Foundations for Algebra 5 1-1 Variables and Expressions Objectives Translate between words and algebra. Why learn this? Variables and expressions can be used to determine how many plastic drink bottles must be recycled to make enough carpet for a house. Evaluate algebraic expressions. Vocabulary variable constant numerical expression algebraic expression evaluate A home that is “green built” uses many recycled products, including carpet made from recycled plastic drink bottles. You can determine how many square feet of carpet can be made from a certain number of plastic drink bottles by using variables, constants, and expressions. A variable is a letter or symbol used to represent a value that can change. Container City, in East London, UK, is a development of buildings made from recycled shipping containers. A constant is a value that does not change. A numerical expression may contain only constants and/or operations. An algebraic expression may contain variables, constants, and/or operations. You will need to translate between algebraic expressions and words to be successful in math. The diagram below shows some of the ways to write mathematical operations with words. Plus, sum, increased by EXAMPLE 1 Minus, difference, Times, product, less than equal groups of Divided by, quotient Translating from Algebraic Symbols to Words Give two ways to write each algebraic expression in words. A x+3 These expressions all mean “2 times y”: 2y 2 ( y) 2·y (2)(y) 2 × y (2) y B m-7 the sum of x and 3 x increased by 3 the difference of m and 7 7 less than m C 2·y D k÷5 2 times y the product of 2 and y k divided by 5 the quotient of k and 5 Give two ways to write each algebraic expression in words. 1a. 4 - n 6 Chapter 1 Foundations for Algebra t 1b. _ 5 1c. 9 + q 1d. 3(h) To translate words into algebraic expressions, look for words that indicate the action that is taking place. Put together, combine EXAMPLE 2 Find how much more or less Put together equal groups Separate into equal groups Translating from Words to Algebraic Symbols A Eve reads 25 pages per hour. Write an expression for the number of pages she reads in h hours. h represents the number of hours that Eve reads. 25 · h or 25h Think: h groups of 25 pages. B Sam is 2 years younger than Sue, who is y years old. Write an expression for Sam’s age. y represents Sue’s age. y-2 Think: “younger than” means “less than.” C William runs a mile in 12 minutes. Write an expression for the number of miles that William runs in m minutes. m represents the total time William runs. m _ Think: How many groups of 12 are in m? 12 2a. Lou drives at 65 mi/h. Write an expression for the number of miles that Lou drives in t hours. 2b. Miriam is 5 cm taller than her sister, who is m cm tall. Write an expression for Miriam’s height in centimeters. 2c. Elaine earns $32 per day. Write an expression for the amount that she earns in d days. To evaluate an expression is to find its value. To evaluate an algebraic expression, substitute numbers for the variables in the expression and then simplify the expression. EXAMPLE 3 Evaluating Algebraic Expressions Evaluate each expression for x = 8, y = 5, and z = 4. A x+y x+y=8+5 = 13 B Substitute 8 for x and 5 for y. Simplify. _x z x =_ 8 _ z 4 =2 Substitute 8 for x and 4 for z. Simplify.

The total length of a penguin’s dive can be determined by adding real numbers. (See Example 4.) Subtract real numbers. Vocabulary real numbers absolute value opposites additive inverse The set of all numbers that can be represented on a number line are called real numbers . You can use a number line to model addition and subtraction of real numbers. Addition To model addition of a positive number, move right. To model addition of a negative number, move left. Subtraction To model subtraction of a positive number, move left. To model subtraction of a negative number, move right. EXAMPLE 1 Adding and Subtracting Numbers on a Number Line Add or subtract using a number line. A -3 + 6 È Î Start at 0.

EXAMPLE 2 Adding Real Numbers Add. A -3 + (-16) Same signs: add the absolute values. (3 + 16 = 19) -19 Both numbers are negative, so the sum is negative. B -13 + 7 Different signs: subtract the absolute values. (13 - 7 = 6) -6 Use the sign of the number with the greater absolute value. C 6.2 + (-4.9) Different signs: subtract the absolute values. (6.2 - 4.9 = 1.3) 1.3 Use the sign of the number with the greater absolute value. Add. 2a. -5 + (-7) 2b. -13.5 + (-22.3) 2c. 52 + (-68) Two numbers are opposites if their sum is 0. A number and its opposite are additive inverses and are the same distance from zero. They have the same absolute value. Inverse Property of Addition Because adding 0 to a number does not change the number’s value, 0 is called the additive identity. Two numbers are additive inverses if their sum is the additive identity. WORDS The sum of a real number and its opposite is 0. NUMBERS ALGEBRA 6 + (-6) = (-6) + 6 = 0 For any real number a, a + (-a) = (-a) + a = 0 To subtract signed numbers, you can use additive inverses. Subtracting a number is the same as adding the opposite of the number. Subtracting Real Numbers WORDS To subtract a number, add its opposite. Then follow the rules for adding signed numbers.

