Cluster:
Define trigonometric ratios and solve problems involving right triangles.

Standard:
Use trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right triangles in applied problems. *

Cluster:
Define trigonometric ratios and solve problems involving right triangles.

Standard:
Derive and use the trigonometric ratios for special right triangles (30°, 60°, 90°and 45°, 45°, 90°). CA

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:
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:
Interpret the structure of expressions. [Polynomial and rational]

Standard:
Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context. * Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients. *

Cluster:
Interpret the structure of expressions. [Polynomial and rational]

Standard:
Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context. * Interpret complicated expressions by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity. *

Cluster:
Interpret the structure of expressions. [Polynomial and rational]

Standard:
Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it.

Cluster:
Write expressions in equivalent forms to solve problems.

Standard:
Derive the formula for the sum of a finite geometric series (when the common ratio is not 1), and use the formula to solve problems. For example, calculate mortgage payments.*

Cluster:
Apply trigonometry to general triangles.

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