    Study Notes

    Multiplying and Dividing Fractions

    • Multiply fractions directly across; no need for common denominators.
    • Dividing fractions involves multiplying by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

    Adding and Subtracting Fractions

    • Addition and subtraction require common denominators, referred to as "Like Terms."

    Exponents

    • Exponents serve as shorthand for repeated multiplication of a number.

    Order of Operations

    • Follow PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiply/Divide, Addition/Subtraction.

    Variables

    • Variables, such as "x" and "y," act as placeholders for unknown values.

    Algebraic Expression

    • Composed of numbers and variables combined with addition or subtraction; for example, x + 3.

    Evaluating Expressions

    • Involves substituting values for variables and simplifying.

    Terminology for Operations

    • Addition: Add, Sum, Plus, More than, Increase.
    • Subtraction: Subtract, Difference, Minus, Take away, Decrease.
    • Multiplication: Multiply, Product, Times, Doubled, Tripled.
    • Division: Divide, Quotient, Split, Halved.

    Types of Numbers

    • Real Numbers: Include all rational and irrational numbers.
    • Rational Numbers: Can be expressed as a fraction.
    • Irrational Numbers: Cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.
    • Natural Numbers: Counting numbers; starts at 1.
    • Whole Numbers: Natural numbers including zero.
    • Integers: Includes natural numbers, whole numbers, and their negative counterparts.

    Properties in Algebra

    • Distributive Property: Allows multiplication over addition or subtraction.
    • Identity Property of Addition: Adding zero to a number keeps it unchanged.
    • Identity Property of Multiplication: Multiplying by one keeps the number unchanged.
    • Multiplication Property of Zero: Any number multiplied by zero results in zero.
    • Multiplication Property of -1: Multiplying by -1 changes a number's sign.
    • Inverse Property of Addition: A number plus its opposite equals zero.
    • Inverse Property of Multiplication: A number times its reciprocal equals one.

    Commutative and Associative Properties

    • Commutative Property of Addition: Order of addition does not affect the sum.
    • Commutative Property of Multiplication: Order of multiplication does not affect the product.
    • Associative Property of Addition: Changing grouping of terms does not affect the sum.
    • Associative Property of Multiplication: Changing grouping of factors does not affect the product.

    Terms and Components of Expressions

    • Terms: Include numbers, variables, or products of numbers and variables.
    • Coefficients: Terms that include variables, representing the factor of those variables.
    • Constant: Terms without variables, such as integers.
    • Like Terms: Expressions that have the same variables raised to the same powers.
