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
