Tips for Success in Mathematics

OBJECTIVES 1 Get Ready for This Course. 2 Understand Some General Tips for Success.

3 Get Help as Soon as You Need It.

4 Learn How to Prepare for and Take an Exam.

5 Develop Good Time Management.

Before reading this section, remember that your instructor is your best source of information. Please see your instructor for any additional help or information. OBJECTIVE

Getting Ready for This Course 1 Now that you have decided to take this course, remember that a positive attitude will make all the difference in the world. Your belief that you can succeed is just as important as your commitment to this course. Make sure you are ready for this course by having the time and positive attitude that it takes to succeed. Next, make sure that you have scheduled your math course at a time that will give you the best chance for success. For example, if you are also working, you may want to check with your employer to make sure that your work hours will not conflict with your course schedule. On the day of your first class period, double-check your schedule and allow yourself extra time to arrive on time in case of traffic problems or difficulty locating your classroom. Make sure that you bring at least your textbook, paper, and a writing instrument. Are you required to have a lab manual, graph paper, calculator, or some other supplies besides this text? If so, also bring this material with you. OBJECTIVE

Helpful Hint MyMathLab® and MathXL® If you are doing your homework online, you can work and rework those exercises that you struggle with until you master them. Try working through all the assigned exercises twice before the due date.

Helpful Hint MyMathLab® and MathXL® If you are completing your homework online, it’s important to work each exercise on paper before submitting the answer. That way, you can check your work and follow your steps to find and correct any mistakes.

General Tips for Success

Following are some general tips that will increase your chance for success in a mathematics class. Many of these tips will also help you in other courses you may be taking. Exchange names and phone numbers or email addresses with at least one other person in class. This contact person can be a great help if you miss an assignment or want to discuss math concepts or exercises that you find difficult. Choose to attend all class periods. If possible, sit near the front of the classroom. This way, you will see and hear the presentation better. It may also be easier for you to participate in classroom activities. Do your homework. You’ve probably heard the phrase “practice makes perfect” in relation to music and sports. It also applies to mathematics. You will find that the more time you spend solving mathematics exercises, the easier the process becomes. Be sure to schedule enough time to complete your assignments before the next due date assigned by your instructor. Check your work. Review the steps you made while working a problem. Learn to check your answers in the original problems. You may also compare your answers with the “Answers to Selected Exercises” section in the back of the book. If you have made a mistake, try to figure out what went wrong. Then correct your mistake. If you can’t find what went wrong, don’t erase your work or throw it away. Bring your work to your instructor, a tutor in a math lab, or a classmate. It is easier for someone to find where you had trouble if he or she looks at your original work. Learn from your mistakes and be patient with yourself. Everyone, even your instructor, makes mistakes. (That definitely includes me—Elayn Martin-Gay.) Use your errors to learn and to become a better math student. The key is finding and understanding your errors. Was your mistake a careless one, or did you make it because you can’t read your own math writing? If so, try to work more slowly or write more neatly and make a conscious effort to check your work carefully. Did you make a mistake because you don’t understand a concept? Take the time to review the concept or ask questions to understand it better. Did you skip too many steps? Skipping steps or trying to do too many steps mentally may lead to preventable mistakes. Know how to get help if you need it. It’s all right to ask for help. In fact, it’s a good idea to ask for help whenever there is something that you don’t understand. Make sure you know when your instructor has office hours and how to find his or her office. Find

Helpful Hint MyMathLab® and MathXL® When assignments are turned in online, keep a hard copy of your complete written work. You will need to refer to your written work to be able to ask questions and to study for tests later.

Helpful Hint MyMathLab® and MathXL® Be aware of assignments and due dates set by your instructor. Don’t wait until the last minute to submit work online. Allow 6–8 hours before the deadline in case you have technology trouble.

Helpful Hint MyMathLab® and MathXL® • Use the Help Me Solve This button to get step-by-step help for the exercise you are working. You will need to work an additional exercise of the same type before you can get credit for having worked it correctly. • Use the Video button to view a video clip of the author working a similar exercise.

out whether math tutoring services are available on your campus. Check on the hours, location, and requirements of the tutoring service. Organize your class materials, including homework assignments, graded quizzes and tests, and notes from your class or lab. All of these items will make valuable references throughout your course and when studying for upcoming tests and the final exam. Make sure that you can locate these materials when you need them. Read your textbook before class. Reading a mathematics textbook is unlike reading a novel or a newspaper. Your pace will be much slower. It is helpful to have paper and a pencil with you when you read. Try to work out examples on your own as you encounter them in your text. You should also write down any questions that you want to ask in class. When you read a mathematics textbook, sometimes some of the information in a section will be unclear. But after you hear a lecture or watch a lecture video on that section, you will understand it much more easily than if you had not read your text beforehand. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. You are not the only person in class with questions. Other students are normally grateful that someone has spoken up. Turn in assignments on time. This way, you can be sure that you will not lose points for being late. Show every step of a problem and be neat and organized. Also be sure that you understand which problems are assigned for homework. If allowed, you can always double-check the assignment with another student in your class.

