Classifying Real Numbers


The real numbers consist of the rational numbers and the irrational numbers.
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a quotient of an integer
divided by a nonzero integer. (The integers are the numbers ... , —3, —2, —1, 0,
1, 2, 3, ....) The decimal representations of rational numbers terminate or repeat.
The irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as the quotient
of two integers. Their decimal representations neither terminate nor repeat.
Frequently, real numbers are called signed numbers because they are positive,
negative, or zero.

The three dots

Rational and Irrational Roots


A letter that is
If n is a positive integer, an nth root of x is a number that when used as a
used to represent factor n times gives x, the number’s nth power. The notation «x is a radical.
anumber isa It indicates an nth root of the number x. The number n is the index, and
variable. x is the radicand. If n is a positive even integer and x is positive, then Vx
indicates the positive real nth root of x. (Even roots of negative numbers are
not real numbers.) If 1 is a positive odd integer and x is any real number, then
Vx indicates the real nth root of x. A number that is an exact nth power of
another number is a perfect nth power. Roots of perfect nth powers are rational
numbers, while roots that cannot be determined exactly are irrational numbers.
Decimal representations of irrational numbers are given as approximations. For
example, V2 ~ 1.414.

> \/3 — Irrational because 3 is not a perfect square.

EXAMPLE — Rational because */—8 = —2.
> —/36 — Rational because —/36 = —6.
b ¥20 — Irrational because 20 is not a perfect 4th power.
» —16 — Nota real number.

The Number Line


The real numbers make up the real number line (or simply, the number line).
Every real number corresponds to a point on the number line, and every point
on the number line corresponds to a real number.

Comparing Numbers
Symbols used in comparing numbers are the following: = (is equal to), #
(is not equal to), < (is less than), > (is greater than), < (is less than or equal to),
Two numbers are and = (is greater than or equal to). If two numbers coincide, they are equal;
distinct if they
otherwise, they are unequal. When you compare two distinct numbers, the
are not the same
number.
number that is farther to the right on the number line is the greater number.

Determining Absolute Value


The absolute value of a real number is its distance from zero on the number
line. The absolute value of a positive number is the same as the number itself.
The absolute value of a negative number is its opposite. The absolute value
of zero is 0. Use absolute value bars (|) to indicate absolute value.

(Algebraic) Addition and Subtraction of Real


Numbers
Rule 1. To add two nonzero numbers that have the same sign, add their
absolute values, and then afhx their common sign to the result.

Rule 2. To add two nonzero numbers that have opposite signs, subtract
the lesser absolute value from the greater absolute value, and then affix the
sign of the number with the greater absolute value to the result; if the two
numbers have the same absolute value, their sum is 0.

Rule 3. The sum of 0 and any number is the number.

Rule 4. To subtract two numbers, add the opposite of the second number
to the first number using rule 1, 2, or 3.

Exponents

A: exponent is a small raised number written to the upper right of a


quantity, called the base for the exponent. This representation is
an exponential expression.

Positive Integer Exponents


If n is a positive integer, then x” = x-x-x-----x. A positive integer exponent
n factors of x
tells you how many times to use the base as a factor. For example, 3-3-3 - 3-3
is written as 3°. Most commonly, the exponential expression 3° is read as “three
to the fifth.” Other ways you might read 3° are “three to the fifth power” or
“three raised to the fifth power.” For the exponents 2 and 3, the second power of
a number is the square of the number and the third power of a number is the
cube of the number.

Adding and Subtracting Monomials


Monomials that are constants or that have exactly the same variable factors
(that is, same letters with the same corresponding exponents) are like terms.
Like terms are the same except, perhaps, for their coefficients. Monomials that
are not like terms are unlike terms.
Use the distributive property to add (or subtract) like terms. The sum
(or difference) of unlike terms can only be indicated.

Method 2 To multiply two binomials, use FOIL.


