Congratulations! You’ve worked hard this semester and should feel proud of your accomplishments. In this semester, you studied how to solve equations and inequalities. You identified nets and calculated the surface areas, volumes, and unknown dimensions of different solid figures. You learned to identify and represent functions in different ways. You sketched graphs of linear functions, quadratic functions, and other nonlinear functions. You solved systems of linear equations. You performed operations on polynomials and powers having the same base.

The end of the course is near. Your only remaining task for this semester is to study for and take the semester exam.

In this lesson, you will review the topics you have studied this semester in order to prepare for the semester exam. This lesson provides a brief overview of each unit, along with examples and practice problems. Refer back to individual unit lessons for more detailed information.
