3 - INTEGERS Definition The set of integers, Z, consists of the whole numbers and their negative counterparts. Z = {, -, -, -, 0,,,, } Definition Example The absolute value of a number is the distance between the number and zero on a number line. x, if x 0 It is defined by the formula: x = x, if x < 0 Evaluate each absolute value below. a. 5 = 5 b. 5 = 5 c. 0 = 0 Property Example Multiplying Integers To multiply two integers, first multiply their absolute values. If the integers have the same sign then the result is positive, otherwise the result is negative. Multiply the integers below. a. = 6 b. ( ) = 6 c. ( ) = 6 d. ( ) ( ) = 6 Property Example Dividing Integers To divide two integers, first divide their absolute values. If the integers have the same sign then the result is positive, otherwise the result is negative. Divide the integers below. a. 0 = 5 b. 0 (-) = -5 c. (-0) = -5 d. (-0) (-) = 5 Property Example 4 Adding Integers To add two integers which have the same sign, add their absolute values and give the result the same sign as the integers. To add two integers with opposite signs, subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger and give the result the sign of the integer with the larger absolute value. Add the integers below. a. + 5 = 8 b. + (-5) = - c. (-) + 5 = d. (-) + (-5) = -8 Property Example 5 Subtracting Integers To subtract two integers change the subtraction symbol to addition while reversing the sign of the second integer. Then use the rules for addition. Subtract the integers below. a. - 5 = + (-5) = - b. - (-5) = + 5 = 8 c. (-) - 5 = (-) + (-5) = -8 d. (-) - (-5) = (-) + 5 =

9 - PROPORTION AND PERCENT Definition A ratio is an ordered pair of numbers written x y where y 0. Theorem Definition Example Equality of Ratios a b = c if and only if ad = bc, where a, b, c and d are real numbers and b 0, d 0. d A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal. Sam uses three tablespoons of instant cocoa to make two servings of hot cocoa. How many tablespoons of instant cocoa does Sam need if he is to make five servings of hot cocoa? Sam uses a ratio of tablespoons of mix to servings of hot water. Since Sam needs the same ratio of tablespoons of mix to 5 servings of hot water we get the following proportion. = x 5 where x is the number of tablespoons of mix required. Solving this equation for x: x = 5 x = 5 x = 7 tablespoons Definition Percent means parts per hundred. Thus n% represents the ratio n 00. Example What is 0% of 50? (0%)(50) = (0.0)(50) = 45 Example 5 is what percentage of 80? 5 80 = 0.08 = 8. % = 8 % Example 4 Suppose apples cost $.5 per pound. If oranges cost 0% more than apples, how much will three pounds of oranges cost? We first calculate 0% of $.5: (0%)($.5) = (0.)($.5) = $0.. Therefore each pound of oranges cost cents more than each pound of apples. This implies that the cost of pound of oranges is $.5 +. = $.8. We conclude pounds of oranges costs, ($.8) = $4.4.

23 -4 RADICAL EXPRESSIONS Definition The nth root of a number a is a number that when raised to the nth power, produces the n number a. It is written as a, where n is the index, is the radical and a is the radicand. For example, 9 = since = 9 and x 6 = x since (x ) = x 6. 4 Similarly, 6 = since 4 = 6 and x = x 4 since (x 4 ) = x. Definition Rational exponents are exponents of the form m, where m is the power of the number n and n represents the nth root of the number. Thus a mn = n a m n = a ( ) m where a 0. For example, 7 = 7 = and 8 = ( 8) = () = 4 Example Write the expression x in radical form. The expression x can be written as ( x ) or ( x ). Therefore, x can be written in radical form as ( x) or x.

30 - QUADRATIC EQUATIONS Definition Quadratic equations in one variable are equations which can be written in the form ax + bx + c = 0 where a, b and c are real numbers and a 0. Quadratic equations can have two real solutions, one real solution or no real solutions. They can often be solved by factoring and applying the zero-product property. Property The Zero-product Property For any two real numbers a and b if ab = 0 then a = 0 or b = 0. Example Solve the equation for x, x = x +. x = x + x x = 0 (x )(x +) = 0 x - = 0 or x + = 0 x = x = - Example Solve the equation for x, x 6x + 4 = x + 6x 5. x 6x + 4 = x + 6x 5 4x x + 9 = 0 (x ) = 0 (x ) = ± 0 x - = 0 x = x = Example Solve the equation for x, x +8 = 0. x +8 = 0 x = -8 x = -9 x = ± 9 x = ±i Thus there are no real solutions.

57 5- LINEAR RELATIONS Definition The slope of a line measures the direction that a line travels. It can be calculated using the formula m = y y x x where (x, y ) and (x, y ) are two points on the line. Lines with positive slope increase from left to right, while lines with negative slope decrease from left to right. Horizontal lines have slope zero while the slope of vertical lines is undefined. Definition The y-intercept of a line is the y coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y- axis. There are two primary forms in which linear relations can be expressed. Definition Definition The slope-intercept form for the equation of a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The standard form for the equation of a line is Ax +By = C where A, B and C are real numbers. Example Find the slope and y-intercept for the line x + y = 9. Solving for y changes the line into slope-intercept form. x + y = 9 y = -x + 9 y = x + Thus the slope is and the y-intercept is. Example Find the equation (in slope-intercept form) of the line that passes through the points (-, ) and (6, 7). The slope of the line is m = y y x x = 7 6 ( ) = 4 8 = So the equation becomes y = x + b. Substituting the point (6, 7) into the equation produces: 7 = 6 + b Therefore the line has the equation: y = x = + b 7 - = + b - 4 = b

58 Property Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope. That is m = m where m and m are the slopes of the two lines. Example Find the equation (in slope-intercept form) of the line that is parallel to the line y = x and passes through the point (-, ). The slope of the original line is so the slope of the new line must also be. So the equation for the new line is y = x + b. Substituting the point (-, ) into the equation produces: = ( ) + b = - + b + = - + b + = b Therefore the line has the equation: y = x +. Property Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. That is, m = m where m and m are the slopes of the two lines. Example 4 Find the equation (in slope-intercept form) of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = x and passes through the point (-, ). The slope of the original line is so the slope of the new line must be -. So the equation for the new line is y = x + b. Substituting the point (-, ) into the equation produces: = ( ) + b = 9 + b - 9 = 9 + b = b Therefore the line has the equation: y = x 8.

Step : Choosing the first equation, solve for x. x + y = 8 x = 8 - y x = 8 y Step : Now substitute this expression for x into the second equation. 4x + y = y + y = 4 Step : Now solve this single variable equation for y. (8 - y) + y = 4 6-6y + y = y = 4 -y = - y = 4 Step 4: Finally substitute the result y = 4 into x = 8 y from Step. x = 8 y = 8 (4) = 8 = 4 = - Step 5: The solution to the system is (-, 4). Check this solution in both equations. x + y? 8 4x + y? 4 (-) + (4)? 8 4(-) + (4)? 4-4 +? 8-8 +? = 4

62 Procedure Solving Two Linear Equations by Elimination Step : Write both equations in standard form: Ax + By = C. Step : Multiply one or both of the equations by appropriate numbers so that the coefficients of either x or y are the same. Step : Add or subtract the two equations to produce an equation with only one variable. Step 4: Solve the equation for the remaining variable. Step 5: To find the other variable, substitute the result from Step 4 into either of the two original equations. Step 6: Write the solution as an ordered pair and check the answer. Example Solve the system of linear equations x y = 0 x + y + = 0 by the elimination method. x y = Step : Write both equations in standard form: x + y = Step : Multiply the first equation by to make the coefficients of y equal. x - y = (x - y) = () 4x - y = 4 Step : Next, add the two equations together to eliminate the y variable. 4x - y = 4 + x + y = - 7x + 0y = Step 4: Now solve this single variable equation for x. 7x = x = Step 5: Finally, substitute the result x = into x + y + = 0 we can solve for y. x + y + = 0 () + y + = 0 y + = 0 y = - y = -6 Step 6: The solution to the system is (, -6). Check this solution in both equations. x - y -? 0 x + y +? 0 () - (-6) -? 0 () + (-6) +? ? ? 0 0 = 0 0 = 0

