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:
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.

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

Standard:
(+) Know the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra; show that it is true for quadratic polynomials.

Cluster:
Use probability to evaluate outcomes of decisions. [Include more complex situations.]

Standard:
(+) Use probabilities to make fair decisions (e.g., drawing by lots, using a random number generator). *

Cluster:
Use probability to evaluate outcomes of decisions. [Include more complex situations.]

Standard:
(+) Analyze decisions and strategies using probability concepts (e.g., product testing, medical testing, pulling a hockey goalie at the end of a game). *
