Domain - Reasoning with Equations and Inequalities
Cluster - Represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically.
[AI.A-REI.D.10] - Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line). Show that any point on the graph of an equation in two variables is a solution to the equation.
- Coordinate plane
A plane in which a point is represented using two coordinates that determine the precise location of the point. In the Cartesian plane, two perpendicular number lines are used to determine the locations of points. In the polar coordinate plane, points are determined by their distance along a ray through that point and the origin, and the angle that ray makes with a pre- determined horizontal axis. - Variable
A quantity that can change or that may take on different values. Refers to the letter or symbol representing such a quantity in an expression, equation, inequality, or matrix.
[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.11] -
Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions and make tables of values. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear and exponential functions.*
[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.
[GEO.G-GPE.A.1] -
Derive the equation of a circle of given center and radius using the Pythagorean Theorem; complete the square to find the center and radius of a circle given by an equation.
[PC.G-GPE.A.3] -
(+) Derive the equations of ellipses and hyperbolas given the foci, using the fact that the sum or difference of distances from the foci is constant.
[PC.G-GPE.A.3.a] -
(+) Use equations and graphs of conic sections to model real-world problems.*
