Study Notes
Mathematical Expressions and Terms
- Expression: A collection of numbers, variables, and operation signs without an equation sign.
- Variable: A letter or symbol representing an unknown number.
- Coefficient: A numerical value that multiplies a variable within an expression.
- Constant: A standalone number in an expression, without any variables.
- Term: A single number, variable, or combination of both multiplied together, separated by addition or subtraction signs.
Equations and Their Properties
- Equation: A statement consisting of two expressions set equal to each other, marked with an '=' sign.
- Example: In the equation
3x - 2 = 5, the coefficient is 3 and the constant is -2. - Example: In
4 + 9 + 5 + x = 2x, there are 4 terms on the left side.
Ratios and Distortion
- Ratios: A comparative measure highlighting the relationship between two quantities, expressed as a fraction, or in various formats such as a:b or a to b.
- Distortion: Occurs when a shape is modified without a consistent scale factor, affecting its proportions.
Improper Fractions and Evaluation
- Improper Fraction: A fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator, e.g.
14/5which simplifies to2 4/5. - Evaluating Expressions: Involves replacing variables with numbers and calculating the result, based on the order of operations.
Algebraic Expressions
- Writing expressions for scenarios:
- Combining Chris's and Sam's baseball cards:
c + s - 5 - Sum of 14 and a variable m:
14 + m - Thirteen less than x:
x - 13
- Combining Chris's and Sam's baseball cards:
Solving Equations
- Example solution for
3x + 4 = 28yieldsx = 8. - To solve
32 = r/2, the solution isr = 64.
Simplification
- The result of
2 2/3 + 9 4/5simplifies to12 7/15.
Scale Factors and Area Ratio
- A trapezoid reduction from 15" to 3" reflects a scale factor of
1/5. - The smaller area ratio to the larger area for squares with side lengths 5" and 15" calculates as
25:225.
Ratios in Practice
- In a class where the boy-to-girl ratio is 17:15, with 60 girls, the resulting number of boys is 68.
- Peyton Frontino maintained a consistent ratio, resulting in a total of 51 doubles for the season.
Characteristics of Shape Modifications
- Scaling with a factor of 1 maintains the original size.
- A scale factor greater than 1 enlarges the shape or number.
- A scale factor less than 1 reduces the size.
