ALGEBRIC EXPRESSIONS:

Algebraic Expression is an expression which is obtained by performing a finite number of the following operations on symbols representing numbers: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, rising to a power. The arithmetic value of any algebraic expression depends on the values assigned to the literal numbers. For example, in the expression 2x2 - 3ay, If x = -3, a = 5 and y = 1, then we has the following: 2x2 - 3ay = 2(-3)2 -3(5)(1) = 2(9) - 15 = 18 - 15 = 3

VERBAL EXPRESSIONS:
A verbal expression is a math questions. For example: 8+6.

ORDER OF OPERATION:
Order of operations tells us what order must be used when evaluating numerical expressions with two or more operations. The order is parenthesis then exponents then multiplication or division, then addition or subtraction. The mnemonic PEMDAS is an acronym commonly used to remember this. Some people use the phrase: Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally to remember it. For example: -22 the order tells us to the exponent first so this is -4 but (-2)2 =4 because we take what is inside the parenthesis first. 1. 20-2(2+10) = 2. 20-2(12)= 3. 20-24= -4

DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY
In mathematics, and in particular in abstract algebra, distributives are a property of binary operations that generalizes the distribute.

For example: 5(3 + 1) = 5 3 + 5 1

Consider LHS: 5(3 + 1) = 5(4) = 20 Consider RHS: 5 3 + 5 1 = 15 + 5 = 20 LHS = RHS

COMMUTATIVE PROPERTY:
In mathematics an operation is commutative if changing the order of the operation does not change the end result. It is a fundamental...

For example:
In mathematics an operation is commutative if changing the order of the operation does not change the end result. It is a fundamental. In mathematics, associative is a property of some binary operations. It means that, within an expression containing two or more.

ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY: For example: a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c; a numeral example might be

7 + (3 + 14) = (7 + 3) + 14.

SQUARE ROOTS:

A number that produces a specified quantity when multiplied by itself: "7 is a square root of 49".

For example: 72
2 2 2 3 3 = 2 22 32 2 2 3 = 6 2

REAL NUMBERS:
(real number) any rational or irrational number.

For example: Natural numbers, whole numbers, integers,

decimal numbers, rational numbers, and irrational numbers are the examples of real numbers. Natural Numbers = {1, 2, 3,...} Whole Numbers = {0, 1, 2, 3,...} Integers = {..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2,...}

are few more

MULTIPLE STEP EQUATIONS:

Work backward to isolate the variable and solve the equation. Multi-Step Use subtraction to undo addition, and use addition to undo subtraction. Equations Use multiplication to undo division, and use division to undo multiplication

For example:
Multiply each side by 4 to eliminate the fraction. 4_ __ 9(4) = 2x _ 3 _ 36 2x _ 3 _ 3 _ 36 _ 3 = 2x _ 39 = 2X^2=39^2 x = 39 1^2

Mean Median, Mode, and Range:

Mean, median, and mode are three kinds of "averages". There are many "averages" in statistics, but these are, I think, the three most common, and are certainly the three you are most likely to encounter in your pre-statistics courses, if the topic comes up at all. The "mean" is the "average" you're used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers. The "median" is the "middle" value in the list of numbers. To find the median, your numbers have to be listed in numerical order, so you may have to rewrite your list first. The "mode" is the value that occurs most often. If no number is repeated, then there is no mode for the list. The "range" is just the difference between the largest and smallest values.

EXAMPLE: 13, 18, 13, 14, 13, 16, 14, 21, 13

The mean is the usual average, so: (13 + 18 + 13 + 14 + 13 + 16 + 14 + 21 + 13) 9 = 15 Note that the mean isn't a value from the original list. This is a common result. You should not assume that your mean will be one of your original numbers. The median is the middle value, so I'll have to rewrite the list in order: 13, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, 16, 18, 21 There are nine numbers in the list, so the middle one will be the (9 + 1) 2 = 10 2 = 5th number: 13, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, 16, 18, 21 So the median is 14. Copyright Elizabeth Stapel 2004-2011 All Rights Reserved The mode is the number that is repeated more often than any other, so 13 is the mode. The largest value in the list is 21, and the smallest is 13, so the range is 21 13 = 8. mean: 15, median: 14, mode: 13, range: 8

Ratios and Proportions:

A ratio is a comparison of two similar quantities obtained by dividing one quantity by the other. Ratios are written with the : symbol.

Example:
The ratio of 6 to 3 is

63

6/3

6:3

PERCENTS:
A rate, number, or amount in each hundred.An amount, such as an allowance or commission, that is a proportion of a larger sum of money.

FOR EXAMPLE:
1.5 = 150%

PROBABILITY:

The extent to which something is probable. A probable event: "revolution was a strong probability".

FOR EXAMPLE:
Parts exiting an assembly line are inspected and categorized as being good or bad (defective). In a batch of 10 parts, an inspector is interested in the following events: A = The number of bad parts is 0. B = The number of bad parts is 1: C = The number of good parts is 5: The random experiment consists of observing a batch of ten parts. Since each of the preceding events can be described by the number of bad parts in the batch, we can represent an elementary outcome as the number of bad parts in the batch. Accordingly, we represent the sample space as = f0; 1; : : : ; 10g. Then the events above are represented respectively as A = f0g; B = f0; 1g; C = f0; 1; : : : ; 4g:

THE CORDINATE PLANE:

A Cartesian coordinate system specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distance.

FOR EXAMPLE:

REALTIONS:
a relation between mathematical expressions (such as equality or inequality). FOR EXAMPLE: 5+2=7 and 2+5=7 7-5=2 and 7-2=5
