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).

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

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

Cluster:
Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context. [Emphasize selection of appropriate models.]

Standard:
For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity. *

Cluster:
Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context. [Include rational, square root and cube root; emphasize selection of appropriate models.]

Standard:
Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. *

Standard:
Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. For example, if the function h gives the number of person-hours it takes to assemble n engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an appropriate domain for the function.*

Standard:
Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a specified interval. Estimate the rate of change from a graph. *
