Study Notes
Integers and Operations
- Integers: Whole numbers that can be positive, negative, or zero.
-
Operations:
- Addition (+)
- Subtraction (−)
- Multiplication (×)
- Division (÷)
-
Properties:
- Commutative Property: a + b = b + a; ab = ba
- Associative Property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c); (ab)c = a(bc)
- Distributive Property: a(b + c) = ab + ac
- Order of Operations: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right) - PEMDAS.
Variables and Expressions
- Variables: Symbols (often letters) used to represent unknown values.
- Expressions: Combinations of numbers, variables, and operations (e.g., 3x + 2).
- Evaluating Expressions: Substitute values for variables and perform operations.
- Like Terms: Terms that have the same variable raised to the same power (e.g., 3x and 5x).
Equations and Inequalities
- Equations: Mathematical statements that two expressions are equal (e.g., 2x + 3 = 7).
- Solving Equations: Isolate the variable on one side (e.g., x = (7 - 3)/2).
-
Inequalities: Statements that compare expressions (e.g., x + 2 > 5).
- Types: Greater than (>), Less than (<), Greater than or equal to (≥), Less than or equal to (≤).
- Graphing Inequalities: Use number lines or coordinate planes to represent solutions.
Ratios and Proportions
- Ratios: A comparison of two quantities (e.g., 3:5 means 3 parts of one quantity for every 5 parts of another).
- Proportions: An equation stating that two ratios are equal (e.g., a/b = c/d).
- Cross Multiplication: Used to solve proportions; if a/b = c/d, then ad = bc.
- Simplifying Ratios: Reduce to the simplest form by dividing both parts by their greatest common factor.
Functions and Graphs
- Function: A relation where each input has exactly one output (e.g., f(x) = 2x + 3).
-
Domain and Range:
- Domain: All possible input values (x-values).
- Range: All possible output values (y-values).
- Graphing Functions: Plot points (x, f(x)) on a coordinate plane.
- Linear Functions: Forms a straight line when graphed; can be expressed as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
- Slope: The rate of change; calculated as (change in y)/(change in x).
Integers and Operations
- Integers encompass whole numbers that can be positive, negative, or zero.
- Four fundamental operations include:
- Addition (+)
- Subtraction (−)
- Multiplication (×)
- Division (÷)
- Properties of operations:
- Commutative Property: The order of addition or multiplication does not affect the result (a + b = b + a; ab = ba).
- Associative Property: The way numbers are grouped does not affect the sum or product ((a + b) + c = a + (b + c); (ab)c = a(bc)).
- Distributive Property: Multiplying a number by a sum is the same as doing each multiplication separately (a(b + c) = ab + ac).
- The Order of Operations is crucial for evaluation, represented by PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (left to right), Addition and Subtraction (left to right).
Variables and Expressions
- Variables are symbols, typically letters, that signify unknown values.
- Expressions consist of numbers, variables, and operations (e.g., 3x + 2).
- Evaluating Expressions involves substituting specific values for variables and calculating the result.
- Like Terms are components that share the same variable raised to the same exponent (e.g., 3x and 5x can be combined).
Equations and Inequalities
- Equations are mathematical declarations indicating that two expressions are equivalent (e.g., 2x + 3 = 7).
- To Solve Equations, the goal is to isolate the variable on one side of the equation (e.g., x = (7 - 3)/2).
- Inequalities compare expressions and indicate relationships such as greater than (>), less than (<), and others.
