Outcomes

A.CED.1c

Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations and inequalities arising from linear, quadratic, simple rational, and exponential functions.Extend to include more complicated function situations with the option to solve with technology.

A.CED.3a

Represent constraints by equations or inequalities, and by systems of equations and/or inequalities, and interpret solutions as viable or non-viable options in a modeling context. For example, represent inequalities describing nutritional and cost constraints on combinations of different foods.. While functions will often be linear, exponential, or quadratic, the types of problems should draw from more complicated situations.

A.CED.4d

Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest, using the same reasoning as in solving equations. While functions will often be linear, exponential, or quadratic, the types of problems should draw from more complicated situations.

A.REI.2

Solve simple rational and radical equations in one variable, and give examples showing how extraneous solutions may arise.