OBJECTIVE

3 Getting Help If you have trouble completing assignments or understanding the mathematics, get help as soon as you need it! This tip is presented as an objective on its own because it is so important. In mathematics, usually the material presented in one section builds on your understanding of the previous section. This means that if you don’t understand the concepts covered during a class period, there is a good chance that you will not understand the concepts covered during the next class period. If this happens to you, get help as soon as you can. Where can you get help? Many suggestions have been made in this section on where to get help, and now it is up to you to get it. Try your instructor, a tutoring center, or a math lab, or you may want to form a study group with fellow classmates. If you do decide to see your instructor or go to a tutoring center, make sure that you have a neat notebook and are ready with your questions.

Review of Real Numbers OBJECTIVE

Helpful Hint MyMathLab® and MathXL® Review your written work for previous assignments. Then, go back and rework previous assignments. Open a previous assignment and click Similar Exercise to generate new exercises. Rework the exercises until you fully understand them and can work them without help features.

4 Preparing for and Taking an Exam Make sure that you allow yourself plenty of time to prepare for a test. If you think that you are a little “math anxious,” it may be that you are not preparing for a test in a way that will ensure success. The way that you prepare for a test in mathematics is important. To prepare for a test: 1. Review your previous homework assignments. 2. Review any notes from class and section-level quizzes you have taken. (If this is a final exam, also review chapter tests you have taken.) 3. Review concepts and definitions by reading the Chapter Highlights at the end of this chapter. 4. Practice working out exercises by completing the Chapter Review found at the end of this chapter. 5. It is important to place yourself in conditions similar to test conditions to find out how you will perform. In other words, as soon as you feel that you know the material, get a few blank sheets of paper and take a sample test. A Chapter Test is available at the end of this chapter, or you can work selected problems from the Chapter Review. Your instructor may also provide you with a review sheet. During this sample test, do not use your notes or your textbook. Then check your sample test. If you are not satisfied with the results, study the areas that you are weak in and try again. 6. On the day of the test, allow yourself plenty of time to arrive where you will be taking your exam. When taking your test: 1. Read the directions on the test carefully. 2. Read each problem carefully as you take the test. Make sure that you answer the question asked. 3. Watch your time and pace yourself so that you can attempt each problem on your test. 4. If you have time, check your work and answers. 5. Do not turn your test in early. If you have extra time, spend it double-checking your work.

Managing Your Time

As a college student, you know the demands that classes, homework, work, and family place on your time. Some days, you probably wonder how you’ll ever get everything done. One key to managing your time is developing a schedule. Here are some hints for making a schedule:

Stylephotographs/Dreamstime

1. Make a list of all your weekly commitments for the term. Include classes, work, regular meetings, extracurricular activities, etc. You may also find it helpful to list such things as laundry, regular workouts, grocery shopping, etc. 2. Next, estimate the time needed for each item on the list. Also make a note of how often you will need to do each item. Don’t forget to include time estimates for the reading, studying, and homework you do outside of your classes. You may want to ask your instructor for help estimating the time needed. 3. In the exercise set that follows, you are asked to block out a typical week on the schedule grid given. Start with items with fixed time slots like classes and work. 4. Next, include the items on your list with flexible time slots. Think carefully about how best to schedule items such as study time. 5. Don’t fill up every time slot on the schedule. Remember that you need to allow time for eating, sleeping, and relaxing! You should also allow a little extra time in case some items take longer than planned. 6. If you find that your weekly schedule is too full for you to handle, you may need to make some changes in your workload, classload, or other areas of your life. You may want to talk to your advisor, manager or supervisor at work, or someone in your college’s academic counseling center for help with such decisions.

