North Carolina Standard Course of Study (NCSCOS) — North Carolina
EOC NC Math 3 domain (32-36% of the test, Table 1). Use the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra (N-CN.9); interpret and rewrite polynomial, rational, and exponential expressions (A-SSE); perform arithmetic on polynomials and rational expressions including the Remainder Theorem and zeros (A-APR); and create and solve equations, including logarithmic and rational equations (A-CED, A-REI). This NC Math 3 reporting domain maps to 22 practice skills and 8 representative questions from the playable bank.
North Carolina Standard Course of Study (NCSCOS) — North Carolina
North Carolina’s math assessments are state-developed EOG/EOC tests aligned to the North Carolina Standard Course of Study (NCSCOS) for Mathematics, adopted June 2016, rather than a shared multistate framework. The EOG Grades 3-8 Mathematics Test Specifications and the EOC NC Math 1 and NC Math 3 Test Specifications publish, in Table 1/Table 2, the range of total items by domain (the official domain weight distributions). The NCSCOS K-8 domains carry CCSS domain codes (NC.3.OA, NC.8.F, …) and are CCSS-derived; NC Math 1 and NC Math 3 are integrated high-school EOC courses whose standards carry NC.M1/NC.M3 conceptual-category codes (Number and Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Geometry, Statistics and Probability).
Published per-domain weight ranges come from the NC DPI EOG/EOC Mathematics Test Specifications (April 2026), Table 1/Table 2 (range of total items by domain). EOG grades 3-5 (Table 1): Operations and Algebraic Thinking 32-36% (g3) / 14-18% (g4) / 9-13% (g5); Number and Operations in Base Ten 9-13% / 25-29% / 25-29%; Number and Operations – Fractions 28-32% / 30-34% / 39-43%; Measurement and Data, Geometry 23-27% / 23-27% / 19-23%. EOG grades 6-8 (Table 2): Ratios and Proportional Relationships 24-28% (g6) / 24-28% (g7) / — (g8); The Number System 20-24% / 8-12% / —; Expressions and Equations 22-26% / 20-24% / —; The Number System, Expressions and Equations (combined) — / — / 24-28%; Functions — / — / 28-32%; Geometry 12-16% / 16-20% / 24-28%; Statistics and Probability 12-16% / 22-26% / 16-20%. EOC (Table 1): NC Math 1 — Number and Quantity and Algebra 36-40%, Functions 32-36%, Geometry 8-12%, Statistics and Probability 18-20%; NC Math 3 — Number and Quantity and Algebra 32-36%, Functions 32-36%, Geometry 20-24%, Statistics and Probability 8-12%.

Which is a factored form of ?
Find two numbers with product and sum : and . So .
If , what is
Factoring out the GCF gives . Since , . Isolate the desired expression by subtracting from both sides: .
What are all and only the zeros of the polynomial defined by ?
Group: . After factoring, set each linear factor equal to zero: ; ; . The zeros are , , and .
If , then
Cross-multiply to clear the fraction: , so . Collect like terms to get . Divide both sides by to obtain
If and what is the value of
Factor the numerator: . For , the factor cancels, giving , so
Which expression is equivalent to when and
Factor: for
