Study Notes

Systems of Linear Inequalities

A system of linear inequalities can model a situation where a student needs to earn at least a certain amount of money from two jobs in a week, with the constraint of working at most a certain number of hours.

Arithmetic Sequences

An arithmetic sequence can model the total number of towels remaining to be washed at the end of each hour in a laundry service, where the pattern continues for a certain number of hours.

Graph Analysis

The graph of a function can be analyzed to determine the best representation of the function, where the correct answer may involve identifying the correct formula or equation.

Quadratic Functions

The zeros of a quadratic function can be found by factoring the expression into the product of binomials.
The graph of a quadratic function can have different shapes depending on the coefficients of the quadratic expression.

Inequalities

The solution set of an inequality can be represented by a shaded region in the coordinate plane.
A solution to an inequality can be found by identifying the points that satisfy the inequality.

Equation Solving

A first step in solving an equation can be to distribute a coefficient on one side of the equation, or to divide both sides of the equation by a coefficient.

Linear Models

A linear model can be used to represent the relationship between two variables, such as the height of a tomato plant and the amount of time since it was planted.
The scatter plot of data can be used to determine the best linear model for the data.

Quadratic Functions

The graph of a quadratic function can have different shapes depending on the coefficients of the quadratic expression.
The -intercept value of the graph of a quadratic function can be compared to the -intercept value of the graph of another quadratic function.

Sequence and Series

A sequence can represent the amount of money received from allowance at the end of each week, where the pattern continues for a certain number of weeks.