Exercise Set

1. What is your instructor’s name? 2. What are your instructor’s office location and office hours? 3. What is the best way to contact your instructor? 4. Do you have the name and contact information of at least one other student in class? 5. Will your instructor allow you to use a calculator in this class? 6. Why is it important that you write step-by-step solutions to homework exercises and keep a hard copy of all work submitted?

7. Is a tutoring service available on campus? If so, what are its hours? What services are available? 8. Have you attempted this course before? If so, write down ways that you might improve your chances of success during this second attempt. 9. List some steps that you can take if you begin having trouble understanding the material or completing an assignment. If you are completing your homework in MyMathLab® and MathXL®, list the resources you can use for help.

Using a Number Line to Order Numbers

We begin with a review of the set of natural numbers and the set of whole numbers and how we use symbols to compare these numbers. A set is a collection of objects, each of which is called a member or element of the set. A pair of brace symbols 5 6 encloses the list of elements and is translated as “the set of” or “the set containing.”

A number line

Natural Numbers The set of natural numbers is 5 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, c6 . Whole Numbers The set of whole numbers is 5 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, c6 .

The three dots (an ellipsis) means that the list continues in the same manner indefinitely.

These numbers can be pictured on a number line. We will use number lines often to help us visualize distance and relationships between numbers. To draw a number line, first draw a line. Choose a point on the line and label it 0. To the right of 0, label any other point 1. Being careful to use the same distance as from 0 to 1, mark off equally spaced distances. Label these points 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on. Since e the whole numbers continue indefinitely, it is not possible to show every whole number on this number line. The arrow at the right end of the line indicates that the pattern continues indefinitely. Picturing whole numbers on a number line helps us see the order of the numbers. Symbols can be used to describe concisely in writing the order that we see. The equal symbol = means ;is equal to.< The symbol ⬆ means ;is not equal to.< These symbols may be used to form a mathematical statement. The statement might be true or it might be false. The two statements below are both true. 2 = 2 states that ;two is equal to two.< 2 ⬆ 6 states that ;two is not equal to six.

Properties of Real Numbers OBJECTIVE

OBJECTIVES 1 Use the Commutative and Associative Properties.

2 Use the Distributive Property.

3 Use the Identity and Inverse Properties.

Using the Commutative and Associative Properties 1 In this section, we give names to properties of real numbers with which we are already familiar. Throughout this section, the variables a, b, and c represent real numbers. We know that order does not matter when adding numbers. For example, we know that 7 + 5 is the same as 5 + 7. This property is given a special name—the commutative property of addition. We also know that order does not matter when multiplying numbers. For example, we know that -5162 = 61 -52. This property means that multiplication is commutative also and is called the commutative property of multiplication. Commutative Properties a + b = b + a a#b = b#a

Addition: Multiplication:

These properties state that the order in which any two real numbers are added or multiplied does not change their sum or product. For example, if we let a = 3 and b = 5, then the commutative properties guarantee that 3 + 5 = 5 + 3

and

3#5 = 5#3

Helpful Hint Is subtraction also commutative? Try an example. Does 3 - 2 = 2 - 3? No! The left side of this statement equals 1; the right side equals -1. There is no commutative property of subtraction. Similarly, there is no commutative property for division. For example, 10 , 2 does not equal 2 , 10.

EXAMPLE 1

Use a commutative property to complete each statement. b. 3 # x =

a. x + 5 =

Solution a. x + 5 = 5 + x b. 3 # x = x # 3

CONCEPT CHECK Which of the following pairs of actions are commutative? a. b. c. d.

“raking the leaves” and “bagging the leaves” “putting on your left glove” and “putting on your right glove” “putting on your coat” and “putting on your shirt” “reading a novel” and “reading a newspaper”

Answers to Concept Check: b, d

Let’s now discuss grouping numbers. We know that when we add three numbers, the way in which they are grouped or associated does not change their sum. For example, we know that 2 + 13 + 42 = 2 + 7 = 9. This result is the same if we group the numbers differently. In other words, 12 + 32 + 4 = 5 + 4 = 9 also. Thus, 2 + 13 + 42 = 12 + 32 + 4. This property is called the associative property of addition. We also know that changing the grouping of numbers when multiplying does not change their product. For example, 2 # 13 # 42 = 12 # 32 # 4 (check it). This is the associative property of multiplication.

61

Review of Real Numbers

Associative Properties Addition: Multiplication:

1a + b2 + c = a + 1b + c2 1a # b2 # c = a # 1b # c2

These properties state that the way in which three numbers are grouped does not change their sum or their product.

