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:
Extend the domain of trigonometric functions using the unit circle.

Standard:
Understand radian measure of an angle as the length of the arc on the unit circle subtended by the angle.

Cluster:
Extend the domain of trigonometric functions using the unit circle.

Standard:
Explain how the unit circle in the coordinate plane enables the extension of trigonometric functions to all real numbers, interpreted as radian measures of angles traversed counterclockwise around the unit circle.

Cluster:
Extend the domain of trigonometric functions using the unit circle.

Standard:
Graph all 6 basic trigonometric functions. CA

Cluster:
Model periodic phenomena with trigonometric functions.

Standard:
Choose trigonometric functions to model periodic phenomena with specified amplitude, frequency, and midline. *

Cluster:
Prove and apply trigonometric identities.

Standard:
Prove the Pythagorean identity sin^2(θ ) + cos^2(θ ) = 1 and use it to find sin(θ ), cos(θ ), or tan(θ ) given sin(θ ), cos(θ ), or tan(θ ) and the quadrant of the angle.

Cluster:
Perform arithmetic operations with complex numbers.

Standard:
Know there is a complex number i such that i^2 = −1, and every complex number has the form a + bi with a and b real.

Cluster:
Perform arithmetic operations with complex numbers.

Standard:
Use the relation i^2 = −1 and the commutative, associative, and distributive properties to add, subtract, and multiply complex numbers.
