Study Notes
Algebraic Properties
- Addition Property of Equality: Adding the same number to both sides of an equation maintains equality (e.g., x - 3 = 9 becomes x = 12).
- Subtraction Property of Equality: Subtracting the same number from both sides keeps the equation balanced (e.g., x + 3 = 9 leads to x = 6).
- Multiplication Property of Equality: Multiplying both sides of an equation by the same number preserves equality (example: 0.5x = 4 becomes x = 8).
- Division Property of Equality: Dividing both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number maintains the equality (e.g., 3x = 12 results in x = 4).
- Substitution Property of Equality: If one value equals another, one can substitute it into an equation (e.g., 2x + 7 = y with x = 3 leads to 2(3) + 7 = y).
- Distributive Property: Multiplying a sum by a number requires distributing the number to each addend (example: 2(x + 3) = 7x simplifies to 2x + 6 = 7x).
Properties of Equality and Congruence
- Reflexive Property of Equality: Any quantity is equal to itself (e.g., 12 = 12).
- Symmetric Property of Equality: If one quantity equals another, the second equals the first (e.g., 7 = x results in x = 7).
- Transitive Property of Equality: If one quantity equals a second, which equals a third, the first equals the third (e.g., m∠X = 35° and m∠Y = 35° imply m∠X = m∠Y).
Geometric Concepts
- There exists exactly one line through any two points.
- A line is defined by at least two points.
- A point is where two lines intersect.
- Through any three noncollinear points, there is exactly one plane.
- A plane consists of at least three noncollinear points.
- If two points are in a plane, the line containing the points lies entirely in that plane.
- The shape of a line results from the intersection of two planes.
Additional Properties of Congruence
- Reflexive Property of Congruence: Any angle is congruent to itself (e.g., ∠X ≅ ∠X).
- Symmetric Property of Congruence: If one angle is congruent to another, the second is congruent to the first (e.g., ∠Y ≅ ∠X leads to ∠X ≅ ∠Y).
- Transitive Property of Congruence: If one angle is congruent to a second and the second is congruent to a third, then the first is congruent to the third (e.g., ∠A ≅ ∠B and ∠B ≅ ∠C imply ∠A ≅ ∠C).
Logical Reasoning
- Law of Detachment: If a given statement and its condition hold true, then the outcome is valid (e.g., if Simba runs away, then Scar will be king; Simba runs away implies Scar will be king).
- Law of Syllogism: If one condition leads to an outcome that leads to another statement, the first condition directly leads to the last outcome (e.g., if Simba runs away and Scar is king, then Simba running leads to hyenas everywhere).
- Modus Tollens: If the result of a condition is not true, then the condition itself cannot be true (e.g., if Scar is not king, then Simba has not run away).
- Transitive Property of Equality: Allows transitive equivalence across variables (e.g., if 5x + 7 = y and y = a + 19, one can state 5x + 7 = a + 19).
