Number Representation and Arithmetic Operations

Conventionally, when multiplying a number by a letter, the number is written first, followed by the letter, with the multiplication symbol omitted.
Multiplication can be represented by a dot. For example, 2 x 30.5 = 30.5 x 2.
The sign of the result of multiplication depends on the signs of the multiplier and multiplicand.
In division, the number being divided is called the dividend, the number dividing it is the divisor, and the result is the quotient.
The quotient represents how many times the divisor "fits" into the dividend. A remainder may exist if the divisor does not divide the dividend evenly.
An arithmetic expression involves numbers, operation signs, and possibly brackets. Operations are performed in a specific order:
- Operations within brackets are done first.
- Multiplication and division are performed next.
- Additions and subtractions are performed last.

Multiplication Properties

Multiplication is characterized by commutative, associative, dissociative, and distributive properties.
The commutative property states that changing the order of factors does not change the product. For example 6 ⋅ 3 = 3 ⋅ 6 = 18.
The associative property states that when multiplying two or more factors, replacing their product does not change the result.

Weight and Time Measures

Weight is calculated using the formula: weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity (g), where g = 9.81 m/s².
Weight is affected by the gravitational force of a planet, while mass remains constant.
Different countries use different measurement systems.

Scale, Latitude, and Longitude

The scale on a map represents the ratio between actual distances and distances represented on the map.
Latitude measures a place's north or south distance from the equator, expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds.
Longitude measures a place's east or west distance from a reference meridian (Greenwich Meridian), also expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds.
Latitude and longitude are determined by observing the position of the sun at a specific time and day.

Algebraic Fractions

To multiply algebraic fractions:
- Factor the numerators and denominators.
- Eliminate common factors.
- Multiply the numerators and denominators.
To divide algebraic fractions:
- Multiply the first fraction by the inverse of the second fraction.
- Factor the numerators and denominators.
- Eliminate common factors.
- Multiply the numerators and denominators.

Basic Fractions Laws

Simplifying a fraction involves only multiplication and division; it cannot be applied to sums or subtractions.
Dividing a fraction by another fraction is equivalent to multiplying the numerator fraction by the inverse of the denominator fraction.
The denominator of a fraction cannot be zero; this would result in an undefined or infinite value.
To raise an algebraic fraction to a power, raise both the numerator and denominator to that power.

Solving Fractional Equations

To solve fractional equations, manipulate them to eliminate fractions, and then apply standard equation solving techniques.

Solving Quadratic Equations

Quadratic equations can have two solutions.
If the equation is factored as (x + a)(x + b) = 0, then the solutions are x = -a and x = -b.
If the equation is in the form ax² + bx + c = 0, use the quadratic formula to find the solutions.

Binary and Decimal Numbers

The decimal notation uses ten digits (0-9) to represent numbers.
The binary notation uses two digits (0 and 1) to represent numbers.
Every binary digit (bit) represents a power of 2, using the fundamental equation for representing numbers.
Digital electronic devices use the binary notation.

Converting Numbers Between Decimal and Binary

To convert a binary number to decimal, use the fundamental equation with b = 2.
To convert a decimal number to binary, repeatedly divide the decimal number by 2, noting the remainders. The remainders, read in reverse order, form the binary equivalent.
