Algebra II questions with worked answers
These 8 questions are printed in full on this page and are drawn across all 7 course units. Nothing here is generated on the fly. Cover the options, solve each one on paper, and only then open the worked answer to compare your method with the one shown.
Question 1: Use the remainder theorem to find the remainder when 2x^3 - 5x^2 + 3x - 7 is divided by x - 2.
Algebra II · Polynomial functions
- -5
- 5
- -7
- 0
Show the worked answer
- The remainder theorem says the remainder equals the polynomial evaluated at x = 2.
- 2(2)^3 = 2 x 8 = 16, and -5(2)^2 = -5 x 4 = -20.
- 3(2) = 6, and the constant is -7.
- 16 - 20 + 6 - 7 = -5, so the remainder is -5.
Answer: -5
Question 2: Where is the vertical asymptote of f(x) = (x^2 - 9) / (x^2 - x - 6)?
Algebra II · Rational functions
- x = -2
- x = 3
- x = -3
- x = 2
Show the worked answer
- Factor the top: x^2 - 9 = (x - 3)(x + 3).
- Factor the bottom: x^2 - x - 6 = (x - 3)(x + 2).
- The factor (x - 3) cancels, so x = 3 is a hole, not an asymptote.
- The factor (x + 2) is left in the bottom, so the vertical asymptote is x = -2.
Answer: x = -2
Question 3: Solve the square root of (2x + 7) = x - 4.
Algebra II · Radicals
- x = 9 only
- x = 1 and x = 9
- x = 1 only
- no solution
Show the worked answer
- Square both sides: 2x + 7 = (x - 4)^2 = x^2 - 8x + 16.
- Bring everything to one side: x^2 - 10x + 9 = 0.
- Factor: (x - 1)(x - 9) = 0, so x = 1 or x = 9.
- Check both. At x = 1 the right side is -3, and a square root cannot be negative, so x = 1 fails. Only x = 9 works.
Answer: x = 9 only
Question 4: Multiply (3 + 2i)(4 - 5i).
Algebra II · Complex numbers
- 22 - 7i
- 2 - 7i
- 22 + 7i
- 12 - 10i
Show the worked answer
- Multiply each part: 3 x 4 = 12 and 3 x (-5i) = -15i.
- Then 2i x 4 = 8i and 2i x (-5i) = -10i^2.
- Because i^2 = -1, the term -10i^2 becomes +10.
- Add the real parts 12 + 10 = 22 and the imaginary parts -15i + 8i = -7i, giving 22 - 7i.
Answer: 22 - 7i
Question 5: An account holds $500 and grows 6% per year. To the nearest cent, what is the balance after 12 years?
Algebra II · Exponential models
- $1,006.10
- $860.00
- $1,060.00
- $948.30
Show the worked answer
- Growth of 6% per year multiplies the balance by 1.06 each year.
- After 12 years the balance is 500 x 1.06^12.
- 1.06^12 is about 2.012196.
- 500 x 2.012196 = 1006.098, which rounds to $1,006.10.
Answer: $1,006.10
Question 6: Solve log base 2 of x plus log base 2 of (x - 2) = 3.
Algebra II · Logarithms
- x = 4
- x = 4 and x = -2
- x = 2
- x = 8
Show the worked answer
- Adding two logs with the same base means multiplying the inputs: log base 2 of x(x - 2) = 3.
- Rewrite in exponential form: x(x - 2) = 2^3 = 8.
- That gives x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0, which factors as (x - 4)(x + 2) = 0.
- x = -2 makes the logs undefined, so the only solution is x = 4.
Answer: x = 4
Question 7: An arithmetic sequence starts at 7 and increases by 4 each term. What is the sum of the first 20 terms?
Algebra II · Sequences and series
- 900
- 830
- 1,540
- 460
Show the worked answer
- The sum of n terms is n/2 times (twice the first term plus (n - 1) times the difference).
- Twice the first term is 2 x 7 = 14.
- (20 - 1) x 4 = 76, and 14 + 76 = 90.
- 20 / 2 = 10, and 10 x 90 = 900.
Answer: 900
Question 8: What is the sum of the infinite geometric series 9 + 3 + 1 + 1/3 + ...?
Algebra II · Sequences and series
- 13.5
- 12
- 18
- 27
Show the worked answer
- Each term is one third of the term before, so the common ratio is 1/3.
- An infinite geometric series with a ratio between -1 and 1 sums to first term / (1 - ratio).
- 1 - 1/3 = 2/3.
- 9 divided by 2/3 is 9 x 3/2 = 13.5.
Answer: 13.5

Use this map after marking your work. If two misses share a unit, review that unit before starting a generated set.
How the generated Algebra II sets are created
The 8 questions above are fixed and checked. The generator at the top of the page is different: it writes fresh questions with AI from the course and unit information shown here, then the application checks each one for a complete prompt, four choices, one keyed answer, and an explanation. Generated questions are original practice—not official or released exam questions—and AI can still make mathematical mistakes. Verify a disputed answer with the stated method, your course materials, or the MathGPT solver, and follow the site's academic-integrity guidance.
