Unit I: Linear Systems Important Stuff Equations of Lines Slope à Tells us about what the line actually looks like; represented by m; equation is m = (y2 – y1)/(x2 – x1) Slope-Intercept Form à Equation of line represented by slope and y-intercept; looks like y = mx + b; m is slope, b is y-intercept Standard Form à Another representation of the equation of a line; looks like ax + by + c = 0; useful for elimination Point-Slope Form à Represents a line using slope and any point on the line; looks like (y – y1) = m(x – x1); (x1,y1) is a point on the line Solving Equations of Lines Solving Linear Systems à Finding where two line intersect; they can intersect once, never (parallel distinct lines), or infinitely (the SAME LINE) Solving Graphically à Drawing the graphs and seeing where they intersect; put into y = mx + b, plot the y-intercept, and plot the slope Solving by Substitution à Solving algebraically; isolate a variable, substitute it into the other equation, and find the other value; sub back in and find the other point Solving by Elimination à Put the equations into standard form; multiply one or both equations to get the same coefficient for one of the variables, and then add or subtract equations from each other to isolate Other Notes

• If your slope is the same, check to see if it’s the same line! • If you get 2=0, the lines are distinct and parallel; 0=0 means THE

SAME!

Unit II: Polynomials and Exponents Important Stuff Polynomials Polynomial à Equation which contains a variable raised to various degrees with one or more terms Term à Part of a polynomial; i.e. 2x; one term is added or subtracted to the next Degree à The highest exponent of a polynomial; if there are brackets; expand the brackets and then find degree Dominant Term à The term which is associated with the degree determining variable (i.e. contains the variable raised to the highest degree) Simplify à Expand out brackets and collect like terms Factoring Factor à Simplifying equations by removing things in common and getting parts of the equation into lower degrees; makes them more manageable Common Factoring à The most common of the factorings; pull out anything in the equation that is a factor Grouping Factoring à Happens when you have four terms in which two sets have things in common; pull out what is in common and group with the terms remaining outside Decomposition Factoring à With trinomials; find two numbers that adds to the middle term and multiplies to the last term by the first; use these numbers to break apart the middle term, and then group Sum-Product Factoring à Trinomial where the first term is 1; in this case, add to the middle and multiply to the last; these two numbers are your terms in the brackets Difference of Squares à A binomial where both terms are a perfect square separated by a negative; take the square root of the first and last term, and separate them with a plus and a minus in different brackets

Range à Represents all possible y-values; if it’s not part of y, SAY SO! Quadratics Quadratic Function à A polynomial raised to the second degree; forms the shape of a parabola; has a direction of opening up or down and a vertex; depending on the direction of opening, vertex gives a max (if opening down) or min (if opening up), and has an axis of symmetry represented by the x-value (cut it in half and it’s symmetrical); also can have, one, two or no x-intercepts Standard Form of Quadratic à f(x) = ax2 + bx + c; tells you stretch/compression and direction of opening Vertex Form of Quadratic à f(x) = a(x-h)2 + k; tells you direction of opening, stretch, and (h,k) is your vertex; get to it by Completing the Square Factored Form of Quadratic à f(x) = a(x – s)(x – t); direction of opening, stretch, and s and t are the intercepts; get to it by factoring Max/Min problem à Word problem where you must create the equation of the quadratic and complete the square to determine the max/min value and/or where it occurs Other Notes

Unit IV: Solving Quadratic Equations Important Stuff Solving Quadratics Solving à Means finding the x-intercepts of a parabola; can be one, two or no solutions; we also call if finding the “zeroes” Solve by Factoring à Factor the quadratic, set each bracket equal to zero; these are the solutions Solve by Graphing à Graph the parabola; state where it hits the x-axis Solve by Quadratic Formula à Used for quadratics that are unfactorable;

the formula is 𝑥 = !!± !!!!!"

!!; plug your values in from standard form to get

your zeroes The Discriminant à The part of the Quadratic Formula under the square root sign (b2 – 4ac); if it’s positive, yields two solutions; 0 yields 1 solution; negative yields one solutions Other Notes
