Teacher: Ryan Van Omen

Grade Level/Course: 9th Grade Algebra 1 CP

Unit: Polynomials

Topic: Real World Applications

SC Content Standards:
A1.ASE.3*
Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties
of the quantity represented by the expression.
a. Find the zeros of a quadratic function by rewriting it in equivalent factored form and
explain the connection between the zeros of the function, its linear factors, the x-
intercepts of its graph, and the solutions to the corresponding quadratic equation.
A1.FIF.4*
Interpret key features of a function that models the relationship between two quantities
when given in graphical or tabular form. Sketch the graph of a function from a verbal
description showing key features. Key features include intercepts; intervals where the
function is increasing, decreasing, constant, positive, or negative; relative maximums and
minimums; symmetries; end behavior and periodicity. (Limit to linear; quadratic;
exponential.)
A1.FIF.6* Given a function in graphical, symbolic, or tabular form, determine the
average rate of change of the function over a specified interval. Interpret the meaning of
the average rate of change in a given context. (Limit to linear; quadratic; exponential.)
A1.FIF.7* Graph functions from their symbolic representations. Indicate key features
including intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or
negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior and periodicity.
Graph simple cases by hand and use technology for complicated cases. (Limit to linear;
quadratic; exponential only in the form = + .)
