Defined Operations(Example not in the book)

The word problem will use a symbol / character to define an operation / process.

If A B = A - B, then what is 3 8 ?

3 8 3 8 5 What to do:

Use the given formula in the problem to solve.

Rational Exponents / Radicals (This example not in the book)

The sum of three consecutive even integers is 66. What is the largest number?

___ ___ ___ 66 2 4 66x x x

3 6 66x 3 60x

20x The largest

is 24.

Ex. 21 p. 83 Motion Problem

Ross and Rachel agree to meet for a date. Ross drives at 40 kph and Rachel at 35 kph. After how many hours will they meet if they are 150 km apart and they start driving directly toward each other at the same time?

1.) Make a diagram/illustration of the scene.

2.) Make a table of the given.

Let t = number of hours until they meet= time Ross traveled = time Rachel

DiagramRoss, 40kph

Rachel, 35 kph

150 km

We use the formula, distance = rate x time

0%

100 + X

75%

p. 88 Ex. 32 MONEY

A scholarship trust fund has P65,000 in capital. Some of the money is invested in a bank at an annual interest rate of

and the rest at 6%. If the

income from the amount invested at

exceeds the investment at 6% by P300 after one year, how much is invested at each rate?

14 %

MoneyP65,000

14 %

26%

Interest at 4.5% = 4.5%xInterest at 6% = 6% (65,000 – x)

Let x = money invested at 4.5%

Equation?

Geometry Example 1 (Not in the book)

The edge of a cube is doubled. What happens to its volume?

3cubeV e 32newV e

38newV e

Volume increases 8 times bigger.

GEOMETRY Example (Not in the book)An architect is to design a swimming pool in a hotel, to be fenced off on 3 sides with 60 meters of material. The pool is to have an area of 352 sq.m.

What should the dimensions of the pool be?

L W

60 2W L

352 LW

60 2W L 352 LW

System of Equations: Perimeter

Area

Let’s use SUBSTITUTION METHOD:-Represent L in terms of W.-Substitute into 2nd equation.

60 2W L 352 60 2W W

352 60 2W W 2352 60 2W W

Can we isolate the variable W above?

The equation above is NOT linear. It is A QUADRATIC equation. (Degree of x is 2)

How can we solve for W?

Page 603 Methods to solve Quadratic Equations:

• 1.) FACTORING

• 2.) COMPLETING THE SQUARE

• 3.) QUADRATIC FORMULA
