Advanced Algebra covers diverse topics such as the Evaluation of Functions, Operations

and Composition of Functions, and Dividing Polynomials using both Long Division and
Synthetic Division.

In the Evaluation of Functions, algebraic equations are explored as statements of


equality involving numbers and variables. Functions, denoted as f(x), map inputs
(independent variable, x) to outputs (dependent variable, y), and their notation is crucial
in mathematical expressions. Practice problems demonstrate the substitution process,
and the importance of understanding function notation.

The Operations and Composition of Functions delve into basic algebraic


operations—addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Composite functions,
formed by substituting one function into another, are exemplified, emphasizing the
interplay of domain and range.

The section on Dividing Polynomials presents both Long Division and Synthetic Division
methods. Long Division employs laws of exponents and the distributive property, while
Synthetic Division serves as a quicker alternative, particularly useful for linear factors (x
- c).

Throughout, illustrative examples and practice problems offer a comprehensive


understanding of Advanced Algebra concepts. The provided references and video links
further complement the learning experience.
