SUMMER MATH PACKET Geometry A COURSE 7
MATH SUMMER PACKET INSTRUCTIONS Attached you will find a packet of exciting math problems for your enjoyment over the summer. The purpose of the summer packet is to review the topics you have already mastered in math and to make sure that you are prepared for the class you are about to enter. The packet contains a brief summary and explanation of the topics so you don t need to worry if you don t have your math book. You will find many sample problems, which would be great practice for you before you try your own problems. The explanations are divided into sections to match the sample problems so you should be able to reference the examples easily. This packet will be due the second day of class. All of your hard work will receive credit. The answers are provided in the back of the packet; however, you must show an amount of work appropriate to each problem in order to receive credit. If you are unsure of how much work to show, let the sample problems be your guide. You will have an opportunity to show off your skills during the first week when your class takes a quiz on the material in the packet. This packet is to help you maximize your previous math courses and to make sure that everyone is starting off on an even playing field on the first day of school. If you feel that you need additional help on one or two topics, you may want to try math websites such as: www.mathforum.org or www.askjeeves.com. Math teachers will be available for assistance at the high school the week before school. Check the school website for specific dates and times. Enjoy your summer and don t forget about the packet. August will be here before you know it! If you lose your packet, you will be able to access the packets online at the school website, www.oprfhs.org starting May 0 th. Extra copies may be available in the OPRFHS bookstore. See you in August! The OPRFHS Math Department 1
Summer Packet For Students Entering Plane Geometry Honors or Accelerate Level Name: Welcome to Geometry! This packet contains the topics that you have learned in your previous courses that are most important to geometry. Please read the information, do the problems, and be prepared to turn this in when school begins again. Enjoy your summer! I. Using your graphing calculator Be able to find the intersection of graphs You will need to find the roots of equations on your calculator Do not be dependent on your calculator for graphing Do not be dependent on your calculator for simple algebra, adding fractions, etc. II. Cartesian Coordinate System Quadrants, axes, and graphs Different forms of the equation of a line: standard, point-slope o Point Slope Form ( y - y 1 ) = m (x - x 1 ) o Standard Form Ax + By = C change y y = Slope (incredibly important in geometry); think change x x Slope of parallel and perpendicular lines means parallel and means perpendicular III. Simplifying Algebraic Expressions Remember Order of Operations: Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication/Division and Addition/Subtraction ("Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally") When simplifying rational expressions, remember to simplify the numerator and denominator separately before checking if something cancels. 1 5 x 5 0 Rules of Exponents: ( x )( x ) = x, = x, ( x ) = x 11 x
Examples: Simplify the following a) 1 ( 5) + 5 10 b) 1 ( ) + 5 10 1 9 + 5 10 1 1 1 9 + 1 1 9+ = 0 (9 ) () 1 9 1 9 7 IV. Solving Equations & Inequalities Be able to solve multi-step equations using order of operations, distributive property and inverse operations. ex. Solve: 5x ( x 5) = 7x 5x x+ 10 = 7x x+ 10 = 7x 1 = x x = Be able to solve inequalities using the same process as solving equations. Just remember that if you multiply or divide by a negative, you must switch the inequality sign. ex. Solve: (y ) 9(y+ 5) 1y+ 1y+ 5 0y 7 7 y 0 Be able to solve proportions: 10 = x+ 1 x x= 10x+ 10 cross multiply x = 10 5 x = fraction reduced
V. Interval notation and conjunctions The word "and" corresponds to "intersection" and to the symbol " ". Any solution of a conjunction must make each part of the conjunction true. The word "or" corresponds to "union" and to the symbol " ". For a number to be a solution of a disjunction, it must be in at least one of the solutions sets of the individual sentences. Interval notation is used in inequalities, domain and range, solution sets, etc. For a boundary point to be included, the symbol "[ " or "]" is used. For a boundary point not to be included, the symbol "(" or ")" is used. Ex. Solve: x 5< or x < 10 x < or x < 7 x > or x < 7 Solution set is (, 7 ), solve each separately Ex. Solve: x 5 and x 5 11 Solution set is [,1] x 1 and x
VI. Solving Systems of Equations & Inequalities Methods to Solving Systems: Graphing, Substitution, Elimination 5
VII. Simplifying Radicals a Know that for any real number a, Simplifying radicals, means taking out the factors that are perfect squares. Be careful with simplifying algebraic expressions. x x x x + 1 + 1 instead = a x x x x + 1 = ( ) = Examples: Simplify the following = ( a+ 1) = a+ 1 5 = VIII. Solving Quadratics Standard form of a quadratic equation: ax + bx + c = 0 Be able to solve quadratics using factoring, quadratic formula and graphing Remember to set equations equal to 0 before solving Factoring: x = x x + x = 0 Set equation equal to 0 ( x )( x+ 1) = 0 Factor equation x = 0 and x + 1= 0 Set each factor equal to 0 x = and x = -1 Solve each equation Quadratic Formula: ex. Solve To solve ax bx c + + = 0 and a 0 b ± b ac Then x = a 5x + x= using the quadratic formula 5x x 0 + + = a = 5, b =, c = ± x = (5)() (5) ± x = Split the plus and minus apart 10 x = or x = 1 5 7
