Domain - Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Models
Cluster - Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.
[AI.F-LE.A.1.c] - Recognize situations in which a quantity grows or decays by a constant percent rate per unit interval relative to another.*
[AI.F-BF.A.2] -
Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively and with an explicit formula them to model situations, and translate between the two forms.*
[AI.F-LE.A.1.a] -
Prove that linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals, and that exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal intervals.*
[AI.F-LE.A.1.b] -
Recognize situations in which one quantity changes at a constant rate per unit interval relative to another.*
[HS.PHY.1.8] -
Develop a model to illustrate the energy released or absorbed during the processes of fission, fusion, and radioactive decay.
Clarification Statements: Examples of models include simple qualitative models, such as pictures or diagrams. Types of radioactive decay include alpha, beta, and gamma. State Assessment Boundary: Quantitative calculations of energy released or absorbed are not expected in state assessment.
[HS.PHY.2.1] -
Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion is a mathematical model describing change in motion (the acceleration) of objects when acted on by a net force. Clarification Statements: Examples of data could include tables or graphs of position or velocity as a function of time for objects subject to a net unbalanced force, such as a falling object, an object rolling down a ramp, and a moving object being pulled by a constant force. Forces can include contact forces, including friction, and forces acting at a distance, such as gravity and magnetic forces.
State Assessment Boundary: Variable forces are not expected in state assessment.
