The End of the Beginning
1.3 Multiply and Divide
 Multiplication = Repeated addition of the
same number

2 times 3 = 2 + 2 + 2
 The numbers being multiplied = factors
 The answer to a multiplication problem =
product
 Ways to show multiplication
Dot
Parenthesis (on one of all of the factors)
4(7) or (4)(7)
Nothing ( like 3 times B is 3B)
Big Problems
 439 (206)
 Multiple Multiplication
 4(5)(7)(1)
Properties of Multiplication
 1. If you multiply by zero, you get zero
 2. If you multiply a factor by one, you get that factor
 4x=4
x=1
 3. If you have a problem where everything is being
multiplied (i.e. no addition, subtraction, etc.) the
order in which you multiply does not matter.

(2*3)4 = 2(3*4)
Try a few
 Find the product of 8,704 and 93

809,472
 Evaluate 8ab when a = 4 and b = 2

8*4*2 = 8 * 8 = 64
 What’s 70 * 9,000 (Hint, there is a shortcut)

Take 7 * 9 and add 4 zeros = 630,000
 Is 11 a solution for 11x = 121

Yes because 11*11 = 21
Exponents
 That little number at the top right
 23 = 2*2*2 = 8

In ab, a is the base
 Multiple Exponents (Numbers and Variables)


1432 = 1*1*1*1*3*3
c2b3 = c*c*b*b*b
Division
 Important Note



Top = Numerator
Bottom = Denominator
Zero can never be the Denominator
 That is undefined
Try a few more
 What is 24(32)

144
 What is 80

1
 What’s 7694/24 ?

320r14 or 320.583333333333333333
Applications and formulas
 Area of a rectangle = length times width
 Area of a square = side times side
 Rate = distance / time
Prime Factorization
 Use your method or the Tree method
 Prime number  Divisible by 1 and itself.
 12 = 3 * 4 = 3 *2*2 = 3 *22
 Question: What is the exponent on the 3?
 Try 56, 28

Note: Factors are all the different possibilities

1.4 Equations
 Equations have an equals sign!

x+ 3 = 7
 Remember solving algebraic equations is all
about opposites.
 i.e. do the opposite of the whatever the
mathematical operation.
Solving Stuff
 What you want



X+3=5
Try to get simplify first (PEMDAS)
Try to isolate the variable
Do the opposite
X+3 =5
-3 -3
X =2
Example
 Y+5=9
 -5 -5
 Y =4




Check your answer
Sub in what you found for Y into the original equation
Does 4+5 = 9
You Bet!
