Standard Alignments:
(10) Number and algebraic methods. The student applies the mathematical process standards and algebraic methods to rewrite in equivalent forms and perform operations on polynomial expressions.
A1.10.A(A) Add and subtract polynomials of degree one and degree two
A1.10.B(B) Multiply polynomials of degree one and degree two
A1.10.C(C) Determine the quotient of a polynomial of degree one and polynomial of degree two when divided by a polynomial of degree one and polynomial of degree two when the degree of the divisor does not exceed the degree of the dividend
A1.10.D(D) Rewrite polynomial expressions of degree one and degree two in equivalent forms using the distributive property
A1.10.E(E) Factor, if possible, trinomials with real factors in the form ax2 + bx + c, including perfect square trinomials of degree two
A1.10.F(F) Decide if a binomial can be written as the difference of two squares and, if possible, use the structure of a difference of two squares to rewrite the binomial.
A1.11(11) Number and algebraic methods. The student applies the mathematical process standards and algebraic methods to rewrite algebraic expressions into equivalent forms.
A1.11.A(A) Simplify numerical radical expressions involving square roots

HSF.IF.8 Write a function defined by an expression in different but equivalent forms to reveal and explain different properties of the function.
HSF.IF.8.AHSF.IF.8.A Use the process of factoring and completing the square in a quadratic function to show zeros, extreme values, and symmetry of the graph, and interpret these in terms of a context.
HSF.IF.8.BHSF.IF.8.B Use the properties of exponents to interpret expressions for exponential functions. For example, identify percent rate of change in functions such as y = (1.02)ᵗ, y = (0.97)ᵗ, y = (1.01)12ᵗ, y = (1.2)ᵗ/10, and classify them as representing exponential growth or decay.
