Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): 09-12 - Algebra I with Probability

MA19.A1.13
Represent constraints by equations and/or inequalities, and solve systems of equations and/or inequalities, interpreting solutions as viable or nonviable options in a modeling context. Limit to contexts arising from linear, quadratic, exponential, absolute value, and linear piecewise functions.

Unpacked Content

Knowledge

Students know:

When a particular system of two variable equations or inequalities accurately models the situation presented in a contextual problem.
Which points in the solution of a system of linear inequalities need to be tested to maximize or minimize the variable of interest.

Skills

Students are able to:

Graph equations and inequalities involving two variables on coordinate axes.
Identify the region that satisfies both inequalities in a system.
Identify the point(s) that maximizes or minimizes the variable of interest in a system of inequalities.
Test a mathematical model using equations, inequalities, or a system against the constraints in the context and interpret the solution in this context.

Understanding

Students understand that:

A symbolic representation of relevant features of a real-world problem can provide for resolution of the problem and interpretation of the situation and solution.
Representing a physical situation with a mathematical model requires consideration of the accuracy and limitations of the model.
