Outcomes

A1.A.CED.A.1

Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems in a real-world context.*

A1.A.CED.A.2

Create equations in two variables to represent relationships between quantities and use them to solve problems in a real-world context. Graph equations with two variables on coordinate axes with labels and scales, and use the graphs to make predictions.*

A1.A.CED.A.3

Create individual and systems of equations and/or inequalities to represent constraints in a contextual situation, and interpret solutions as viable or non-viable.*

A1.A.CED.A.4

Rearrange formulas to isolate a quantity of interest using algebraic reasoning.

A1.A.REI.A.1

Understand solving equations as a process of reasoning and explain the reasoning. Construct a viable argument to justify a solution method.

A1.A.REI.B.3

Solve quadratic equations and inequalities in one variable.

A1.A.REI.B.3.A

Solve quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for x^2 = 49), taking square roots, knowing and applying the quadratic formula, and factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation. Recognize when a quadratic equation has solutions that are not real numbers.
