FRACTION RULES
FRACTION RULES
SPECIAL NOTE:
You can’t divide by zero! The denominator of a fraction can never be
equal to zero.
equals zero, but is undefined.
It’s easy to see why is undefined when you consider how division works:
This tells you, of course, that 2 goes into 8 four times; in other words, 2+2
+2 +2= 8.
Well, how many zeros would you need to add up to make 5? You can’t do
it, and so you can’t divide 5 (or any other number) by zero.
NEGATIVE FRACTIONS
CANCELLATION
Mixed numbers are shorthand for addition and not multiplication. For
example, 2 means 2+ and NOT 2* .

PROPERTIES OF
EXPONENTS
WHAT ARE EXPONENTS?
Exponents are shorthand for repeated
multiplication of the same thing by itself.
When we deal with numbers, we usually just simplify; we'd rather deal with
"27" than with "33". But with variables, we need the exponents, because we'd
rather deal with "x6" than with "xxxxxx".

03 ALGEBRAIC
EXPRESSIONS?
BASIC STEPS TO FOLLOW TO SIMPLIFY
AN ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION:
Use the distributive property to get rid of the first two sets of
parentheses and apply the property of exponent at the last term of the
expression.
¿ 𝟏𝟎+𝟓 𝒙 +𝟏𝟓 𝒙+𝟏𝟐 − 𝒙 𝟒
Look for like terms and combine them. Here, we 5x and
15x (both with same variable raised to same power), 10
and 12 as constant terms.
¿ 𝟐𝟎 𝒙 − 𝒙 𝟒 +𝟐𝟐
LET’S DO IT!
WAIT THERE’S MORE……..
¿ − 𝒙 𝟒 +𝟐𝟎 𝒙+𝟐𝟐
If you want to eliminate the negative sign in the first
term, you may multiply the whole expression to -1
𝒙 𝟒 − 𝟐𝟎 𝒙 −𝟐𝟐

RADIANS
RADIANS
A unit for measuring angles. 180° = π radians, and 360° = 2π radians. The
number of radians in an angle equals the number of radii it takes to
measure a circular arc described by that angle.
Formula: θ = s/r
θ = measure of the central angle in radians
s = arc length
r = radius of the circle
RADIANS
EXAMPLE:
Given values:
r= 5
s= 10
θ = s/r
θ = 10/5
θ = 2 radians
COMMONLY USED ANGLES IN DEGREES
AND RADIANS
CONVERSION OF ANGLES
(DEGREES TO RADIANS)
The general formula for converting from degrees to radians is to simply
multiply the number of degrees by π/180∘.
EXAMPLES:
200° 120°
EXAMPLES:
radians radians
EQUATION OF A
05 LINE
COMMON FORMS FOR THE EQUATION OF A
LINE
In all forms, slope is
represented by m, the
x-intercept by a, and
the y-intercept by b.
The length of the shortest segment from a given point to a given line.
Note that this is simply the average of the x-coordinates and the average
of the y-coordinates.
