Study Notes

Translating Sentences into Equations

  • Translate word problems into algebraic equations
  • Use variables to represent unknown quantities

Solving Equations Using Multiplication and Division

  • Solve equations by isolating the variable
  • Apply the properties of equality to simplify equations

Solving Equations Using the Distributive Property

  • Simplify expressions by distributing a factor
  • Combine like terms after applying the distributive property

Solving Absolute Value Equations

  • Isolating the absolute value expression
  • Consider cases where expressions can be positive or negative

Graphing Linear Functions Using Intercepts

  • The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis
  • The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis
  • Use the intercepts to plot two points and draw the line

Calculating and Interpreting Rate of Change

  • Rate of change represents how much one value changes in relation to another
  • Calculate it using the difference of y-values divided by the difference of x-values

Rewriting Linear Equations in Slope-Intercept Form

  • Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept
  • Rewrite equations by isolating 'y' on one side

Graphing and Interpreting Linear Functions

  • Graph linear functions using the slope and y-intercept
  • Interpret the meaning of the slope and y-intercept in a real-world context

Applying the Arithmetic Sequence Formula

  • Arithmetic sequences have a constant common difference
  • The formula is a(n) = a(1) + (n - 1)d, where a(n) is the nth term, a(1) is the first term, n is the term number, and d is the common difference

Writing and Graphing Piecewise Defined Functions

  • Piecewise functions have different rules for different intervals of the domain
  • Graph each piece of the function separately, using closed or open circles at the endpoints depending on the inequality

Graphing Absolute Value Functions and Applying Translations

  • The graph of y = |x| is a V-shaped graph
  • Translations can shift the graph up, down, left, or right

Writing an Equation of a Line in Slope-Intercept Form Given Two Points

  • Calculate the slope using the two points
  • Use the slope and one point to find the y-intercept

Creating and Identifying Equations of Parallel or Perpendicular Lines

  • Parallel lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts
  • Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other

Constructing the Inverses of Relations

  • The inverse of a relation switches the x and y coordinates of each point.
  • Graph the inverse by reflecting the original graph over the line y = x

Solving and Graphing Linear Inequalities Containing the Word "And"

  • Solve each inequality separately
  • The solution is the intersection of the solution sets of each inequality

Solving Proportions

  • A proportion is an equation stating that two ratios are equal
  • Solve using cross-multiplication

Solving Equations for Specific Variables

  • Isolate the desired variable on one side of the equation by using inverse operations

Calculating and Interpreting Slope

  • Slope measures the steepness of a line
  • Positive slopes indicate an upward trend, negative slopes indicate a downward trend

Constructing Arithmetic Sequences

  • Identify the common difference between consecutive terms
  • Use this common difference to generate additional terms in the sequence

Writing Equations of Lines in Point-Slope Form

  • Point-slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where 'm' is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.
  • Use a point and the slope to write the equation

Solving Multi-Step Linear Inequalities

  • Follow similar steps as solving equations
  • Remember to reverse the inequality symbol when multiplying or dividing by a negative value

Solving Linear Inequalities Containing the Word "Or"

  • Solve each inequality separately
  • The solution is the union of the solution sets of each inequality
