RQ: : Relationships between Quantities

(Framing Text): : Extend the properties of exponents to rational exponents.

RQ.M.2HS.1: : Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents. (e.g., We define 5¹/³ to be the cube root of 5 because we want (5¹/³)³ = 5(¹/³)³ to hold, so (5¹/³)³ must equal 5.)

(Framing Text): : Perform arithmetic operations with complex numbers.

RQ.M.2HS.4: : Know there is a complex number i such that i² = −1, and every complex number has the form a + bi with a and b real.

(Framing Text): : Perform arithmetic operations on polynomials.

RQ.M.2HS.6: : Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract and multiply polynomials.

QF.M.2HS.8: : Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. (e.g., If the function h(n) gives the number of person-hours it takes to assemble n engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an appropriate domain for the function.)

QF.M.2HS.12: : Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). (e.g., Given a graph of one quadratic function and an algebraic expression for another, say which has the larger maximum).

QF.M.2HS.13.a: : Determine an explicit expression, a recursive process or steps for calculation from a context.

QF.M.2HS.13.b: : Combine standard function types using arithmetic operations. (e.g., Build a function that models the temperature of a cooling body by adding a constant function to a decaying exponential, and relate these functions to the model.

AP.M.2HS.30: : Understand the conditional probability of A given B as P(A and B)/P(B), and interpret independence of A and B as saying that the conditional probability of A given B is the same as the probability of A, and the conditional probability of B given A is the same as the probability of B.
