Vince sent this (probably final) draft out on Monday, Feb. 2. Corrections are due back to him in the next few days. A previous draft is still available, including Bloom's Taxonomy.

  2. Find the domain of a function.
  3. Perform elementary arithmetic operations with functions.
  4. Perform elementary arithmetic operations with rational expressions that require the sum or difference of cubes.
  5. Simplify a complex fraction with negative exponents.

  3. Solve an equation with quadratic expressions in the denominator.
  4. Solve an equation with one radical.
  5. Determine whether a possible solution of an equation is extraneous.
  6. Solve a simple log equation by rewriting it in its equivalent exponential form.

USING FORMS AND FORMULAS
  1. Graph a function, such as a simple absolute value or rational function, by completing a table and plotting points.
  2. Find the equation of a line when given its slope and a point on the line or any two points on the line.

  4. Solve a quadratic equation with non-real solutions.
  5. Find the midpoint and the distance between two points.
  6. Complete a square to rewrite an equation for a circle in standard form and identify its center and radius.
  7. Determine if a formula, correspondence, table or graph represents a function.

GRAPHING
  1. Graph a linear inequality on the cartesian plane.
  2. Graph a system of linear inequalities on the cartesian plane.
  3. Graph and analyze a linear and quadratic function.
  4. Sketch a quadratic function, written in the form , using transformations.
  5. Graph an exponential and log function by making a table of ordered pairs.
  6. Sketch a circle from its standard form.

APPLICATIONS
  1. Represent English descriptions of numerical relationships in algebraic form.
  2. Solve application problems including, but not limited to, linear and quadratic models, direct and inverse variation, and those requiring and systems of linear equations.
  3. 1) On Eq Solving, #5. Determine whether or not a solution is extraneous. When I first read "Recognize, it took me a minute to decide what we were talking about".
  4. 2) Eq Solving #6. Solve simple log equation by rewriting it in its equivalent exponential form (That may not have been what you meant - if not, fine)
  5. 3) ON Graphing #5. I wasn't sure what you intended: ...using table of values. The table implied to me, maybe: "given a table, graph the exp or log graph" Graph Exp and Log functions by finding table of values?
