STANDARDS TO KNOW
2.0*
Understand and use the rules of exponents.
10.0* Add, subtract, multiply, and divide monomials and polynomials. Solve multistep problems, including word problems, by using
these techniques.
11.0
Apply basic factoring techniques to second-and simple third-degree polynomials. These techniques include finding a common
factor for all terms in a polynomial, recognizing the difference of two squares, and recognizing perfect squares of binomials.
14.0* Solve a quadratic equation by factoring or completing the square.
19.0* Know the quadratic formula and be familiar with its proof by completing the square.
20.0* Use the quadratic formula to find the roots of a second-degree polynomial and to solve quadratic equations.
21.0* Graph quadratic functions and know that their roots are the x-intercepts.
22.0
Use the quadratic formula or factoring techniques or both to determine whether the graph of a quadratic function will intersect
the x-axis in zero, one, or two points.
