Domain - Reasoning with Equations and Inequalities
Cluster - Solve equations and inequalities in one variable.
[AI.A-REI.B.4.b] - Solve quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for x2 = 49), taking square roots, completing the square, the quadratic formula, and factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation. Recognize when the solutions of a quadratic equation results in non-real solutions and write them as a ± bi for real numbers a and b.
- Quadratic equation
An equation that includes only second degree polynomials. Some examples are y = 3x2 – 5x2 + 1, x2 + 5xy + y2 = 1, and 1.6a2 +5.9a – 3.14 = 0.
[AI.A-SSE.B.3.a] -
Factor a quadratic expression to reveal the zeros of the function it defines.
[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-REI.A.1] -
Explain each step in solving a simple equation as following from the equality of numbers asserted at the previous step, starting from the assumption that the original equation has a solution. Construct a viable argument to justify or refute a solution method.
[AI.A-REI.B.4.a] -
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.
[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.
