options: Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.

Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.

Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.

Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.

Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.

Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.

Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.

Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.

Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.

Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.
problem_activity: Problem 1
A business is marketing its product and has collected data on sales and prices for the past few years. The company, through careful modeling, has determined that their profit is dependent upon the selling price of the item and that it follows a quadratic model.
The function below describes the profit,
$$P$$
, dependent upon the selling price,
$$s$$
, of its product.
$$P(s)=-20s^2+1,400s-12,000$$
a.  Write the function in intercept form and identify the roots.
b.  Explain what the roots mean in context of the situation.
c.  Write the function in vertex form and identify the vertex.
d.  Explain what the vertex means in context of the situation.
Problem 2
The height,
$$h$$
, in feet, of a projectile launched upward from a bridge is given by
$$ h=-16t^2+16t+96$$
, where
$$t$$
is time in seconds.
Write the equation in vertex form.
How long does it take for the projectile to reach maximum height?
What is the maximum height of the projectile?
