect and communicate mathematical ideas; • display, explain, or justify mathematical ideas and arguments using precise mathematical language in written or oral communication; • graph the functions f (x) = x ,, f (x) = x3, f (x) = x , f (x) = bx, f (x) = x , and f (x) = logb (x) where b is 2, 10, and e, and, when applicable, analyze the key attributes such as domain, range, intercepts, symmetries, asymptotic behavior, and maximum and minimum given an interval; • formulate systems of equations, including systems consisting of three linear equations in three variables and systems consisting of two equations, the first linear and the second quadratic; • solve systems of three linear equations in three variables by using Gaussian elimination, technology with matrices, and substitution; • solve, algebraically, systems of two equations in two variables consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation; • determine the reasonableness of solutions to systems of a linear equation and a quadratic equation in two variables; • formulate systems o
