The curriculum for 8th grade under Mordkovich is known for its "functional-graphical" approach, prioritizing the study of functions and their properties. Major sections include:

D=b2−4ac=(-5)2−4(1)(6)=25−24=1cap D equals b squared minus 4 a c equals open paren negative 5 close paren squared minus 4 open paren 1 close paren open paren 6 close paren equals 25 minus 24 equals 1

Simplification, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of rational expressions. Quadratic Roots: Properties of the arithmetic square root ( xthe square root of x end-root ), extracting factors, and simplifying radical expressions.

Video tutorials for complex topics like the transformation of rational expressions.

Solving linear and quadratic inequalities and systems of inequalities. Sample Problem: Solving a Quadratic Equation

A common exercise found in Mordkovich's Part 2 involves finding the roots of a quadratic equation. Solve Identify Coefficients: Calculate the Discriminant ( ):

Solving full and incomplete equations using the discriminant ( ) and Vieta's theorem. Functions and Graphs: In-depth study of (hyperbola), (parabola), and