From Method 1, you can see that to find the product of two binomials, you
compute four products, called partial products, using the terms of the two
binomials. The FOIL method is a quick way to get those four partial products.
FOIL is an acronym for first, outer, inner, and last. Here is how FOIL works for
finding the four partial products for (a + b)(c + d).
Be aware that the
FOIL method works
only for the product 1 . Multiply the two First terms. a-c

Dividing a Polynomial by a Polynomial


You can use long division to divide two polynomials when the divisor is not
a monomial. The procedure is very similar to the long division algorithm of
arithmetic.

Step 1. Arrange the terms of both the dividend and the


divisor in descending powers of the variable.

Step 2. Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term
of the divisor, and record the result as the first term of
the quotient.

Step 3. Multiply all terms of the divisor by the first term


of the quotient, and enter the product under the
dividend.
Dividing Polynomials 61

Step 4. Subtract the product in Step 3 from the entire


dividend.

Step 5. Treat the difference in Step 4 as a new dividend; and


repeat Steps 2, 3, and 4 until the remainder is no
longer divisible.

Definition of a Rational Expression


A rational expression is an algebraic expression that can be written as the
ratio of two polynomials. Because division by 0 is undefined, you must exclude
all real values for the variable (or variables) that would make the denominator
polynomial evaluate to 0. Be mindful of this restriction.

Adding and Subtracting Rational


Expressions, Unlike Denominators
To add (or subtract) rational expressions that have different denominators: first,
factor each denominator completely; next, find the least common denominator,
which is the least product that is divisible by each denominator; then, convert
each rational expression to one having the common denominator as a
denominator; and, finally, add (or subtract) as for like denominators.

One-Variable
Linear Equations
and Inequalities

Basic Concepts
An equation is a statement of equality between two mathematical expressions.
Whatever is on the left side of the equal sign is the left side of the equation, and
whatever is on the right side of the equal sign is the right side of the equation.
An equation is true when both the left side and the right side have the same
value. Equations that contain only numbers are either true or false.

EXAMPLE
;

A one-variable equation is one that contains only one variable that serves as
a placeholder for a number or numbers in the equation. A one-variable equation
is an identity if it is true for all admissible values of the variable. A one-variable
equation is a conditional equation if it is true for only some values of the
variable, but not for other values. A one-variable equation is a contradiction if it
is false no matter what value is substituted for the variable.

To solve a one-variable linear equation means to find a numerical value for


the variable that makes the equation true. The goal in solving a one-variable
linear equation is to get the variable by itself on only one side of the equation
and with a coefficient of 1 (usually understood).
Use the properties of real numbers and simple algebraic tools to solve
equations. An equation is like a balance scale. To keep the equation in balance,
when you do something to one side of the equation, you must do the same thing
to the other side of the equation. As you solve the equation, undo what has been
done to the variable until you get an expression like this: variable = solution.

Tools for Solving One-Variable Linear Equations

» Add the same number to both sides.


» Subtract the same number from both sides.
» Multiply both sides by the same nonzero number. lege
an equation,
» Divide both sides by the same nonzero number. remember that you
must never multiply
or divide both sides
by zero.

Application of one or more of these tools will yield an equation that is


equivalent to the original equation. Equations that have the same solution
are equivalent equations. Decide which operation to do based on what has
been done to the variable. As you proceed, exploit the fact that addition and
subtraction undo each other; and, similarly, multiplication and division undo
one another.

If you replace the equal sign in a linear equation with <, >, <, or >, the result is
a linear inequality. Solve linear inequalities just about the same way you solve
equations. There is just one important difference: When you multiply or divide
both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the direction
of the inequality symbol.

Quadratic equations are always solvable for the variable given; however, in some
instances, the solution will yield complex numbers, not real numbers. The solution
values that make the quadratic equation true are its roots. For the purpose of this
book, the discussion of quadratic equations will be restricted to real number roots.
When you are instructed to solve the equation ax’ + bx + c= 0, find all real
values for x that make the equation true. ~

Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring


When you solve a quadratic equation by factoring, first make sure the equation
is in standard form. Then factor the nonzero side. Next, apply the zero factor
property that states the following: If the product of two numbers is zero, then
at least one of the numbers is zero. Accordingly, set each factor equal to zero.
Finally, solve the two resulting linear equations for x.

quadratic formula: , — —btivVb’ — 4ac . The expression under the radical,


2a
b? — 4ac, is called the discriminant of the quadratic equation. If b* — 4ac = 0,
there is only one root for the equation. If b? — 4ac > 0, there are two real
number roots. And if b? — 4ac < 0, there is no real number root. In the latter
case, both roots are complex numbers because this solution involves the square

The Coordinate Plane and Ordered Pairs


The Cartesian coordinate plane (also called the xy-plane) is defined by two
real number lines, one horizontal and one vertical, intersecting at right angles
at their zero points. The two real number lines are the coordinate axes. The
horizontal axis, commonly the x-axis, has positive direction to the right, and

the vertical axis, commonly the y-axis, has positive direction upward. The two
axes determine a plane. Their point of intersection is called the origin.
In the coordinate plane, each point P in the plane corresponds to an ordered
pair (x, y) of real numbers x and y, called its coordinates. The ordered pair
(0, 0) names the origin. An ordered pair of numbers is written in a definite
order so that one number is first and the other is second. The first number is the
x-coordinate (or abscissa), and the second number is the y-coordinate
(or ordinate). The order in the ordered pair (x, y) that corresponds to a point
P is important. The first coordinate, x, is the perpendicular horizontal distance
(right or left) of the point P from the y-axis. If x is positive, P is to the right of
the y-axis, and if x is negative, it is to the left of it. The second coordinate, y, is
the perpendicular vertical distance (up or down) of the point P from the x-axis.
If y is positive, P is above the x-axis; if y is negative, it is below it.

Steps in Algebraic Problem-Solving


To be successful with solving word problems, you need to take a systematic Resist the urge
approach. Here are suggested steps for using an algebraic approach to solving to solve ward
word problems. problems by trial
Step 1. Understand the problem. alee! dee
only with simplistic
Is it a problem that fits a familiar type (for example, a number problem, problems and is
percentage problem, mixture problem)? Identify what the problem is asking often futile for
you to determine. In other words, what is the question? Look for words/ mereconplced
° . situations.
phrases such as determine, what is, how many, how far, how much, find, and
so on. Identify the unknown(s) that will lead to a solution.

Step 2. Represent the unknown(s) with variable expressions. Cheocihe tant


letter of the name
As you represent unknowns, make explicit statements such as “Let x = ...” of an unknown
so it is clear what each variable represents. Specify the variable’s units, if as its variable
applicable. representation
can help you keep
In problems with one or more unknowns, assign a variable name to ee ees
one of the unknowns. Next, identify relationships that allow you to express
the other unknowns in terms of that variable. If one of the unknowns
is described in terms of another unknown, designate the variable as the
unknown used in the description. For example, if Josie is twice as old as
Micah, then let M = Micah’s age (in years) and 2M = Josie’s age (in years).

Step 3. Analyze the question information.

Using the variable representations determined in Step 2, record what you


know including units, if any. Write a statement of equality that accurately
models the facts/relationships in the problem. If units are involved, check
that the indicated calculations will result in proper units (see the next lesson
for an additional discussion of this topic).

Step 4. Use algebraic symbolism to model the problem.

Represent the statement of equality from Step 3 by an equation. Reread the


problem to make sure your equation accurately represents the situation
given.

Step 5. Solve the equation.

Use algebra to solve the equation. For convenience you can omit units while
solving equations, because you have already checked that the results will
have the proper units.

Step 6. State your solution and assess its reasonableness.

