Name Date PRECALCULUS SUMMER PACKET This packet covers some of the cocepts that you eed to e familiar with i order to e successful i Precalculus. This summer packet is due o the first day of school! Make sure to show all work! Some study tips to help you with the packet: If you are ufamiliar with ay of the cocepts elow, you should start y doig a search for the topic title or the cocepts i Google. This will take you to a variety of wesites that ca help explai the cocept. Kha Academy is great for videos o the cocepts! YouTue is awesome for videos as well. INTERVAL NOTATION Iterval otatio is aother way to represet iequalities. For example, x > ca e writte as (, ) sice all of the values of x that satisfy this iequality are i the iterval from to ifiity. Aother example, x ca e writte as (, ] sice all the values of x that satisfy this iequality are i the iterval from to. The iterval otatio for this iequality uses the racket o the sice x ca actually equal. Write the iterval otatio for each iequality. 1) x 7 ) x < 18 ) 4 < x < 4 4) 5 < x 5

Fractioal Expressios A fractioal expressio is a quotiet of two algeraic expressios. As i ay fractio, the deomiator may ot equal zero, divisio y zero is ot permitted. A special case of fractioal expressios is the quotiet of two polyomials, which is referred to as a ratioal expressio. Follow these three steps i simplifyig fractioal expressios ad ratioal expressios. Step 1 Factor the umerator ad the deomiator if possile Step Determie ay values that would make the deomiator equal to zero. Step Remove ay factors of oe, factors that are the same i the umerator ad deomiator. Example 1: Simplify the fractioal expressio ad determie ay restricted values. x + x 10 x 5 Step 1 Factor x + x 10 ( x + 5 )( x ) x 5 ( x + 5) ( x 5) Step Determie Restricted Values x ±5 Step Remove Factors of Oe x + x 10 ( x + 5 )( x ) x 5 x + 5 x 5 ( x 5) ( x ) Example : Simplify the fractioal expressio ad determie ay restricted values. x 5x x + x 10 x 5x ( x +1) ( x ) Step 1 Factor x + x 10 ( x + 5) ( x ) Step Determie Restricted Values x 5, x Step Remove Factors of Oe Prolems for Fractioal Expressios Simplify each if possile ad state ay restrictios. x 5x x + x 10 ( x ) ( x ) x +1 x + 5 x +1 x + 5 1.
