ID | Standard | StudyPug Topic |
|---|---|---|
CC.HSN.CN.B.4 | Represent complex numbers on the complex plane in rectangular and polar form (including real and imaginary numbers), and explain why the rectangular and polar forms of a given complex number represent the same number. |

CC.HSA.REI.D.11 | Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values, or find successive approximations.

CC.HSF.TF.A.3 | Use special triangles to determine geometrically the values of sine, cosine, tangent for π/3, π/4 and π/6, and use the unit circle to express the values of sine, cosine, and tangent for π–x, π+x, and 2π–x in terms of their values for x, where x is any real number. |
CC.HSF.TF.B.5 | Choose trigonometric functions to model periodic phenomena with specified amplitude, frequency, and midline. |
CC.HSF.TF.B.6 | Understand that restricting a trigonometric function to a domain on which it is always increasing or always decreasing allows its inverse to be constructed. |

CC.HSF.TF.C.8 | Prove the Pythagorean identity sin^2(θ) + cos^2(θ) = 1 and use it to find sin(θ), cos(θ), or tan(θ) given sin(θ), cos(θ), or tan(θ) and the quadrant of the angle. |

CC.HSN.VM.C.8 | Add, subtract, and multiply matrices of appropriate dimensions. |
CC.HSN.VM.C.9 | Understand that, unlike multiplication of numbers, matrix multiplication for square matrices is not a commutative operation, but still satisfies the associative and distributive properties. |

CC.HSG.GPE.A.2 | Derive the equation of a parabola given a focus and directrix. |

CC.HSS.IC.A.2 | Decide if a specified model is consistent with results from a given data-generating process, e.g., using simulation. |
CC.HSS.IC.B.3 | Recognize the purposes of and differences among sample surveys, experiments, and observational studies; explain how randomization relates to each. |
CC.HSS.IC.B.4 | Use data from a sample survey to estimate a population mean or proportion; develop a margin of error through the use of simulation models for random sampling. |
CC.HSS.IC.B.5 | Use data from a randomized experiment to compare two treatments; use simulations to decide if differences between parameters are significant. |
