Study Notes
Solving Systems of Linear Equations
- A system of linear equations is a set of two or more linear equations that must be true at the same time.
- The solution to a system of linear equations is the point of intersection of the lines, which is the point that satisfies both equations.
- Methods for solving systems of linear equations:
- Substitution Method:
- Solve one equation for one variable.
- Substitute the expression into the other equation.
- Solve for the other variable.
- Elimination Method:
- Multiply both equations by necessary multiples such that the coefficients of one variable are the same.
- Add or subtract the equations to eliminate one variable.
- Solve for the other variable.
- Graphing Method:
- Graph both equations on the same coordinate plane.
- The point of intersection is the solution.
- Substitution Method:
Solving Linear Inequalities
- A linear inequality is an inequality in which the variables are raised to the first power.
- The solution to a linear inequality is a range of values that satisfy the inequality.
- Methods for solving linear inequalities:
- Graphing Method:
- Graph the related equation (replace the inequality sign with an equal sign).
- Identify the boundary point (the point at which the inequality becomes an equality).
- Shade the region that satisfies the inequality.
- Algebraic Method:
- Add or subtract the same value to both sides of the inequality.
- Multiply both sides of the inequality by a positive number.
- Flip the inequality sign when multiplying both sides by a negative number.
- Interval Notation:
- Write the solution in interval notation (e.g., (-∞, 3] or [2, ∞)).
- Use parentheses to indicate that the endpoint is not included.
- Use brackets to indicate that the endpoint is included.
- Graphing Method:
Key Concepts
- The inequality sign can be reversed when multiplying both sides of the inequality by a negative number.
- The solution to a system of linear equations can be a single point, no solution, or infinitely many solutions.
- The solution to a linear inequality can be expressed in interval notation, graphically, or in set-builder notation.
