A-SSE.1Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context.A-SSE.2Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. For example, see x^4 – y^4 as (x^2)^2 – (y^2)^2 thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as (x^2–y^2) (x^2 + y^2).A-SSE.3Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.A-SSE.4Derive the formula for the sum of a finite geometric series (when the common ratio is not 1), and use the formula to solve problems. For example, calculate mortgage payments.
Example Problems
Clara is measuring two cubes.
