Math 40 || Prealgebra || Cerritos College – Pg 1 – Up next: Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Lecture Notes by Maria Torres Remember to read the textbook before attempting to do your homework. Section 1.1: An Introduction to Whole Numbers Definitions: ▪ A set is a collection of objects. We use braces { } to enclose its elements. ▪ The set of digits is one of the group of numbers 0 to 9 {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} ▪ The set of NATURAL NUMBERS (aka counting numbers) is given by {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, … , 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, … , 2099, 2100, 2101, …} ▪ The set of WHOLE NUMBERS include the set of natural numbers and 0. {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, … , 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, … , 2099, 2100, 2101, …} Number Line Numbers can be represented by points on the number line. To graph a number means to locate its position on the number line and highlight it with a heavy dot. Note: The point representing the number 0 is called the origin. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 5 6 7 8 9 10 Example 1: a. Graph the whole numbers less than 6. 0 1 2 3 b. Graph the natural numbers less than 6. 0 1 2 3 c. Graph the natural numbers between 5 and 9. 0 1 2 3 4 Equality and Inequality Symbols The symbol, = , is read as: “is equal to” e.g. 10 = 10 The inequality symbol, > , is read as: “is greater than” e.g. 5 > 3 The inequality symbol, < , is read as: “is less than” e.g. 4 < 6 The inequality symbol, ≥ , is read as: “is greater than or equal to” e.g. 5 ≥ 3, 5 ≥ 5 The inequality symbol, ≤ , is read as: “is less than or equal to” e.g. 4 ≤ 6, 4 ≤ 4 Psst psst: The is less than inequality symbol, < , kind of looks like the letter L – a tired L. L is for is less than? Too much drama??? If worst comes to worst, then just remember that: The inequality symbol always points to the smaller number. Math 40 || Prealgebra || Cerritos College – Pg 2 – Chapter 1 Lecture Notes by Maria Torres Example 2: Place an =, < or > symbol in the box to make a true statement a. 53 d. 50¢ 67 b. 91 $0.50 e. 50¢ 87 c. 1,918 1,920 $0.96 f. $0.99 $1 Example 3: Determine if the statement is true or false. a. 5>8 b. 13 ≥ 13 c. 9 < 15 Example 4: Write an expression described by the word phrases. a. Twenty-three is greater than five b. Five equals five d. 7≤2 c. Six is less than eighty Example 5: Panchito needs your help. He has been assigned a set of homework problems. Write down every single problem that he will have to do for that assignment. Note: eoo means “every other odd” a. 7 – 11 odd, 16 – 20 ALL, 29 – 53 eoo b. 29 – 53 eoo (end of Section 1.1) Remember to read the textbook before attempting to do your homework. Section 1.2: Adding and Subtracting Whole Numbers Section 1.3: Multiplying Whole Numbers Definitions: The answer to an addition problem is called the sum. What is the sum of 3 and 5? The answer to a subtraction problem is called the difference. What is the difference of 5 and 3? The answer to a multiplication problem is called the product. What is the product of 3 and 5? The answer to a division problem is called the quotient. What is the quotient of 15 and 5? A variable is a letter used to represent an unknown number, e.g. x, y, z, a, b, c Math 40 || Prealgebra || Cerritos College – Pg 3 – Chapter 1 Lecture Notes by Maria Torres Mutlipication Symbols: 4•9 4 × 9 9 4(9) ×4 (4)9 (4)(9) parenthesis raised dot Times Note: When multiplying a number and a variable, or when multiplying two or more variables feel free to omit the raised dot. e.g. 13k means 13 • k, “13 times k” xy means x • y, “x times y” Properties of Addition and Multiplication If a, b, and c are real numbers, then we have: Commutative Property of Addition: Commutative Property of Multiplication: a+b=b+a a•b=b•a e.g. 3+2=2+3 e.g. 3•2=2•3 (The order in which we add does not matter) (The order in which we multiply does not matter) Associative Property of Addition: a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c e.g. 2 + (3 + 4) = (2 + 3) + 4 Associative Property of Multiplication: a • (b • c) = (a • b) • c e.g. 2 • (3 • 4) = (2 • 3) • 4 The way in which the numbers are grouped does not change their sum The way in which the numbers are grouped does not change their product Distributive Property If a, b, and c are real numbers, then we have: Distributive Property Distributive Property (over addition): a(b + c) = ab + ac (over subtraction): a(b – c) = ab – ac e.g. 2(x + 3) = 2 • x + 2 • 3 e.g. 2(x – 3) = 2 • x – 2 • 3 = 2x + 6 = 2x – 6 Cool things about the distributive property . . . The distributive property tells us how to multiply a with the sum of b and c. The distributive property also tells us how to multiply a with the difference of b and c. Example 1: Which property does each represent? a. 2+1=1+2 b. (4 • 5) • 9 = 4 • (5 • 9) c. 5(6 + 2) = 5 • 6 + 5 • 2 d. 10 + (12 + 4) = (10 + 12) + 4 e. 5(6 • 2) = (5 • 6) • 2 f. 5 • (6 – 2) = 5 • 6 – 5 • 2 (end of Section 1.2 & 1.3 unit) Don’t forget to start working on today’s homework in a timely manner – that way you’ll be on track to getting the grade that you are willing to earn.

