EXPRESSIONS What is an expression?
An expression is a mathematical statement that consists of terms and represents a value
The difference between expressions and equations is that equations have an equal sign and expressions do not.
If we see an expression with an equal sign, then there is no value on the other side of the equal sign. What are terms?
Terms are parts of an expression separated by a “+” or “-” sign.

SIMPLIFYING EXPRESSIONSWhat are like terms?
Like terms are terms that either have the same variable and power or have no variable at all.
Example of like terms – 7x + 2 – 4x – 1 In the expression above, 7x and -4x are like terms, and 2 and -1 are like terms.
What does it mean to “combine” like terms?When like terms are “combined,” they are added together.

SOLVING LINEAR EQUATIONS
When we solve linear equations, we are trying to find the numerical value of the variable.
In trying to find the numerical value of the variable, we are isolating the variable by performing inverse operations.
Sometimes, this requires us to combine like terms, use the Distributive Property, or do both.

SETTING UP AND SOLVING EQUATIONS
When we set up equations from word problems, we must first identify all of our variables (known and unknown).
Next we must translate the words in the problem to math symbols so that we can derive an equation.
Then we replace all known variables with their numerical value and solve for the unknown variable.
Finally, answer the question in a complete sentence.

EXAMPLE OF SETTING UP AND SOLVING EQUATIONS
Example 1 –
A skating rink charges $125 per hour and $6 per guest in order to rent the rink for a party. If we rented the rink for two hours and 200 people attended the party, then how much did the rink charge us?
Solution –
Let C be the total amount that the rink charges. Let h be the number of hours the rink is rented.Let p be the number of people who attend the party
C = 125h + 6pC = 125(2) + 6(200)C = 250 + 1200C = 1450
The rink charged $1450.

MORE EXAMPLES OF SETTING UP AND SOLVING EQUATIONS
Example 2 –
A large bookshelf holds 50 books, and a small bookshelf holds 20 books. How many books are there if 4 large bookshelves and 6 small bookshelves are filled?
Solution –
Let B be the total amount of books.Let l be the number of large bookshelvesLet s be the number of small bookshelves
B = 50l + 20sB = 50(4) + 20(6)B = 200 + 120B = 320
There are a total of 320 books.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF SETTING UP AND SOLVING
EQUATIONSExample 3 –
A hotel charges $80 per night and $10 per family member per night to rent a room. How much would a family of four be charged to rent a room for five nights?
Solution –
Let C be the total cost.Let n be the number of nights for which the room is rented.Let f be the number of family members
C = 80n + 10(f)(n)C = 80(5) + 10(4)(5)C = 400 + 200C = 600
The hotel charged $600 for a family of four to rent a room for five nights.

SOLVING “WORK” WORD PROBLEMS
When solving “work” word problems, we are trying to find out how long it takes two or more people to do a job together if we know how long it takes them to do the job individually.
Also, we can find out how long it takes a person to do a job individually if we know how long it takes another person to do the job individually and if we know how long it takes them to do the job together.

EXAMPLE OF SOLVING “WORK” WORD PROBLEMS
Example 1 –
Ijahanna takes 3 hours to do her homework. It takes Emmanuel 4 hours to do his homework. How long would it take them to do their homework if they worked together?
Solution –
Let t be the time it takes both of them to do their homework together.
the amount of work Ijahanna gets done in 1 hour
the amount of work Emmanuel gets done in 1 hour
+ = 1 “1” represents 1 hour(12) + (12) = (12)1 4t + 3t = 12 7t = 12 = t = 1.7
So, it would take Ijahanna and Emmanuel 1.7 hours to do their homework together.

SOLVING DISTANCE-RATE-TIME WORD PROBLEMS
When solving distance-rate-time word problems, we must first know that distance = rate x time or d = r ∙ t
Another word for rate is speed. Also, we must know what we are trying to
find. Then we must identify what we know already
from the problem. Finally, we must set up and solve the
equation.

EXAMPLE OF SOLVING DISTANCE-RATE-TIME WORD
PROBLEM
Example 1 –
Joe left the hospital and traveled toward the recycling plant at an average speed of 27 km/h. Kristin left some time later traveling in the same direction at an average speed of 45 km/h. After traveling for three hours, Kristin caught up with Joe. How long did Joe travel before Kristin caught up?
Solution –
What are we trying to find?
We are trying to find out how many hours Joe traveled before Kristin caught up with him.
What do we already know?
We know Joe’s speed was 27 km/h.
We know Kristin’s speed was 45 km/h.
We know Kristin’s travel time was 3 hours.
We know they both traveled the same distance.
We know d = r ∙ t
How do we set up an equation?
Since they both traveled the same distance, Joe’s “rate x time” must equal Kristin’s “rate x time”
Since we don’t know Joe’s travel time, we’ll let it be t.
27t = 45(3)
27t = 135
t = 5
So, Joe traveled for 5 hours before Kristin caught up with him.

