Algebra Review: Systems of Equations
* If you divide or multiply an inequality by a negative number, then you must reverse the inequality sign!
Notes Factoring Trinomials: Process: 1. Draw a by box. a. Place the first term in the upper left-hand box. b. Place the third term in the lower right-hand box.. Determine factors of the product a c that combine (add) to make b and place them in the opposite empty corners. (Use a factor-sum table.) 3. Pull out the GCF from each row. (If b is negative, the larger GCF will be negative.) 4. Reduce the terms inside the boxes as you pull out the GCF. If the reduced terms in each column are the same, then you factored correctly! 5. The pulled out GCF s are one factor, and the reduced terms are the other factor. 6. To solve for x, set each factor = 0, and solve each equation for x. Example 1: Solve by factoring x 7x 18 = 0 x Factors Sum GCF: and reduce List factors Which pair of a c = 18. adds to b = 7? x x x x x x 18 1 and 18 1 and 18 and 9 and 9 1 + 18 = 17 1 + 18 = 17 + 9 = 7 + 9 = 7 9x 18-9 9x x 18 Example : Solve by factoring 3x 14x 8 + + = 0 x 7x 18= 0 ( x 9)( x+ ) =0 x 9= 0 and x + = 0 x = 9 and x =
Simplifying Radicals When working with the simplification of radicals you must remember some basic information about perfect square numbers. You need to remember: Perfect Squares 4 = x 9 = 3 x 3 16 = 4 x 4 5 = 5 x 5 36 = 6 x 6 49 = 7 x 7 64 = 8 x 8 81 = 9 x 9 100 = 10 x 10 11 = 11 x 11 144 = 1 x 1 169 = 13 x 13 196 = 14 x 14 5 = 15 x 15 65 = 5 x 5 Radicals (square roots) = = 3 = 4 = 5 = 6 = 7 = 8 = 9 = 10 11 = 11 144 = 1 169 = 13 196 = 14 5 = 15 65 = 5 While the list of squares and square roots goes on infinitely, the ones appearing in the charts above are the ones most commonly used. To simplify means to find another expression with the same value. It does not mean to find a decimal approximation.
To simplify (or reduce) a radical: 1. find the largest perfect square which will divide evenly into the number under your radical sign. This means that when you divide, you get no remainders, no decimals, no fractions. the largest perfect square that Reduce: 48 divides evenly into 48 is 16. If the number under your radical cannot be divided evenly by any of the perfect squares, your radical is already in simplest form and cannot be reduced further.. write the number appearing under your radical as the product (multiplication) of the perfect square and your answer from dividing. 48 = 16 3 3. give each number in the product its own radical sign. 48 = 16 3 = 16 4. reduce the "perfect" radical which you have now created. 48 = 16 3 = 16 3 = 4 5. you now have your answer. 3 48 = 4 3 3 What happens if I do not choose the largest perfect square to start the process? If instead of choosing 16 as the largest perfect square to start this process, you choose 4, look what happens... 48 = 4 1 48 = 4 1 = 4 1 = 1 Unfortunately, this answer is not in simplest form. The 1 can also be divided by a perfect square (4). 1 = 4 3 = 4 3 = 3 = 4 3 If you do not choose the largest perfect square to start the process, you will have to repeat the process. Example: Reduce: 3 50 Don't let the number in front of the radical distract you. It is simply "along for the ride" and will be multiplied times our final answer. The largest perfect square dividing evenly into 50 is 5. 3 50 = 3 5 = 3 5 Reduce the "perfect" radical and multiply times the 3 (who is "along for the ride") 3 5 = 3 5 = 15

Vertical angles are. The sum of adjacent angles the whole. A bisector divides into two parts.) Next, set up an algebraic equation for this relationship. Finally, solve for x or the unknown angle.
