Cluster:
Define, evaluate, and compare functions.

Standard:
Interpret the equation y = mx + b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear. For example, the function A = s^2 giving the area of a square as a function of its side length is not linear because its graph contains the points (1,1), (2,4) and (3,9), which are not on a straight line.

Cluster:
Use functions to model relationships between quantities.

Standard:
Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.

Cluster:
Use functions to model relationships between quantities.

Standard:
Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.

Cluster:
Create equations that describe numbers or relationships.

Standard:
Create equations and inequalities in one variable including ones with absolute value and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions. CA *

Cluster:
Create equations that describe numbers or relationships.

Standard:
Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales. *

Cluster:
Create equations that describe numbers or relationships.

Standard:
Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest, using the same reasoning as in solving equations. * [Include formulas involving quadratic terms.]

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.

Cluster:
Use complex numbers in polynomial identities and equations. [Quadratics with real coefficients]

Standard:
Solve quadratic equations with real coefficients that have complex solutions.

Cluster:
Use complex numbers in polynomial identities and equations. [Quadratics with real coefficients]

Standard:
(+) Extend polynomial identities to the complex numbers. For example, rewrite x^2 + 4 as (x + 2i)(x – 2i).