Gabriella left James’ house and drove toward Uptown. Three hours later, Shayna left driving at 70 mph in an effort to catch up to Gabriella. After driving for two hours, Shayna finally caught up. What was Gabriella’s average speed?
Solution –
What are we trying to find?We are trying to find Gabriella’s average speed or her rate.
What do we already know?We know Shayna’s speed was 70 mph.We know Shayna drove for 2 hours.We know Gabriella drove for 5 hours.We know that d = r ∙ tWe know that they went the same distance since Shayna caught up with Gabriella.
How do we set up an equation?Since they both traveled the same distance, Gabriella’s “rate x time” must equal Shayna’s “rate x time.”Since we don’t know Gabriella’s rate, we will let it be r.
r ∙ 5 = 70(2)5r = 140 r = 28
So, Gabriella drove at an average speed of 28 mph.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF SOLVING DISTANCE-RATE-TIME
WORD PROBLEM
Example 3 –
Allan left school two hours before Tony. They drove in opposite directions. Tony drove at 25 mph for one hour. After this time, they were 160 miles apart. What was Allan’s speed?
![Page 41: XEI: E XPRESSIONS, EQUATIONS, AND INEQUALITIES. EXPRESSIONS What is an expression? An expression is a mathematical statement that consists of terms and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649eb65503460f94bbefd6/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
SOLUTION TO PREVIOUS EXAMPLE
What are we trying to find?We are trying to find Allan’s speed or rate.
What do we already know?We know that Tony and Allan drove in opposite directions from school.We know Tony drove for 1 hour.We know Allan drove for 3 hours, since he left 2 hours before Tony.We know Tony’s speed was 25 mph.We know that after 3 hours of driving for Allan and 1 hour of driving for Tony, they were 160 miles apart.
How do we solve?First, we find the distance that Tony drove by multiplying his rate by his time.d = r ∙ td = 25(1)d = 25So, Tony drove 25 miles.
Next, we find the distance Allan drove by subtracting the distance Tony drove from the distance they were apart.160 – 25 = 135
Finally, we find Allan’s rate by using the d = r ∙ t formula.d = r ∙ t 135 = r ∙ 3135 = 3rr = 35So, Allan drove at a speed of 45 mph.

FUNCTIONS A function is how
something works. A function in math is a
relation between a set of inputs and a set of outputs.
The output of a function f corresponding to an input x is denoted by f(x) (read as “f” of “x”).
For example, in the function f(x) = x² the output will be the square of the input. So, f(4) = 4² = 16. Four is the input and 16 is the output.

PROPERTIES OF EXPONENTS Exponents consist of a base and a power.
For example: 5² 5 is the base and 2 is the power (read as five to the second power).
When we multiply exponents and the bases are the same, then we add the powers (xa ∙ xb = xa+b).
For example: 5² ∙ 5³ = 52+3 = 55
When we raise an exponent to another power, then we multiply the powers ( (xa)b = xa∙b ).
For example: (5²)³ = 52∙3 = 56
When we divide exponents and the bases are the same, then we subtract the powers ( = xa – b ).
For example: = 5-1

MORE PROPERTIES OF EXPONENTS
When a base is raised to a negative power, then it is the same as one over that same base raised to the opposite power (x-a = ).
For example: 5-2 = Any base (except 0) raised to the 0 power is
1(x0 = 1 when x ≠ 0).
For example: 50 = 1 When a number or variable does not show a
power, assume that the power is 1 (x = x1 ).For example: 5 = 51

EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENCE OF SQUARES
Example 1 – x² − 81 = (x + 9)(x – 9)since x² and 81 are perfect squares
Example 2 – x² − 100 = (x + 10)(x – 10)since x² and 100 are perfect squares
Example 3 – 4x² − 49 = (2x + 7)(2x – 7) since 4x² and 49 are perfect squares

SOLVING SIMPLE QUADRATIC EQUATIONS
When we solve quadratic equations, we must first make sure that the right side of the equation is 0 and then factor the quadratic expression on the left side of the equation.
Next, we set both factors equal to 0 and then we solve for the variable in both equations.
Example 1 –
Solve the following equation:
x² − 2x – 48 = 0
Solution –
(x – 8)(x + 6) = 0x – 8 = 0 or x + 6 = 0So, x = 8 or x = -6

QUADRATIC EQUATIONSExample 2 –
Solve the following equation:
x² + 10x = -16
Solution –
x² + 10x + 16 = 0 add 16 to both sides to put 0 on right side
(x + 8)(x + 2) = 0 factor left side
x + 8 = 0 or x + 2 = 0 set both factors equal to 0 and solve for x
So, x = -8 or x = -2

Example 3 –
Solve the following equation:
x² − x = 20
Solution –
x² − x – 20 = 0 subtract 20 from both sides to make right side equal 0
(x – 5)(x + 4) = 0 factor quadratic on left
x – 5 = 0 or x + 4 = 0 set both factors equal to 0 and then solve for x
So, x = 5 or x = -4
