Algebra 2. This describes the skill, not a learner estimate.
Where a line meets a parabola
Read shared points of a line and parabola as simultaneous solutions
Problem types
- Read a line and parabola intersection
Builds on
Leads to
- Solving a linear and a nonlinear equation together
- Approximating a solution from a graph · Extend the idea
Reading shared points of a line and a parabola extends to any equation f(x) = g(x): the solutions are the inputs where the two outputs match. A table of values locates them.
- Conic sections and their equations · See it applied
Reading where a line crosses a circle or ellipse counts and locates the solutions of a system with a conic.
