Study Notes
System of Equations
- Comprises 2 or more equations linked by the AND truth condition.
Solutions to a System of Equations
- Represented as a point (x, y) that satisfies all equations in the system.
Solving a System of Equations Graphically
- Involves finding the intersection point of the two graphs, where both equations are true for x and y.
Substitution Method
- Solve one equation for x or y, if not already isolated.
- Substitute the derived value into the other equation to find the remaining variable.
Elimination Method
- Select a multiple to eliminate a variable when equations are added.
- Apply the Multiplication Property of Equality to modify one or both equations, creating a new system conducive to eliminating a variable.
Equals Substitution
- Equals can always be substituted for equals, maintaining the integrity of equations.
Multiplication Property of Equality
- Allows multiplication or division of both sides of an equation by the same non-zero quantity without altering the equality.
Solving a System of Inequalities Graphically
- Requires finding the intersection of the two shaded regions represented by the inequalities.
Solutions to a System of Inequalities
- Identified by a point (x, y) that satisfies all inequalities, lying within the overlapping shaded area.
Slope-Intercept Form of a Line
- Generally expressed as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
linSolve on TI-nSpire
- Access via menu: 3, then select 2 for solving systems of equations using the TI-nSpire calculator.
Finding Intersection Points on TI-nSpire
- Use the graph page: navigate to menu 8, then select 1 and 3 after clicking on both graphs.
Graphing an Inequality on TI-nSpire
- In the equation box, remove the equality sign (=) to properly graph the inequality.
