Domain - Seeing Structure in Expressions
Cluster - Interpret the structure of linear, quadratic, and exponential expressions with integer exponents.
[AI.A-SSE.A.1.a] - Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients.
- Coefficient
Any of the factors of a product considered in relation to a specific factor. - Expression
A mathematical phrase that combines operations, numbers, and/or variables (e.g., 32 ÷ a).
[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-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.
[AI.A-CED.A.4] -
Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest using the same reasoning as in solving equations (Properties of equality).* For example, rearrange Ohm’s law R=V2/P to solve for voltage, V. Manipulate variables in formulas used in financial contexts such as for simple interest, I=Prt.
[AI.F-BF.B.3] -
Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, kf(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Include linear, quadratic, exponential, and absolute value functions. Utilize technology to experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph.
[AI.F-LE.B.5] -
Interpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function (of the form f(x) = bx + k) in terms of a context.*
