Polynomial Identities (or A-APR.4)

So, I’ve been writing a bit of Common Core Algebra II lately. As a general principle, if there is a standard that PARCC had told us will be assessed on the EOY exam, then I will address it in the text. Will I nail all of the types of questions kids will see on any given standard? Absolutely not, and no other resource will either.

But, I tell you. Some of these standards, such as the topic of this post:

Anyhow, I worked out the lesson and homework for this particular topic. It sort of just sticks out in the middle of my unit on Polynomial and Rational Functions.

Here it is:
