Algebra 2 Regents June 2023: Key Concepts and Problem Solving

Vin guides viewers through the Algebra 2 June 2023 Regents exam, covering parts two, three, and four. The video includes solving algebraic equations, analyzing exponential functions, finding polynomial roots, writing recursive sequences, solving logarithmic equations, simplifying expressions, calculating probabilities, creating polynomial functions, solving systems of equations, and modeling population changes. Each section provides detailed explanations and problem-solving strategies to help students understand and apply mathematical concepts effectively.

What is one method to minimize bias when gathering a sample for a survey?

• Survey only students in the library

• Survey every student entering the campus

• Ask students to volunteer for the survey

• Pick random names from a list of students

When solving the equation algebraically, what is the first step after identifying a square root?

• Add the same value to both sides

• Take the natural log of both sides

• Square both sides of the equation

• Subtract the same value from both sides

What is the recursive formula for a geometric sequence where each term is one-third of the previous term?

• a_n = a_1 * (1/3)^(n-1)

• a_n = a_(n-1) / 3

• a_n = a_1 + (n-1) * (1/3)

• a_n = a_(n-1) * 3

How can you verify if being a supporter is independent of donating online?

• By calculating the average donation amount.

• By checking if the probability of being a supporter given donating online equals the probability of being a supporter.

• By checking if the total number of supporters is greater than the total number of donors.

• By comparing the number of online donations to offline donations.
