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

Standard:
Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions. * Prove that linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals, and that exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal intervals. *

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

Standard:
Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions. * Recognize situations in which one quantity changes at a constant rate per unit interval relative to another. *

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

Standard:
Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions. * Recognize situations in which a quantity grows or decays by a constant percent rate per unit interval relative to another. *

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

Standard:
Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table). *

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

Standard:
Observe using graphs and tables that a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds a quantity increasing linearly, quadratically, or (more generally) as a polynomial function. *

Cluster:
Interpret expressions for functions in terms of the situation they model.

Standard:
Interpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context. * [Linear and exponential of form f(x) = b^x + k]

Cluster:
Interpret expressions for functions in terms of the situation they model.

Standard:
Apply quadratic functions to physical problems, such as the motion of an object under the force of gravity. CA *

Cluster:
Extend the properties of exponents to rational exponents.

Standard:
Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents. For example, we define 5^1/3 to be the cube root of 5 because we want (5^1/3)^3 = 5(^1/3)^3 to hold, so (5^1/3)^3 must equal 5.

Cluster:
Extend the properties of exponents to rational exponents.

Standard:
Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using the properties of exponents.

Cluster:
Use properties of rational and irrational numbers.

Standard:
Explain why the sum or product of two rational numbers is rational; that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational; and that the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is irrational.
