    A-SSE.3c   Use the properties of exponents to transform expressions for exponential functions.
    A-APR.1   Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.
    A-CED.1   Create equations and inequalities in one variable including ones with absolute value and use them to solve problems.
    A-CED.2   Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.

    A-CED.4   Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest, using the same reasoning as in solving equations.
    A-REI.1   Explain each step in solving a simple equation as following from the equality of numbers asserted at the previous step, starting from the assumption that the original equation has a solution. Construct a viable argument to justify a solution method.

    A-REI.4b   Solve quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for x 2 = 49), taking square roots, completing the square, the quadratic formula, and factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation. Recognize when the quadratic formula gives complex solutions and write them as a±bi for real numbers a and b.
    A-REI.5   Prove that, given a system of two equations in two variables, replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other produces a system with the same solutions.

    A-REI.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, make tables of values, or find successive approximations. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
    A-REI.12   Graph the solutions to 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 to a system of linear inequalities in two variables as the intersection of the corresponding half-planes.
    F-IF.1   Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If f is a function and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the input x. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x).
    F-IF.2   Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, and interpret statements that use function notation in terms of a context.

    F-IF.8b   Use the properties of exponents to interpret expressions for exponential functions.
    F-IF.9   Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions).
    F-BF.1a   Determine an explicit expression, a recursive process, or steps for calculation from a context.
    F-BF.1b   Combine standard function types using arithmetic operations.
    F-BF.2   Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively and with an explicit formula, use them to model situations, and translate between the two forms.
    F-BF.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. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology.
    F-BF.4a   Find inverse functions: Solve an equation of the form f(x) = c for a simple function f that has an inverse and write an expression for the inverse.
    F-LE.1a   Prove that linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals, and that exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal intervals.
    F-LE.1b   Recognize situations in which one quantity changes at a constant rate per unit interval relative to another.
    F-LE.1c   Recognize situations in which a quantity grows or decays by a constant percent rate per unit interval relative to another.

    F-LE.5   Interpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context.
    F-LE.6   Apply quadratic functions to physical problems, such as the motion of an object under the force of gravity.
    S-ID.1   Represent data with plots on the real number line (dot plots, histograms, and box plots).
    S-ID.2   Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center (median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) of two or more different data sets.
    S-ID.3   Interpret differences in shape, center, and spread in the context of the data sets, accounting for possible effects of extreme data points (outliers).
    S-ID.5   Summarize categorical data for two categories in two-way frequency tables. Interpret relative frequencies in the context of the data (including joint, marginal, and conditional relative frequencies). Recognize possible associations and trends in the data.
    S-ID.6a   Fit a function to the data; use functions fitted to data to solve problems in the context of the data.
