Independent Variable
Independent Variable
The variable that is changed or manipulated in an experiment. It's the input that affects the dependent variable.
Dependent Variable
Dependent Variable
The variable that is measured or observed in an experiment. It's the output that is affected by the independent variable.
Slope
Slope
The rate of change of a relationship between two variables. In a linear equation, it's the slope of the line.

Study Notes
Algebra 2 - Semester 1
-
Linear Regression (Problem 27):
- Convenience store sales of soft drinks were analyzed in relation to temperature.
- The data showed a positive correlation: higher temperatures correspond to higher sales.
- A linear regression model was used: Number of cans sold = 16.11 * Temperature - 637.85
- Independent variable: Temperature (°F)
- Dependent variable: Number of cans sold
-
Quadratic Functions (Problems 28-39):
- Factoring quadratic expressions: This involved identifying factors to rewrite expressions in the form of the product of two binomials/expressions.
- Problem 28 factors to -4x(4x-7)
- Problem 31 is not factorable using standard methods.
- Problem 34 factors to (5x + 4)(x + 3).
- Problem 37 factors to (x-3)(x-2).
-
Quadratic Equations (Problems 40–42):
- Solve by taking square roots: To find the values of 'x' when the quadratic is set equal to zero.
- Real solutions: When the solution is a real number.
- Imaginary solutions: When the solution is an imaginary number involving the square root of a negative number.
- For problem 40, x = ±2√2
- For problem 41, x = ±√(9/5)
- Problem 42 is factored to solve for x.
-
Quadratic Applications (Problem 43):
- Bacteria growth in refrigerated food: N(T) represents the number of bacteria at temperature T (degrees Celsius). N(T) = T2 - 20T + 120.
- Minimum bacteria: The temperature that minimizes bacteria growth is found using the graph of N(T) or, in this case, 10°C.
-
Word Problems (Problems 44-45):
- Problem 44 deals with the height of an object thrown into the air as a function of time, calculated using the quadratic formula.
- Problem 45 involves a graph representing the height of a ball thrown in the air in relation to time. The y-intercept (point where t=0) represents the initial height of the ball.