65 5-4 FUNCTIONS Definition A function is a rule that assigns a unique real number to each number in a specified set of real numbers. Functions are expressed in the form f(x) = u where u is a variable expression. f(x) does not indicate that f is multiplied times x but rather that the function f should be evaluated at the value x. Example Evaluate the function f (x) = x +x 7 at the indicated values. a. x = b. x = - c. x = t d. x = b + a. f() = () +() 7 = (4) = = b. f(-) = ( ) +( ) 7 = () = - 8 = -6 c. f(t) = (t) +(t) 7 = t +t 7 d. f(b + ) = (b +) +(b +) 7 = (b + b +) +b + 7 = b + 4b + +b + 4 = b +5b + 6 Theorem The Vertical Line Test If a vertical line drawn anywhere on the graph of a relation (in x and y) will intersect the graph at no more than one point, then the relation is a function of x. Example Use the vertical line test to determine which of the following relations are functions of x. a. b. c. d. a. This is a function since any vertical line will intersect the graph at one point. b. This is not a function many vertical lines will intersect the graph at two points. c. This is a function since any vertical line will intersect the graph at one point. d. This is a function since any vertical line will intersect the graph at one point.

66 Functions can be translated (moved) by using the following rules. Properties Function Description g(x) = f(x) + k g(x) is f(x) translated k units up g(x) = f(x) - k g(x) is f(x) translated k units down g(x) = f(x - h) g(x) is f(x) translated h units to the right g(x) = f(x + h) g(x) is f(x) translated h units to the left Example Use the graph of f(x) below to graph each of the following functions. f(x) - -4 a. g(x) = f(x) + b. h(x) = f(x) - c. u(x) = f(x - ) d. v(x) = f(x + ) a. g(x) is f(x) translated units up. b. h(x) is f(x) translated unit down. g(x) h(x) c. u(x) is f(x) translated right units. d. v(x) is f(x) translated left units. v(x) u(x) -4-4

69 6- PERIMETER AND CIRCUMFERENCE Definition Perimeter is a measure of the distance around a figure. For a polygon, the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of its sides. For a circle, the measure of the distance around a circle is called the circumference. Definition Formula The circumference of a circle is the perimeter of the circle. The circumference of a circle is given by the equation: C = πr where r is the radius of the circle (the distance from the center of the circle to its edge). The diameter of a circle is twice its radius. Example For the diagram below, find the perimeter of the square and the circumference of the circle. diameter = 6 cm Since the circle is inscribed inside the square, the diameter of circle is equal in length to the side of the square. Since the square has four equal sides, it's perimeter is: 6 cm + 6 cm + 6 cm + 6 cm = 4 cm Since the diameter of the circle is 6 cm its circumference is given by: C = πr = π 6 = π Example Example A certain square has the same perimeter as a 0 by foot rectangle. How long is a side of the square? The length of the rectangle is 0 ft and its width is feet so its perimeter is given by: P = l + w = 0 + = 4 Since the square has four equal side lengths, each of its sides is one-fourth of 4 ft. Therefore the square has sides which are 6 ft in length. The width of a rectangle is twice its length. If its perimeter is 7 cm, find the length and width. If the length is given by l, then the width is w = l. Therefore P = l + w = l + (l) = l + 4l = 6l Thus 6l = 7 and l = 4.5. So the length is 4.5 cm and the width is 9 cm.
