    Study Notes

    Equations

    • An equation is a statement that says two expressions are equal
    • It consists of two parts: the left-hand side (LHS) and the right-hand side (RHS)
    • The goal is to solve for the variable (usually represented by a letter) by isolating it on one side of the equation
    • Types of equations:
      • Linear equations: degree of the variable is 1 (e.g., 2x + 3 = 5)
      • Quadratic equations: degree of the variable is 2 (e.g., x^2 + 4x + 4 = 0)
      • Simple equations: can be solved in one step (e.g., 2x = 6)

    Area of a Rectangle

    • The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length and width
    • Formula: Area = Length x Width
    • Unit of measurement: square units (e.g., square meters, square feet)
    • Example: If a rectangle has a length of 5cm and a width of 3cm, the area is 5cm x 3cm = 15cm^2

    Perimeter of a Rectangle

    • The perimeter of a rectangle is the distance around the outside of the shape
    • Formula: Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)
    • Unit of measurement: linear units (e.g., meters, feet)
    • Example: If a rectangle has a length of 5cm and a width of 3cm, the perimeter is 2(5cm + 3cm) = 2 x 8cm = 16cm

    Equations

    • Equations are statements that equate two expressions
    • They consist of a left-hand side (LHS) and a right-hand side (RHS)
    • The goal is to isolate the variable on one side of the equation
    • There are different types of equations, including:
      • Linear equations with a degree of 1
      • Quadratic equations with a degree of 2
      • Simple equations solvable in one step

    Area of a Rectangle

    • The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length and width
    • The formula for the area is: Area = Length x Width
    • The unit of measurement for area is square units (e.g., square meters, square feet)
    • Example: a rectangle with a length of 5cm and a width of 3cm has an area of 5cm x 3cm = 15cm^2

    Perimeter of a Rectangle

    • The perimeter of a rectangle is the distance around the outside of the shape
    • The formula for the perimeter is: Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)
    • The unit of measurement for perimeter is linear units (e.g., meters, feet)
    • Example: a rectangle with a length of 5cm and a width of 3cm has a perimeter of 2(5cm + 3cm) = 2 x 8cm = 16cm

    Equations

    • An equation is a statement that says two expressions are equal
    • Equations can be linear or non-linear, with linear equations having the form: ax + by = c
    • Solving an equation involves three steps: simplifying both sides, isolating the variable, and checking the solution

    Graphing

    • Graphing is a way to visualize equations on a coordinate plane with two axes: x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical)
    • A point on the plane is represented by an ordered pair (x, y)
    • Graphing involves creating a table of values, plotting points, and connecting them to form a curve or line

    Area of a Rectangle

    • The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length by the width: A = lw
    • Area is measured in square units (e.g. square meters, square feet)

    Perimeter of a Rectangle

    • The perimeter of a rectangle is the distance around the outside of the rectangle
    • Perimeter is calculated using the formula: P = 2l + 2w
    • Perimeter is measured in units (e.g. meters, feet)