Vocabulary power base exponent Who uses this? Biologists use exponents to model the growth patterns of living organisms. When bacteria divide, their number increases exponentially. This means that the number of bacteria is multiplied by the same factor each time the bacteria divide. Instead of writing repeated multiplication to express a product, you can use a power. A power is an expression written with an exponent and a base or the value of such an expression. 32 is an example of a power. The base, 3, is the number that is used as a factor. The exponent, 2, tells how many times the base, 3, is used as a factor. When a number is raised to the second power, we usually say it is “squared.” The area of a square is s · s = s 2, where s is the side length. à à When a number is raised to the third power, we usually say it is “cubed.” The volume of a cube is s · s · s = s 3, where s is the side length. à à EXAMPLE 1 Writing Powers for Geometric Models Write the power represented by each geometric model.

Square roots can be used to find the side length of a square garden when you know its area. (See Example 3.) Classify numbers within the real number system. Vocabulary square root principal square root perfect square cube root natural numbers whole numbers integers rational numbers terminating decimal repeating decimal irrational numbers A number that is multiplied by itself to form a product is a square root of that product. The radical symbol √ is used to represent square roots. For nonnegative numbers, the operations of squaring and finding a square root are inverse operations. In other words, for x ≥ 0, √ x · √ x = x. Positive real numbers have two square roots. The principal square root of a number is the positive square root and is represented by √. A negative square root is represented by - √. The symbol ± √ is used to represent both square roots. Positive square root of 16 Negative square root of 16 A perfect square is a number whose positive square root is a whole number. Some examples of perfect squares are shown in the table. 0 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 02 12 22 32 42 52 62 72 82 92 10 2 A number that is raised to the third power to form a product is a cube root 3 3 of that product. The symbol √ indicates a cube root. Since 2 3 = 8, √ 8 = 2. 4 4 4 Similarly, the symbol √ indicates a fourth root: 2 = 16, so √ 16 = 2. EXAMPLE 1 Finding Roots Find each root. A √ 49 The small number to the left of the root is the index. In a square root, the index is understood to be 2. In other words, √ is the 2 same as √. √ 49 = √ 72 =7 Think: What number squared equals 49?

EXAMPLE 3 Gardening Application Nancy wants to plant a square garden of wildflowers. She has enough wildflower seeds to cover 19 ft 2. Estimate to the nearest tenth the side length of a square with an area of 19 ft 2. ft. Since the area of the square is 19 ft 2, then each side of the square is √19 19 is not a perfect square, so find the two consecutive perfect squares that 19 is between: 16 and 25. √ 19 is between √ 16 and √ 25 , or 4 and 5. Refine the estimate. The symbol ≈ means “is approximately equal to.” 4.3: 4.3 2 = 18.49 too low √ 19 is greater than 4.3. 4.4: 4.4 = 19.36 too high √ 19 is less than 4.4. 4.35: 4.35 2 = 18.9225 too low √ 19 is greater than 4.35. 2 Since 4.35 is too low and 4.4 is too high, √ 19 is between 4.35 and 4.4. Rounded to the nearest tenth, √ 19 ≈ 4.4. The side length of the plot is √ 19 ≈ 4.4 ft. 3. Estimate to the nearest tenth the side length of a cube with a volume of 26 ft3 . Real numbers can be classified according to their characteristics. Natural numbers are the counting numbers: 1, 2, 3, … Whole numbers are the natural numbers and zero: 0, 1, 2, 3, … Integers are the whole numbers and their opposites: …, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, … To show that one or more digits repeat continuously, write a bar over those digits. − 1.333333333… = 1.3 −− 2.14141414… = 2.14 Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed in the form __ab , where a and b are both integers and b ≠ 0. When expressed as a decimal, a rational number is either a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal. • A terminating decimal has a finite number of digits after the decimal point (for example, 1.25, 2.75, and 4.0). • A repeating decimal has a block of one or more digits after the decimal point that repeat continuously (where all digits are not zeros). 1- 5 Roots and Real Numbers 33 Irrational numbers are all real numbers that are not rational. They cannot be expressed in the form __ab where a and b are both integers and b ≠ 0. They are neither terminating decimals nor repeating decimals. For example: 0.10100100010000100000… After the decimal point, this number contains 1 followed by one 0, and then 1 followed by two 0’s, and then 1 followed by three 0’s, and so on. This decimal neither terminates nor repeats, so it is an irrational number. If a whole number is not a perfect square, then its square root is irrational. For example, 2 is not a perfect square, and √ 2 is irrational. The real numbers are made up of all rational and irrational numbers. ,i>Ê ÕLiÀà ,>Ì>Ê ÕLiÀÃÊύ® ÀÀ>Ì>Ê ÕLiÀÃ Ü ä°ÊÎÊ ÓÇ ÊÚÚÚ ÊÊÊÊ Ìi}iÀÃÊϖ® { Î EXAMPLE £ >ÌÕÀ>Ê ÕLiÀÃÊϊ® 4 ÊȖ££Ê е еÊ ä е Ê ÊȖÓÊ Î £ x ÊÊÊÊ ÊÚÚ Ó {°x е ÊȖ£ÇÊ еÊ Ó 7 iÊ ÕLiÀÃÊϓ® Note the symbols for the sets of numbers. : real numbers : rational numbers : integers : whole numbers : natural numbers ÊÊÊ ÊÚÚÚ Ê£ä ££ û Classifying Real Numbers Write all classifications that apply to each real number.
