Advanced Algebra - Unit 2: Operations with Polynomials
MGSE9-12.A.APR.1 Add, subtract, and multiply polynomials; understand that polynomials form a system analogous to
the integers in that they are closed under these operations.
n
MGSE9-12.A.APR.5 Know and apply that the Binomial Theorem gives the expansion of (x + y) in powers of x and y for
a positive integer n, where x and y are any numbers, with coefficients determined for example by Pascal’s Triangle.
MGSE9-12.A.APR.6 Rewrite simple rational expressions in different forms using inspection, long division, or a
computer algebra system; 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).
MGSE9-12.F.BF.1b Combine standard function types using arithmetic operations in contextual situations (Adding,
subtracting, and multiplying functions of different types).
MGSE9-12.F.BF.1c Compose functions. For example, if T(y) is the temperature in the atmosphere as a function of
height, and h(t) is the height of a weather balloon as a function of time, then T(h(t)) is the temperature at the location
of the weather balloon as a function of time.
MGSE9-12.F.BF.4a Solve an equation of the form f(x) = c for a simple function f that has an inverse and write an
3
expression for the inverse. For example, f(x) =2(x ) or f(x) = (x+1)/(x-1) for x ≠ 1.
MGSE9-12.F.BF.4c Read values of an inverse function from a graph or a table, given that the function has an inverse.
