8 Important Terms

LT1 – Perform calculations using Order of Operations

Number sets you should know:
Natural Numbers: {1, 2, 3, ...}
Whole Numbers: {0, 1, 2, 3, ...}
Integers: {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}
p
Rational Numbers: q , where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0
Irrational Numbers: numbers whose decimal part does not ___________or _________
Real Numbers: all rational and irrational numbers

Properties you should know:

Addition Multiplication

Closure a + b is a real number ab is a real number

Commutative a+b=b+a ab = ba

Associative (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) (ab)c = a(bc)

There is a number 0 There is a number 1

Identity such that a + 0 = a and such that 1•a = a and
0 + a = a. a•1 = a.

For every nonzero

For every real number real number a, there
1
a, there is a real
Inverse
number -a such that a is a real number a
+ (-a) = 0. 1
a 
such that  a  = 1.

The Distributive Property: For all real numbers a, b, and c:

a(b + c) = ab + ac and (b + c)a = ba + ca

LT2 – Write and solve a linear equation in one variable.

equation – a statement that two ___________ are______

variable – a __________ that represents many different numbers in a set of numbers

LT2 – Write and solve a linear equation in one variable. (continued)

solution of the equation – any value of a ___________ that makes the equation ______

terms – parts in an expression that are ______ or ___________

like terms – terms that contain the same form of the ____________

simplified expression – when all ______________ have been combined and all the

____________ have been removed

Properties of Equality
For real numbers a, b, and c:
Reflexive Property
Symmetric Property
Transitive Property
Addition Property
Subtraction Property
Multiplication Property
Division Property
Substitution Property
a=a
If a = b, then b = a.
If a = b and b = c, then a = c.
If a = b, then a + c = b + c.
If a = b, then a – c = b – c.
If a = b, then ac = bc.
a b

If a = b, then c c , where c ≠ 0.
If a = b, you may replace a with b in any true statement containing
a and the resulting statement will still be true.

solution of the inequality - any value of a _________ that makes an inequality ________
LT4 – Write, solve, and graph linear inequalities in one variable (continued)
Properties of Inequality
For all real numbers, a, b, and c, where a < b.
Addition Property a+c<b+c
Subtraction Property a-c<b-c
Multiplication Property If c > 0, then ac < bc
If c < 0, then ac > bc
a b

Division Property If c > 0, then c c
a b

If c < 0, then c c

LT5 – Solve and graph compound inequalities in one variable

compound inequality - a pair of inequalities joined by ______or ______.

LT6 – Solve one variable absolute value equations
