Exploration of the fundamental properties of real numbers and the behavior of polynomial functions.
Investigating the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic and the logical necessity of irrational numbers.
Understanding the relationship between the coefficients of a polynomial and the geometry of its zeros.
Analyzing the intersection of two lines and the conditions for unique, infinite, or no solutions.
Quadratic Relationships and Progressions
Studying non-linear growth through quadratic equations and predictable patterns in arithmetic progressions.
Solving second-degree equations and understanding the role of the discriminant in defining roots.
Identifying patterns of constant change and calculating sums of finite sequences.
Geometry and Similarity
Moving beyond congruence to understand the properties of similar figures and the power of the Pythagorean theorem.
Proving theorems related to similarity and the Basic Proportionality Theorem.
Using algebraic tools to calculate distance, section points, and areas on a coordinate plane.
Exploring the unique properties of tangents and their relationship to the radius at the point of contact.
Trigonometry and Its Applications