Section 1.4: Dividing Whole Numbers Division Symbols 20 ÷ 5 20 5 5 20 20/5 divided by fraction bar into slash (computer syntax) Properties of Division If a is a nonzero number (a ≠ 0), then we have: (Note: The symbol ≠ is read as “is not equal to”) a The quotient of a number The quotient of a number =1 → → and itself is 1 and 1 is that number a 4 e.g. e.g. =1 4 The quotient of 0 and a number is 0. The quotient of a number → and 0 is undefined. 0 =0 a 0 =0 4 → e.g. a =a 1 4 =4 1 a is undefined 0 4 e.g. = undefined 0 You can use this memory aid when you’re dividing by 0, or when dividing into 0. Memory aid: aid You can dunk your doughnut in your coffee but . . . You can’t dunk your coffee in your doughnut Example 1: Perform the indicated operations. a. 0 ÷ 43 b. 213 0 c. 78 ÷ 0 d. 10 0 e. 0 98 f. 23, 467 ÷ 0 Math 40 || Prealgebra || Cerritos College – Pg 5 – Chapter 1 Lecture Notes by Maria Torres Definition: Divisibility: One number is divisible by another if, when we divide them, the remainder is 0. In other words: Divisibility means that one number goes into another number without a remainder. Example 2: Is 10 divisible by 5? Solution: Example 3: Is 11 divisible by 5? Solution: 2 5 10 Look! 2 R1 5 11 Look! 5 goes into 10 2 times with no remainder. 5 does not goes into 11 without a remainder. Answer: No, 11 is not divisible by 5. Answer: Yes, 10 is divisible by 5. ☺ Tests (Rules) For Divisibility (Divisibility Rules: Can I divide this number by that number without leaving a remainder?) A number is divisible . . . By 2: if the last digit is even (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8). By 5: if the last digit is 0 or 5. By 10: if the last digit is 0. 58: 8 is even, so 58 is divisible by 2 235: the last digit is 5, so 235 is divisible by 5. 390: the last digit is 0, so 390 is divisible by 10. By 3: if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3. Note: For large numbers, digits may be summed iteratively. 1,269 → 1 + 2 + 6 + 9 = 18, and 18 → 1 + 8 = 9, and since 9 is divisible by 3, then 1,269 is divisible by 3. Example 4: By which of the following are the given numbers divisible by? Circle your response. If you’d like, you’re more than welcomed to cross out the numbers that the given number is not divisible by. Please wait for instructor to do these with you before you start having fun. Strategy: Don’t work going across, just go straight down. First check to see which numbers are divisible by 2, 5, or 10 – check for 2, then for 5, then for 10. Why??? Because all of these involve looking at the last digit. Then find the sum of the digits for each number and check to see which are divisible by 3. Why??? Because this test involves looking at the sum of the digits Number Divisible by . . . a. 320 2 3 5 10 b. 1,095 2 3 5 10 c. 37,798 2 3 5 10 Math 40 || Prealgebra || Cerritos College – Pg 6 – Chapter 1 Lecture Notes by Maria Torres Example 5: By which of the following are the given numbers divisible by?

