Study Notes
Simplifying Expressions
- Simplification involves distributing and combining like terms, which are terms with identical variables and exponents.
Solving Linear Equations
- Isolate the variable using inverse operations to solve linear equations effectively.
Graphing Linear Equations Techniques
- Utilize a table of values by substituting two numbers for x and calculating the corresponding y values.
- Familiarize with key equation formats: slope-intercept form, standard form, and point-slope form.
Slope-Intercept Form for Linear Equations
- The equation is expressed as Y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b the y-intercept.
- Steps include plotting the y-intercept followed by using the slope (rise/run) to determine additional points.
Standard Form of a Linear Equation
- Presented as Ax + By = C.
- Convert this form into slope-intercept form by rearranging terms to solve for y.
Point-Slope Form for Graphing
- Expressed as y - y1 = m(x - x1).
- Example: In y - 1 = 3(x - 2), simplifying yields y = 3x - 5.
Absolute Value
- Represents the distance from zero on a number line.
- Absolute value equations yield two potential solutions, except when the expression equals zero, which results in one solution.
- No solutions occur for negative distances, e.g., |x| = -3 has no valid answers.
- Example equation: |2x - 3| = 7 leads to two cases: 2x - 3 = 7 and 2x - 3 = -7, resulting in x = -2 and x = 5.
Graphing Absolute Value Functions
- The graph of y = |x| displays a V-shape.
- The equation y = -|x| produces a downward V-shape.
- Standard form: y = a|x - h| + k; a affects the slope, (h,k) denotes the vertex, with the x-value reversed in the equation.
- Example transformations: y = |x + 1| - 3 can be seen as moving the graph left and down.
Story Problem Solving
- The method should focus on determining the collaborative time it takes for tasks to be completed together.
Solving and Graphing Absolute Value Inequalities
- Maintain the sign of the first equation while changing the sign and end number in the second equation.
- Graphs use open circles to indicate non-inclusive values and closed circles for inclusive values in inequalities.
- A squiggly line in the middle of the graph represents possible answers.
- When manipulating inequalities by multiplying or dividing by a negative, the inequality sign must be reversed.
- Example inequality: |2x + 3| - 4 requires proper treatment of the absolute value and resulting equations.