EXAMPLE 2

Use an associative property to complete each statement. b. 1 -1 # 22 # 5 =

a. 5 + 14 + 62 =

Solution a. 5 + 14 + 62 = 15 + 42 + 6 b. 1 -1 # 22 # 5 = -1 # 12 # 52

By the associative property of addition By the associative property of multiplication

PRACTICE

2

Use an associative property to complete each statement. b. -4 # 12 # 72 =

a. 12 + 92 + 7 =

Helpful Hint Remember the difference between the commutative properties and the associative properties. The commutative properties have to do with the order of numbers, and the associative properties have to do with the grouping of numbers.

Let’s now illustrate how these properties can help us simplify expressions.

EXAMPLE 3 a. 10 + 1x + 122

Simplify each expression. b. -317x2

Solution a. 10 + 1x + 122 = 10 + 112 + x2 = 110 + 122 + x = 22 + x b. -317x2 = 1 -3 # 72x = -21x

By the commutative property of addition By the associative property of addition Add. By the associative property of multiplication Multiply.

a. 15 + x2 + 9

b. 51 -6x2

OBJECTIVE

2 Using the Distributive Property The distributive property of multiplication over addition is used repeatedly throughout algebra. It is useful because it allows us to write a product as a sum or a sum as a product. We know that 712 + 42 = 7162 = 42. Compare that with 7122 + 7142 = 14 + 28 = 42. Since both original expressions equal 42, they must equal each other, or 7(2+4)=7(2)+7(4) This is an example of the distributive property. The product on the left side of the equal sign is equal to the sum on the right side. We can think of the 7 as being distributed to each number inside the parentheses.

62

Review of Real Numbers

Distributive Property of Multiplication Over Addition a(b+c)=ab+ac Since multiplication is commutative, this property can also be written as (b+c)a=ba+ca The distributive property can also be extended to more than two numbers inside the parentheses. For example, 3(x+y+z)=3(x)+3(y)+3(z) = 3x + 3y + 3z Since we define subtraction in terms of addition, the distributive property is also true for subtraction. For example 2(x-y)=2(x)-2(y) = 2x - 2y

OBJECTIVE

3 Using the Identity and Inverse Properties Next, we look at the identity properties. The number 0 is called the identity for addition because when 0 is added to any real number, the result is the same real number. In other words, the identity of the real number is not changed. The number 1 is called the identity for multiplication because when a real number is multiplied by 1, the result is the same real number. In other words, the identity of the real number is not changed.

Identities for Addition and Multiplication 0 is the identity element for addition. a + 0 = a

and

0 + a = a

1 is the identity element for multiplication. a#1 = a

and

1#a = a

Notice that 0 is the only number that can be added to any real number with the result that the sum is the same real number. Also, 1 is the only number that can be multiplied by any real number with the result that the product is the same real number. Additive inverses or opposites were introduced in Section 5. Two numbers are called additive inverses or opposites if their sum is 0. The additive inverse or opposite of 6 is -6 because 6 + 1 -62 = 0. The additive inverse or opposite of -5 is 5 because -5 + 5 = 0.

The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a joint operation between the FBI and the National White-Collar Crime Center. The IC3 receives and refers criminal complaints occurring on the Internet. Of course, nondelivery of merchandise or payment are the highest reported offenses. In Section 6, Exercises 15 and 16, we analyze a bar graph on the yearly number of complaints received by the IC3.

Inequalities Much of mathematics relates to deciding which statements are true and which are false. For example, the statement x + 7 = 15 is an equation stating that the sum x + 7 has the same value as 15. Is this statement true or false? It is false for some values of x and true for just one value of x, namely 8. Our purpose in this chapter is to learn ways of deciding which values make an equation or an inequality true.

Simplifying Algebraic Expressions

OBJECTIVES 1 Identify Terms, Like Terms, and Unlike Terms.

2 Combine Like Terms.

As we explore in this section, an expression such as 3x + 2x is not as simple as possible because—even without replacing x by a value—we can perform the indicated addition. OBJECTIVE

1 Identifying Terms, Like Terms, and Unlike Terms Before we practice simplifying expressions, some new language of algebra is presented. A term is a number or the product of a number and variables raised to powers.

3 Use the Distributive Property to

Terms

Remove Parentheses.

Helpful Hint The term -y means -1y and thus has a numerical coefficient of -1. The term z means 1z and thus has a numerical coefficient of 1.

