Outcomes

A1.A-SSE.B.3.a

Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression. Factor a quadratic expression to reveal the zeros of the function it defines.

A1.A-APR.B.3

Identify zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are available, and use the zeros to construct a rough graph of the function defined by the polynomial. Focus on quadratic and cubic polynomials in which linear and quadratic factors are available.

A1.F-IF.B.5

Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes.

A1.F-IF.C.8.a

Write a function defined by an expression in different but equivalent forms to reveal and explain different properties of the function. Use the process of factoring and completing the square of a quadratic function to show zeros, extreme values, and symmetry of the graph, and interpret these in terms of a context.
