High School: Algebra
HSA.CED.A1
Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions.
October 1, 2018HSA.CED.A2
Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.
October 1, 2018HSA.APR.A1
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.
October 1, 2018HSA.CED.A4
Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest, using the same reasoning as in solving equations. For example, rearrange Ohm’s law V = IR to highlight resistance R.
October 1, 2018HSA.REI.A1
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.
October 1, 2018HSA.REI.A2
Solve simple rational and radical equations in one variable, and give examples showing how extraneous solutions may arise.
October 1, 2018HSA.REI.B3
Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters.
October 1, 2018HSA.REI.B4a
Use the method of completing the square to transform any quadratic equation in x into an equation of the form (x – p)² = q that has the same solutions. Derive the quadratic formula from this form.
October 1, 2018HSA.REI.B4b
Solve quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for x² = 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.
