Study Notes
Ratios
- A ratio compares two quantities, for example, six eggs to two oranges.
- Can be expressed mathematically as 6/2.
- The order of terms in the ratio matters for accuracy.
Commutative Properties
- Addition: a + b = b + a (e.g., 5 + 3 = 3 + 5).
- Multiplication: a * b = b * a (e.g., 12 * 3 = 3 * 12).
Associative Properties
- Addition: Rearranging numbers in addition (e.g., a + b + c + d can be grouped differently).
- Multiplication: Arrangement of factors in multiplication does not affect the product (e.g., 6 * 2 * 5 = 2 * 5 * 6).
Division of Mixed Numbers
- Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.
- Invert the divisor for multiplication and cross-cancel if possible.
Inequalities
- Multiplying or dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality symbol.
- Inequality symbols include: <, >, ≤, ≥, =.
Scientific Notation
- A method for expressing large or small numbers using powers of ten.
- Convert decimals into scientific notation for simplification.
Area and Perimeter
- Area: Length multiplied by Width.
- Perimeter: Distance around a figure, calculated as 2 * Length + 2 * Width or summing all sides.
Volume
- Refers to the space occupied by a solid figure.
Equation Forms
- Numerical Equation: Contains only numbers (e.g., 3 + 5 = 8).
- Algebraic Equation: Includes variables (e.g., x - 2 = 7).
Absolute Value
- The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero, disregarding sign (e.g., |5| = 5 and |-5| = 5).
Integer Operations
- Adding Integers: Follow sign rules; sign from the larger absolute value dominates.
- Subtracting Integers: Convert subtraction to addition by changing the sign of the subtrahend.
- Multiplying/Dividing Integers: Like signs yield a positive result, unlike signs yield a negative result.
Order of Operations
- Follow this sequence: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Subtraction, Addition (PEMDAS).
Algebraic Expressions
- A mathematical phrase that includes variables (e.g., b or b - 3).
- Simplifying involves combining like terms.
Closure Property
- A set is closed for an operation if all results of the operation remain within the set (e.g., positive integers are closed under multiplication).
- A set is not closed if a result falls outside (e.g., negative numbers with multiplication).
Replacement Set and Solution Set
- Replacement Set: A set of values that can substitute for a variable (e.g., x ≥ 4, R = {3, 4, 5, 6}).
- Solution Set: Values that make an equation true (e.g., for x ≥ 4, S = (4, 5, 6)).
Mixed Numbers
- To add or subtract mixed numbers, convert to improper fractions, perform operations, and convert back if necessary.
Dividing and Multiplying Decimals
- For division, if signs are the same, result is positive; if different, negative.
- For multiplication, similar sign rules apply, with careful placement of the decimal in the final result.
