Chapter 2 Algebra and functions review 1.Operations on algebraic expressions You will need be able to apply the basic operations of arithmetic-addition,subtraction,multiplication and division-to algebraic expression. 2.Factoring The types of factoring included on the mathematics section are: 3.Exponents Definition Three Points to Remember 1.When multiplying expressions with the same base,add the exponents: 2.When dividing expressions with the same base,subtract exponents: 4.Evaluating expressions with exponents and roots You will need to know how to evaluate expressions involving exponents and roots. 5.Solving equations Most of the equations that you will need to solve are linear equations. Equations that are not linear can usually be solved by factoring or by inspection. 2) Solving for one variable in terms of another 6.Absolute value The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line. The absolute value of the number is denoted 7.Direct translation into mathematical expressions Many words require you to translate the verbal description of a mathematical fact or relationship into mathematical terms. 8.Inequalities An inequality is a statement that one quantity is greater than or less than another. Inequalities are shown using four symbols: 9.Systems of linear equations and inequalities You may be asked to solve systems of two or more linear equations or inequalities. For example:For what values of a and b are the following equations both true? 10.Solving quadratic equations by factoring You may be asked to solve quadratic equations that can be factored.(You will not be expect to know the quadratic formula) 11.Rational equations and inequalities A rational algebraic expression is the quotient of two expressions.An example is 12.Direct and inverse variation The quantities x an d y are directly proportional if for some constant k. Example 1 The number of juice packs that Rambling Pines Day Camp buys each day is
