Objectives: Simplifying quotients (fractions) using laws of exponents Vocabulary: Rational expression = An expression with a numerator and a denominator, or, the ratio of two polynomials. Tools and Rules: Exponents Examples: (In-class) Homework: Pg. 213 (Written) #1-20 all
4
Objectives: Use Sci. Notation to deal with very large or very small numbers. Vocabulary: Notation- A way of writing something that usually involves symbols, characters, or abbreviations. Tools and Rules: Scientific Notation- A number in the form m x where 1 < m < 10, and n is an integer. Examples: In-Class, Homework: Pg. 223 (ORAL): #1-8 All; (WRITTEN) #1-20 evens
5
Objectives: Understand how to identify which digits are significant in a solution. Vocabulary: Significant Digit (aka Significant Figure): Any non-zero digit or any zero that has a purpose other than placing the decimal point. (See pg. 221) Tools and Rules: Rules for Sig Digs (Sig Figs): See Hand-Out Examples: In-Class
6
Objectives: Learn how to simplify rational expressions. Vocabulary: Rational Expression- See 5.1-5.2 notes. Numerator: Top part of a fraction/rational expression. Denominator: Bottom part of a fraction/rational expression. Tools and Rules: To simplify a rational expression, factor the numerator and the denominator, then cross out common factors. Examples: In-Class Homework: Pg. 228 #1-14 all (Written)
7
Objectives: To multiply and divide rational expressions. Vocabulary: None. Tools and Rules: When you divide, flip (one after the division sign) and multiply. Examples: In class. Homework: Do Pg. 229 #22-26 evens Do pg. 234 #2-14 evens
8
Objectives: Add and Subtract rational expressions. Vocabulary: none Tools and Rules: Examples: In-Class. Homework:Pg. 237 #1- 14 all
9
Objectives: Simplifying complex fractions. Vocabulary: Complex fraction- if numerator, denominator, or both has one or more fractions, or powers with negative exponents. Ex: Tools and Rules: Method 1)Simplify numerator and denominator separately; then divide. Method 2) Multiply numerator and denominator by LCM of all the fractions appearing in the numerator and denominator. For powers with negative exponents, first rewrite powers using positive exponents. Then simplify. Examples: In-Class. Homework: Pg. 239 #1-10 all
10
Objectives: Solve equations and inequalities with fractional coefficients. Vocabulary : Coefficient: The number that is being multiplied by a variable. Ex: 3x….3 is the coefficient 2x/3…..2/3 is the coefficient -x……-1 is the coefficient x/5……1/5 is the coefficient Tools and Rules: To get rid of all denominators in an equation or inequality, multiply both sides of an equation by the LCM. Examples: In-Class. Homework: p. 245 #1-12 all
11
Two types: Work Problems Two people (or things) with different rates that work together. Formula: Example: % Mixture Problems Two things with different amounts and different concentrations that are mixed together to form a new amount with a new concentration. Formula: (%A)(Amount of A) + (%B)(Amount of B) = (%Mix)(Amt. A + Amt. B) Example: Arnold Palmer mixes 5 quarts of iced tea that is 30% lemonade with 7 quarts of iced tea that is 50% lemonade. What percent of lemonade will he have when he mixes it together? Homework: p. 245 #1-8all
12
Objectives: Solving and using fractional equations. Vocabulary: Fractional equation: an equation where a variable occurs in the denominator. Extraneous root: an “extra” root that occurs when transforming a fractional equation that is NOT part of the original equation. Tools and Rules: If you transform an equation by multiplying by a polynomial, always check each root of the new equation in the original one. Examples: Homework: Pg. 249 #2- 16 evens
