Domain - Creating Equations
Cluster - Create equations that describe numbers or relationships.
[AI.A-CED.A.3] - Represent constraints by linear equations or inequalities, and by systems of linear equations and/or inequalities, and interpret solutions as viable or non-viable options in a modeling context.* For example, represent inequalities describing nutritional and cost constraints on combinations of different foods.
- Linear equation
Any equation that can be written in the form Ax + By + C = 0 where A and B cannot both be 0. The graph of such an equation is a line. - Model
A mathematical representation (e.g., number, graph, matrix, equation(s), geometric figure) for real-world or mathematical objects, properties, actions, or relationships.
[AI.A-SSE.A.1] -
Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context.*
[AI.A-SSE.A.1.a] -
Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients.
[AI.A-SSE.A.1.b] -
Interpret complicated expressions by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity. For example, interpret P(1 + r)t as the product of P and a factor not depending on P.
[AI.A-CED.A.1] -
Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. (Include equations arising from linear, quadratic, and exponential functions with integer exponents.)*
[AI.A-CED.A.2] -
Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.*
[AI.A-REI.C.6] -
Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with graphs), focusing on pairs of linear equations in two variables.
[AI.A-REI.C.7] -
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 x2 + y2 = 3.
[AI.A-REI.D.12] -
Graph the solutions of a linear inequality in two variables as a half-plane (excluding the boundary in the case of a strict inequality), and graph the solution set of a system of linear inequalities in two variables as the intersection of the corresponding half-planes.
[HS.ETS.1.3] -
Evaluate a solution to a complex real-world problem based on prioritized criteria and trade-offs that account for a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, aesthetics, and maintenance, as well as social, cultural, and environmental impacts.*
[HS.ETS.1.4] -
Use a computer simulation to model the impact of a proposed solution to a complex real-world problem that has numerous criteria and constraints on the interactions within and between systems relevant to the problem.*
[HS.ETS.2.3] -
Compare the costs and benefits of custom versus mass production based on qualities of the desired product, the cost of each unit to produce, and the number of units needed.
