Study Notes
Relative and Percentage Errors
- Relative error quantifies the error in comparison to the actual value.
- Percentage error expresses the relative error as a percentage.
Absolute and Maximum Absolute Errors
- Absolute error is the difference between the measured or calculated value and the true value.
- Maximum absolute error represents the largest possible deviation from the true value.
Minimum Possible Area with Upper and Lower Limits
- Minimum possible area calculations involve specified upper and lower bounds for factors.
Monomials and Polynomials
- Monomials are expressions with single terms.
- Polynomials are expressions with multiple terms.
- Coefficients are numerical factors in terms.
- Constant terms are numerical values without variables.
- Terms in a polynomial are arranged according to descending powers of the variable.
- Like terms have identical variables with corresponding powers.
- Unlike terms have different variables or different powers of the same variable.
Mixed Operations of Polynomials
- Polynomials can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided.
Factorization of Polynomials
- Factorization expresses a polynomial as a product of simpler terms (factors).
- Extracting common factors simplifies the expression.
- Grouping terms is a technique for factoring.
Identities with Unknown Constants
- Identities are equations that hold true for all values of the variables.
- Identities might involve one or more unknown constants.
Linear Equations and Graphs
- Linear equations can be represented graphically on the Cartesian coordinate plane (x and y axes).
- Coordinates of points on the graph satisfy the equation.
- Determining if a coordinate pair is a solution to an equation involves substituting the values into the equation, checking if it yields a true statement
- Solving linear equations in two variables generally involves finding the point where the lines intersect in a coordinate plane graph
Simultaneous Equations in Two Unknowns
- Simultaneous equations involve finding values that satisfy multiple equations simultaneously.
- Methods to solve them include graphical, substitution, and elimination.
