To find the amount in an account that earns interest compounded annually after a given number of
years, first add the interest rate as a decimal to 1. Calculate the power with this number as the base
and the number of years as the exponent. Then multiply the result by the original amount in the
account.

Recognize and describe errors in data collection and analysis as well as
identifying representations of data as being accurate or misleading.
Data should be collected and presented in a way that avoids bias. In reading a report or summary of
data, keep in mind the following questions:
Is the data set large enough? Was the data collection technique appropriate? Are graphs properly
constructed? Do the conclusions avoid unfounded inferences?
EXAMPLE
A phone survey of 1140 randomly selected households in
a small town produced the data summarized in the chart.
On this basis, the study concluded that a typical income
for this town was about $30,000 per year. Is this a sound
conclusion?
If typical refers to the median income, the conclusion is
reasonable, because roughly half of households lie on
either side of $30,000.
If typical refers to the mean income, the conclusion is
unfounded. The mean is almost certainly $35,000 or higher.

SPI 3103.1.3
Use technology tools to identify and describe patterns in data using
non-linear and transcendental functions that approximate data as well as
using those functions to solve contextual problems.
To find an appropriate model for a data set, examine the data and/or its graph for hints of an
appropriate type of model. A calculators regression feature can then help you find an equation of a
model. The closer the value of r
2
(the square of the correlation coefficient) is to 1, the better the model.
Once you have a model, you can use it to make predictions. A prediction is most reliable for values of
the independent variable that lie between or near the minimum and maximum domain values of the data.
EXAMPLE
Consider the following data:
(3.6, 21.5), (14.1, 493.8), (29.3, 2674.5), (40.5, 5629.3)
a. Find the equation of an appropriate model.
b. Use your model to predict the value of y to the nearest hundred when x 5 21.5.
Solution
a. The data are clearly not linear. A sketch shows a curved, basically parabolic graph. Enter the
data into a calculator and try a quadratic regression model:
y < 4.21x
2
2 34.5x 1 107
r
2
5 0.999845 Very close to 1, indicating a good fit
b. When x 5 21.5, y < 4.21(21.5)
2
2 34.5(21.5) 1 107 < 1300.
Experimenting further with a calculator shows that an exponential model is a much poorer fit
(r
2
< 0.91), but that the power model y < 1.13x
2.30
is an even better fit (r
2
< 0.999999).

Use mathematical language, symbols, denitions, proofs and counter-
examples correctly and precisely to effectively communicate reasoning
in the process of solving problems via mathematical modeling with both
linear and non-linear functions.
A counterexample is an example that disproves a hypothesis, proposition, or theorem.
EXAMPLE
Geri believes that the squares of two natural numbers {1, 2, 3, } cannot add up to the square
of another natural number. Give a counterexample.
Solution
Make a table of squares for the natural numbers:
n n

From the table, it is apparent that 9 1 16 5 25, or 3

. The squares of the natural numbers
3 and 4 add up to the square of the natural number 5. This fact is a counterexample that disproves
Geris hypothesis.

Two complex numbers of the form a 1 bi and
a 2 bi are called complex conjugates. The
product of complex conjugates is always a real
number.

Complex Number Operations Example
To add (or subtract) two complex numbers, add (or
subtract) their real parts and their imaginary parts
separately.
Sum of complex numbers:
(a 1 bi) 1 (c 1 di) 5 (a 1 c) 1 (b 1 d)i
Difference of complex numbers:
(a 1 bi) 2 (c 1 di) 5 (a 2 c) 1 (b 2 d)i
Sum:
(2 2 3i) 1 (3 1 4i) 5 (2 1 3) 1 (23 1 4)i
5 5 1 i
Difference:
(4 1 3i) 2 (2 2 4i) 5 (4 2 2) 1 (3 2(24))i
5 2 1 7i
To multiply two complex numbers, use the
Distributive Property or the FOIL method just as
you do when multiplying real numbers or algebraic
expressions.
Distributive Property:
2(2 2 3i) 5 4 2 6i
FOIL Method:
(1 1 4i)(2 2 2i) 5 2 2 2i 1 8i 2 8i

Use the number system, from real to complex, to solve equations and
contextual problems.
A solution of a linear equation with real number coefficients will be a real number. Once you begin
solving polynomial equations of degree two and higher, however, the solution set may include
complex numbers. For example, a quadratic equation ax
2
1 bx 1 c 5 0 has complex solutions when
the discriminant, b
2
2 4ac, is negative.

