Study Notes

Rounding Numbers

Rounding to a specific number of significant figures involves considering the next digit after the desired significant figures
If the next digit is greater than or equal to 5, round the last significant figure up
Example: Rounding 35123 to 4 significant figures requires considering the 5th significant figure (3), which is less than 5, so the answer is 35120.

Simplifying Expressions

Fractions: Simplify by cancelling common factors in numerator and denominator
Exponents: Apply the laws of exponents for multiplication, division, and raising to a power.

Rationalizing the Denominator

Eliminate radicals from the denominator of a fraction by multiplying both numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator
The conjugate of a binomial expression is obtained by changing the sign of the second term

Factorizing Expressions

Common Factor: Identify and factor out the greatest common factor from all terms
Difference of Two Squares: Recognize and apply the formula (a^2 - b^2) = (a + b)(a - b)
Quadratic Expressions: Factorize by finding two numbers that multiply to the constant term and add up to the coefficient of the middle term

Solving Equations

Linear Equations: Solve for the unknown variable by isolating it using inverse operations.
Simultaneous Equations: Use elimination or substitution methods to solve for multiple variables.
Quadratic Equations: Solve using factoring, completing the square, or the quadratic formula.

Simplifying Algebraic Fractions

Factorization: Factor both numerator and denominator to identify common factors.
Cancellation: Cancel common factors from both numerator and denominator.
Multiplication and Division: Apply the rules of fraction multiplication and division to simplify expressions.

Scientific Notation

Standard form of a number: 1 ≤ α < 10 and k ∈ Z.
Example: 30,000,000 in scientific notation is 3 x 10^7

Operations in Scientific Notation

Multiplication: Multiply the coefficients and add the exponents.
Division: Divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents.

Set Notation

N: Natural numbers (positive integers).
Z: Integers (positive, negative, and zero).
Q: Rational numbers (can be expressed as a fraction).
R: Real numbers (including rational and irrational numbers).
