To the Student
These practice activities are correlated to the state performance indicators for Algebra II
and are designed to prepare you to take Tennessees high school assessment test. The
practice tests reect the type of wording likely to be encountered on the actual test.

Move exibly between multiple representations (contextual, physical,
written, verbal, iconic/pictoral, graphical, tabular, and symbolic) of
non-linear and transcendental functions to solve problems, to model
mathematical ideas, and to communicate solution strategies.
In approaching a mathematical problem, remember that you have many types of tools available.
Dont be afraid to use different kinds of descriptions or representations to help you understand and
solve a problem.
EXAMPLE
A savings account earns 3% compounded annually. Write an expression for the amount A in the
account after t years.
Year
Amount
A 1 0.03A 5 A(1.03)
A(1.03)t
To find the amount in an account that earns interest compounded annually after a given number of
years, first add the interest rate as a decimal to 1. Calculate the power with this number as the base
and the number of years as the exponent. Then multiply the result by the original amount in the
account.

Recognize and describe errors in data collection and analysis as well as
identifying representations of data as being accurate or misleading.
Data should be collected and presented in a way that avoids bias. In reading a report or summary of
data, keep in mind the following questions:
Is the data set large enough? Was the data collection technique appropriate? Are graphs properly
constructed? Do the conclusions avoid unfounded inferences?
EXAMPLE
A phone survey of 1140 randomly selected households in
a small town produced the data summarized in the chart.
On this basis, the study concluded that a typical income
for this town was about $30,000 per year. Is this a sound
conclusion?

0220 20225 25235 35260 .60
Annual Income
If typical refers to the mean income, the conclusion is
($1000)
unfounded. The mean is almost certainly $35,000 or higher.
The unequal intervals from 0 to $60 thousand are a questionable aspect of the graphs construction.

Use technology tools to identify and describe patterns in data using
non-linear and transcendental functions that approximate data as well as
using those functions to solve contextual problems.
To find an appropriate model for a data set, examine the data and/or its graph for hints of an
appropriate type of model. A calculators regression feature can then help you find an equation of a
model. The closer the value of r 2 (the square of the correlation coefficient) is to 1, the better the model.
Once you have a model, you can use it to make predictions. A prediction is most reliable for values of
the independent variable that lie between or near the minimum and maximum domain values of the data.
EXAMPLE
Consider the following data:
(3.6, 21.5), (14.1, 493.8), (29.3, 2674.5), (40.5, 5629.3)
a.
b.
Use your model to predict the value of y to the nearest hundred when x 5 21.5.
Solution
a.
The data are clearly not linear. A sketch shows a curved, basically parabolic graph. Enter the
data into a calculator and try a quadratic regression model:
y < 4.21x2 2 34.5x 1 107
r2 5 0.999845
b.
Experimenting further with a calculator shows that an exponential model is a much poorer fit
(r 2 < 0.91), but that the power model y < 1.13x2.30 is an even better fit (r 2 < 0.999999).

Use mathematical language, symbols, denitions, proofs and counterexamples correctly and precisely to effectively communicate reasoning
in the process of solving problems via mathematical modeling with both
linear and non-linear functions.
A counterexample is an example that disproves a hypothesis, proposition, or theorem.
EXAMPLE
Geri believes that the squares of two natural numbers {1, 2, 3, } cannot add up to the square
of another natural number. Give a counterexample.
Solution
Make a table of squares for the natural numbers:
n
n2
16
25
From the table, it is apparent that 9 1 16 5 25, or 32 1 42 5 52. The squares of the natural numbers
3 and 4 add up to the square of the natural number 5. This fact is a counterexample that disproves
Geris hypothesis.

Use the number system, from real to complex, to solve equations and
contextual problems.
A solution of a linear equation with real number coefficients will be a real number. Once you begin
solving polynomial equations of degree two and higher, however, the solution set may include
complex numbers. For example, a quadratic equation ax2 1 bx 1 c 5 0 has complex solutions when
the discriminant, b2 2 4ac, is negative.
