Outcomes

M2.A.APR.B.2

Know and apply the Factor Theorem: For a polynomial p(x) and a number a, p(a) = 0 if and only if (x – a) is a factor of p(x).

M2.A.CED.A.1

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

M2.A.REI.B.2

Solve quadratic equations and inequalities in one variable.

M2.A.REI.B.2.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.

M2.MP1

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

M2.MP3

Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

M2.MP6

Attend to precision.

M2.MP7

Look for and make use of structure.

M2.MP8

Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
