THE COMPLEX NUMBER SYSTEM
- N.CN.1 (11) Know there is a complex number i such that i^2 = −1, and every complex number has the form a + bi with a and b real.
- N.CN.2 (11) Use the relation i^2 = −1 and the commutative, associative, and distributive properties to add, subtract, and multiply complex numbers.
- N.CN.3 (11) Find the conjugate of a complex number.
- N.CN.4 (+) Use conjugates to find moduli and quotients of complex numbers.
- N.CN.5 (+) 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.
- N.CN.6 (+) Represent addition, subtraction, multiplication, and conjugation of complex numbers geometrically on the complex plane; use properties of this representation for computation. For example, (-1 + √3 ⋅ i)^3 = 8 because (-1 + √3 ⋅ i) has modulus 2 and argument 120°.
- N.CN.7 (+) Calculate the distance between numbers in the complex plane as the modulus of the difference, and the midpoint of a segment as the average of the numbers at its endpoints.
- N.CN.8 (11) Solve quadratic equations with real coefficients that have complex solutions.
- N.CN.9 (+) Extend polynomial identities to the complex numbers. For example, rewrite x^2 + 4 as (x + 2i)(x-2i).
- N.CN.10 (+) Know the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra; show that it is true for quadratic polynomials.
QUANTITIES
- N.Q.1 (all) Use units as a way to understand problems and to guide the solution of multi-step problems; choose and interpret units consistently in formulas; choose and interpret the scale and the origin in graphs and data displays.
- N.Q.2 (all) Define appropriate quantities for the purpose of descriptive modeling.
- N.Q.3 (all) Choose a level of accuracy appropriate to limitations on measurement when reporting quantities.
THE REAL NUMBER SYSTEM
- N.RN.1 (9/10) Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical and algebraic expressions.
- N.RN.2 (11) Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents. For example, we define 5^(1/3) to be the cube root of 5 because we want (5^(1/3))^3 = 5^(1/3)^3 to hold, so (5^(1/3))^3 must equal 5.
- N.RN.3 (11) Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using the properties of exponents.
VECTOR AND MATRIX QUANTITIES
- N.VM.1 (+) Recognize vector quantities as having both magnitude and direction. Represent vector quantities by directed line segments, and use appropriate symbols for vectors and their magnitudes (e.g., v, |v|, ||v||, v).
- N.VM.2 (+) Find the components of a vector by subtracting the coordinates of an initial point from the coordinates of a terminal point.
- N.VM.3 (+) Solve problems involving velocity and other quantities that can be represented by vectors.
- N.VM.4 (+) Add and subtract vectors.
- N.VM.4a (+) Add vectors end-to-end, component-wise, and by the parallelogram rule. Understand that the magnitude of a sum of two vectors is typically not the sum of the magnitudes.
- N.VM.4b (+) Given two vectors in magnitude and direction form, determine the magnitude and direction of their sum.
- N.VM.4c (+) Understand vector subtraction v - w as v + (-w), where -w is the additive inverse of w with the same magnitude as w and pointing in the opposite direction. Represent vector subtraction graphically by connecting the tips in the appropriate order, and perform vector subtraction component-wise.
- N.VM.5 (+) Multiply a vector by a scalar.
- N.VM.5a (+) Represent scalar multiplication graphically by scaling vectors and possibly reversing their direction; perform scalar multiplication component-wise, (e.g. as c(v_x,v_y) = (cv_x, cv_y).)
- N.VM.5b (+) Compute the magnitude of a scalar multiple cv using ||cv|| = |c|v. Compute the direction of cv knowing that when |c|v ≠ 0, the direction of cv is either along v (for c > 0) or against v (for c < 0).
- N.VM.6 (11) Use matrices to represent and manipulate data, (e.g. to represent payoffs or incidence relationships in a network.)
- N.VM.7 (11) Multiply matrices by scalars to produce new matrices, (e.g. as when all of the payoffs in a game are doubled.)
- N.VM.8 (11) Add, subtract, and multiply matrices of appropriate dimensions; find determinants of 22 matrices.
- N.VM.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.
- N.VM.10 (+) Understand that the zero and identity matrices play a role in matrix addition and multiplication similar to the role of 0 and 1 in the real numbers. The determinant of a square matrix is nonzero if and only if the matrix has a multiplicative inverse.
- N.VM.11 (+) Multiply a vector (regarded as a matrix with one column) by a matrix of suitable dimensions to produce another vector. Work with matrices as transformations of vectors.
- N.VM.12 (+) Work with 22 matrices as transformations of the plane, and interpret the absolute value of the determinant in terms of area.
