A.SSE: : Seeing Structure in Expressions

1.1: : Interpret the structure of expressions.

A.SSE.1: : Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context.

A.SSE.1a: : Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients.

A.SSE.1b: : Interpret complicated expressions by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity. For example, interpret P(1 + r)^n as the product of P and (1 + r)^n.

A.SSE.2: : Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it.

1.2: : Write expressions in equivalent forms to solve problems.

A.SSE.3: : Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.

A.SSE.3a: : Factor a quadratic expression to reveal the zeros of the function it defines.

A.SSE.3b: : Complete the square in a quadratic expression to reveal the maximum or minimum value of the function it defines.

A.SSE.3c: : Use the properties of exponents to transform expressions for exponential functions.

A.APR: : Arithmetic with Polynomials and Rational Expressions

2.1: : Perform arithmetic operations on polynomials.

A.APR.1: : Add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.

A.APR.2: : Factor higher degree polynomials; identifying that some polynomials are prime.

A.APR.3: : Know and apply the Remainder Theorem: For a polynomial p(x) and a number c, the remainder on division by (x - c) is p(c), so p(c) = 0 if and only if (x - c) is a factor of p(x).

2.2: : Use polynomial identities to solve problems.

A.APR.4: : Generate polynomial identities from a pattern.

A.APR.5: : Know and apply the Binomial Theorem for the expansion of (x + y)^n in powers of x and y for a positive integer n, where x and y are any numbers, with coefficients determined for example by Pascal’s Triangle. The Binomial Theorem can be proven by mathematical induction or by a combinatorial argument.

A.CED: : Creating Equations

3.1: : Create equations that describe numbers or relationships.

A.CED.1: : Apply and extend previous understanding to create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems.

A.CED.2: : Apply and extend previous understanding to create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.

A.CED.3: : Represent constraints by equations or inequalities, and by systems of equations and/or inequalities, and interpret solutions as viable or non-viable options in a modeling context.

A.CED.4: : Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest, using the same reasoning as in solving equations.

A.REI: : Reasoning with Equations and Inequalities

4.1: : Understand solving equations as a process of reasoning and explain the reasoning.

A.REI.1: : Explain each step in solving a simple equation as following from the equality of numbers asserted at the previous step, starting from the assumption that the original equation has a solution. Construct a viable argument to justify a solution method.

4.2: : Solve equations and inequalities in one variable.

A.REI.2: : Apply and extend previous understanding to solve equations, inequalities, and compound inequalities in one variable, including literal equations and inequalities.

A.REI.3: : Solve equations in one variable and give examples showing how extraneous solutions may arise.

A.REI.3a: : Solve rational, absolute value and square root equations.

A.REI.4: : Solve radical and rational exponent equations and inequalities in one variable, and give examples showing how extraneous solutions may arise.

A.REI.5: : Solve quadratic equations and inequalities.

A.REI.5a: : Solve quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for x² = 49), taking square roots, the quadratic formula and factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation. Recognize when the quadratic formula gives no real solutions.

A.REI.5b: : Solve quadratic equations with complex solutions written in the form a ± bi for real numbers a and b.

A.REI.5c: : Use the method of completing the square to transform and solve any quadratic equation in x into an equation of the form (x - p)² = q that has the same solutions.

4.3: : Solve systems of equations.

A.REI.6: : Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations.

A.REI.6a: : Understand that solutions to a system of two linear equations in two variables correspond to points of intersection of their graphs, because points of intersection satisfy both equations simultaneously.

A.REI.6c: : Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables.

A.REI.7: : Represent a system of linear equations as a single matrix equation and solve (incorporating technology) for matrices of dimension 3 × 3 or greater.

4.4: : Represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically.

A.REI.8: : Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).

A.REI.9: : Solve an equation f(x) = g(x) by graphing y = f(x) and y = g(x) and finding the x-value of the intersection point. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions.

A.REI.10: : Graph the solutions to a linear inequality in two variables as a half-plane (excluding the boundary in the case of a strict inequality), and graph the solution set to a system of linear inequalities in two variables as the intersection of the corresponding half-planes.
