Study Notes

Algebra

  • Definition: A branch of mathematics dealing with symbols and the rules for manipulating those symbols.
  • Key Concepts:
    • Variables: Symbols (like x, y) that represent unknown values.
    • Expressions: Combinations of variables and constants (e.g., 3x + 5).
    • Equations: Statements that two expressions are equal (e.g., 2x + 3 = 11).
    • Inequalities: Mathematical statements that relate expressions using <, >, ≤, or ≥.
  • Operations:
    • Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division of algebraic expressions.
    • Factoring: Breaking down expressions into products (e.g., x² - 9 = (x - 3)(x + 3)).
    • Solving equations and inequalities: Finding value(s) of variables that satisfy them.
  • Functions:
    • Definition: A relation where each input has exactly one output.
    • Types: Linear, quadratic, polynomial, exponential, logarithmic functions.
    • Graphing: Visual representation of functions on a coordinate plane.

Geometry

  • Definition: A branch of mathematics concerned with the properties and relations of points, lines, surfaces, and solids.
  • Key Concepts:
    • Points, Lines, and Angles:
      • Point: A location in space.
      • Line: A straight path that extends infinitely in both directions.
      • Angle: Formed by two rays with a common endpoint.
    • Shapes:
      • Two-dimensional: Circles, triangles, squares, rectangles.
      • Three-dimensional: Cubes, spheres, cylinders, cones.
  • Properties:
    • Perimeter: The distance around a shape.
    • Area: The amount of space inside a shape (e.g., Area of a rectangle = length × width).
    • Volume: The amount of space inside a solid (e.g., Volume of a cube = side³).
  • Theorems:
    • Pythagorean Theorem: In right triangles, a² + b² = c² (where c is the hypotenuse).
    • Similarity and Congruence: Conditions under which figures are similar or congruent.
  • Coordinate Geometry:
    • Uses algebraic principles to analyze geometric figures using a coordinate plane.
    • Equations of lines: Slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).

Algebra

  • Algebra is a mathematical discipline that manipulates symbols to represent numbers and relationships.
  • Variables (e.g., x, y) serve as placeholders for unknown values within equations and expressions.
  • Expressions are formed by combining variables and constants, such as 3x + 5.
  • Equations assert the equality of two expressions, for example, 2x + 3 = 11.
  • Inequalities compare expressions using symbols such as <, ≤, or ≥ to express relationships.
  • Core operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of algebraic expressions.
  • Factoring is the process of expressing an equation as a product of its factors, like x² - 9 = (x - 3)(x + 3).
  • Solutions to equations and inequalities involve finding specific values for the variables that make the statements true.
  • Functions are relations that assign exactly one output for each input, encompassing linear, quadratic, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic types.
  • Graphing functions visually represents their behavior in a coordinate plane, providing insights into their properties.

Geometry

  • Geometry is the study of shapes and their spatial properties, focusing on points, lines, surfaces, and solids.
  • Points represent specific locations in space, while lines are infinite straight paths extending in both directions.
  • Angles result from the intersection of two rays sharing a common starting point.
  • Two-dimensional shapes include circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles; three-dimensional shapes include cubes, spheres, cylinders, and cones.
  • Perimeter measures the total distance around a two-dimensional shape.
  • Area quantifies the space enclosed within a shape, e.g., the area of a rectangle is calculated using length × width.
  • Volume assesses the space within a three-dimensional solid, with the volume of a cube determined by side³.
  • The Pythagorean Theorem relates the sides of right triangles with the formula a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse.
  • Theorems of similarity and congruence establish criteria for determining whether figures are similar in shape or congruent in dimensions.
  • Coordinate geometry integrates algebra with geometry, using a coordinate plane to analyze geometrical shapes and derive equations for lines, typically in slope-intercept form y = mx + b.
