Mr. Ray Bonnette

Simplify-

• Reducing an expression by performing operations to get to the lowest terms
1. Combine like terms

(adding and subtracting)

2. Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing
3. Raising to a power and taking square roots
4. Taking the absolute value

Solve-

• Get a particular variable by itself
• Your variable must be
1. Positive
2. In the numerator

Evaluate

• You must substitute numbers for your variables
• Follow order of operations (simplify)
• You will get a number (value) for your answer

Exponent- telling you how many times a base multiplies itself 24

Base- the number or variable being raised to a "power"

Pre-requisities (what you need to know before)

1. Basic Math
• Add/subtract/multiply/divide
• Integers
• Decimals + fractions
• Signed numbers
2. Solve---> get a particular variable by itself
• Your variable must be
1. Positive
2. The numerator

Inequalities

• Deals with greater than/ less than
• Greater than or =to/less than or = to
• >,> greater than (equal to)
• <,< less than (equal to)

• Conjunction- uses the word "and"
• -2x < x    and   x<1
• -2  < 1
• Disjunction- uses the word "or"
• x>3 or x<-3

• Types of numbers:
• Natural numbers- counting 1,2,3,4...
• No decimals or fractions
• Whole- all naturals with zero
• No decimals / fractions
• Integers- negative, positive, 0
• No decimals / fractions
• Rational- can be written as a fraction
• With 2 integers but zero can not appear in denominator of the fraction
• Irrational- decimals that are non-terminating or no-repeating
