Answer 1

Although every algebra course is different, everything will be basically some variation of the topics you listed. Things such as exponential growth and decay will possibly be covered and is not listed above, however, this is usually taught with the exponential and logarithmic functions which does appear on your list.

Answer 2

Depending on where you live, you might search the web for the "standards" for Algebra 2 in your area. In the USA, standards vary from state to state.



Your state department of education would be a good place to start.