Section 1.5: Exponents and Prime Factors Definitions: Factors: Whole numbers that multiply to form a product are called factors. In English: Numbers that are multiplied together are called factors. For example, since 2 • 7 = 14, then 2 and 7 are factors of 14. Prime number: A whole number greater than 1, that only has 1 and itself as factors. Alternative definition: A number is prime if it is only divisible by 1 and itself. Note: If a number is not prime, then it is composite, e.g. 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18 Example 1: List all the prime numbers less than 30. Example 2: Identify each of the numbers below as either a prime or composite number. If composite, give at least one divisor (factor) other than 1 and the number itself. a. 29 b. 13 c. 24 d. 50 prime number prime number prime number prime number composite number composite number composite number composite number other factors: other factors: other factors: other factors: Exponents An exponent is used to indicate repeated multiplication. It tells us how many times the base is used as a factor. Using exponents, we can rewrite 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 as 24 (read as “2 raised to the fourth power”), where 2 is called the base, and 4 is called the exponent. In general, x to the nth power, written as xn means x • x • x • … • x = xn n-times Special note for numbers with an exponent of 2 or 3: ▪ If a number is raised to the second power, then we can say that the number is squared. e.g. 52 may be read as: 5 raised to the second power, or just 5 squared. ▪ If a number is raised to the third power, then we can say that the number is cubed. e.g. 53 may be read as: 5 raised to the third power, or just 5 cubed. Example 3: Which student has the correct answer to the problem below? 23 Student #1: 23 Student #2: 23 = 6 = 8 Math 40 || Prealgebra || Cerritos College – Pg 8 – Chapter 1 Lecture Notes by Maria Torres Example 4: a. Find the prime factorization of each number – Write each number as a product of prime factors. If a number is prime, so state. b. List all the factors of each number. You may not use a calculator to answer. a. 24 b. 7 c. 48 d. 56 e. 60 f. 90 BP: 210 Example 4: Write each number in prime-factored form. Use exponent for repeated factors. Hint: Use a tree diagram (or factor tree). From the internet: • Prime factorization can be found using a tree diagram or a ladder diagram. o Remember, 1 is not prime so it is not a valid number for a tree diagram or for prime factorization! a. 180 b. 600 Example 5: The prime factorization of a number is given.

Up next: Section 1.8 & 1.9 combo unit) Math 40 || Prealgebra || Cerritos College – Pg 9 – Chapter 1 Lecture Notes by Maria Torres Remember to read the textbook before attempting to do your homework. Section 1.8: Solving Equations by Adding or Subtracting Section 1.9: Solving Equations by Multiplying or Dividing Definitions: An equation is a math sentence that contains the equals symbol, =. w =4 e.g. x + 3 = 10, p – 13 = 15, 3x = 9, 2 The solution to an equation is the number (or numbers) that when substituted for the variable make the equation a true statement. Goal: To solve equations. In other words, the goal of this section is to find all values of the variable that make the equation true (you’re finding the solutions). How? By isolating the variable. This means that you want to get the variable by itself. (variable) = (constant) x = # Example 1: Determine whether the given number is a solution of the equation. x + 5 = 15 ? a. Is 20 a solution of b. Is 9 a solution of n – 9 = 9 ? 2 Example 2: Find the number that makes the equation a true statement. If you can answer mentally, then go for it! Please write answer in the space provided. You may not use a calculator to answer. a. + 7 = 15 d. =5 8 Math 40 || Prealgebra || Cerritos College b. –4=6 – Pg 10 – c. 3 • = 27 Chapter 1 Lecture Notes by Maria Torres Properties of Equality Let a=b If a, b, and c represent real numbers, where c ≠ 0, then we have the following properties: The addition property of equality states that adding the same Addition Property of Equality number to both sides of an equation does not change its If a = b, then a + c = b + c solution. The subtraction property of equality states that subtracting the Subtraction Property of Equality same number from both sides of an equation does not change its If a = b, then a – c = b – c solution. Multiplication Property of Equality The multiplication property of equality states that multiplying the same number to both sides of an equation does not change its If a = b, then a • c = b • c solution. The division property of equality states that dividing both sides Division Property of Equality of an equation by a nonzero number does not change its If a = b, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c solution. Guidelines to Help You Solve Equations 1. Isolate the variable on one side of the equation. Fix it so you have the variable on one side, and all the non-variables on the other side. Question: What can I do to isolate the variable? Answer: Add, subtract, multiply, or divide both sides of the equation by the same number. 2. Check. Substitute your answer into the original equation and verify that it gives you a true statement. If your answer does not check out, then find your mistake and fix it. Question: Help! How do you know when you are supposed to add, subtract, multiply, or divide by a number? Solution: Oh that’s easy! Just go ahead and do the inverse operation. 1. The inverse operation of ….. 2. The inverse operation of ….. 3. The inverse operation of ….. multiplication ….. is 4. The inverse operation of ….. addition ….. is ….. is ….. is Example 3: Solve. Check your answer. You may not use a calculator to answer. Ran out of space??? (Example 4 concludes the end of Section 1.8 & 1.9) Don’t worry! Just take out a sheet of paper and continue writing.
