slope

steepness, comparing staircases
5feet, 10feet
slope = 5/5 = 1, 10 /5 = 2, 50/15 = 10/3

slope is vertical change/horizontal change = rize / run
positive slope is uphill, negative slope is downhill

y = mx + b
m is always the slope
b is the y-value of the y-intercept

y = 3x – 7
slope:3
y-intercept:(0, -7)

Linear equation

properties of linear equations
x + 3 = 4

5(x+10)-30 = 5x – 18
equation is false means “Contradiction”, no solution.

pythagorean theorem
4^2 = 16
x^2 = 25, x = 5
√64 = 8
√1 = 1

right triangle 90°
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
hypotenuse 6, 8, 10

Algebraic expressions

A variable is: A symbol or letter that can be used to represent an unknown value

coffee …$2.00
tea …$3.50
Juice …$1.25

4 coffees and two teas calculate
4c + 2t = $15.00

3x + 2 cannot be determined

evaluate: find a value for an expression by substituting a value in for your variable
when x = -2, 3x + 2 = -4

care order of operation
7 + 3(x-2) when x=4

unit conversion

the world’s most amazing number!

1) multiplication
2) division

3/3 = π/π = -4/-4 = 1

12 eggs = 1 carton
12 eggs / 1 carton = 1

conversion factor: a number that relates amount of one thing to amount of another.

cartons -> eggs 12eggs = 1carton
yards -> feet 3feet = 1yard
liters -> ounces
dollar -> Euros

1 mile = 5280 feet
1 gallon = 4 quarts
1 gram = 1000 milligrams
1 pound = 16 ounces

1 mile = 1.609 Km
if you run 5 km, 3.1 miles you run

1 mile = 1760 yards
1 yard = 3 feet
1 m = 1.093 yards
1 km = 1000m
1 m = 100cm
1m = 1000mm
1gal = 16cups
1 gal = 3.785liters

Ratios

Rates: compare two quantities with different units
Ratios: compare two quantities with the same units

ex. “three out of five dentists recommend toothtaste.”

1/2 exact same meaning 1:2

3/5 -> 3:5
8/10 -> 4:5
200/500 -> 2:5
2/9 -> 2:9

Rates

learning the ratio and rates is super important

35 MPH(unit)
-> 35 miles per hour

35 miles / 1 hour

example
$12 / 1hour, 4,000,000babies/1year, 260calories/20 ounces of coke

150 miles / 3 hours = 50 miles / 1 hour -> unit rate
50 miles per hour

A unit rate is any rate where the value of the denominator is 1

pretzelicious: $3.50, 15ounces -> $0.23/ounce
pretztastic: $3.6, 18ounce -> 0.20/ounce

Scientific Notation

US National Deficit: 17 trillion dollars
$17,000,000,000
1.7 * 10^10

10^4 = 10,000

15,000:standard notation
1.5 * 10^4:scientific notation

negative powers
1.5 * 10^-4 = 0.00015
3.2* 10^-5 = 0.000032

2,700,000,000 -> 2.7 * 10^9
