2 Algebra Summer Preparation Packet This summer packet contains eciting math problems designed to ensure our readiness for Algebra. The topics covered in this packet are concepts that should have been mastered in courses before entering Algebra. You are laing the groundwork for success net ear b keeping important concepts fresh, and making sure ou identif the important concepts needed to build upon for success in Algebra. Show all work that leads ou to each solution. Use separate paper, if necessar. You ma get help with this packet from friends, a tutor, the internet, or a teacher, but please understand that help means having someone eplain how to solve the problem, not just simpl suppling the answer or coping the work someone else did. YOU are responsible for understanding the material contained in this packet, and for being able to emplo the skills necessar to solve each problem. All work should be completed and read to turn in on the first da of school. This packet will count as part of our first term grade and will be graded on completeness and correctness. You will not be given credit for problems in this packet if no work is shown. A Summer Math Packet test will be given the first full week of school. Do a little of our Summer Math Packet each week. You are not epected to do all of it on the first da or the last week. Your Summer Math Packet will be used to analze our strengths and weaknesses, and assist our teacher in helping ou grow mathematicall throughout the ear. Students should tr to answer all of the questions. However, a minimum of 105 of the questions must be answered to receive full credit. So, if ou reall can t answer certain questions, ou ma write the word pass on up to 10 of the questions without penalt. (The purpose of this option is to allow students to show what the know on certain concepts while informing the teacher of concepts that ma need to be reviewed with students after school starts.) Honor and integrit are at the heart of all students at The American School of Marrakesh. True Warriors never cheat. You are onl hurting ourself b attempting to cop someone else s work. This packet is to help ou be read for Algebra, and help our teachers know what ou can do. Thank ou and have a great summer! If ou are receiving this packet, please provide the following information to me through to corense@asm.ac.ma Name: Phone: ing this information acknowledges receipt of the packet, and an understanding that completion of this prerequisite packet is a requirement for the Algebra course. The packet is due on the first da of class.

4 A. Simplifing Polnomial Epressions I. Combining Like Terms - You can add or subtract terms that are considered "like", or terms that have the same variable(s) with the same eponent(s). E. 1: E. : -8h + 10h 3-1h - 15h 3-8h + 10h 3-1h - 15h 3-0h - 5h 3 II. Appling the Distributive Propert - Ever term inside the parentheses is multiplied b the term outside of the parentheses. E. 1: 3(9 " 4) 3# 9 " 3# 4 7 "1 E. : 4 ( ) 4 " " III. Combining Like Terms AND the Distributive Propert (Problems with a Mi!) - Sometimes problems will require ou to distribute AND combine like terms!! E. 1: 3(4 " ) +13 3# 4 " 3# " " 6 E. : 3(1 " 5) " 9("7 +10) 3#1 " 3# 5" 9("7) " 9(10) 36 "15+ 63" 90 "

5 PRACTICE SET 1 Simplif. 1. 8! ! n! (3! 4n) 4.! (11b! 3) q ( ) 6.! ( 5! 6) 7. 3(18z! 4w) + (10z! 6w) 8. ( 8c + 3) + 1(4c! 10)! 9. 9(6! )! 3(9 3) 10.! (! ) + 6(5 + 7) 6

6 I. Solving Two-Step Equations B. Solving Equations A couple of hints: 1. To solve an equation, UNDO the order of operations and work in the reverse order.. REMEMBER! Addition is undone b subtraction, and vice versa. Multiplication is undone b division, and vice versa. E. 1: 4 " = = = 8 E. : 87 = " " 1 " 1 66 = "11 "11 "11 " 6 = II. Solving Multi-step Equations With Variables on Both Sides of the Equal Sign - When solving equations with variables on both sides of the equal sign, be sure to get all terms with variables on one side and all the terms without variables on the other side. E. 3: = " 4 " 4 8 = " 4 " 4 4 = = 6 III. Solving Equations that need to be simplified first - In some equations, ou will need to combine like terms and/or use the distributive propert to simplif each side of the equation, and then begin to solve it. E. 4 : 5(4 " 7) = " 35 = "10 "10 10 " 35 = = = 8 7

7 PRACTICE SET Solve each equation. You must show all work. 1. 5! = = (3! 4) = ! = = 4(1! 9) = ! 68 7.! 131 =! 5(3! 8) ! 7! 10 = ! 15 =! (3! 8) 10.! ( 1! 6) = IV. Solving Literal Equations - A literal equation is an equation that contains more than one variable. - You can solve a literal equation for one of the variables b getting that variable b itself (isolating the specified variable). E.1: 3 =18, Solve for. 3 3 = 18 3 = 6 E. : 5a "10b = 0, Solve for a. +10b =+10b 5a = 0 +10b 5a 5 = b 5 a = 4 + b 8

8 PRACTICE SET 3 Solve each equation for the specified variable. 1. Y + V = W, for V. 9wr = 81, for w 3. d 3f = 9, for f 4. d + t = 10, for 5. P = (g 9)180, for g h = 10 + u, for 9

9 C. Rules of Eponents Multiplication: Recall ( m )( n ) ( m+ n) = E: (3 4 )(4 5 )=(3" 4)( 4 " 1 )( " 5 )=1 5 7 Division: Recall m ( m n)! n 5 5 4m j ' 4 $ ' m $ ' j $ = E: = 14m j 3 % " =! 3 1 3m j 3 % m " % j "! &! #& #& # Powers: Recall ( m ) n ( m! n) = E: (! a bc ) = (! ) ( a ) ( b ) ( c ) =! 8a b c 0 Power of Zero: Recall = 1,! 0 E: = (5)(1)( ) = 5 PRACTICE SET 4 Simplif each epression m 1. ( c )( c)( c ). 3 m 3. (k 4 ) d 5. ( q )( p q ) p z 3 5 z (! t 7 ) g f 9. (4h k )(15k h ) a b 36ab c 11. ( 3 n m ) 4 1. ) 0 ( (! 5a b)(ab c)(! 3b) ( ) ( 3 )( ) 3 10

10 I. Reviewing the Distributive Propert D. Binomial Multiplication The distributive propert is used when ou want to multipl a single term b an epression. E 1: 8(5 8 " 5 40! 9) + 8 " (! 9)! 7 II. Multipling Binomials the FOIL method When multipling two binomials (an epression with two terms), we use the FOIL method. The FOIL method uses the distributive propert twice! FOIL is the order in which ou will multipl our terms. First Outer Inner Last E. 1: ( + 6)( + 10) FIRST OUTER First " > ( + 6)( + 10) Outer Inner > > 6 INNER LAST Last > (After combining like terms) 11

11 Recall: 4 = 4 4 = E. ( + 5) ( + 5) = ( + 5)(+5) Now ou can use the FOIL method to get a simplified epression. PRACTICE SET 5 Multipl. Write our answer in simplest form. 1. ( + 10)( 9). ( + 7)( 1) 3. ( 10)( ) 4. ( 8)( + 81) 5. ( 1)(4 + 3) 6. (- + 10)(-9 + 5) 7. (-3 4)( + 4) 8. ( + 10) 9. (- + 5) 10. ( 3) 1

12 E. Factoring I. Using the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) to Factor. Alwas determine whether there is a greatest common factor (GCF) first. E ! In this eample the GCF is3. So when we factor, we have 3 (! ). Now we need to look at the polnomial remaining in the parentheses. Can this trinomial be factored into two binomials? In order to determine this make a list of all of the factors of Since = -11 and (-5)(-6) = 30 we should choose -5 and -6 in order to factor the epression. The epression factors into 3 (! 5)(! 6) Note: Not all epressions will have a GCF. If a trinomial epression does not have a GCF, proceed b tring to factor the trinomial into two binomials. II. Appling the difference of squares: a! b = ( a! b)( a + b) E. 4 3 "100 ( ) 4 " 5 ( )( + 5) 4 " 5 Since and 5 are perfect squares separated b a subtraction sign, ou can appl the difference of two squares formula. 13

13 PRACTICE SET 6 Factor each epression a b! 16ab + 8ab c 3.! 5 4. n + 8n g! 9g d + 3d! 8 7. z! 7z! m + 18m ! k + 30k!

14 F. Radicals To simplif a radical, we need to find the greatest perfect square factor of the number under the radical sign (the radicand) and then take the square root of that number. E. 1: 7 36 " 6 E. : " 9 " 10 4 " 3" E. 3: OR E. 3: " " 3 This is not simplified completel because 1 is divisible b 4 (another perfect square) 4 3 PRACTICE SET 7 Simplif each radical

15 G. Graphing Lines I. Finding the Slope of the Line that Contains each Pair of Points. Given two points with coordinates ( 1, 1) and (, ) the line containing the points is! m = 1.! E. (, 5) and (4, 1) E. (-3, ) and (, 3) 1! 5! 4 3! 1 m = = =! m = = 4!! (! 3) 5 1 The slope is -. The slope is 5 1, the formula for the slope, m, of PRACTICE SET 8 1. (-1, 4) and (1, -). (3, 5) and (-3, 1) 3. (1, -3) and (-1, -) 4. (, -4) and (6, -4) 5. (, 1) and (-, -3) 6. (5, -) and (5, 7) 16

16 II. Using the Slope Intercept Form of the Equation of a Line. The slope-intercept form for the equation of a line with slope m and -intercept b is 3 E. = 3! 1 E. =! Slope: 3 -intercept: -1 Slope:! -intercept: 4 = m + b. Place a point on the -ais at -1. Place a point on the -ais at. Slope is 3 or 3/1, so travel up 3 on Slope is -3/4 so travel down 3 on the the -ais and over 1 to the right. -ais and over 4 to the right. Or travel up 3 on the -ais and over 4 to the left. PRACTICE SET = + 5. =! 3 Slope: -intercept: Slope: -intercept: 17

17 3. =! =! 3 Slope: Slope: -intercept: -intercept 5. =! + 6. = Slope: Slope: -intercept: -intercept 18

18 III. Using Standard Form to Graph a Line. An equation in standard form can be graphed using several different methods. Two methods are eplained below. a. Re-write the equation in = m + b form, identif the -intercept and slope, then graph as in Part II above. b. Solve for the - and - intercepts. To find the -intercept, let = 0 and solve for. To find the -intercept, let = 0 and solve for. Then plot these points on the appropriate aes and connect them with a line. E.! 3 = 10 a. Solve for. OR b. Find the intercepts:! 3 =! + 10 let = 0 : let = 0:! + 10 =! 3! 3(0) = 10 (0)! 3 = =! 3 3 = 10! 3 = 10 = 5 10 =! 3 So -intercept is (5, 0) & 10 # So -intercept is $ 0,'! % 3 " On the -ais place a point at On the -ais place a point at! 3 Connect the points with the line. =!
