How much more difficult is College Algebra to Intermediate Algebra

I took a “hybrid” course of college algebra and trigonometry last fall, which is just labeled as pre-calculus. I hadn’t taken Algebra II since junior year of high school, so I was just barely 16 when I last saw it and was sitting in a college pre-calculus course at 19. College Algebra you probably have a lot more room to work with since I don’t think they throw in some trigonometry in there. I had seen everything in a college algebra part of the class that I had seen in Algebra II in high school except for conics. You should be very well-off.



A few examples of what we didn’t do; Matrices, Logarithms, Linear equations in 3 variables, Quadratic Functions, and Sequences



You’ll need all these, though. I hated matrices and I’m taking Linear Algebra THIS fall. ■■■.
