Study Notes

Number Sets

Natural Numbers (N): All positive numbers, excluding 0 (e.g., 1, 2, 3).
Whole Numbers (W): All positive numbers, including 0 (e.g., 0, 1, 2).
Integers (Z): All positive and negative whole numbers (e.g., -1, 0, 1).
Rational Numbers (Q): Numbers that can be expressed as a quotient of two integers (e.g., 1/2, 2.4, 5).
Irrational Numbers (I): Numbers that cannot be expressed as fractions, involving roots of non-perfect squares or π.
Imaginary Numbers: Numbers resulting from the square root of a negative number.

Set Operations

Element Of: Describes a member of a set.
Union: Combines two sets, including all elements from both.
Intersection: Includes only the elements common to both sets.
Subset: Every element in the subset is also in another set.
Null Set: A set with no elements.

Algebraic Properties

Identity (+): Adding 0 to any number leaves it unchanged.
Identity (×): Multiplying any number by 1 leaves it unchanged.
Property of 0: Multiplying any number by 0 results in 0.
Substitution: A number can be replaced by another in an equation.
Reflexive Property: An equation is equal to itself.
Symmetric Property: If a = b, then b = a.
Transitive Property: If a = b and b = c, then a = c.
Inverse (+): A number plus its additive inverse equals 0.
Inverse (×): A number times its reciprocal equals 1.

Operations and Properties

Definition of Subtraction: Subtraction can be viewed as adding a negative.
Distributive Property: Distributing terms in parentheses to each other.
Commutative Property: The order of numbers does not affect the sum or product.
Associative Property: Grouping of numbers in addition or multiplication does not change the result.

Algebraic Expressions

Understanding how to translate verbal expressions into algebraic forms and vice versa.
Consecutive Integers: Identified using expressions like x, x+1, etc.
Consecutive Odd/Even Integers: Expressed as x, x+2, x+4, etc.

Inequalities and Proportions

Inequalities can be expressed in various ways, such as "is less than" or "is more than."
Proportion: An equation that states that two ratios are equal.
Cross Multiplication: A method used to solve proportions.

Function Basics

Function: A relation assigning exactly one output for each input.
Independent Variable: The variable that is changed or controlled in an experiment.
Dependent Variable: The variable that is measured or affected.
Function Notation: Typically written as f(x), indicating the output value when x is substituted.

Statistical Concepts

Mean: The average of a set of numbers.
Median: The middle value in a sorted list of numbers.
Mode: The most frequently occurring number in a dataset.

Special Concepts

Extraneous Solution: A solution derived from the equation that does not satisfy the original context.
Continuous Function: A function where every value between two points is included.
Discrete Function: A function where only specific points are defined and values in between do not apply.

Problem-Solving Techniques

Employ properties of equality for solving equations with variables.
The method of unit conversions requires careful attention to labels to maintain consistency in answers.
