    Study Notes

    Algebra Basics

    • Total value of apples (A at 15 cents) and bananas (B at 10 cents) is represented as 15A + 10B.
    • Simplifying the product of roots: √2 × √15 = √30.

    Polynomial Evaluation

    • Evaluate the expression 2x² + 3xy - 4y² for x = 2 and y = -4 results in -80.

    Geometry and Area

    • The area of the shaded region between two concentric circles with radii R and R-3 is represented as πR² - π(R - 3)².

    Expanding Binomials

    • The square of the binomial (3x - 2y)² expands to 9x² - 12xy + 4y².

    Rational Expressions

    • For the expression (x² - x - 6)/(x² - 4) with x > 2, the simplified form is (x-3)/(x-2).

    Simple Arithmetic

    • The calculation 4 - (-6)/-5 results in -2.

    Solving Linear Equations

    • Solving the equation 2x - 3(x + 4) = -5 gives x = -7.

    Simplifying Expressions

    • For the expression -3(5 - 6) - 4(2 - 3), the result is 7.

    Solving Inequalities

    • The inequality 20 - (4/5)x ≥ 16 is equivalent to x ≤ 5.

    Ordering Numbers

    • The correct ordering of the numbers from least to greatest is -3/5, -1/3, 2/3, 3/5.

    Solving for Variables

    • For the equation 5t + 2 = 6, the solution for t is 4/5.

    Quadratic Equations

    • The equation that has solutions x = 5 and x = -5 is x² - 25 = 0.

    Combining Rational Expressions

    • For the expression u/x + 5u/x - u/5x, the simplified result is 29u/5x.
