                  Standard A.REI.3
                  Solve equations and inequalities in one variable.

                  1. Solve one-variable equations and literal equations to highlight a variable of interest.
                  2. Solve compound inequalities in one variable, including absolute value inequalities.
                  3. Solve simple exponential equations that rely only on application of the laws of exponents (limit solving exponential equations to those that can be solved without logarithms). For example, 5x = 125 or 2x = 1/16.
                  Solve systems of equations. Build on student experiences graphing and solving systems of linear equations from middle school. Include cases where the two equations describe the same line - yielding infinitely many solutions - and cases where two equations describe parallel lines - yielding no solution; connect to GPE.5, which requires students to prove the slope criteria for parallel lines (Standards A.REI.5-6)

                      Standard A.REI.10
                      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).

                        Standard 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.

                            Strand: FUNCTIONS - Interpreting Linear and Exponential Functions (F.IF)
                            Understand the concept of a linear or exponential function and use function notation. Recognize arithmetic and geometric sequences as examples of linear and exponential functions (Standards F.IF.1–3).

                            Standard F.IF.1
                            Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If f is a function and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the input x. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x).

                              Standard F.IF.2
                              Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, and interpret statements that use function notation in terms of a context.

                                Standard F.IF.3
                                Recognize that sequences are functions, sometimes defined recursively, whose domain is a subset of the integers. Emphasize arithmetic and geometric sequences as examples of linear and exponential functions. For example, the Fibonacci sequence is defined recursively by f(0) = f(1) = 1, f(n+1) = f(n) + f(n-1) for n ≥ 1.

                                  nterpret linear or exponential functions that arise in applications in terms of a context (Standards F.IF.4–6).

                                  Standard F.IF.4
                                  For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; and end behavior.

                                    Standard F.IF.5
                                    Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. For example, 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.

                                      Standard F.IF.6
                                      Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a specified interval. Estimate the rate of change from a graph.

                                        Analyze linear or exponential functions using different representations (Standards F.IF.7, 9).

                                        Standard F.IF.7
                                        Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases.

                                        1. Graph linear functions and show intercepts.
                                        2. Graph exponential functions, showing intercepts and end behavior.

                                        Standard F.IF.9
                                        Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, compare the growth of two linear functions, or two exponential functions such as y=3n and y=100•2n.

                                          Write a function that describes a relationship between two quantities.

                                          1. Determine an explicit expression, a recursive process, or steps for calculation from a context.
                                          2. Combine standard function types using arithmetic operations. For example, 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.

                                          Standard F.BF.2
                                          Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively and with an explicit formula, use them to model situations, and translate between the two forms. Limit to linear and exponential functions. Connect arithmetic sequences to linear functions and geometric sequences to exponential functions.

                                            Build new functions from existing functions (Standard F.BF.3).

Relate the vertical translation of a linear function to its y-intercept. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology.

                                                          Develop definitions of rotations, reflections, and translations in terms of angles, circles, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, and line segments.

                                                            Given a geometric figure and a rotation, reflection, or translation, draw the transformed figure using, for example, graph paper, tracing paper, or geometry software. Specify a sequence of transformations that will carry a given figure onto another. Point out the basis of rigid motions in geometric concepts, for example, translations move points a specified distance along a line parallel to a specified line; rotations move objects along a circular arc with a specified center through a specified angle.

                                                              Understand congruence in terms of rigid motions. Rigid motions are at the foundation of the definition of congruence. Reason from the basic properties of rigid motions (that they preserve distance and angle), which are assumed without proof. Rigid motions and their assumed properties can be used to establish the usual triangle congruence criteria, which can then be used to prove other theorems (Standards G.CO.6–8).

                                                                                                Add and subtract vectors.

                                                                                                1. Add vectors end-to-end, component-wise, and by the parallelogram rule. Understand that the magnitude of a sum of two vectors is typically not the sum of the magnitudes.
                                                                                                2. Given two vectors in magnitude and direction form, determine the magnitude and direction of their sum.
                                                                                                3. Understand vector subtraction v - w as v + (-w), where -w is the additive inverse of w, with the same magnitude as w and pointing in the opposite direction. Represent vector subtraction graphically by connecting the tips in the appropriate order, and perform vector subtraction component-wise.

                                                                                                HONORS - Standard N.VM.5
                                                                                                Multiply a vector by a scalar.

                                                                                                1. Represent scalar multiplication graphically by scaling vectors and possibly reversing their direction; perform scalar multiplication component-wise, e.g., as c(vx , vy ) = (cvx , cry).
                                                                                                2. Compute the magnitude of a scalar multiple cv using ||cv|| = |c|v. Compute the direction of cv knowing that when |c|v ≠ 0, the direction of cv is either along v (for c > 0) or against vs (for c < 0).
                                                                                                Perform operations on matrices and use matrices in applications (Standards N.VM.6–13).

                                                                                                  HONORS - Standard N.VM.7

                                                                                                    HONORS - Standard N.VM.8
                                                                                                    Add, subtract, and multiply matrices of appropriate dimensions.

                                                                                                      HONORS - Standard N.VM.9

                                                                                                        HONORS - Standard N.VM.10
                                                                                                        Understand that the zero and identity matrices play a role in matrix addition and multiplication similar to the role of 0 and 1 in the real numbers. The determinant of a square matrix is nonzero if and only if the matrix has a multiplicative inverse.

                                                                                                          HONORS - Standard N.VM.11