Add, subtract, multiply, divide and simplify rational expressions including
those with rational and negative exponents.
Simplifying Complex Fractions
A complex fraction is a fraction that contains a fraction in its numerator or denominator.
A complex fraction can be simplied using either of the methods below:
Method 1: If necessary, simplify the numerator and denominator by writing each as a single
fraction. Then divide the numerator by the denominator.
Method 2: Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the least common denominator
(LCD) of every fraction in the numerator and denominator. Then simplify.

A function is a set of numbers where each x value has exactly one corresponding y value. The values
of the independent variable constitute the domain of the function and the values of the dependent
variable constitute the range of the function.
EXAMPLE 1
Identify the range of the function represented by this graph.
Solution
The range is the set of y values. For this function,
26 # y # 22.
In a real-world situation, the values of the domain or range may need to be restricted.
EXAMPLE 2
A rental car company charges 25 cents per mile plus a at fee of $30. The customer cannot drive the
car more than 100 miles. The charges to a customer who drives x miles is given by C(x) 5 30 1 0.25x.
Describe the domain and range of C(x).
Solution
The customer cannot drive a negative number of miles x, so x $ 0. And the customer cannot drive
more than 100 miles, so x # 100. Therefore, the domain is 0 # x # 100.
For a customer who has driven the minimum of 0 miles, the cost is C(0), or the at fee of $30. For
a customer who has driven the maximum of 100 miles, the cost is C(100), or $55. Since the cost
C(x) is increasing on the interval 0 # x # 100, the cost varies from $30 to $55. Therefore, the
range is 30 # y # 55.

SPI 3103.3.7
Identify whether a function has an inverse, whether two functions are
inverses of each other, and/or explain why their graphs are reections
over the line y = x.
A relation is a pairing of input values with output values. An inverse relation switches the input
and output values of the original relation. So, if (x, y) is an ordered pair of a relation, then ( y, x) is
an ordered pair of the inverse relation. The graph of the inverse relation is a reection of the graph
of the original relation. The line of reection is y 5 x.
The relation g(x) is the inverse of relation f (x) if f (g(x)) 5 g( f (x)) 5 x. When both the original
relation f (x) and the inverse relation g(x) are functions, we write g(x) 5 f
21
(x). You can check that
the inverse of function f (x) is also a function by verifying that no horizontal line intersects the
graph of f (x) more than once. (This is called the horizontal line test.) Without a graph, you could
instead check that relation f (x) does not assign the same range element to two different domain
elements.
EXAMPLE
Verify that f (x) 5 x
2
1 2 has the inverse relation
g(x) 5 6
}
x 2 2 , but that g(x) is not a function.
Solution
f (g(x)) 5 (g(x))
2

g ( f (x)) 5 6

}}
(x
2
1 2) 2 5 6
}
x
2
5 x
Both equal x, so g(x) is the inverse of relation f (x).
But on the graph of f (x) 5 x
2
1 2, some horizontal lines
would cut the graph at two points. For instance, the points
(2, 6) and (22, 6) on the graph assign the same range
element 6 to two different domain elements, 2 and 22.
Therefore, the inverse g(x) is not a function.

To graph the solution set of a system of linear or quadratic inequalities in the plane, rst ignore the
inequality sign and graph each equation in the plane. Remember that the graph of the line y 5 mx 1 b
has a y-intercept of b; substitute a value for x to nd the y-coordinate of another point on the line. The
table below is a review of how to graph quadratic equations.

To graph the solution set of a system of inequalities, follow these steps:
Step 1 Solve each inequality in terms of y. Graph each inequality in the same plane. Use a solid
line or curve for $ and # inequalities; use a dashed line or curve for . and , inequalities.
Step 2 Shade above the line or curve for . and $ inequalities; shade below for , and #
inequalities.
Step 3 Identify the region that is common to all the graphs of the inequalities. This region is the
graph of the system.
EXAMPLE
Solve the system and graph the solution.

Polynomial Functions
A polynomial function in the form f (x) 5 a(x 2 h)
n
1 k is a transformation of the parent function
f (x) 5 x
n
. The graph is stretched or compressed by a factor of |a|, translated h units horizontally, and
translated k units vertically.
Exponential Functions
An exponential function in the form f (x) 5 ab
x
1 c is a transformation of the parent function
f (x) 5 b
x
. The graph is stretched by a factor of |a|. If a is negative, the function is reected about the
x-axis. Notice that if the parent function of f is increasing and a , 0, f is decreasing. The value of c
translates the graph c units vertically.

