Standard(s):
[MA2019] AL1-19 (9-12) 5 : 5. Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it.
Example: See x4 - y4 as (x2)2 - (y2)2, thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as (x2 - y2)(x2 + y2).
[MA2019] AL1-19 (9-12) 4 : 4. Interpret linear, quadratic, and exponential expressions in terms of a context by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity.
Example: Interpret the accrued amount of investment P(1 + r)t , where P is the principal and r is the interest rate, as the product of P and a factor depending on time t.
