 1Common Types of Algebraic Expressions
• Linear Equation: Called linear because graph is a
1
single line. Equation = y = mx + b,
x will always be to the power of 1 only. ( or in the case of many variables –
they will also only be to the power of 1) m is known as slope and b at that
point on which it cuts y axis.

• Quadratic equation. The highest exponent in a

quadratic equations is 2. Equation: ax22 + bx + c = 0,
where a, b and c are numbers and a is never zero.

• Exponential Equations: An equation which has

variables in the place of exponents (ab ,4x ,8x )
 2 Definitions: Algebraic Expressions
A Variable is a letter or symbol that represents a
number (unknown quantity). x
Constants are numbers on their own: -3
Coefficients: the number the variable is multiplied by: 5
An Algebraic
equation is an expression
that consists of coefficients,
variables and constants and is a
statement that 2 quantities are
equal

 Solving Algebraic Equations
An equation is a statement that two expressions are equal. So
you need to determine all the values of the variable that make the
equation a true statement.
1. Addition Rule: add the same quantity to both sides to obtain an
equivalent equation: x - a = b so (x-a)+a = b+a. x= b+a
2. Subtraction Rule: subtract the same quantity from both sides to
get an equivalent equation x + a = b so (x+a)–a = b-a x = b-a
3. Multiplication Rule: multiply both sides by the same quantity to
get an equivalent equation x/a = b so x/a . a = ba x = ba
4. Division Rule: divide both sides by the same quantity to get an
equivalent equation: ax =b so ax/ a = b/ a x = b/a

is multiplied by a factor, then every term of
the sum must be multiplied by that factor.

 With Calculator
If 2x - 2y = 5, and x + y = 6, what is the value of
x2 – y2?
OR
2x - 2y = 5 Remember: x2 – y2 = (x + y)(x-y)
-2 (x + y = 6)
2x - 2y = 5 2x - 2y = 5
-2x - 2y = -12 x+y = 6
0x - 4y = -7 x - y = 2.5 Divide by 2
y = 7/4 = 1.75 x + y= 6
So, x =
X+y=6 So x2 – y2 = (x + y)(x-y)
X + 7/4 = 6
X = 4.25 (2.5)(6) = 15

So 4.25 2 – 1.75 2 = 15

 Systems of Linear Inequalities

Linear inequalities are almost the same as a

linear equations, except the equals sign is
replaced with an inequality symbol.

Also, solving linear inequalities is almost the

same as solving linear equations, except for one
detail: you flip the inequality sign whenever you
multiply or divide the inequality by a negative.
 Questions: Inequalities

Algebraic Inequalities are very much like equalities,

except that there are a range of possible solutions.
 Solving Inequalities

Solve –2x < 5

When solving inequalities, if you multiply or

divide through by a negative, you must also flip
the inequality sign.

To solve "–2x < 5", I need to divide through by a

negative ("–2"), so I will need to flip the inequality:
Then the solution is: x > –5/2

 Factoring Quadratic Equations
Turn one trinomial into 2 binomials

1.Quadratic trinomial: x2 + ax + b when factored has the form

(x + ?)(x + ?)
2. Each of the question marks represents a number. Those missing values
have a sum of a and a product of b.
3. Example: x2 + 3x + 2 = (x + ?)(x +?)

1. Sum of what equals middle term 3: 2 +1

2. Does that product = last term 2: YES
2x1=2
3. (x+2)(x+1)
 5 Steps to solving Quadratic Equations
ax2 + bx + c Find two numbers that will not only multiply to equal the constant term "c",
but also add up to equal "b", the coefficient on the x-term.
Example: Factor x2 + 5x + 6
1) Brackets Write down the brackets = ( )( )
2) X’s: Put in the x’s - the first terms in each bracket (x )(x )
3) Signs Put in the signs. Check the last term (+6). If it is + means both
constants are the same sign as the last term. If the last term is –
means each constant is a different sign (x + )(x + )
4) Find 2 factors of last term (6) that add up to co-efficient of x term 5.
6 = 1 x 6 NO
6 = 2 x 3 YES Since 2 + 3 = 5,
5) Write in the two numbers found above: (x + 2)(x + 3)
This is the answer: x2 + 5x + 6 = (x + 2)(x + 3)

x 2 3 4
F(x) a 8 b

If the table above shows several ordered pairs corresponding to the linear function f,
What is the value of a + b

Slope of linear function = m, or change in y divided by change in x.

Since the x value increases by one each time, y values increase by m.
a = 8 – m, and b = 8 + m. So, a + b = 8 – m + 8 + m = 16

• Named expressions that give one output per

The "Vertical Line Test“
If you can draw a vertical line that crosses the
FUNCTIONS
graph in more than one place, then the relation is
not a function. Here are a couple examples

This graph shows a

function, because there is
no vertical line that will
cross this graph twice.

This graph does not show

a function, because any
number of vertical lines
will intersect this oval
twice. For instance, the y-
axis intersects (crosses)
the line twice.

You can graph it OR
The simplest method is to solve for "y =", make
a T-chart, pick some values for x, solve for the
corresponding values of y, plot your points,
and connect the dots

 Operations on Functions
f(x) = x-4, g(x) = 3x + 2, and h(x) = 2x2 – 13x + 20
1. Express (f + g) (x) in terms of x.
This is just notation that represents the sum of f(x) and g(x) – NOT the distributive
property.
= f(x) + g(x) = (x-4) + (3x+2) = 4x -2

2. Evaluate (f+4g-h) (-2)

This represents the sum of f(x) + 4g(x) +- h(x)
f(x) = x-4 g(x) = 3x +2 h(x) = 2x2 – 13x + 20
f(-2) = -2-4 g(-2) = 3(-2) +2 h(-2) = 2(-2) 2 – 13(-2) + 20
f(-2) = -6 g(-2) = 3(-2) +2= -4 h(-2) = 54

(f + 4g – h) (-2) = f (-2) + 4g (-2) – h(-2) = -6 +4(-4) – 54 = -76

 Operations on Functions
f(x) = x-4, g(x) = 3x + 2, and h(x) = 2x2 – 13x + 20
1. Evaluate (fg) (6) in terms of x.
f(x) = (x-4) f(6) = 6–4 = 2 g(x) =3x + 2 g(6)= (3x6)+2= 20
so fg(6)= 20(2)= 40

2. Evaluate (h/ f) (x) and evaluate for x = 6

h(x) = 2x2 – 13x + 20 = (2x – 5)(x-4) = 2x-5= 2(6) – 5 = 12 – 5 = 7
