Sample Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) High School Algebra II End-of-Course Assessment Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) High School Algebra II End-of-Course Assessment exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which expression is the completely factored form of x^4 - 16 over the real numbers?
A.(x^2 - 4)(x^2 + 4)
B.(x - 2)(x + 2)(x^2 + 4)
C.(x - 2)^2 (x + 2)^2
D.(x - 4)(x + 4)(x^2 + 4)
Explanation: First, factor x^4 - 16 as a difference of squares to get (x^2 - 4)(x^2 + 4). Next, factor (x^2 - 4) further as (x - 2)(x + 2). Since (x^2 + 4) has no real linear factors, the completely factored form over the real numbers is (x - 2)(x + 2)(x^2 + 4).
2Simplify the polynomial sum: (3x^3 - 5x^2 + 2x - 7) + (2x^3 + 4x^2 - 6x + 3).
A.5x^3 - x^2 - 4x - 4
B.5x^3 + x^2 - 8x - 10
C.5x^3 - 9x^2 + 8x - 4
D.6x^3 - x^2 - 4x - 4
Explanation: Combine like terms by adding the coefficients of corresponding powers of x: (3+2)x^3 = 5x^3, (-5+4)x^2 = -x^2, (2 - 6)x = -4x, and (-7 + 3) = -4. This yields 5x^3 - x^2 - 4x - 4.
3According to the Remainder Theorem, what is the remainder when P(x) = 2x^3 - 4x^2 + 3x - 5 is divided by x - 3?
A.12
B.17
C.22
D.31
Explanation: By the Remainder Theorem, the remainder when P(x) is divided by x - 3 is equal to P(3). Evaluating P(3) = 2(3)^3 - 4(3)^2 + 3(3) - 5 = 2(27) - 4(9) + 9 - 5 = 54 - 36 + 9 - 5 = 22.
4Multiply the polynomials: (2x - 3)(x^2 + 4x - 5).
A.2x^3 + 5x^2 - 22x + 15
B.2x^3 + 11x^2 - 22x - 15
C.2x^3 + 5x^2 + 2x - 15
D.2x^3 + 8x^2 - 22x + 15
Explanation: Distribute each term in (2x - 3): 2x(x^2 + 4x - 5) = 2x^3 + 8x^2 - 10x, and -3(x^2 + 4x - 5) = -3x^2 - 12x + 15. Combining like terms gives 2x^3 + (8x^2 - 3x^2) + (-10x - 12x) + 15 = 2x^3 + 5x^2 - 22x + 15.
5What is the end behavior of the graph of f(x) = -4x^5 + 3x^3 - 2x + 1?
A.As x -> -infinity, f(x) -> -infinity and as x -> infinity, f(x) -> infinity
B.As x -> -infinity, f(x) -> infinity and as x -> infinity, f(x) -> -infinity
C.As x -> -infinity, f(x) -> infinity and as x -> infinity, f(x) -> infinity
D.As x -> -infinity, f(x) -> -infinity and as x -> infinity, f(x) -> -infinity
Explanation: The leading term is -4x^5, which has an odd degree (5) and a negative leading coefficient (-4). For odd degree polynomials with a negative leading coefficient, as x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches positive infinity, and as x approaches positive infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity.
6What are the real zeros of the function f(x) = x^3 - 9x?
A.x = 0, 9
B.x = -3, 3
C.x = -3, 0, 3
D.x = 0, 3, 9
Explanation: Factor out x to get f(x) = x(x^2 - 9). Then factor the difference of squares to obtain f(x) = x(x - 3)(x + 3). Setting each factor to zero gives the real zeros x = 0, x = 3, and x = -3.
7Simplify the rational expression: (x^2 - 9) / (x^2 + 5x + 6) for all valid values of x.
A.(x - 3) / (x + 2)
B.(x + 3) / (x + 2)
C.(x - 3) / (x - 2)
D.-9 / (5x + 6)
Explanation: Factor both the numerator and denominator: numerator x^2 - 9 = (x - 3)(x + 3), and denominator x^2 + 5x + 6 = (x + 2)(x + 3). Canceling the common factor (x + 3) yields (x - 3) / (x + 2).
8Simplify the radical expression sqrt(72x^5), assuming x >= 0.
A.6x * sqrt(2x)
B.6x^2 * sqrt(2x)
C.36x^2 * sqrt(2x)
D.12x^2 * sqrt(x)
Explanation: Rewrite sqrt(72x^5) as sqrt(36 * 2 * x^4 * x). Taking the square root of 36 and x^4 gives 6x^2 outside the radical, leaving 2x inside: 6x^2 * sqrt(2x).
9Rewrite the expression (64x^6)^(2/3) in simplified exponential form.
A.8x^4
B.16x^3
C.16x^4
D.32x^4
Explanation: Apply the power of a product rule: 64^(2/3) * (x^6)^(2/3). 64^(1/3) = 4, so 4^2 = 16. For the variable term, (x^6)^(2/3) = x^(6 * 2/3) = x^4. The simplified expression is 16x^4.
10Solve the radical equation: sqrt(2x + 5) = 5.
A.x = 10
B.x = 15
C.x = 20
D.x = 25
Explanation: Square both sides to eliminate the radical: 2x + 5 = 25. Subtract 5 from both sides to get 2x = 20, then divide by 2 to find x = 10. Checking x = 10 gives sqrt(25) = 5, which is correct.