EXAMPLE 1 a. -3y

Identify the numerical coefficient in each term. x c. y d. -x e. b. 22z 4 7

Solution a. The numerical coefficient of -3y is -3. b. The numerical coefficient of 22z 4 is 22. c. The numerical coefficient of y is 1, since y is 1y. d. The numerical coefficient of -x is -1, since -x is -1x. x 1 x 1 e. The numerical coefficient of is , since means # x. 7 7 7 7 PRACTICE

OBJECTIVE

2 Combining Like Terms An algebraic expression containing the sum or difference of like terms can be simplified by applying the distributive property. For example, by the distributive property, we rewrite the sum of the like terms 3x + 2x as 3x + 2x = 13 + 22x = 5x Also, -y 2 + 5y 2 = -1y 2 + 5y 2 = 1 -1 + 52y 2 = 4y 2 Simplifying the sum or difference of like terms is called combining like terms.

EXAMPLE 3 a. 7x - 3x

Simplify each expression by combining like terms.

b. 10y 2 + y 2

c. 8x2 + 2x - 3x

Solution a. 7x - 3x = 17 - 32x = 4x b. 10y 2 + y 2 = 10y 2 + 1y 2 = 110 + 12y 2 = 11y 2 c. 8x2 + 2x - 3x = 8x2 + 12 - 32x = 8x2 - x d. 9n 2 - 5n 2 + n 2 = 19 - 5 + 12n 2 = 5n 2 PRACTICE

b. 4x2 + x2 d. 20y 2 + 2y 2 - y 2

d. 9n 2 - 5n 2 + n 2

Equations, Inequalities, and Problem Solving The previous example suggests the following: Combining Like Terms To combine like terms, add the numerical coefficients and multiply the result by the common variable factors.

EXAMPLE 4

Simplify each expression by combining like terms.

a. 2x + 3x + 5 + 2

b. -5a - 3 + a + 2 1 e. - b + b 2

d. 2.3x + 5x - 6

c. 4y - 3y 2

Solution Use the distributive property to combine like terms. a. 2x + 3x + 5 + 2 = 12 + 32x + 15 + 22 = 5x + 7 b. -5a - 3 + a + 2 = -5a + 1a + 1 -3 + 22 = 1 -5 + 12a + 1 -3 + 22 = -4a - 1 2 c. 4y - 3y These two terms cannot be combined because they are unlike terms. d. 2.3x + 5x - 6 = 12.3 + 52x - 6 = 7.3x - 6 1 1 1 1 e. - b + b = - b + 1b = a - + 1b b = b 2 2 2 2 PRACTICE

OBJECTIVE

3 Using the Distributive Property Simplifying expressions makes frequent use of the distributive property to also remove parentheses. It may be helpful to study the examples below. ±(3a+2)=±1(3a+2)=±1(3a)+(±1)(2)=3a+2 means

–(3a+2)=–1(3a+2)=–1(3a)+(–1)(2)=–3a-2 means

EXAMPLE 5

c. -19x + y - 2z + 62 = -119x + y - 2z + 62 Distribute -1 over each term. = -119x2 - 11y2 - 11 -2z2 - 1162 = -9x - y + 2z - 6 PRACTICE

5

Find each product by using the distributive property to remove parentheses.

a. 312x - 72 c. -12x - y + z - 22

b. -51x - 0.5z - 52

Helpful Hint If a ; -< sign precedes parentheses, the sign of each term inside the parentheses is changed when the distributive property is applied to remove parentheses. Examples: -12x + 12 = -2x - 1

-1 -5x + y - z2 = 5x - y + z

-1x - 2y2 = -x + 2y

-1 -3x - 4y - 12 = 3x + 4y + 1

When simplifying an expression containing parentheses, we often use the distributive property in both directions—first to remove parentheses and then again to combine any like terms.

EXAMPLE 6 a. 312x - 52 + 1

Simplify each expression. b. -214x + 72 - 13x - 12

c. 9 + 314x - 102

Solution a. 312x - 52 + 1 = 6x - 15 + 1 Apply the distributive property. = 6x - 14 Combine like terms. b. -214x + 72 - 13x - 12 = -8x - 14 - 3x + 1 Apply the distributive property. Combine like terms. = -11x - 13 Helpful Hint Don’t forget to use the distributive property and multiply before adding or subtracting like terms.

c. 9+3(4x-10)=9+12x-30 = -21 + 12x or 12x - 21

Apply the distributive property. Combine like terms.
