Represents an UNKNOWN Variable (x) Represents Variable^2 or unknown variable(x^2)

Chapter 3.2: Working with Exponents. On the diagram on the bottom, the red 2 is the base number, and the blue 5 is a power. 25 is Exponential form, whereas 2x2x2x2x2 is the expanded form of 25 25 = 2x2x2x2x2 Chapter 3.3: There are several laws in Exponents, which helps to make life easier when simplifying exponents. The Product Rule: So we have an exponent with the same base being multiplied by each other, that being said the following rule would apply: 42 x 48 = 410 Basically, when powers are being multiplied together, and have the same base, the exponents can be added together. The Quotient Rule: So we have an exponent with the same base being multiplied by each other, that being said the following rule would apply: 46 43 = 43 Basically, when the powers are being multiplied by each other, and have the same base the exponents can be subtracted from one another. The Power of a Power Rule: So we have one base exponent, in a bracket or in similar form, we can apply a rule that will make life much easier when solving a problem. [(43)7]= 421 Basically when the powers of a power occur, you can multiply the exponents together, while keeping the same base, this allows for the problem to be solved easier.

 Chapter 3.4: Co-Efficients and Variables: Expression 7x -4.9t2 Co-Efficient 7 -4.9 variable Variable x T2 The Co-Efficient is a number only. The Variable consists of more variables and their exponents if they exist. Such as: xy2 would be a v

Polynomials by Names: Type of Polynomials Monomial Binomial Trinomial

Number of Terms 1 2 3 4x2 3xy + y2

Examples -2m 3x2+ 2x 4x2 3xy + y2

Each of these is one Term Degree of Each Term: X2 = The Degree would be 2 -2a2b1 = The Degree would be 3 So basically you just find the sum of the exponents and you have your degree Degree of Each Polynomial: (The Degree of the Highest Term) 7x2y4 + x6y = 7 Basically this is because you are looking for the term with the HIGHEST degree. That being said x6y would have the highest degree because, no matter what the y has an exponent of one. So 1+ 6 is equal to 7. Chapter 3.5: Like and Unlike Terms: 2x, 5x, and 7x are all like terms, whereas 5xy and 5x are not like terms. Rule: - Like terms have identical variable parts - Unlike terms may be similar, however they are NOT like Adding and Subtracting Like Terms: 4x + 3x = 7x 4x 3x = x 4x + 3 + 2x + 5 = 6x + 8 4x - 3 -2x +5 = 2x + 2 Like so, the variables that are a like, are added together, and the others are either left over, but if they are also a like with something else, they can be added together as well. Thus simplifying the equation. Rachel Yu Math Exam Review CourseCentral

 Chapter 3.6: Adding and Subtracting Polynomials So basically break down the equation, remove brackets wherever possible, and group like terms together. If a negative sign occurs be sure to apply integer rule. This is pretty basic Chapter 3.7 The Distributive Property Basically in this, you will be responsible for simplifying algebraic expressions that involve multiplication and division. Suppose you have this equation below, you would multiply 5 by the terms that are in the brackets, because you will need to multiply the 3+8x as a whole, so you multiply them first, to simplify the equation. 5(3 + 8x) = 15 + 40x

CHAPTER FOUR:
Chapter 4.1: Solving Simple Equations How to solve a equation, basically in the model shown below, we must solve for x, to get x we must isolate x to be on its own, so we subtract 4 on each side to make X on its own. We MUST do this on both sides so that it wil be equal. X + 4 = 13 X + 4 4 = 13 4 X = 9 Chapter 4.2: Multi-Step Equations Here we have a model where we have the variable on both sides, this will require us to use multiple steps, basically we do the same thing as shown above. So basically, we must isolate x on to one side. First we must remove the number on the left side, so we subtract by 2 on both sides, then we must remove the variable on the right side so that there will only be one variable, so we subtract by 2x. Finally we must isolate x, so we divide both sides by 3, so that we only have 1 X. 3x + 2 = 2x 4 3x + 2 2 = 2x 4 2 3x 2x = 2x 2x 6 3x = -6 3x/3 = -6/3 Rachel Yu Math Exam Review CourseCentral

X = -2 Chapter 4.3: Solving Equations Involving Fractions Typically when solving an equation that involves a fraction, first we would like to get rid of the fraction to simplify the equation. As shown in the model below, we see that there is a fraction, to rid of it, we multiply both sides by 3, and then solve for the equation 1/3(8+x) = 6 3 x 1/3(8+x) = 6 x 3 8 + X = 18 8 8 + X = 18 8 X = 10 Chapter 4.4: Modelling with Formulas Such as the formula for the area of a circle is 2r2. Chapter 4.5 Modelling With Algebra Baby Squirrels collect 4 acorns and hour, however Adult Squirrels collect 2 times the amount in an hour of Baby Squirrels. If there are 2 baby squirrels and 3 adult squirrels how many acorns would be collected in an hour? So we know that the adult squirrel collects 2 times as much as a baby squirrel. So let A represent the adult squirrel and B represent a baby squirrel. A = 2B B = 4 So using the information, we can plug in the variables to solve: 2(B)+ 3 (2B) = Acorns collected 2 (4) + 3 ( 2(4))= Acorns Collected 8 + 3(8) = Acorns Collected 8 + 24 = Acorns collected 32 = Acorns Collected Rachel Yu Math Exam Review CourseCentral

CHAPTER 5:
Chapter 5.1: Direct Variation A Direct Variation is a variation that is direct without a constant of variation: Such as in this case, Sally works for 8 hours at MacDonalds, she is paid $10 per hour. The amount of hours she works is in DIRECT relation with the amount of money she will make. So H being the hours she worked and 10 being the amount she is paid per hour. Chapter 5.2: Partial Variation A Partial Variation is noted when a constant of variation is available. For example, when riding a taxi there is a fixed fee of $10.00 right when you get on, and $3.00 per KM travelled. So the constant of variation is the $10.00, and the $3.00 per KM travelled is the other portion, making this a partial variation
