    Study Notes

    Algebra Concepts

    • Slope Intercept Equation: Defined by the formula (y = mx + b), where (m) is the slope and (b) is the y-intercept.
    • Perfect Square: Result from multiplying a number by itself.
    • Inequality Symbol: Indicates greater than (>) or less than (<).
    • Constant: A value that remains unchanged.
    • Intersect: Point where lines meet in the context of a system of equations.

    Mathematical Functions and Terms

    • Square Root: The number that, when multiplied by itself, yields a given product.
    • Vertical Line Test: A method to determine if a relation qualifies as a function by checking if any vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point.
    • Inverse Operations: Operations that cancel each other out (e.g., addition and subtraction).
    • System of Equations: Composed of two or more equations to solve simultaneously.
    • Negative Exponent: Indicates the reciprocal of the base raised to the corresponding positive exponent.

    Graphing Inequalities

    • Closed Circle: Used in graphing when an inequality includes equality (≥ or ≤).
    • Dotted Line: Represents inequalities that exclude equality ( (> ) or (<)).
    • Solid Line: Indicates that the inequality includes equality in graphing.

    Problem Solving Techniques

    • FOIL Method: Acronym for First, Outside, Inside, Last; a technique for multiplying two binomials.
    • Solutions: Values that satisfy an equation.
    • Elimination and Substitution: Two primary methods for solving systems of equations.

    Types of Numbers and Operations

    • Monomial: A single term expression.
    • Polynomial: Composed of one or more terms, connected by addition or subtraction.
    • Coefficient: A number that multiplies a variable.
    • Reciprocal: An inverted form of a fraction.
    • Exponent: Indicates the number of times a base is multiplied by itself.

    Lines and Angles

    • Slope: Measures the steepness of a line; calculated as rise over run.
    • Y-intercept: The point where a line crosses the y-axis.
    • Hypotenuse: The longest side of a right triangle, opposite the right angle.
    • Zero and Undefined Slopes: Zero slope refers to horizontal lines; undefined slope refers to vertical lines.

    Algebraic Identities and Properties

    • Identity: Equations that hold true for every possible variable value.
    • Greatest Common Factor (GCF): The largest number that divides a set of numbers evenly.
    • Least Common Multiple (LCM): The smallest number that is a multiple of given numbers.

    Additional Concepts

    • Rise/Run: Provides a way to calculate slope based on vertical and horizontal movement between two points.
    • Trinomial and Binomial: A trinomial has three terms, while a binomial has two, both connected by addition or subtraction.
    • Pythagorean Theorem: Relates the sides of a right triangle through the formula (c^2 = a^2 + b^2).
