Algebra 3 and Trigonometry

0446

|General Information |

|Credits: 1.0 Credits Length: Full Year |

|Weighted: Unweighted Format: Meets Daily |

|Prerequisite: Algebra 2 Grade: 11, 12 |

|Course Description |

|Algebra 3 is intended to complete the topics of Algebra not developed in Algebra 2. In addition, the course will review, reinforce and |

|strengthen the concepts and skills studied in Algebra 2 with emphasis on equation and inequality solving. The new topics will include but not |

|be limited to complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic functions, and sequences and series. Trigonometry will be introduced through right |

|triangles and extended to include the circular functions. |

MARKING PERIOD ONE

• LINEAR EQUATIONS AND INEQUALITIES IN 1 AND 2 VARIABLES, WITH GRAPHING

• EXPONENTS, POLYNOMIALS AND POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS

• FACTORING

|Common Core Standards |

|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. |

|A-APR.3. Identify zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are available, and use the zeros to construct a rough graph of the |

|function defined by the polynomial. |

|A-APR.6. Rewrite simple rational expressions in different forms; write a(x)/b(x) in the form q(x) + r(x)/b(x), where a(x), b(x), q(x), and |

|r(x) are polynomials with the degree of r(x) less than the degree of b(x), using inspection, long division, or, for the more complicated |

|examples, a computer algebra system. |

|A-APR.7. (+) Understand that rational expressions form a system analogous to the rational numbers, closed under addition, subtraction, |

|multiplication, and division by a nonzero rational expression; add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational expressions. |

|A-CED.1. 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. |

|A-CED.2. Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with |

|labels and scales. |

|A-CED.3. Represent constraints by equations or inequalities, and by systems of equations and/or inequalities, and interpret solutions as |

|viable or nonviable options in a modeling context. For example, represent inequalities describing nutritional and cost constraints on |

|combinations of different foods. |

|A-CED.4. 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. |

|A-REI.1. 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. |

|A-REI.2. Solve simple rational and radical equations in one variable, and give examples showing how extraneous solutions may arise. |

|A-REI.6. Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with graphs), focusing on pairs of linear equations in two |

|variables. |

|A-REI.7. Solve a simple system consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation in two variables algebraically and graphically. For |

|example, find the points of intersection between the line |

|F-LE.2. Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a |

|relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table). |

|F-LE.5. Interpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context. |

|A-REI.10. Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often |

|forming a curve (which could be a line). |

|A-REI.11. 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.★ |

|A-REI.12. Graph the solutions to a linear inequality in two variables as a half-plane (excluding the boundary in the case of a strict |

|inequality), and graph the solution set to a system of linear inequalities in two variables as the intersection of the corresponding |

|half-planes. |

| |

|Keystone Connections |

|2.8.A2.B: Evaluate and simplify algebraic expressions, for example: products/quotients of polynomials, logarithmic expressions and complex |

|fractions; and solve and graph linear, quadratic, exponential and logarithmic equations and inequalities, and solve and graph systems of |

|equations and inequalities. |

|2.8.11.B: Evaluate and simplify algebraic expressions and solve and graph linear, quadratic, exponential and logarithmic equations and |

|inequalities, and solve and graphic systems of equations and inequalities. |

|2.8.A2.D: Demonstrate an understanding and apply properties of functions (domain, range, inverses) and characteristics of families of |

|functions (linear, polynomial, rational, trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic). |

|2.8.A2.E: Use combinations of symbols and numbers to create expressions, equations and inequalities in two or more variables, systems of |

|equations and inequalities, and functional relationships that model problem situations. |

|2.8.A2.F: Interpret the results of solving equations, inequalities, systems of equations and inequalities in the context of the situation |

|that motivated the model. |

|2.5.11.A: Develop a plan to analyze a problem, identify the information needed to solve the problem, carry out the plan, check whether an |

|answer makes sense, and explain how the problem was solved in grade appropriate contexts. |

|2.5.11.B: Use symbols, mathematical terminology, standard notation, mathematical rules, graphing and other types of mathematical |

|representations to communicate observations, predictions, concepts, procedures, generalizations, ideas and results. |

MARKING PERIOD THREE

• EXPONENTIAL AND LOGARITHMIC FUNCTIONS

• SEQUENCES AND SERIES

• RIGHT TRIANGLE TRIGONOMETRY

|Common Core Standards |

|F-IF.1. Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain |

|exactly one element of the range. If f is a function and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the|

|input x. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x). |

|F-IF.2. Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, and interpret statements that use function notation in terms of|

|a context. |

|F-IF.3. Recognize that sequences are functions, sometimes defined recursively, whose domain is a subset of the integers. |

|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 functions, including step functions and absolute value functions. |

|c. Graph polynomial functions, identifying zeros when suitable factorizations are available, and showing end behavior. |

|d. (+) Graph rational functions, identifying zeros and asymptotes when suitable factorizations are available, and showing end behavior. |

|e. Graph exponential and logarithmic functions, showing intercepts and end behavior, and trigonometric functions, showing period, midline, and|

|amplitude. |

|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. |

|F-IF.9. Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (either algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or |

|by verbal descriptions). |

|F-LE.1. Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions. |

|Prove that linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals, and that exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal |

|intervals. |

|Recognize situations in which one quantity changes at a constant rate per unit interval relative to another. |

|Recognize situations in which a quantity grows or decays by a constant percent rate per unit interval relative to another. |

|F-LE.2. Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a |

|relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table). |

|F-LE.3. Observe using graphs and tables that a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds a quantity increasing linearly, |

|quadratically, or (more generally) as a polynomial function. |
