Number Properties, Operations, and Linear Equations
|
|
Students identify and use the arithmetic properties of subsets of integers and rational, irrational, and real numbers, including closure properties for the four basic arithmetic operations where applicable:
|
| ♦ |
Students understand and use such operations as taking the opposite, finding the reciprocal, taking a root, and raising to a fractional power. They understand and use the rules of exponents.
|
| ♦ |
Students solve equations and inequalities involving absolute values.
|
| ♦ |
Students simplify expressions prior to solving linear equations and inequalities in one variable, such as 3(2x – 5) + 4(x – 2) = 12.
|
| ♦ |
Students use properties of numbers to demonstrate whether assertions are true or false.
|
|
Graphing and Systems of Linear Equations
|
| ♦ |
Students graph a linear equation and compute the x- and y-intercepts (e.g., graph 2x + 6y = 4). They are also able to sketch the region defined by linear inequality (e.g., they sketch the region defined by 2x + 6y < 4).
