Cluster:
Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.

Standard:
Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions. * Prove that linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals, and that exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal intervals. *

Cluster:
Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.

Standard:
Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions. * Recognize situations in which one quantity changes at a constant rate per unit interval relative to another. *

Cluster:
Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.

Standard:
Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions. * Recognize situations in which a quantity grows or decays by a constant percent rate per unit interval relative to another. *

Cluster:
Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.

Standard:
Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table). *

Cluster:
Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.

Standard:
Observe using graphs and tables that a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds a quantity increasing linearly, quadratically, or (more generally) as a polynomial function. *

Cluster:
Interpret expressions for functions in terms of the situation they model.

Standard:
Interpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context. * [Linear and exponential of form f(x) = b^x + k]

Cluster:
Interpret expressions for functions in terms of the situation they model.

Standard:
Apply quadratic functions to physical problems, such as the motion of an object under the force of gravity. CA *

Cluster:
Calculate expected values and use them to solve problems.

Standard:
(+) Define a random variable for a quantity of interest by assigning a numerical value to each event in a sample space; graph the corresponding probability distribution using the same graphical displays as for data distributions. *

Cluster:
Calculate expected values and use them to solve problems.

Standard:
(+) Calculate the expected value of a random variable; interpret it as the mean of the probability distribution. *

Cluster:
Calculate expected values and use them to solve problems.

Standard:
(+) Develop a probability distribution for a random variable defined for a sample space in which theoretical probabilities can be calculated; find the expected value. For example, find the theoretical probability distribution for the number of correct answers obtained by guessing on all five questions of a multiple-choice test where each question has four choices, and find the expected grade under various grading schemes.*
