Cluster:
Perform arithmetic operations on polynomials. [Linear and quadratic]

Standard:
Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.

Cluster:
Build a function that models a relationship between two quantities. [For F.BF.1, 2, linear, exponential, and quadratic]

Standard:
Write a function that describes a relationship between two quantities. * Determine an explicit expression, a recursive process, or steps for calculation from a context. *

Cluster:
Build a function that models a relationship between two quantities. [For F.BF.1, 2, linear, exponential, and quadratic]

Standard:
Write a function that describes a relationship between two quantities. * 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. *

Cluster:

Standard:
Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively and with an explicit formula, use them to model situations, and translate between the two forms. *

Cluster:
Build new functions from existing functions. [Linear, exponential, quadratic, and absolute value; for F.BF.4a, linear only]

Standard:
Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, kf(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology. Include recognizing even and odd functions from their graphs and algebraic expressions for them.

Cluster:
Build new functions from existing functions. [Linear, exponential, quadratic, and absolute value; for F.BF.4a, linear only]

Standard:
Find inverse functions. Solve an equation of the form f(x) = c for a simple function f that has an inverse and write an expression for the inverse.

Cluster:
Perform arithmetic operations on polynomials. [Beyond quadratic]

Standard:
Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.

Cluster:
Understand the relationship between zeros and factors of polynomials.

Standard:
Know and apply the Remainder Theorem: For a polynomial p(x) and a number a, the remainder on division by x – a is p(a), so p(a) = 0 if and only if (x – a) is a factor of p(x).

Cluster:
Understand the relationship between zeros and factors of polynomials.

Standard:
Identify zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are available, and use the zeros to construct a rough graph of the function defined by the polynomial.

Cluster:
Use polynomial identities to solve problems.

Standard:
Prove polynomial identities and use them to describe numerical relationships. For example, the polynomial identity (x^2 + y^2)^2= (x^2 – y^2)^2 + (2xy)^2 can be used to generate Pythagorean triples.
