Study Notes

Binomial

  • A binomial is a polynomial with two terms
  • An example of a binomial is x^2 - 2y

Solving Equations

  • To rearrange an equation, you can multiply or divide both sides by the same number
  • To solve for x in the equation 9(x + 3) = 5(x - 4) + 3, first distribute the 9 and 5
  • To combine like terms, add 5x to both sides and subtract 27 from both sides
  • The solution to the equation is x = -11

Simplifying Expressions

  • To simplify an expression such as 11x^2 - x - 9 - 5x^2 - 6x + 4, you can combine like terms
  • Combine the x^2 terms, the x terms, and the constant terms
  • The simplified expression is 6x^2 - 7x - 5

Evaluating Expressions

  • To evaluate an expression, substitute a given value for the variable
  • To evaluate 7 - x + 3 when x = -20, substitute -20 for x
  • The result is 7 - (-20) + 3 = 30

Identities and Inconsistent Equations

  • An identity is an equation that is true for all values of the variable
  • An inconsistent equation is an equation that is never true, no matter what the value of the variable
  • The equation 3(3n + 1) - 5(n - 1) = 2(n + 3) + 2(n + 1) is an identity
  • To determine if an equation is an identity, simplify both sides of the equation
  • If both sides simplify to the same expression, then the equation is an identity

Applications

  • The expression 12t + 5 + 7 represents the volume of water in a tank after t minutes
  • To find the volume of water in the tank after 11 minutes, substitute t = 11 into the expression
  • The answer is 144, meaning that there are 144 gallons of water in the tank after 11 minutes
