Square & Cube Root Values & Order of Operations Notes
Square Roots! Use Square Roots to Solve Equations
The opposite of squaring a number is finding a X2 = 49/81 __________ _________. Take Square Root of Each side. A square root of a number is one of its two _______ _____________________________________ factors. ____________________________________ Since 4 x 4 = 16, a square root of 16 is ___. ____________________________________ Square Roots Practice: Solve A radical sign is used to indicate a square root. 1. Y2 = 144 ________________________________ 2. X2 = 64 ________________________________ 3. A2 = 0.09 ________________________________ 4. H2 = 169 ________________________________ Cube Roots Remember 43 is read “________ _________” 4 * 4 * 4 = _________ Cube Root – the cube root of a number is one of its = ____________ ______________ equal factors. 5 x 5 x 5 = ____________ So: ___________ = ____________ (Use Chart) - = ___________ Perfect Cubes (Refer to your Chart) Ex. 1: ______________________________________ Numbers such as 1, 4, 9, 16, and 25 are called Ex. 2: ______________________________________ __________ squares because they are squares of Practice: whole numbers. 1. ________________________________________ Refer to the Handout for These Numbers 2. ________________________________________ Example 1: ______________________________ 3. ________________________________________ Example 2: _______________________________ Solving Cube Root Equations Example 3: _______________________________ Ex 3: x3 = 27 ________________________________________ Take the Cube root of each side Example 4: _______________________________ o _______ = __________ ________________________________________ o X = __________ ________________________________________ Practice: Practice: Find each square root 1. Y3 = 125 _____________________ 1. ______________________________________ 2. T3 = 343 _____________________ 2. ______________________________________ 3. A3 = 512 _____________________ 3. ______________________________________ 4. ______________________________________ o 8+5 2 / 12 ? ___________ Order of Operations Be careful with your calculator. A standard way to simplify mathematical __________ o Use ( ) for ______________ . and ______________. A variable expression can be evaluated by Purpose - ____________________________ substituting values. Order of operations are rules that mathematicians Evaluate: b2 – 4a agree upon to avoid _________________ when 5 simplifying math expressions . o When a = 1 and b = 3 The Rules: _____________________________________________ 1. Simplify within _________________ _____________________________________________ o ( ), { }, [ ], | | _____________________________________________ 2. Simplify _________________ - Powers. _____________________________________________ 3. _________ and ________ from Left to Right. Evaluate: h + 5 when h = 63 4. ___________ and ________ from Left to Right. _____________________________________________ Back to Our Example Evaluate 2(a + b) When a = 4 and b = 3 What is the correct answer? _____________ _____________________________________________ Example 1: 7 + 3 * 5 * 4 _____________________________________________ Answer: _________________________ _____________________________________________ Example 2: 9/4 + 3 ( 6 - 3 ) Evaluate: b2 + ab when a = 4 and b = 3 Answer: ___________________________ 7 ____________________________ _____________________________________________ How can we remember this? _____________________________________________ _________________ - Please _____________________________________________ _________________ - Excuse _______________________________________ ___________________ - My _______________________________________ ___________________ - Dear _______________________________________ ___________________ - Aunt _______________________________________ ___________________ - Sally _______________________________________ Try These: _______________________________________ 4 + 5 • 3= _______________ _______________________________________ 3 • 2 + 6= ________________ _______________________________________ 1 + 2 • 4 + 3= ______________ _______________________________________ (7 + 4) • 5= ________________ _______________________________________ 2 4 • 2 + 3 = ________________ _______________________________________ How About These? _______________________________________ 8 - 3 + 1 = ______________________________ _______________________________________ 20 ÷ 2 • 5 = ____________________________ _______________________________________ 8+5*2 = _______________________________________ 12 _________________________________ _______________________________________ Is this the same as _______________________________________ _______________________________________
