MAT-HS Targeted Standards (A) Concept: Algebra (REI) Domain: Reasoning with Equations and Inequalities Cluster: Represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically
MAT-HS.A-REI.11 Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values, or find successive approximations. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Note: In Algebra I, only linear and exponential will be the focus.

3.0
The student can:
explain why the intersection of y = f(x) and y = g(x) is the solution of f(x) = g(x) for any linear or exponential functions.
use technology and tables to graph the equations and find their points of intersection
use tables of values or successive approximations to find solutions
The student exhibits no major errors or omissions.
Use a graphing calculator to find and justify the approximate solution(s) to the system below.
f(x)=x+4 g(x)=4-x
Solutions: x= 0
f(0) = 4 and g(0)=4
Given the following system, for what x value(s), is f(x) = g(x)?
Solutions: x=1
Because f(1) = 5 and g(1) = 5
