Study Notes

Rational Numbers

  • A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction.
  • Examples of rational numbers: 1/2, 3, 0.5, 2/7

Simplifying Expressions

  • Rationalizing the denominator of √2+1 / √2-1 involves multiplying both numerator and denominator by √2+1 resulting in (√2+1)² / (√2)² - 1² = 3 + 2√2

Exponents and Multiplication

  • (25) × (5) = 125
  • (25) × (24) = 600

Algebraic Identities

  • If a + b + c = 0, then a² + b² + c² = 2(ab + ac + bc)
  • If 49x² - b = (7x + √b)(7x - √b), then b = 49
  • If (x + 5) is a factor of x² - 20x + 5k, then k = -25

Angles and Geometry

  • Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
  • An angle that is 140° more than its complementary angle is 110 degrees.
  • If in quadrilateral ABCD, ∠A = 90° and AB = BC = CA = DA, then ABCD is a square.

Polynomials

  • The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial.
  • The coefficient of x in the polynomial p(x) = x³ + x² + x + 1 is 1.

Finding Values

  • If (x - 1) = 8, x = 9.
  • The complement of 30 degrees is 60 degrees.
  • (2 - √2)(2 + √2) = 4 - 2 = 2, which is a rational number.
  • If (3³/2)³/2 = 81, then x = 4.

Factoring Expressions

  • x³ + 27 = (x + 3)(x² - 3x + 9)
  • x² + 6√x + 27 = (√x + 3)²
  • x² + 7x + 12 = (x + 3)(x + 4)
  • 7m²n - 7mn = 7mn(m - 1)
