    Study Notes

    Algebra Concepts and Operations

    • Factoring: The expression 9y² + 36y + 35 factors to (3y + 7)(3y + 5).
    • Linear vs Non-linear: The equation 6/x + 14 = 40 is classified as non-linear. An equation like y = 2x - 3 is linear, while y = x² + x + 4 is non-linear, forming a parabola due to the exponent on x being greater than one.

    Solving Equations

    • To solve the equation 3(2y + 3) = 3 - 2(y - 3), the solution is y = 0.
    • In expressions like 3 less than three times the sum of a number and four, it translates to the algebraic expression 3(x + 4) - 2.
    • For the problem stating that one number is 3 more than twice another, if their sum is 27, the two numbers are determined to be 8 and 19.

    Complex Numbers

    • To multiply (9√7 - 4√6)(√7 + 3√6), the result is 23√42 - 9.
    • Simplifying the expression (9 - 8i) - (-4 + 6i) results in the complex number 13 - 14i.
    • The expression √-1 + 7√-9 translates to 7√2i in a + bi form.

    Equations and Geometrical Concepts

    • The relationship stating the product of a number and 5 being equal to 4 less than the quotient of that number divided by 2 yields the equation 5x = x/2 - 4.
    • For a rectangle with a perimeter of 108m, where the length is 6 meters longer than twice the width, the dimensions result in width of 16m and length of 38m.

    Complex Conjugates and Quadratic Formula

    • The complex conjugate of 5 + 3i is 5 - 3i, and their product equals 34.
    • Using the quadratic formula on the equation 5x² + 18x - 8 = 0 yields solutions of -1 - i√39 / 10 and -1 + i√39 / 10.
    • For the quadratic equation 2x² - 16x + 32 = 0, the discriminant is 0, indicating there is one real solution.

    Additional Calculations

    • The solution to the sum of the square of a positive number and the square of two more than that number equating to 130 is the number 7.
