Domain - Arithmetic with Polynomials and Rational Expressions
Cluster - Perform arithmetic operations on polynomials.
[MII.A-APR.A.1] - Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under certain operations.
- Integer
All positive and negative whole numbers, including zero. - Polynomial
The sum or difference of terms which have variables raised to positive integer powers and which have coefficients that may be real or complex. The following are all polynomials: 5x3 – 2x2 + x – 13, x2y3 + xy, and (1 + i)a2 + ib2.
[MIII.A-SSE.B.4] -
Derive the formula for the sum of a finite geometric series (when the common ratio is not 1), and use the formula to solve problems.* For example, calculate mortgage payments.
[MIII.A-APR.D.7] -
(+) Understand that rational expressions form a system analogous to the rational numbers, closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division by a nonzero rational expression; add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational expressions.
