Cluster:
Use polynomial identities to solve problems.

Standard:
(+) Know and apply the Binomial Theorem for the expansion of (x + y)^n in powers of x and y for a positive integer n, where x and y are any numbers, with coefficients determined for example by Pascal’s Triangle.

Footnote:
The Binomial Theorem can be proved by mathematical induction or by a combinatorial argument.

Rewrite rational expressions. [Linear and quadratic denominators]

Standard:
Rewrite simple rational expressions in different forms; write a(x)/b(x) in the form q(x) + r(x)/b(x), where a(x), b(x), q(x), and r(x) are polynomials with the degree of r(x) less than the degree of b(x), using inspection, long division, or, for the more complicated examples, a computer algebra system.

Rewrite rational expressions. [Linear and quadratic denominators]

Standard:
