# Algebra 1B

Goals

8. Sequences and Functions

• I will be able determine arithmetic and geometric sequences

9. Descriptive Statistics

• I will be able to use the two basic methods of descriptive statistics — graphical and numeric, using a variety of tables, graphs, and plots to visualize what the data is showing
• I will be able to summarize these patterns by computing statistics that describe the distribution, central tendency, and spread of the data
• I will be able to determine relationships between data sets

10. Polynomials

• I will be able to make connections between polynomials, their graphs, and the real-world relationships

11. Factoring of Polynomials

• I will be able to find out more about a function’s graph by factoring
• I will use factoring to form representations that make it easier to tell where a function’s roots (x-intercepts) are
• If the function happens to describe a real-world relationship, I will be able to determine the meaning of the x-intercepts quickly using factoring
