Extend the properties of exponents to rational exponents
N-RN.A.1
Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents
follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those
values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational
exponents. For example, we define 51/3 to be the cube root of 5
because we want (51/3)3 = 5(1/3)3 to hold, so (51/3)3 must equal 5.
N-RN.A.2
Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using
the properties of exponents.

consider irrational exponents.

first defined the area of a circle and how students in Calculus approximate
a limit.

In Lesson 7, we modeled a population of bacteria that doubled

we approximated the value of 𝑡 numerically, and we found
that 𝑃 𝑡 = 10 at approximately 𝑡 ≈ 3.32 days.

A California Population Projection Engineer in 1920 was tasked with finding
a model that predicts the state’s population growth. He modeled the
population growth as a function of time, 𝑡 years since 1900. Census data
shows that the population in 1900, in thousands, was 1,490. In 1920, the
population of the state of California was 3,554 thousand. He decided to
explore both a linear and an exponential model.

models the population growth from 1900–1920.
(b) Use the data provided and your calculator to determine the equation of
the exponential function that models the population growth.

𝑇 𝑡 = 𝑇𝑎 + 𝑇0 – 𝑇𝑎 ∙ 2.718−𝑘𝑡
𝑓 𝑡 = 2.718𝑡
• Students explored the effect of each parameter in Newton’s
Law of Cooling by using a demonstration on Wolfram Alpha.

Lesson 28: Newton’s Law of Cooling,
Revisited
𝑇 𝑡 = 𝑇𝑎 + 𝑇0 – 𝑇𝑎 ∙ 𝑒 −𝑘𝑡
𝑇(𝑡) is the temperature of the object after a time of t hours has
elapsed,
𝑇𝑎 is the ambient temperature (the temperature of the
surroundings), assumed to be constant, not impacted by the
cooling process,
𝑇0 is the initial temperature of the object, and
𝑘 is the decay constant

Key Points – Topic D
• When modeling with exponential functions, logarithms are
useful for solving the exponential equations that arise.
• The number e appears in many applications of exponential
functions.
• There is a powerful connection between geometric sequences,
exponential functions, and logarithms.
• We will continue to explore applications of exponentials and
logarithms in Topic E.

Topic E: Geometric Series and Finance
• Students learn about series and use sigma notation for the first
time.
• Students apply their knowledge of geometric sequences to
various financial contexts.
• The emphasis in this topic is on MP4 – Modeling with
mathematics.

Lesson 29: The Mathematics Behind a
Structured Savings Plan
• SERIES: Let 𝑎1 , 𝑎2 , 𝑎3 , 𝑎4 , … be a sequence of numbers. A sum of the form
𝑎1 + 𝑎2 + 𝑎3 + ⋯ + 𝑎𝑛
for some positive integer 𝑛 is called a series (or finite series) and is denoted 𝑆𝑛 .
The 𝑎𝑖 ’s are called the terms of the series. The number 𝑆𝑛 that the series adds
to is called the sum of the series.
• GEOMETRIC SERIES: A geometric series is a series whose terms form a geometric
sequence.
Since a geometric sequence is of the form 𝑎, 𝑎𝑟, 𝑎𝑟 2 , 𝑎𝑟 3 , …, the general form
of a finite geometric sequence is of the form
𝑆𝑛 = 𝑎 + 𝑎𝑟 + 𝑎𝑟 2 + ⋯ + 𝑎𝑟 𝑛−1 .

Lesson 30: Buying a Car
• Students derive a formula for the monthly payment on a car
loan using the formula for the sum of a finite geometric series.
• Students complete an open-ended modeling task where they
research the price of a potential car purchase and from there
calculate their loan.
• Students realize there is more to consider when purchasing a
car than just the selling price.

Lesson 31: Credit Cards
You have charged $𝟏, 𝟓𝟎𝟎 for the down
payment on your car to a credit card that
charges 𝟏𝟗. 𝟗𝟗% annual interest, and you
plan to pay a fixed amount toward this debt
each month until it is paid off. We will
denote the balance owed after the 𝒏th
payment has been made as 𝒃𝒏 .

Lesson 32: Buying a House
Can you buy the house you have chosen on the salary of the career you have
chosen? You need to adhere to the following constraints:
• Mortgages are loans that are usually offered with 𝟑𝟎-, 𝟐𝟎-, or 𝟏𝟓-year
repayment options. You will start with a 𝟑𝟎-year mortgage.
• The annual interest rate for your mortgage will be 𝟓%.
• Your payment includes the payment of the loan for the house and
payments into an account called an escrow account, which is used to pay
for taxes and insurance on your home. We will approximate the annual
payment to escrow as 𝟏. 𝟐% of the home’s selling price.
• The bank will only approve a mortgage if the total monthly payment for
your house, including the payment to the escrow account, does not
exceed 𝟑𝟎% of your monthly salary.
• You have saved up enough money to put a 𝟏𝟎% down payment on this
house.

Lesson 33: The Million Dollar Problem
• How can I accumulate $1,000,000 in assets?
• Students apply knowledge from the previous lessons to
explore this question.
• Students consider savings, property which generally
appreciates in value, and vehicles which depreciate in value.

Key Points – Topic E
• Geometric sequences and series are prevalent in finance
calculations.
• Good modeling problems are often open-ended and
sometimes messy!

Key Points – End-of-Module Assessment
• End of Module assessment are designed to assess all standards
of the module (at least at the cluster level) with an emphasis
on assessing thoroughly those presented in the second half of
the module.
• Recall, as much as possible, assessment items are designed to
asses the standards while emulating PARCC Type 2 and Type 3
tasks.
• Recall, rubrics are designed to inform each district / school /
teacher as they make decisions about the use of assessments
in the assignment of grades.
