Cluster:
Rewrite rational expressions. [Linear and quadratic denominators]

Standard:
(+) Understand that rational expressions form a system analogous to the rational numbers, closed under addition, subtraction multiplication, and division by a nonzero rational expression; add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational expressions.

Cluster:
Represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically. [Combine polynomial, rational, radical, absolute value, and exponential functions.]

Standard:
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. *

Cluster:
Understand solving equations as a process of reasoning and explain the reasoning. [Simple radical and rational]

Standard:
Solve simple rational and radical equations in one variable, and give examples showing how extraneous solutions may arise.

Cluster:
Solve equations and inequalities in one variable.

Standard:
Solve one-variable equations and inequalities involving absolute value, graphing the solutions and interpreting them in context. CA

Cluster:
Apply geometric concepts in modeling situations.

Standard:
Use geometric shapes, their measures, and their properties to describe objects (e.g., modeling a tree trunk or a human torso as a cylinder). *

Cluster:
Apply geometric concepts in modeling situations.

Standard:
Apply concepts of density based on area and volume in modeling situations (e.g., persons per square mile, BTUs per cubic foot). *

Cluster:
Apply geometric concepts in modeling situations.

Standard:
Apply geometric methods to solve design problems (e.g., designing an object or structure to satisfy physical constraints or minimize cost; working with typographic grid systems based on ratios). *
