C H 3-1 S OLVING TWO -S TEP E QUATIONS Background: By writing an algebraic equation, you can use it for any values of the variable. So it has endless uses! Vocab: Equation: Expression with an = sign “Solve for x:” x is by itself on one side of = sign Term: a number, a variable, or the product of a number and any variable(s). “Combine Like Terms:” x’s combine with x’s, y’s combine with y’s, x 2 combines with x 2, numbers combine with numbers ONLY Opposite Functions: called inverse operations, operations that undo each other. Opposite Functions: +-+- * ∙ / x 2 √x 2 2

C H 3-4 R ATIO AND P ROPORTION Background: Ratios and proportions have many uses in many industries. They can be used to read a map, mix chemicals in painting and landscaping, mix cleaners in home improvement projects, scaled drawings, and finding unit prices while grocery shopping. Vocabulary: Ratio: A comparison of two numbers. Written in 3 ways: 1. a to b 2. a:b 3. a b Unit Rate: Any number over 1 with units “something per something else” 21

C H 3-4 R ATIO AND P ROPORTION How to Use It: In Science, unit rates allow you to “cancel your units,” or use dimensional analysis to get the units you want. Ex (km) ∙ (1 mi) = (hr) 1.6 (km) mi/hr …..on a 10 speed bike!!!!! 22

C H 3-4 R ATIO AND P ROPORTION Ex.2 Page 143 Lance Armstrong! In 2004, Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France completing the 3391 km course in about 83.6 hours. Find Lance’s average speed using v=d/t. d=3391 km t = 83.6 hr v = ? v = d t v = (3391 km) (83.6 hr) v = 40.6 km/hr 23

C H 3-4 R ATIO AND P ROPORTION Vocabulary Continued: Proportion: is an equation that states that two ratios are equal, written as: a = c bd And you read it as, “a is to b as c is to d” What is the difference between a set of ratios and a proportion????? THE = SIGN IS IN THE PROPORTION ONLY!!!!!! 24

3-5 P ROPORTIONS AND S IMILAR S HAPES Background: Proportions can help determine the dimensions for certain objects, by comparing two similar shapes. This method is used by architects, designers, and computer aided drafting (CAD) software. Vocabulary: Corresponding side: a side of one object that can be compared to a side of another object in the same location/dimension. 29

Ex. 8 corresponds to ______ corresponds to _______ P ROPORTIONS AND S IMILAR S HAPES

How to Use It: Ex.1 Each pair of figures is similar. Find the length of x. 2.5= 5 x 3 2.5(3) = 5(x) 7.5 = 5x = x P ROPORTIONS AND S IMILAR S HAPES x 3

CH 3-7 P ERCENT OF C HANGE Background: Describing relationships using percents can be seen in shopping/pricing, engine efficiencies and grades. Vocabulary: Percent of change: the ratio of the amount of change over the original amount, or % change = amount of change * 100% original amount % error = estimated – actual * 100% actual 34

CH 3-7 P ERCENT OF C HANGE How To Use It: Ex.1 Find the percent of change. Describe it as an increase or decrease. 40 cm to 100 cm Amount of change = 100 cm – 40 cm = 60 cm % change = amount of change * 100% original amount % change = 60 cm * 100% 40cm % change = 1.5 * 100% %change = 150% INCREASE 35

CH 3-7 P ERCENT OF C HANGE How To Use It: Ex.2 A student estimated the mass of the Physics textbook to be 1750 grams. After measuring the mass on a triple beam balance, the actual textbook mass was 2450 grams. Find the student’s percent error. % error = estimated – actual * 100% actual % error = 1750 – 2450* 100% 2450 %error = 28.6% Do you want a high % error or a low % error? LOW! < 10% in industry is EXCELLENT! 36

CH 3-8 F INDING AND E STIMATING S QUARE R OOTS Background: Square roots and perfect squares are used in many problems including construction and science lab work. Vocabulary: Square root: a special case for a number, that when multiplied by itself, or squared, it gives that number. Ex. 4 2 = 16, so 4 and -4 are square roots of 16 Symbol = √ with a number under this symbol YOU CAN’T HAVE A – SIGN UNDER √ Perfect Square: squares of integers 38 Integer Square

How To Use It: Ex.1 Use a calculator to find the value of each square root. a. +/- √ or -6.2 b. √ c. √ CH 3-8 F INDING AND E STIMATING S QUARE R OOTS
