Algebra, Functions, Expresssions, & Equations

Expressions and Equations

Apply and extend previous understandings of arithmetic to algebraic expressions and equations: Solve one-variable equations and inequalities (including linear, quadratic, rational, and radical); use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions; interpret the structure of expressions; solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations; work with radicals and integer exponents; use scientific notation; solve systems of equations; perform arithmetic operations on polynomials; represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically; understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations.

Use Functions to Model Relationships

Use functions to model relationships between quantities: Define, evaluate, and compare functions; understand the concept of a function and use function notation; interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context; analyze functions using different representations; build new functions from existing functions; construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems; extend the domain of trigonometric functions using the unit circle; model periodic phenomena with trigonometric functions; prove and apply trigonometric identities.
