    Study Notes

    Algebra Concepts and Definitions

    • FOIL: Method to multiply two binomials; stands for first, outer, inner, last terms.
    • Point-Slope Form: Equation of a line expressed as (y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)), where (m) is the slope and ((x_1, y_1)) is a point on the line.
    • Absolute Value: Indicates the distance a number is from zero on a number line, always non-negative.
    • Real Numbers: The set that includes all rational (e.g., integers, fractions) and irrational numbers (e.g., square roots of non-perfect squares).
    • Rational Numbers: Numbers that can be represented as (a/b), where (a) and (b) are integers, and (b \neq 0); in decimal form, they either terminate or repeat.
    • Irrational Numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as the quotient of two integers; their decimal forms neither terminate nor repeat.
    • Symbol of Conclusion: Symbol that groups numbers, variables, and operations into a single term.
    • Square Roots: A number that, when multiplied by itself, yields a given product.
    • Probability: A measure reflecting how likely an event occurs, typically expressed as a percentage.
    • Distributive Property: A property that allows the multiplication of a term across a sum or difference within parentheses to simplify expressions.
    • Variable Expressions: Algebraic expressions that include letters representing numbers.
    • Translating Algebraic Expressions: The process of converting words into symbolic expressions to enhance understanding.
    • Combining Like Terms: The process of adding or subtracting terms that have identical variables or exponents.
    • One-Step Equations: Equations that can be solved in a single operation.
    • Graphing on a Coordinate Plane: The process of determining the orientation of a line (horizontal or vertical) and plotting it accurately.
    • Two-Step Equations: Equations requiring two steps to isolate the variable and find the solution.
    • Decimal Equations: Algebraic equations that include decimal numbers; converting fractions to decimals for easier solving is a common strategy.
    • Relations: Describes how two or more mathematical concepts interact or are connected.
    • Functions: Describe the role or output of a number in an algebraic expression.
    • Multi-Step Equations: Equations that require three or more operations to solve for the variable.
    • Misleading Representations of Data: Data that is distorted and does not accurately reflect true facts or statistics.
    • Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides: Requires elimination methods to isolate variables and resolve the equation.
    • Literal Equations: Equations where variables symbolize known quantities.
    • Graphic Function: A collection of ordered pairs representing a function visually.
    • Rates: Measurements that express a quantity in relation to another quantity.
    • Ratios: A quantitative comparison between two amounts reflecting how many times one value contains another.
    • Proportions: A statement that two ratios are equal, expressing a comparative relation to a whole.
    • Arithmetic Sequences: A sequence of numbers with a consistent difference between consecutive terms.
    • Intercepts: Points where a line crosses the axes, integral to understanding linear equations.
    • Scientific Notation: A method to express large or small numbers by using powers of ten, simplifying mathematical computations.
    • Power Property of Exponents: When multiplying like bases, sum the exponents.
    • Percent Problems: Involves expressing quantities as a fraction of 100.
    • Rational Expression: A fraction where both the numerator and/or denominator are polynomials.
    • Percent Change: The rate of increase or decrease represented as a percentage of the original amount.
    • Measure of Central Tendency: A statistic that represents the center of a data set, typically including the mean, median, and mode.
    • Slope-Intercept Form: The equation of a line written as (y = mx + b), where (m) is the slope and (b) is the y-intercept.
    • Polynomials: Expressions consisting of multiple terms combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
    • Linear Equation: An equation involving two variables that results in a straight line when plotted on a graph.
    • Direct Variation: A relationship where two variables change proportionally, typically expressed as (y = kx) where (k) is a constant.