State the solution in words. Did you answer the question asked? Did you
include the units, if applicable? Does your solution make sense in the context
of the problem?
Keep in mind that problem solving seldom occurs in a linear fashion. Not
Be flexible.
The process is infrequently, you will have to go back to a previous step. As you gain confidence

Be Careful with Units


Word problems often involve quantities that are specified with units (such as
20 inches, 4.5 pounds, 2.5 hours, 5 years, 60 miles per hour, $200, etc.). (See
Appendix A for a Measurement Units and Conversions table.) In mathematical
computations involving units, a completely defined quantity has both a
numerical component and a units component. The units must undergo the
same mathematical operations that are performed on the numerical component
of the quantity. You perform operations on units like you do on numbers.
You can add or subtract units only if they can be expressed as like units.

Ratio and Proportion Problems


A ratio is a quotient of two quantities. In word problems, if two quantities are in
the ratio a to b and you know their sum is c, express the two quantities as
ax and bx, where x is a common factor. Next, solve ax + bx = ¢, for x, and then
compute ax or bx, whichever is needed.

Increasing, Decreasing, and Constant Behavior


A function is increasing on an interval if the output values increase as the
input values increase over the interval. Similarly, a function is decreasing on
an interval if the output values decrease as the input values increase over that
interval. A function is constant on an interval if the output values stay constant
as the input values increase over the interval.

Linear Functions
The graph of the linear function f(x) = mx + b is a nonvertical line with slope
m and y-intercept b. When m = 0, the graph has exactly one y-intercept, ,

crosses the x-axis at the point -2, 0|. If m > 0, fis an increasing function;
m A
and if m < 0, fis a decreasing function.
When m = 0, f(x) = b is the constant function and its graph is a horizontal
line with slope 0 and y-intercept b. Constant functions either have no zeros or
infinitely many zeros according to the following guideline: If b = 0, they have
no zeros; if b = 0, every real number x is a zero.

The function f(x) = b* (b = 1, b > 0) is the exponential function, with base b.
Because b* > 0 for every real number x, the exponential function’s graph
does not cross the x-axis. Thus, there are no zeros and no x-intercepts. The
y-intercept is f(0) = b° = 1. The graph passes through the points (0, 1) and (1, b)

Definition and Terminology for Systems of


Two-Variable Linear Equations
A system of two linear equations in two variables consists of a pair of linear
equations in the same two variables. To solve a system of linear equations in
two variables means to find all ordered pairs of values for the two variables
that make both equations true simultaneously. An ordered pair that makes
an equation true satisfies the equation. When an ordered pair makes both
equations in a system true, the ordered pair satisfies the system.

» Determine whether the given ordered pair satisfies the system.

possibilities: the system has exactly one solution, no solution, or infinitely many
solutions.

Geometrically, you can represent the two equations of a system of linear


equations in two variables as two lines in the coordinate plane. For the two
lines, three possibilities can occur, corresponding to the three possibilities
for the solution set. If the system has exactly one solution, then the two lines
intersect in a unique point in the plane. The ordered pair that corresponds to
the point of intersection is the solution to the system. If the system has infinitely
many solutions, then the two lines are coincident (that is, have all points in
common). If the system has no solutions, then the two lines are parallel in the
plane.

Graphing Two-Variable Linear Inequalities


The graph of a two-variable linear inequality is the half-plane that contains all
solutions to the inequality. To graph the inequality, do the following: Transform
the inequality into an equivalent form in which you have only y on the left side
of the inequality symbol. Next, replace the inequality symbol with an equal
sign. Then graph the resulting linear function to obtain a boundary line for
the inequality. Use a dashed line for < and >, and a solid line for < and >.
If the inequality contains < or <, shade the portion of the plane beneath the
boundary line. If the inequality > or >, shade the portion of the plane above
the boundary line.

The graph of a two-variable quadratic inequality is the half-plane that contains
all solutions to the inequality. To graph the inequality, do the following:
Transform the inequality into an equivalent form in which you have only y on
the left side of the inequality symbol. Next, replace the inequality symbol with
an equal sign. Then graph the resulting quadratic function to obtain a boundary
parabola for the inequality. Use a dashed curve for < and >, and a solid curve
for < and >. If the inequality contains < or <, shade the portion of the plane
beneath the boundary parabola. If the inequality > or >, shade the portion of
the plane above the boundary parabola.