Interpret graphs that depict real-world phenomena.
To analyze graphs and draw conclusions, you must rst identify the quantities involved in the
problem and how they are related to each other. It is important to determine what the intercepts of
the graph represent in a given situation, and it is also important to determine what the minimum
or maximum value of the graph represents. Pay close attention to the units and scales used on the
graphs axes.
EXAMPLE
This graph shows the height of a baseball from the time it is thrown until it hits the ground.
After how many seconds does the ball rst reach a height of 20 feet?

Time (s)

Solution
Look at the graph. Find 20 on the y-axis since the height in feet is shown along this axis.
Notice that the graph has 2 points where the y-coordinate is 20, one on the way up and one on
the way down. We are looking for the rst time the ball reaches 20 feet, so nd the value of the
x-coordinate at the rst point where the y-coordinate is 20. This x-value is about 0.75. Therefore,
the ball rst reaches a height of 20 feet after about 0.75 seconds.

In a binomial experiment, a single event with two possible outcomes is repeated several times. The
outcome of the experiment is the number of times each type of outcome occurs. For example, in
spinning a spinner with dark and light sections 5 times, one possible outcome for the experiment is
landing on 3 dark sections and 2 light sections. If the probability of landing on a dark section is p, the
probability of each possible outcome of n trials of the binomial experiment is given by the terms of
the expanded polynomial expression
( p 1 (1 2 p))

where the rst term is the probability of landing on exactly n dark sections and 0 light sections, the
second term is the probability of landing on exactly n 2 1 dark sections and 1 light section, and so on.
EXAMPLE 2
The spinner shown is spun 5 times. What is the probability that
exactly 3 of those spins will land on the dark section?
Solution
If 5 spins have exactly 3 that land in the dark section,
then 2 land in a light section. One factor of the probability is
p
3
( p 2 1)

. Because the exponent on ( p 2 1) is 2, this term also
has a factor of

Compute, compare and explain summary statistics for distributions of
data including measures of center and spread.
A number used to represent the center or middle of a set of data values is a measure of central
tendency. Mean, median, and mode are measures of central tendency.
The mean is the average of the data values. Find the mean by adding all the values and dividing by
the number of values.
The median is the middle value. Find the median by ordering the numbers from smallest to largest.
If the number of values is odd, the median is the middle number. If the number of values is even, the
median is the average of the middle two numbers.
The mode is the most frequently occurring value. If no value appears more than once, the data has
no mode. It is possible for a data set to have multiple modes.
A number used to represent the spread of a set of data values is a measure of dispersion. Range,
interquartile range, variance, and standard deviation are measures of dispersion.
The quartiles divide the data into four parts, each with an equal number of data elements.
Quartile 1 is the median of the lower half the data. Quartile 2 is the same as the median of the
data set. Quartile 3 is the median of the upper half of the data.
The interquartile range is calculated as Quartile 3 2 Quartile 1.

Apply the characteristics of the normal distribution.
A normal probability distribution, often called a bell curve, is symmetric about a central peak and
extends innitely far to the left and right. The location of the peak on the horizontal axis is the mean
of the distribution. The spread of the peak is described by the standard deviation, which represents
a distance from the mean. The greater the standard deviation, the greater the spread. With a normal
distribution, about 68% of the area under the curve lies within 1 standard deviation from the mean,
1 std.
dev.
1 std.
dev.
mean
68%
About 95% of the area under the curve lies within 2 standard deviations from the mean, and about
99.7% lies within 3 standard deviations. For a given interval on the horizontal axis, the area under the
curve over that interval represents the probability that an outcome will fall within the interval.
EXAMPLE
A variable has a normal probability distribution with a mean of 8 and a standard deviation of 2.5.
Sketch the curve and nd the probability that on a single trial, the variable takes on a value between
8 and 13.
Solution
3 8 13
The interval from 8 to 13 represents the values that lie within 2 standard deviations of the mean and
are greater than the mean. The probability that the variable falls in that interval is about half of 95%,
or 47.5%.
Some variables, such as height and weight in a random sample of people, tend to have normal
distribution. Other variables tend not to be normally distributed. Peoples salaries, housing prices,
and city populations, for example, all have asymmetric distributions, with more extreme values
above the mean than below it.

