Chapter 1 Big Ideas

1. When adding numbers with the same sign, add their absolute values and use the sign of the numbers. When adding numbers with different signs, find the difference of their absolute values and use the sign of the number with the greater absolute value.

2. The operations of squaring and finding a square root are inverse operations.

3. An irrational number cannot be

expressed in the form ab . π is an

irrational number because it cannot be

expressed in the form ab .

4. Start at the origin. Move 5 units left and 7 units up.

5. Natural numbers and whole numbers both include counting numbers. Whole numbers also include zero.

Chapter 2 Big Ideas

1. When adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing the same nonzero number on both sides of an equation, the statement will still be true.

2. When solving an equation that is always true, the original equation is an identity, and it has infinitely many solutions. But when solving an equation that is false, the original equation is a contradiction, and it has no solutions.

3. Step 1 Locate the variable you are asked to solve for in the equation.

Step 2 Identify the operations on this variable and the order in which they are applied.

Step 3 Use inverse operations to undo operations and isolate the variable.

4. You can solve proportions for a missing value by using the Cross Products Property, which states that in a proportion, cross products are equal. Then solve the equation for the missing value.

5. A percent change can be found by dividing the amount of increase or decrease by the original amount. Then express the quotient as a percent.

Chapter 3 Big Ideas

1. To show that an endpoint is a solution, draw a solid circle at the number. To show that an endpoint is not a solution, draw an empty circle.

2. To solve an inequality or an equation, you need to isolate the variable and use inverse operations.

3. When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by the same negative number, you reverse the inequality symbol. When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by the same positive number, you do not change the inequality symbol.

4. Graph each part of the inequality separately noting when to use a solid circle and when to use an empty circle.

1. Continuous graphs are graphs that are connected by lines or curves. Discrete graphs are graphs that only have distinct points. An example of continuous data is time. An example of discrete data is the number of candles sold.

2. A relation is a function when each domain value is paired with exactly one range value.

3. The input of a function is the independent variable and the output of a function is the dependent variable. The value of the

dependent variable depends on the value of the independent variable.

4. Step 1: Use the function to generate ordered pairs by choosing several values for x. Step 2: Plot enough points to see a pattern for the graph. Step 3: Connect the points with a line or smooth curve.

Chapter 5 Big Ideas

1. To find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for y and solve for x. To find the y-intercept, substitute 0 for x and solve for y.

2. The line of a positive slope rises from left to right. The line of a negative slope falls from left to right. The line of a slope of zero is horizontal. The line of a slope that is undefined is vertical.

3. The slopes of parallel lines are the same. The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other.

4. When the y-intercept b is changed in the function f(x) = mx + b, the graph is translated vertically. When the slope m is changed in the function f(x) = mx + b it causes a rotation of the graph about the point (0, b), which changes the line’s steepness. When the slope m is multiplied by –1 in f(x) = mx + b, the graph is reflected across the y-axis.

1. Step 1 Solve for one variable in at least one equation, if necessary.

Step 2 Substitute the resulting expression into the other equation.

Step 3 Solve the equation to get the value of the first variable.

Step 4 Substitute that value into one of the original equations and solve.

Step 5 Write the values from Steps 3 and 4 as an ordered pair, (x, y), and check.

2. Use the graphing method when both equations are solved for y or when an estimate is needed.

Use substitution when a variable in either equation has a coefficient of 1 or -1, both equations are solved for the same variable, or either equation is solved for a variable.

Use elimination when both equations have the same variable with the same or opposite coefficients, or a variable term in one equation is a multiple of the corresponding variable term in the other equation.

3. Step 1 Solve the inequality for y (slope-intercept form).

Step 2 Graph the boundary line. Use a solid line for or . Use a dashed line for or < or >.

Step 3 Shade the half-plane above the line for y > or y ≥. Shade the half-plane below the line for y < or y ≤.

4. The graph of a dependent system is the same line. The graph of a consistent system is intersecting lines. The graph of an inconsistent system is parallel lines.

9. If a prime number base b appear in the numerator (or denominator), it cannot occur in the denominator (or numerator) as well because then the rational number is not fully simplified.

ex: n

mb ab c

= n mb ac

10. Every rational number can be written as a quotient whose numerator is 1 or the product of prime numbers raised to positive integer exponents and whose denominator can be written as 1 or the product of prime numbers raised to positive integer exponents, and there are no prime bases common to the numerator and the denominator.

