Domain: The Real Number System| Cluster: Extend the properties of exponents to rational exponents | Test Questions |
| N.RN.1 Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents. For example, we define 51/3 to be the cube root of 5 because we want (51/3)3 = 5(1/3)3 to hold, so (51/3)3 must equal 5. | 10, 11, 12, 13 |
| N.RN.2 Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using the properties of exponents. | 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 |
Domain: Seeing Structure in Expressions
| Cluster: Write expressions in equivalent forms to solve problems. | Test Questions |
| A.SSE.3 Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.★ a. Factor a quadratic expression to reveal the zeros of the function it defines. b. Complete the square in a quadratic expression to reveal the maximum or minimum value of the function it defines. c. Use the properties of exponents to transform expressions for exponential functions. For example the expression 1.15t can be rewritten as (1.151/12)12t≈ 1.01212t to reveal the approximate equivalent monthly interest rate if the annual rate is 15%. |

Domain: Arithmetic with Polynomial and Rational Expressions
| Cluster: Perform arithmetic operations on polynomials. | Test Questions |
| A.APR.1 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. | 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 |
Domain: Reasoning with Equations and Inequalities
| Cluster: Solve equations and inequalities in one variable. | Test Questions |
| A.REI.4 Solve quadratic equations in one variable. a. 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. b. 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. |

Domain: Interpreting Functions
| Cluster: Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of a context. |
Test Questions |
| F.IF.4 For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity.★ | 50, 51, 52, 56, 57, 58 |
| F.IF.5 Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. For example, if the function h(n) gives the number of person-hours it takes to assemble n engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an appropriate domain for the function.★ | 23, 59, 64, Free Response 4c |
| Cluster: Analyze functions using different representations. |
Test Questions |
| F.IF.7 Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases.★ a. Graph linear and quadratic functions and show intercepts, maxima, and minima. b. Graph square root, cube root, and piecewise-defined (Algebra II) functions, including step (Algebra II) functions and absolute value functions. e. Graph exponential and logarithmic (Algebra II) functions, showing intercepts and end behavior, and trigonometric (Algebra II) functions, showing period, midline, and amplitude. |
43, 44, 45, 47 |
| F.IF.8 Write a function defined by an expression in different but equivalent forms to reveal and explain different properties of the function. a. Use the process of factoring and completing the square in a quadratic function to show zeros, extreme values, and symmetry of the graph, and interpret these in terms of a context. b. Use the properties of exponents to interpret expressions for exponential functions. For example, identify percent rate of change in functions such as y = (1.02)t, y = (0.97)t, y = (1.01)12t, y = (1.2)t/10, and classify them as representing exponential growth or decay. |

| Cluster: Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems. | Test Questions |
| F.LE.1 Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions. a. Prove that linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals; and that exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal intervals. b. Recognize situations in which one quantity changes at a constant rate per unit interval relative to another. c. Recognize situations in which a quantity grows or decays by a constant percent rate per unit interval relative to another. |
