Cluster:
Reason quantitatively and use units to solve problems. [Foundation for work with expressions, equations, and functions]

Standard:
Use units as a way to understand problems and to guide the solution of multi-step problems; choose and interpret units consistently in formulas; choose and interpret the scale and the origin in graphs and data displays. *

Cluster:
Solve equations and inequalities in one variable. [Quadratics with real coefficients]

Standard:
Solve quadratic equations in one variable. Use the method of completing the square to transform any quadratic equation in x into an equation of the form (x – p)^2 = q that has the same solutions. Derive the quadratic formula from this form.

Cluster:
Solve equations and inequalities in one variable. [Quadratics with real coefficients]

Standard:
Solve quadratic equations in one variable. Solve quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for x^2 = 49), taking square roots, completing the square, the quadratic formula, and factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation. Recognize when the quadratic formula gives complex solutions and write them as a ± bi for real numbers a and b.

Cluster:
Solve systems of equations. [Linear-quadratic systems]

Standard:
Solve a simple system consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation in two variables algebraically and graphically. For example, find the points of intersection between the line y = –3x and the circle x^2 + y^2 = 3.

Cluster:
Perform arithmetic operations with complex numbers. [i^2 as highest power of i]

Standard:
Know there is a complex number i such that i^2 = −1, and every complex number has the form a + bi with a and b real.

Cluster:
Perform arithmetic operations with complex numbers. [i^2 as highest power of i]

Standard:
Use the relation i^2 = −1 and the commutative, associative, and distributive properties to add, subtract, and multiply complex numbers.
