Overview The slope-intercept equation (y = mx + b) is a linear equation that gives both the slope of a line and where the line crosses the y-axis. It has…
read moreOverview When the coefficient of the squared term is greater than 1, an extra step is added to factoring the trinomial. It can be factored by either using FOIL or a…
read moreOverview Trinomials are a special type of polynomials that have three terms, usually a squared term, a coefficient times the term that is to the first power, and a constant.…
read moreOverview Factoring by grouping is the best method to use when some terms in a polynomial share one common factor and some other terms in the same polynomial share another…
read moreOverview Factoring a monomial from a polynomial is a process of finding the greatest common factor for the constants, the greatest common factor for the variable terms, and then using…
read moreOverview Solving application problems is a process that includes understanding the problem, translating it into an equation, solving the equation, checking the answer, and answering the question. This process can…
read moreOverview The first step in solving real-world problems mathematically is to change the problem into an equation. Sometimes, it is a matter of deciding what operations need to be used.…
read moreOverview Cube and fourth roots follow rules similar to those for square roots. The rules for rational exponents are an extension of the rules for exponents and roots. Cube Roots…
read moreOverview Linear inequalities in one variable can be solved similarly to linear equations in one variable. Properties that hold for linear inequalities include properties of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division,…
read moreOverview Linear equations can be solved by isolating the variable on one side of the equals sign. This can be done by using the addition and multiplication properties, whether the…
