Math is taught like this: Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Trigonometry. Algebra I is similar to Algebra 2, but Algebra 2 has more difficult concepts, such as imaginary numbers. Added: I would have put statistics and trig in between Algebra 2 and Pre-calculus. You review trig in precalculus and statistics is the first transferable math course in college.
you don't go from algebra to calculus and linear algebra. you go from algebra to geometry to advanced algebra with trig to pre calculus to calculus 1 to calculus 2 to calculus 3 to linear algebra. so since you got an A+ in algebra, I think you are good.
No, not even close. Though both work with variables in some instances and other mathematical techniques, such as logarithms and algebraic manipulation, algebra is mostly equation solving to get the variables value, though trig has equations, while trig is the study of triangular and circular measurement and using these measurements to solve specific problems. Trig is much about identities, functions and many formulas while algebra is mostly about function and equation manipulation. Still, they are both mathematical disciplines.
Most schools require students to take Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. Some schools also require their students to take Trig, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. In most cases, the order in which the classes are taken does not matter, but the majority of students take them in the order above.
it is the same as you can ask why do you need to drink a water as algebra is one of the components of your building education and future work as well as water is the one building things for your body. It also helps your mind to think in a different way. It will help with trig, you can apply it in physics a CRAZY amount of times, and it will help find unknown variables in higher math like Geometry or Calculus

Algebra is basically arithmetic with variable expressions, trigonometry comes after algebra because you need algebra to understand sine, cosine, tangent, as well as secant, cosecant, and cotangent.
You need to be able to solve logarithms and be very good at algebra. In college, you have to be able to do college level algebra before you can take trig.
some algebra, mostly geometry, and a little bit of trig.

Precalculus is supposed to be a stringent and comprehensive review of both algebra and trigonometry. This is in preparation for calculus which uses both algebra and trig extensively.
We don't. We then learn trig, calculus, and then differential equations, and we use that.

there can be more than 1 answer for some trig equations and you must use your knowledge of periodicity to get the answers.
