Study Notes

Algebraic Proofs and Properties

  • Algebraic proofs are used to justify the steps involved in solving algebraic equations.
  • Main algebraic properties include:
    • Reflexive Property: a = a for any number a.
    • Symmetric Property: If a = b, then b = a for any numbers a and b.
    • Transitive Property: If a = b and b = c, then a = c for any numbers a, b, and c.
    • Addition/Subtraction Property: If a = b, then a + c = b + c and a - c = b - c.
    • Multiplication/Division Property: If a = b, then ac = bc; if c ≠ 0, then a/c = b/c.
    • Substitution Property: If a = b, then a can be replaced by b in any equation or expression.
    • Distribution Property: a(b + c) = ab + ac for any numbers a, b, and c.

Application of Algebraic Proofs

  • Example of proof for the equation 6x + 2(x-1) = 30:
    • Uses distributive, substitution, addition, and division properties to find x = 4.
  • Example of proof for the equation 4x + 6/2 = 9:
    • Involves multiplication, substitution, and division properties leading to x = 3.
  • Example of proof for the equation 4x + 8 = x + 2:
    • Applies subtraction and division properties to solve for x = -2.

Geometric Proofs

  • Geometric proofs involve numbers as measures, employing properties to establish truth in statements.
  • Key geometric properties mirror algebraic properties:
    • Reflexive Property: For segments or angles, AB = AB and angle A = angle A.
    • Symmetric Property: For segments or angles, if AB = CD, then CD = AB; if angle A = angle B, then angle B = angle A.
    • Transitive Property: For segments or angles, if AB = CD and CD = EF, then AB = EF; similarly for angles.

Applications of Geometric Proofs

  • To prove relationships between angles:
    • Example: If angle 1 = angle 2 and angle 2 = angle 3, then angle 1 = angle 3 via transitive property.
    • Example: If angle 1 = 90 and angle 2 = angle 1, then angle 2 = 90 through substitution.
  • To establish equivalence of segments:
    • Example: If AB = CD, then 1/2AB = 1/2CD employs the multiplication property.

Formula and Area Proofs

  • For triangles, the area formula A = 1/2bh leads to proving that bh equals two times the area:
    • Start with A = 1/2bh and multiply both sides by 2 to derive 2A = bh.
