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:
Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.

Standard:
For exponential models, express as a logarithm the solution to ab^ct = d where a, c, and d are numbers and the base b is 2, 10, or e; evaluate the logarithm using technology. * [Logarithms as solutions for exponentials]

Cluster:
Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.

Standard:
Prove simple laws of logarithms. CA *

Cluster:
Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.

Standard:
Use the definition of logarithms to translate between logarithms in any base. CA *

Cluster:
Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.

Standard:
Understand and use the properties of logarithms to simplify logarithmic numeric expressions and to identify their approximate values. CA *

Cluster:
Understand and evaluate random processes underlying statistical experiments.

Standard:
Understand statistics as a process for making inferences about population parameters based on a random sample from that population. *

Cluster:
Understand and evaluate random processes underlying statistical experiments.

Standard:
Decide if a specified model is consistent with results from a given data-generating process, e.g., using simulation. For example, a model says a spinning coin falls heads up with probability 0.5. Would a result of 5 tails in a row cause you to question the model? *

Cluster:
Make inferences and justify conclusions from sample surveys, experiments, and observational studies.

Standard:
Recognize the purposes of and differences among sample surveys, experiments, and observational studies; explain how randomization relates to each. *
