Adding, Subtracting Integers Solving Equations

SAME SIGN ADD (+ means add) Step 1: distribute if necessary, combine like terms
5+3=8 -5 − 3 = -8 -5 + (-3) = -8 5 - (- 3) = 8
Find percentage of a number by multiplying by the decimal version of the percent. Ex: 85% of 900 = 0.85 • 900 = 765

Step 2: add or subtract terms to get x term alone

same sign + same sign + same sign + 5 + (+3) same sign +

Slope = rise over run

Step 3: multiply or divide to get x = answer
If a term that needs to be moved is positive, subtract it from both sides
7+2=9 -7 − 2 = -9 -7 + (-2) = -9 7 - (- 2) = 9 If a term that needs to be moved is negative, add it to both sides

Factoring GCF Factoring Difference of Squares Factoring Trinomials

Greatest common factor: Is there a number or Works when there are two squared terms Find factors of the “c” term to split to two
term that can be factored out of all terms? being subtracted ie x2 - y2 = (x + y)(x - y) factors that sum to “b” term.
Point Slope Form y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Example: x2 - x - 6.
ab + bc = b(a + c) GCF = b a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a - b)
Factors of 6 that sum to -1= 3, 2
4x + 10xy = 2x(2 + 5y) GCF = 2x 4x2 - 25y2 = (2x + 5y)(2x - 5y) Therefore factored pair = (x + 2)(x - 3)

12abc - 3ab + 6ac = 3a(4bc - b + 2c) GCF = 3a 100j4 - 16k2 = (10j2 + 4k)(10j2 - 4k) x2 - 2x - 8 = (x + 2)(a - 4)

8x2 + 4x - 2x3 = 4x(2x + 1 - 2x2) GCF = 4x

Ezx4xt2
81x2 - y2 = (9x + y)(9x - y)
Factors of 8 that sum to -2 = 2, -4
y2 + 12y + 20 = (y + 10)(y + 2)
Factors of 20 that sum to 12 = 10, 2
a2 - 6a + 9 = (a2 - 3)(a2 - 3) or (a - 3)2
@CuteCalculus Factors of 9 that sum to -6 = -3, -3

Factor by Grouping Factoring Cubes - SOAP Factoring when a ≠ 1

x3 + 2x2 - 3x - 6 Same sign, Opposite sign, Always Positive Multiply the “a” term by the “c” term = a•c
GCF = x GCF = —3 Factors of a•c that sum to “b” term?
a3 - b3 = (a - b)(a2 + ab + b2)
2x2 + 9x - 18
3lxt2 a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 - ab + b2)
a • c = 2 • -18 = -36
x4xt2 3lxt2 8x3 - 125y3 = (2x - 5y)(4x2 + 10xy + 5y2) Factors of -36 that sum to 9 = 12, -3
(cube root of each) “a” term = 2x, “b” term = 5y Split middle term 9x into 12x - 3x

62 3 Xt 2 27j3 + 64 = (3j + 4)(9j2 - 12j + 16)

Slope Intercept Form y = mx + b

of both, which should result in the same binomial, (x + 2). (cube root of each) “a” term = 3j, “b” term = 4 2x(x + 6) - 3(x + 6), then combine outer terms
z
Re-write with the GCF terms (x ) and (—3) as one binomial
z
(x - 3) and the double binomial (x + 2) as the other. Answer: (2x - 3)(x + 6)
Log Rules Complex Numbers Inverse Functions f(x), f -1(x)
Ab = C logAC = b i The inverse is the reflection of a function over the line
im

A line with a ZERO SLOPE, like y = 5 or y = -3 is a horizontal line

y = x. The inverse can be found by switching x and y

logx(y • z) = logx y + logx z

ii I Take out the largest factor of 4
and solving for y to get the new equation.

logx(y/z) = logx y - logx z
