Can you take precalculus and algebra 2 trig at the same time?
No, you can't. Although similar in concepts, Pre-Calculus is more advanced than Algebra 2. Algebra 2 is taken between Algebra 1 and Geometry or after Geometry and before Pre-Calculus. The reason that you can't take both at the same time is because of the curriculum. Pre-Calculus does not spend nearly as much time on linear topics (linear equations, linear programming, etc.) as Algebra 2 does. Pre-Calculus also almost always is 2 courses in one: Pre-Calculus and Trigonometry. Algebra 2 has very little, if any, trig. Topics that they have in common are quadratics equations/functions, polynomial equations/functions, rational functions, exponential & logarithmic functions (sometimes these are not covered in Algebra 2), possibly conic sections in Algebra 2, definitely in Pre-Calculus, factoring, and probability/sequences/series/statistics. In addition to trigonometry, pre-calculus also covers polar and parametric topics (these will NEVER NEVER NEVER be seen in Algebra 2) and an introduction to limits. So, you must take Algebra 2 before pre-calculus. If you want to take 2 math courses in 1 year, try algebra 1 and geometry (not very common), algebra 2 and geometry (somewhat common), and some schools allow honors students with a solid A in Algebra 2 (assuming you took Algebra 2 before Geometry, this differs between schools) allow you to take geometry and pre-calculus in the same year. The study of proofs is not a major topic in pre-calculus, and proofs make up a majority of geometry.
Should you take advanced math before calculus?
No. College Algebra and Precalculus (or Trigonometry) are enough preparation to take Calculus.
What maths do you take in high school?
You can take any math you want in High School that is at your level. Most of the available classes for most schools are Intro to Algebra I, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, pre-Calculus, and Calculus (not always offered). As long as you take any of these maths (the amount in years varies from place to place), and pass, you can graduate from high school.
What math classes do you need to take to be a RN nurse?
In high school, you should take the full series of math available to you. Algebra is critical to the daily work of a registered nurse. Geometry, probability and statistics, and calculus are also helpful.
Can you skip geometry and just go on to algebra 2?
In many schools, geometry comes before algebra 2. You can ask your school if you can take geo online or at your own time. If you plan to take algebra 2 and trig, it is helpful to take geo.
