Intermediate Algebra A review of concepts and computational skills Chapters 4-5
Systems of Equations • Solve by graphing • Solve by substitution • Solve by elimination • Independent, dependent, inconsistent • 3-variable systems
Exponents and Rules • am x an = am+n • am / an = am-n • a0 = 1 • (am)n = amn • (ab)n = an bn • (a/b)n = an/bn • a-n = 1/an
Scientific Notation • Scientific Notation: Used for very large or very small numbers • a x 10n where 1 < a < 10 and n is an integer
Polynomials • Polynomial—term, degree, constant, coefficient, like terms • Monomial, binomial, trinomial • Adding and subtracting polynomials– look for like terms
Multiply and Divide Polynomials • Multiplying Polynomials by monomials • Multiplying Binomials– FOIL method • Special Products • Dividing polynomials by monomials • Dividing polynomials by binomials (long division) • Synthetic division
Factoring • GCF- greatest common factor • Factoring special products • Factor by grouping • Factoring 2nd degree trinomials • Sum or difference of 2 cubes • Quadratic techniques • Solving equations by factoring
