 Self Check Quizzes—Standards Practice

Extra Examples shows you additional worked-out examples that mimic the ones in your book. These requirements include the benchmarks from the Sunshine State Standards that are most relevant to this course. The benchmarks printed in regular type are required for this course. The portions printed in italic type are not required for this course.

After successfully completing this course, the student will:

  1. Demonstrate understanding of the different ways numbers are represented and used in the real world.
  2. Demonstrate understanding of number systems.
  3. Demonstrate understanding of the effects of operations on numbers and the relationships among these operations, select appropriate operations, and compute for problem solving.
  4. Use estimation in problem solving and computation.
  5. Demonstrate understanding and apply theories related to numbers.
  6. Measure quantities in the real world and use the measures to solve problems.
  7. Compare, contrast, and convert within systems of measurement (both standard/nonstandard and metric/customary).
  8. Estimate measurements in real world problem situations.
  9. Visualize and illustrate ways in which shapes can be combined, subdivided, and changed.
  10. Use coordinate geometry to locate objects in two dimensions and to describe objects algebraically.

1.0      Students solve equations and inequalities involving absolute value.
1-4, 1-6, 2-7
2.0      Students solve systems of linear equations and inequalities (in two or three variables) by substitution, with graphs, or with matrices.
3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-5, 4-1, 4-6, 4-8
3.0      Students are adept at operations on polynomials, including long division.
5-1, 5-2, 5-3, 7-4
4.0      Students factor polynomials representing the difference of squares, perfect square trinomials, and the sum and difference of two cubes.
5-1, 9-1, 9-2, 9-6
5.0   Students demonstrate knowledge of how real and complex numbers are related both arithmetically and graphically. In particular, they can plot complex numbers as points in the plane.
5-9
6.0   Students add, subtract, multiply, and divide complex numbers.
5-9
7.0   Students add, subtract, multiply, divide, reduce, and evaluate rational expressions with monomial and polynomial denominators and simplify complicated rational expressions, including those with negative exponents in the denominator.
1-1, 5-1, 5-4, 9-1, 9-2, 9-3
8.0   Students solve and graph quadratic equations by factoring, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula. Students apply these techniques in solving word problems. They also solve quadratic equations in the complex number system.
5-9, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4, 6-5
9.0   Students demonstrate and explain the effect that changing a coefficient has on the graph of quadratic functions; that is, students can determine how the graph of a parabola changes as a, b, and c vary in the equation y = a(x - b)2 + c.
6-6, 8-2
10.0   Students graph quadratic functions and determine the maxima, minima, and zeros of the function.
6-1, 6-2
11.0   Students prove simple laws of logarithms.
10-2, 10-3, 10-4
11.1   Students understand the inverse relationship between exponents and logarithms and use this relationship to solve problems involving logarithms and exponents.
10-2, 10-3, 10-4, 10-5
11.2   Students judge the validity of an argument according to whether the properties of real numbers, exponents, and logarithms have been applied correctly at each step.
5-1, 10-2, 10-3, 10-5
12.0   Students know the laws of fractional exponents, understand exponential functions, and use these functions in problems involving exponential growth and decay.
5-7, 10-1, 10-6

10-2, 10-3, 10-4
15.0   Students determine whether a specific algebraic statement involving rational expressions, radical expressions, or logarithmic or exponential functions is sometimes true, always true, or never true.
5-4, 5-5, 5-6, 9-1, 9-2, 10-1, 10-5
16.0   Students demonstrate and explain how the geometry of the graph of a conic section (e.g., asymptotes, foci, eccentricity) depends on the coefficients of the quadratic equation representing it.
8-2, 8-3, 8-4, 8-5
17.0   Given a quadratic equation of the form ax2 + by2 + cx + dy + e = 0, students can use the method for completing the square to put the equation into standard form and can recognize whether the graph of the equation is a circle, ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola. Students can then graph the equation.
8-6
18.0   Students use fundamental counting principles to compute combinations and permutations.
12-1, 12-2
19.0   Students use combinations and permutations to compute probabilities.
