If you are in elementary school or have just taken algebra, you might have a worksheet titled Algebra 2 Worksheet 7.4 A Properties Of Logs. Although it is not entirely necessary to have it, if you do have it, you might want to check this out, especially if you have doubts about your scores in this section of the test.
The questions are almost identical to the ones in the actual test and have several themes. It seems that these questions were designed by a person who just knows what he or she is doing. In fact, the questions and answers in this section are not even about algebra at all but rather about various forms of mathematics, which are used to solve certain problems in algebra.
The first question on this worksheet is “Comparing and contrasting two expressions of a function.” It is actually a good question because it helps students learn about functions, how they are derived and how to compare the results of different methods of function development. The other problems with this question are that it has a confusing answer and the answer is left as a mystery.
The second question on this worksheet is about real numbers and fractions. Here, it is compared to the questions in the Algebra II textbook. Although this problem does help students learn how to compute real and imaginary parts, it is still very difficult to understand.
The third question is about “Expressions of a function on multiple variables.” This question is answered quite differently from other questions and is difficult to understand for students who do not know much about functions and their equations.
The fourth question is about “The rule of diminishing returns: x *= -y for all x.” This is where students get a taste of the types of problems they will be facing in higher-level algebra. The other problems are also quite hard to understand for students who are just starting.
The fifth question is about “Subtracting different quantities and using the result.” Students should think about the correct answer here because there is no way to skip this question. The other problems are rather easy to understand and solve, so students who are not sure why they are supposed to subtract one number from another should do this.
The sixth question is about “Finding the roots of a quadratic equation.” Again, students should be careful because the answer could be very confusing.
