Summer Review Packet For Algebra 2 CP/Honors

Name Current Course Math Teacher Introduction

Algebra 2 builds on topics studied from both Algebra 1 and Geometry. Certain topics are sufficiently involved that they call for some review during the year in Algebra 2. However, some topics and basic skills are so fundamental to any Algebra 1 course that MASTERY of these topics is expected and required PRIOR to beginning Algebra 2. This packet covers these topics, which are:

I. Solving equations in one variable. p.1

II. Solving inequalities in one variable. p.2 III. Linear Equations

A. Graphing a linear equation. p.3 B. Finding the slope. p.3 C. Writing a linear equation. p.3 D. Writing a linear equation of parallel and perpendicular lines. p.4 IV. Solving a system of linear equations. A. Graphing method. p.5-6 B. Substitution method. p.7 C. Elimination method. p.8 V. Graphing a system of linear inequalities. p.9

VI. Factoring p.10 VII. Simplifying Radicals p.11 VIII. Simplifying Expressions with Exponents p.12 IX. Solving Absolute Value Equations and Inequalities p. 12 Practice exercises begin on p.13 Answers to practice exercises begin on p.21 We will be using a Ti-83 or Ti-84 in our classes. Note about the calculators: The school will issue each student who needs/wants a Ti-83 or Ti-84 graphing calculator, just as we issue a textbook to each student. If it is lost or broken, the student must pay the replacement value of about $90. A student may prefer to purchase his/her own. If so, we recommend the Ti-84 Plus (Silver Edition optional). We then highly recommend the calculator be etched with the student’s name clearly on the front face, and on the back for security purposes. A sticker or a name written with a marker is not enough.

During this summer you are to complete this review packet, following the directions for each section. Although you will have some opportunity to get some help, if you need a lot of help, you should consider getting it before school begins. You will be tested on this material shortly after the beginning of school. The topics on computation with and without a calculator will require true mastery – a 100% result, and will be formative up to that point. We recommend you do this packet close to the onset of school.

DO NOT LOSE THIS PACKET!! It will also be available from the school website via the math department.

Solved Examples III. Linear Equations A. Graphing a linear equation Example 8: Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line whose equation is 3y = 2x + 9 and use them to graph

the equation. Solution:

The slope is the coefficient of the x-term, 32 , and the y-intercept is the constant

term, 3. To graph the line, plot the y-intercept, (0 , 3). Then, since the slope is 32 , move 2

units up(rise) and 3 units right (run) to locate a second point. (See below.)

III. Linear Equations B. Finding the slope. C. Writing a linear equation. Example 9: a) Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-2 , 5) and (4 , 8).

b) Given that the y-intercept is 6, write an equation for the line.

Solution: a) 21

b) In a linear equation of the form bmxy += , the slope is the coefficient of the x-term or linear term, namely m. The numerical term or constant term is the y-intercept, namely b. So, starting with bmxy += , substitute ½ for m and 6 for b.

Therefore, the equation is 6x21y +=

Divide by 3 to solve for y. Now the equation is in the familiar form .

Solved Examples III. Linear Equations D. Writing a linear equation of parallel and perpendicular lines.

Example 10: a) Write an equation of a line in slope-intercept form parallel to 3x32y −= and passes through the

point (3, –2)

b) Write an equation of a line in point-slope form perpendicular to 3x32y −= and passes through

the point (3, –2)

Solution: a) The32slope = since parallel lines have the same slope. Use the values for slope and the given

coordinate, and substitute the values for m, x, and y in the equation bmxy += to solve for b.

Therefore the equation parallel to 3x32y −= and passes through the point (3, –2) is:

4x32y −=

b) The23slope −= since perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes. The point-slope form is

much easier to use. It requires substituting in the values for the slope and the point.

The form is ( )11 xxmyy −=− . Substitute m with 23

− and the 1x with 3 and 1y with –2 taken from

the given coordinate (3, –2).

Therefore the equation in point-slope form of the line perpendicular to 3x32y −= and passes through

the point (3, -2) is:

( )3232 −−=+ xy

Solved Examples IV. Solving a system of linear equations. A. Graphing method. Example 11: Solve the following system by graphing.

