Cluster:
Use the rules of probability to compute probabilities of compound events in a uniform probability model.

Standard:
(+) Use permutations and combinations to compute probabilities of compound events and solve problems. *

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.

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.

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.

Cluster:
Use polynomial identities to solve problems.

Standard:
(+) Know and apply the Binomial Theorem for the expansion of (x + y)^n in powers of x and y for a positive integer n, where x and y are any numbers, with coefficients determined for example by Pascal’s Triangle.

Footnote:
The Binomial Theorem can be proved by mathematical induction or by a combinatorial argument.
