    Algebra II on Khan Academy: Your studies in algebra 1 have built a solid foundation from which you can explore linear equations, inequalities, and functions. In algebra 2 we build upon that foundation and not only extend our knowledge of algebra 1, but slowly become capable of tackling the BIG questions of the universe. We'll again touch on systems of equations, inequalities, and functions...but we'll also address exponential and logarithmic functions, logarithms, imaginary and complex numbers, conic sections, and matrices. Don't let these big words intimidate you. We're on this journey with you!
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

    “The point of Math isn’t just to pass the next exam, the point of math is to understand Math and apply it to life later on and to not relearn everything every time”
    This is on-point. Thank you Sal!

    I'll explain how he got to convert log base 2 (32) and log base 2 (8). long base 2 (32) is 2 to the X equals 32. 32 can be divided into 8 times 4. Each of these can be factored into 2 to the 3rd and 2 to the second respectively. That will make log base 2 (32) equal to 5. then you multiply 5 with the coefficient 1/2 to get 5/2. Similarly, log base 2 (8) is equal to 3, then multiply it with 1/4 to get 3/4. You add 1/2 to 3/4 and you get 7/4.

    I just love a teacher who thinks out loud like you! A lot of teachers don't do that because they dont' want to feel stupid in front of their students. They don't realize that they can gain their students' confidence in them that way, plus it is a good humor when you are thinking out loud and end up on something funny.

    You're correct. This is because computers use a binary number system (versus decimal) so if you have 8 digits, you can represent 256 numbers; if you have 9 digits, then 512 and if you have 10, then 1024
