Study Notes

Key Algebra Concepts

Slope Formula: The slope of a line defined as ( \frac{Y2 - Y1}{X2 - X1} ).
Slope Intercept Form: A linear equation represented as ( y = mx + b ), where ( m ) is the slope and ( b ) is the y-intercept.
Standard Form: Linear equations written in the format ( Ax + By = C ).
Point Slope Form: Equation of a line expressed as ( y - y1 = m(x - x1) ).
Vertex Form: Quadratic functions shown in the format ( y = a(x - h) + k ).

Slope Calculations

Slope of Line through points (-4,6) and (8,-2): Calculated to be 1.
Slope of Line through points (2,5) and (4,6): Slope equals ( \frac{1}{2} ).
Vertical Line Slope: The slope is undefined; its equation is of the form ( x = \text{constant} ).
Horizontal Line Slope: The slope equals 0; its equation is of the form ( y = \text{constant} ).

Line Relationships

Parallel Lines: Lines with the same slope (e.g., slope of ( y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3 ) is ( \frac{1}{2} )).
Perpendicular Lines: Lines that have slopes that are negative reciprocals (e.g., perpendicular slope to ( y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3 ) is -2).
Y-Intercept Calculation: For ( y = -4x + 6 ), the y-intercept is 6.
Slope Calculation: For ( y = -4x + 6 ), the slope is -4.

Systems of Equations

Intersection Point Meaning: The point where two lines intersect represents the solution of a system of equations.
No Solution Scenario: When lines are parallel, indicated by their slopes being equal, they do not intersect.
Infinite Solutions Scenario: Occurs when both lines are identical, represented by the same equation.

Mathematical Expressions

Ticket Sales Representation: Two equations can model ticket count and pricing for a concert.
Length vs. Width Expressions:
- "Length is 3 less than 5 times the width": ( L = 5W - 3 )
- "Length is 2 less than ( \frac{1}{2} ) of the width": ( L = \frac{1}{2}W - 2 )

Perimeter Equations

Perimeter Equation for Rectangle (P = 25 in., L = 3 less than 4W): ( 25 = 2W + 2(4W - 3) ).
Perimeter Equation for Rectangle (P = 15 in., L = 1 less than ( \frac{1}{3} )W): ( 15 = 2W + 2(\frac{1}{3}W - 1) ).

Polynomial Terminology

Standard Form in Polynomials: Arrangement from highest to lowest degree.
Degrees of Polynomials:
- Degree 1: Linear
- Degree 2: Quadratic
- Degree 3: Cubic
- Degree 4: Quartic
Types of Polynomials:
- One-term: Monomial
- Two-terms: Binomial
- Three-terms: Trinomial

Areas and Common Factors

Area of Rectangle: Given by the formula ( \text{Length} \times \text{Width} ).
Greatest Common Factor:
- For ( 16x - 12 ): GCF is 4.
- For ( 15xyz + 10xy - 25xz ): GCF is ( 5x ).

Graphing Solutions

Shading Regions:
- For ( Y > 3x ): Shade above the line to represent feasible solutions.
- Other inequalities will similarly dictate where to shade based on their respective boundaries.
