    Reasoning with Equations & Inequalities
  • Common Core Standard:CCSS.Math.Content.HSA.REI.B.4.A
  • Description: Solve quadratic equations in one variable. 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.

  • Concept:

    Reasoning with Equations & Inequalities
  • Common Core Standard:CCSS.Math.Content.HSA.REI.B.4.B
  • Description: Solve quadratic equations in one variable. Solve quadratic equations by inspection, 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.

  • Concept:

    Reasoning with Equations & Inequalities
  • Common Core Standard:CCSS.Math.Content.HSA.REI.D.11
  • Description: Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions approximately (e.g. using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values) or find successive approximations. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
