Study Notes
Key Algebraic Concepts
- Equivalent: Indicates two expressions or values that are equal in amount or value.
- Equivalent Equations: Equations that yield the same solution; they are equal to each other.
Properties of Equality
- Addition Property of Equality: Adding the same number to both sides of an equation results in an equivalent equation (e.g., x - 3 = 2 becomes x = 5).
- Subtraction Property of Equality: Subtracting the same number from both sides maintains equivalence (e.g., x - 3 = 2 becomes x = 5).
- Multiplication Property of Equality: Multiplying both sides of an equation by a nonzero number yields an equivalent equation (e.g., x/3 = 2 becomes x = 6).
- Division Property of Equality: Dividing both sides of an equation by the same nonzero number maintains equality (e.g., 5x = 20 becomes x = 4).
Key Terminology
- Isolate: To separate a variable in an equation to solve for it.
- Inverse: Refers to opposite operations, which can undo each other (e.g., addition and subtraction).
- Inverse Operation: The operation that reverses or cancels another (e.g., multiplication vs. division).
- Combine: To join different quantities together.
Terms Related to Variables
- Like Terms: Terms containing the same variable and power (e.g., 12xy^5 and -5xy^5 are like terms; 12xy^5 and -5xy^3 are not).
- Literal Equation: An equation involving two or more variables that is solved for one variable in terms of others.
Quantities and Relationships
- Quantity: Refers to an amount or how much of something.
- Formula: An equation that illustrates a relationship among different quantities or variables.
- Ratio: A comparison of two quantities expressed through division (e.g., a/b, a:b).
- Rate: A special type of ratio comparing quantities in different units.
- Unit Rate: A ratio that has a denominator of one unit.
Conversion Concepts
- Convert: The act of changing from one unit or form to another.
- Unit Analysis: The process of checking units in calculations to ensure they make sense.
Proportions and Scale
- Proportion: An equation showing that two ratios are equal (e.g., a/b = c/d).
- Similar Figures: Shapes that have the same shape but different sizes, denoted with the symbol ~.
- Scale: The ratio between two sets of dimensions, often used in models or drawings.
- Scale Drawing: A representation of an object that is not to scale but maintains the same proportions.
- Scale Model: A three-dimensional representation that is proportional to the actual object.
Percent Changes and Errors
- Percent Change: The amount of change represented as a percentage of the original amount, calculated using: p% = (amount of change)/(original amount).
- Percent Increase: A change that is greater than the original amount, expressed as a percentage.
- Percent Decrease: A change that is less than the original amount, expressed as a percentage.
- Relative Error: The absolute difference between a measured value and an actual value, compared to the actual value.
- Percent Error: The relative error expressed as a percentage, providing insight into accuracy.