Determine differences between randomized experiments and
observational studies.
In a survey, a specific group of people is asked a series of questions about the topic under
consideration. When designing a survey, it is important to keep several factors in mind:
Surveys can be given in person, online, over the phone, or by mail.
Survey results can be affected by the wording of the question.
Survey results may be biased if the population is selected so that respondents are more or less
likely than the general public to answer questions in a certain way.
Survey results may be affected by respondents not answering truthfully or completely.
In an observation, the group being studied is observed without any intervention on the part of the
researcher.
In an experimental study, the researcher will collect data, intervene in some way in the population
being studied, and then collect data again to study the effects of the intervention.
An experimental study is a controlled experiment if the intervention is not performed on some of the
population (the control group) so that the results found in the group that had the intervention can be
compared to the control group.
There are several different ways to sample a population for a survey or study.
Random samples and biased samples each have their place in data collection. In a random sample,
no part of the population is favored over another, and so a random sample is more likely to lead to
sound conclusions. In a biased sample, one or more parts of the population have a greater likelihood
of being included. However, biased sampling is generally easier and cheaper than random sampling
and can be necessary when random sampling is not feasible.

Find the regression curve that best ts both linear and non-linear data
(using technology such as a graphing calculator) and use it to make
predictions.
To determine a regression curve that best fits a set of data, first plot the data on a scatter plot. Next,
consider the general shape of the scatter plot to select an appropriate curve to find using a graphing
calculator. If the shape of the scatter plot is not clear, you may need to try two or more curves to see
which best fits the data.
Once you have found a regression curve, you can use it to make predictions.
EXAMPLE
The table shows the distance Amanda bicycled during a 30-minute training ride each week for 10
weeks. Find the regression curve that best fits the data, and predict the distance Amanda will ride in
week 15.
Week 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Distance (mi) 5.8 7.3 7.7 8.8 9.3 9.5 10.1 9.9 10.3 10.4
Solution
Make a scatter plot of the data.
The trend of the data is to increase more rapidly at first,
and then to increase more slowly. This describes a logarithmic
relationship. A logarithmic regression curve would most likely
be the best fit for the data.
Enter the data into a graphing calculator by assigning to one list
the weeks (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) and to another list the
corresponding times (5.8, 7.3, 7.7, 8.8, 9.3, 9.5, 10.1, 9.9, 10.3, 10.4).
Use the logarithmic regression selection to find the equation for the regression line:
y 5 5.8 1 2.1 ln x. Evaluate the equation at x 5 15 to predict Amandas distance in week 15.
The value is about 11.5 miles.

Determine/recognize when the correlation coefcient measures
goodness of t.
The correlation coefcient r of a regression equation indicates the nature and strength of the asso-
ciation between the two variables. The correlation coefcient ranges from 0 to 1 when the regression
curve is increasing, and from 0 to 21 when the regression curve is decreasing. Values near 21 or 1
indicate a strong relationship, while a value near 0 indicates little or no relationship. When a calculator
performs least-squares regression, it stores the correlation coefcient as the variable r.
The following graphs illustrate different values for r obtained when nding a linear regression curve
for the data.

Apply probability concepts such as conditional probability and independent
events to calculate simple probability.
Theoretical probability is computed by dividing the number of ways a particular event can happen
by the number of events in a sample space. The probability that an event E will occur is written as
P(E ). Probability can be expressed as a fraction, decimal, or percentage. A value of 0 or 0% means
that the event cannot happen. A value of 1 or 100% means the event is certain to happen.
The conditional probability of B given A, P(B|A), is the probability that B occurs, given
that A has occurred. For any two events A and B, P(B|A) 5

EXAMPLE 1
A number cube is rolled. What is the probability that the roll is a 4, given that it is an even number?
Intuitively, a number cube has three even numbers, 2, 4 and 6, all equally likely.
So the probability of a 4, given that the roll is even, is

Two events, A and B, are independent if the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of the
occurrence of the other. For independent events, P(B|A) 5 P(B) and P(A and B) 5 P(A) p P(B).
EXAMPLE 2
For a machine that stamps out machine parts, 2% of the parts come out defective. If two parts are
picked at random from a weeks worth of production from that machine, what is the probability that
both parts are defective? Treat each part as an independent event.
P(defective first part) 5 P(defective second part) 5 0.02. By the rule for independent events, P(both
parts defective) 5 0.02 p 0.02 5 0.0004. The probability that both parts are defective is 0.04%.