4x2y

1xy 31

−=

+=

Solution: To solve the system of equations by graphing, you need to graph both equations carefully and then locate

the point of intersection. The point of intersection is the solution to the system. Since both equations are already in slope-intercept form it is easy to extract the slope and y-intercept of

each equation and use that information to graph each accordingly as shown previously in the section on page 3 called III. Linear Equations A. Graphing a linear equation.

The solution (the point of intersection) is (3 , 2)

Example 12: Solve the following system by graphing.

4y4x36yx=−

=+

Solution: Put each equation into slope-intercept form. The solution is (4 , 2)

Solved Example IV. Solving a system of linear equations. A. Graphing method. Example 13: Solve the following system by graphing.

11y2xy76x3

=+=+

Solution: Put each equation into slop-intercept form.

The y-intercepts for the two equations are not nice whole number, thus making it difficult to graph those points. Now make a table of x and y values and find nice points to graph. Only two points are needed to graph a line.

The solution is (5 , 3)

Solved Example IV. Solving a system of linear equations. B. Substitution method. Example 14: Solve the following system by using substitution.

27y2x313y3x=+−

=+

Solution: To solve the system of equations by substitution, you need to solve for x or y with one of the equations.

Your choice here can save time. Let’s choose to solve the 1st equation for x. This will require only 1 step.

Substitute the equivalent expression for x into the other equation. Continue to solve for y accordingly. At this point substitute the solution for y into either of the two original equations. Again your choice here can save time. Let’s choose equation1. The solution is (-5 , 6)

LHS 7


Solved Example IV. Solving a system of linear equations. C. Elimination method. Example 15: Solve the following system by using substitution.

29y3x24y5x3

=−−=+

Solution: To solve the system of equations by elimination, you need to write equivalent equations containing the

same coefficient for either x or y. Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second by 5. Then the variable y can be eliminated by adding the two equations.

Find y by substituting 7 for x in either equation. Let’s use the 1st one. The solution is (7 , –5)

Multiply by 3 Multiply by 5

Solved Examples VI. Factoring Factoring (Common Monomial Factor) Example 18: Factor 2223 2015 yzxzyx − Solution: Find the greatest common factor on the terms in the polynomial. GCF is yzx 25 . Divide each term in the polynomial by the GCF to find the other factor.

Factoring (Difference of Squares) Example 19: Factor 2516 2 −x Solution: A term is a square if the exponents on all variables in it are even and the coefficient is the square of an

integer. Both 16x2 and 25 are squares. This will only factor if the two squares are subtracted – thus a difference of squares. In particular, 16x2 = (4x)2 and 25 = (5)2. The binomial factors as the sum and the difference of the squares roots:

16x2 – 25 = (4x + 5)(4x – 5)

Factoring (Perfect Square Trinomials) Example 20: Factor 4x2 – 20xy + 25y2 Solution: A perfect square trinomial is a polynomial with three terms that results from

squaring a binomial. In other words, perfect square trinomial = (some binomial)2. To factor, we must first check that the trinomial is a perfect square by answering the following three questions:

1. Is the first term a square? Answer: Yes, 4x2 = (2x)2 2. Is the last term a square? Answer: Yes, 25y2 = (5y)2

3. Ignoring the sign at this time, is the middle term twice the product of 2x and 5y? Answer: Yes, 20xy = 2 (2x⋅5y)

Having established that the trinomial is a perfect square, it is easy to find the binomial of which it is a square; its terms are in the parenthesis above.

4x2 – 20xy + 25y2 = (2x - 5y)2 Since the middle term in the trinomial is negative, the factored result is a subtraction.

Factoring (Product – Sum) Example 21: Factor y2 + 14y + 40 Solution: If, as above, the trinomial is in standard form, the product number is the numerical term, 40, and the sum number is the coefficient of the linear term, 14. The unique

pair of number whose sum is 14 and product is 40 is 4 and 10. Therefore, the trinomial factors as y2 + 14y + 40 = (y + 4)(y + 10)

(Note: all factoring problems can be checked by multiplying out)

Square roots 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 We write, for example, 525 = . "The square root of 25 is 5." This mark is called the radical sign (after the Latin radix = root). The number under the radical sign is called the radicand. In the example, 25 is the radicand.
