Solving Equations

ax=b
3x = 0.6 <-- you need to divide both sides by 3
3x/3 = 0.6/3
x=0.2

LS RS check ;
3x=0.6
3(0.2)
0.6

x/a = b <-- you can multiply (a)(b)
x/5 = 0.3
5(x/5) = 5(0.3)
x = 1.5

LS RS check ;
x/5 = 0.3
x = 1.5/0.3

a/x = b
3.3/x = 1.1
x(3/3) = 1.1x
3.3/1.1 = 1.1x/1.1
3=x <--You can do it like this or ...
x=3 <-- this is the more proper way

LS RS ;
3.3/x = 1.1
3.3/3
1.1

2x = 3/4
Divide 2 by itself = 3/4 . 2/1
x = 3/4 x 1/2 . 2/1 x 1/2 makes 0.
3/4 x 1/2 = 3/8

LS RS check ;
2x = 3/4
2/1(3/8) =
6/8
3/4.

another way to the previous question is ...
2x/1 = 3/4
(2x)(4) = 3
8x/8 = 3/8
x = 3/8

-2 1/2x = -3 1/2 <-- make into a proper fraction
-5/2x = -7/2
x = -7/-5

another way of doing it ;
-5/2x = -7/2
-5/2 x -2/5
x = 7/5

and another way ...
-5/2x = -7/2
-5x(2) = 2(-7)
-10x/-10 = -14/-10
x = 14/10 or 7/5

More Practice on Chapter 7

Today in math class we did different kinds of questions that will be on the test.




First we were given a question to find the area of rectangle with a missing piece using polynomials.





There are two ways to figuring out the area of this shape. First way is to break up the shape into 3 pieces, and add Areas 1 and 2, and subtract area 3.







The second way is to pretend the missing piece is there (area 1) so it makes a whole rectangle, then subtract area 2 (missing piece) to area 1. I chose to do this method because it seemed like a faster way for me.



Show your work:
l = 8x - 4 + 4x + 9 = 12x +5
w = 6x + 2 + 3x - 5 = 9x - 3

A1 = lw
= (12x + 5)(9x -3)
= (12x)(9x) + (12x)(-3) + (5)(9x) + (5)(-3)
= 108x^ - 36x + 45x - 15

A2 = lw
= (8x - 4)(3x -5)
= (8x)(3x) + (8x)(-5) + (-4)(3x) + (-4)(-5)
= 24x^ - 40x -12x + 20
= 24x^ - 52x + 20

A1 - A2
= 108x^ + 9x -15 - (24x^ - 52x + 20)
= 108x^ +9x - 15 -24x^ +52x - 20
= 84x^ + 61x -35

Therefore, the area of the shape is 84x^ + 61x - 35.


The second question was a triangle. This was much simpler because it didn't contain a missing piece.

A = bh/2
= (8x +4)(5x)/2
= (8x)(5x) + (4)(5x)
= 40x^ + 20x/2
= 40x^/2 + 20x/2
= 20x^ + 10x

The area of the triangle is 20x^ + 10x.

The third question was to find the width of the rectangular prism.

V = lwh
48x³ = (2x)(w)(3x)
48x³ = 6x^
w = 48x³/6x^
w = 8x


The width of the rectangular prism is 8x.




The fourth question is similar to the first one, except with different values. Again, I used the A1-A2 method.





Step 1







Step 2






Step 3






The area of the shape is 26x^ - 35x - 12.


The fifth question is finding the ratio of the rectangle to the circle. This won't be on the test but it's better to know it now for future references.

r = d/2
r = 6x/2
r = 3x

rectangle / circle
= lw / pi r^
= 6x(12x) / pi(3x)^
= 72x^/pi 9x^
= 8 / pi



The last question was to find the ratio of the small circle to the large circle.

So/Lo = pi r^/pi r^
= pi(2x)^/pi(4x)^
= 4x^/16x^
= 4/16
= 1/4






Solve:
1. 3(5x + 3) - (10x - 6)
= 15x +9 - 10x + 6
= 5x + 15

2. (1/2t)^ 3t
= (1/2t)(1/2t)(3t)
= 1/4t^(3t)
= 3/4t³


Remember:
Always use the FOIL(First, Outside, Inside, Last) method when multiplying
Only add/subtract like terms
When subtracting polynomials, (-) before the 2nd polynomial means to multiply (-1) to each term. (Change each sign to its opposite)

Ryan's math blog post

Today we learned about triangles.

Scalene: all sides, all angles are different

Isosceles: 2 sides, 2 angles the same

Equilateral: all sides, all angles the same

An example of finding the area of a triangle:

We also learned more about solving algebraic expressions.

For example: 2(5+x)= 2(5) + 2(x)

= 10 + 2x

A common mistake is adding or subtracting 10 by 2x because they are unlike terms.

A new diagram for finding the answer of 2(5+x) is:

Inside the box, the top part is the expression and the bottom part is the answer.

Another example is: 2x(3x^2 + 4x -y)

=6x^3 + 8x^2 - 2xy

Multiplying and Dividing Monomials.

In class we learned how to multiply and divide monomials. We started off by doing some easy integer questions.

Multiplying monomials:

To start off we did a four questions they were:

(3)(2)= 6

(-4)(4)= -16

(-7)(-3)=21

(5)(-6)= -30

then we got to harder questions

3(2x)= 6x "this means 3 groups of 2x"

we had to model it after wards

-4(3x)=-12x

(-3y)(-2x)= 6xy

"I think that the answer turned out to be xy because if you multiply two numbers with different variables you're answer has to have a degree of two."

(3x)(-3x) = -9x^2 (squared)

"This is one became squared because if you multiply two variables and they are both the same you get 2nd degree or squared"

Dividing Monomials:

Similar to Multiplication we had to do some questions.

6/3= 3

-8/4=(-2)

16/-8= -2

-15/-3= 5.

6x/3= 2x

How to model division monomials.

very similar to the multiplication model.

-4xy/-2x= 2y

"how?''

'' since there are two x's both of them get canceled out, leaving you with just the variable y''

-6y^2/2y= -3y

"since there were two y's on the first one, one gets canceled out and only one is left"

Not everything can get modeled for example:

-6^3/ -2x= 3x^2

"The reason for that is because we don't have anything to represent a cube."

Rise and Run

January 27, 2012's class

Chapter 6

In class we learned more about finding the equation of a graph using rise and run. We had many examples.

Now we know what m is, we can put that in our equation to find y.

y=mx+b

Remember the m is the slope or gradient and the b is the y intercept.

The m will be 4/7 and the b will be 1.

y=4/7x+1

We put the results in a table:

Here's how we got the y using the equation:

y=mx+b

=4/7x+1

= 4/7(1)+1 (you multiply 4/7 by 1)

=4/7+1 (you add 1 to 4/7)

=1 4/7

y=mx+b

=4/7x+1

=4/7(2)+1

=8/7=1 (simplify 8/7 to 1 1/7)

=1 1/7+1

=2 1/7

We also did a problem where b=0.

Since b=0, then in the equation there doesn't need to be +b. We used 1 and 14 for x.

y=mx

=2/3x

=2/3(1)

=2/3

y=mx

=2/3x

=2/3(14)

=28/3 (simplify 28/3 to 9 1/3)

=9 1/3

You call them by where they go through the line
