Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. For example, see ๐˜นโด โ€“ ๐˜บโด as (๐˜นยฒ)ยฒ โ€“ (๐˜บยฒ)ยฒ, thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as (๐˜นยฒ โ€“ ๐˜บยฒ)(๐˜นยฒ + ๐˜บยฒ).
Rewrite simple rational expressions in different forms; write ๐˜ข(๐˜น)/๐˜ฃ(๐˜น) in the form ๐˜ฒ(๐˜น) + ๐˜ณ(๐˜น)/๐˜ฃ(๐˜น), where ๐˜ข(๐˜น), ๐˜ฃ(๐˜น), ๐˜ฒ(๐˜น), and ๐˜ณ(๐˜น) are polynomials with the degree of ๐˜ณ(๐˜น) less than the degree of ๐˜ฃ(๐˜น), using inspection, long division, or, for the more complicated examples, a computer algebra system.
Understand that rational expressions form a system analogous to the rational numbers, closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division by a nonzero rational expression; add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational expressions.
