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:
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. *

Standard:
(+) Prove the Laws of Sines and Cosines and use them to solve problems.

Cluster:
Apply trigonometry to general triangles.

Standard:
(+) Understand and apply the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines to find unknown measurements in right and non-right triangles (e.g., surveying problems, resultant forces).

Cluster:
Apply trigonometry to general triangles.

Standard:
(+) Derive the formula A = 1/2 ab sin(C) for the area of a triangle by drawing an auxiliary line from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side.

Cluster:
Use complex numbers in polynomial identities and equations. [Polynomials with real coefficients; apply N.CN.9 to higher degree polynomials.]

Standard:
(+) Extend polynomial identities to the complex numbers.
