Standard Identifier: A-SSE.3.c
Content Area: Mathematics
Grade Range: 8–12
Domain: Seeing Structure in Expressions
Discipline: Math II
Conceptual Category: Algebra

Cluster:
Write expressions in equivalent forms to solve problems. [Quadratic and exponential]

Standard:
Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.* Use the properties of exponents to transform expressions for exponential functions. For example, the expression 1.15^t can be rewritten as (1.15^1/12)^12t ≈ 1.012^12t to reveal the approximate equivalent monthly interest rate if the annual rate is 15%.*
