Study Notes

Variables and Patterns

  • Variables are letters used to represent unknown values.
  • In this unit, independent and dependent variables are focused on.
  • An independent variable is unaffected by other variables. It's the value plugged into an equation. In a graph, it's plotted on the horizontal (x) axis.
  • A dependent variable's value is determined by the independent variable. On a graph, it's plotted on the vertical (y) axis.

Operations and Expressions

  • Operations include addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (×), and division (÷).
  • An expression is a mathematical statement using numbers and/or variables connected by operations. It does not contain an equals sign. Examples include 3p, 2x + 5.
  • An equation contains an equals sign and represents a relationship between two expressions.

Relations and Equations

  • Relations are represented using words, expressions, and equations.
  • Equations show the relationship between variables; expressions don't.
  • Patterns from tables, graphs, charts, pictures, or problems can be used to derive the relations.

Linear Relations

  • In linear relations, a constant change in one variable results in a constant change in the other.
  • Graphs of linear relations form straight lines.

Coordinate System

  • The coordinate system used for graphing is called the Cartesian Coordinate System.
  • It consists of the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical).
  • The point where the axes meet is the origin (0,0).
  • The system is divided into four quadrants.

Plotting Points

  • Points on a coordinate grid are ordered pairs (x, y).
  • The x-coordinate represents horizontal movement (left/right).
  • The y-coordinate represents vertical movement (up/down).

Graphing

  • Interval size should be consistent on each axis.
  • Each axis should be labelled, and the graph titled.
  • The independent variable is on the x-axis, the dependent variable is on the y-axis.
  • Data can be discrete or continuous. In discrete situations, the points are plotted, but the points are not connected.
