Study Notes
Algebraic Expressions and Equations
- A fraction with polynomials as numerator and denominator is termed a Rational Algebraic Expression.
- Consistent systems of equations yield Intersecting Lines, while Parallel Lines indicate an inconsistent system.
- Dependent systems possess Infinite Solutions.
Operations with Polynomial Expressions
- Factoring is considered the reverse of multiplication.
- The factors of the expression 36m⁴ - 121e² are represented as ((6m² - 11e)(6m² + 11e)).
- The method of Substitution is ideal for solving systems like (2x + 3y = 11) and (x = 2y + 2).
Special Polynomial Forms
- The difference of two cubes is exhibited in m³ - 8.
- The factorization of (x³ + 1000) results in ((x + 10)(x² - 10x + 100)).
- A Perfect Square Trinomial refers to the square of a binomial.
Simplification Techniques
- The expression ((x - 3)/(x - 3)) simplifies to 1.
- Simplifying ((x + 5)² (x + 5)) results in (x + 5).
- Division of (15x³/4) by (15x/8) yields 2x².
- The simplification of ((x² - 1)/(x² + 2x + 1) × (15x/3x)) results in ((x - 1) / 5(x + 1)).
Linear Equations
- Adding the fractions ((x + 9)/(x² - 9) + 2/(x - 3)) leads to (3(x + 5)/(x + 3)(x - 3)).
- Subtracting yields ((9x²)/(3x - 1) - 1/(3x - 1) = 3x + 1).
- The general formula for a line is (y = mx + b), with slope (m) and y-intercept (b).
Graphing and Geometry
- The coordinates of the point of origin are ((0,0)).
- The graph of a linear equation with two variables, such as those in common forms, results in a Straight Line.
- The Slope is defined as the ratio of vertical rise to horizontal run.
Systems of Equations and Solutions
- The equivalent system to the word problem involving farm animals can be described with (x + y = 10) and (4x + 2y = 26).
- The solution to this system indicates there are 3 goats and 7 ducks.
- For the given equations (x + y = 3) and (x - y = 1), the solution is ((2, 1)).
Famous Mathematicians and Theories
- Rene Descartes was the influential French mathematician known for introducing the Cartesian Plane.
- The length of a rectangle given area (4x² + 5x - 6) and width (x + 2) is determined to be (4x - 3).
Additional Facts
- Factoring is a vital skill in simplifying polynomial expressions and solving equations.
- The equation of a line can be determined from points given: e.g., the line through ((2, -1)) with slope (2) is (y = 2x - 5).
Key Problem-Solving Methods
- The Elimination Method is recommended for systems like (x + y = 3) and (x - y = 1).
- Simplification techniques and inspections of polynomial forms can greatly enhance the understanding of algebraic expressions.