Chapter 7 Big Ideas

1. For zero exponents, a base of zero gives

you =0 00

0. For negative exponents, a

base of zero gives you − = =1 1

000

nn

.

Since dividing by 0 is undefined, neither value exists.

2. When the exponent is a positive number, move the decimal point that number of places to the right. When the exponent is a negative number, move the decimal point that number of places to the left.

© Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company Holt McDougal Algebra 159

Page 64: Alg 1

3. An exponential expression is completely simplified if there are no negative exponents, the same base does not appear more than once in a product or quotient, no powers are raised to powers, no products are raised to powers, no quotients are raised to powers, and numerical coefficients in a quotient do not have any common factors other than 1.

4. 1 Multiply the First terms: = 2•x x x . 2. Multiply the Outer terms: =• 2 2x x . 3. Multiply the Inner terms: =•3 3x x . 4. Multiply the Last terms: =•3 2 6 .

Then combine like terms: + +2 5 6x x .

Chapter 8 Big Ideas

1. The GCF contains the variable raised to the lower exponent.

2. Step 1 Find the greatest common factor. Step 2 Write each term as a product

using the GCF. Step 3 Use the Distributive Property to

factor out the GCF. Step 4 Check by multiplying. 3. To factor the quadratic trinomial of the

form + +2x bx c , find two factors of c whose sum is b.

4. When c is positive, the trinomial’s factors have the same sign. The sign of b tells whether the factors are positive or negative. When b is positive, the factors are positive, and when b is negative, the factors are negative. When c is negative, the trinomial’s factors have opposite signs. The sign of b tells which factor is positive and which is negative. The factor with the greatest absolute value has he same sign as b.

Chapter 9 Big Ideas

1. If a function has one zero, use the x-coordinate of the vertex to find the axis of symmetry. If a function has two zeros, use the average of the two zeros to find the axis of symmetry.

2. To find the x-coordinate of the vertex, find the axis of symmetry by using zeros or the formula. To find the corresponding y-coordinate, substitute the x-coordinate of the vertex into the function. Then write the vertex as an ordered pair.

3. First, factor. Then, set each factor equal to zero. Finally, solve each resulting equation.

4. Write the equation in the form

= +2x bx c . Find ⎛ ⎞⎜ ⎟⎝ ⎠

2

2b

. Complete the

square by adding ⎛ ⎞⎜ ⎟⎝ ⎠

2

2b

to both sides of

the equation. Factor the perfect square trinomial. Take the square root of both sides. Write two equations, using both the positive and negative square root and solve each equation.

Boy do I have problems!

Chapter 10 Big Ideas

1. Find the mean of the middle two data values.

2. The scale of a graph might not start at zero. The sectors of a circle graph might not add to 100%. A sample might not be large enough to represent the entire population. A sample might not be random.

3. Experimental probability is found by conducting an experiment to find probabilities or an event. Theoretical probability is the probability that should occur when an experiment is conducted.

4. If the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the other then the events are independent. If the occurrence of one event does affect the probability of the other then the events are dependent. The result of tossing a dime and a nickel is an independent event. A dependent event is choosing a game piece, and then your sister picks another game piece.

5. Permutation; The order of players chosen as starters does matter. When one player is chosen as a starter he/she cannot be chosen for another starting position.

Chapter 12 Big Ideas

1. There is an asymptote at x = 3 because when x = 3 the denominator in the function is 0, and dividing by 0 is undefined.

2. A rational expression is in simplest form when the numerator and denominator have no common factors except 1.

3. Step 1 Identify the LCD. Step 2 Multiply each expression by an

appropriate form of 1 so that each term has the LCD as its denominator.

© Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company Holt McDougal Algebra 1103

Page 108: Alg 1

Step 3 Write each expression using the

LCD. Step 4 Add or subtract the numerators,

combining like terms as needed. Step 5 Factor. Step 6 Simplify as needed. 4. Step 1 Write the binomial and polynomial

in long division form. Step 2 Divide the first term of the

dividend by the first term of the divisor. This is the first term of the quotient.

Step 3 Multiply this first term of the quotient by the binomial divisor and place the product under the dividend, aligning like terms.

Step 4 Subtract the product from the dividend.

Step 5 Bring down the next term in the dividend.

Step 6 Repeat Steps 2–5 as necessary until you get 0 or until the degree of the remainder is less than the degree of the binomial.
