Review for Final Systems of Linear Equations Two Equations, Two Unknowns • Solve; – Graphically – By substitution – By addition (elimination) • When there is no solution • When the lines are identical What is a solution? • A solution is a coordinate pair that satisfies both equations • 2x – 3y = 3 and 4x – 3y = 9 • The coordinate pair (3,1) satisfies both solutions • To verify this, substitute the pair: 2(3) – 3(1) = 6 – 3 = 3: OK 4(3) – 3(1) = 12 – 3 = 9: OK Solving by Graphing • This is quite hard to do well – you have to be very accurate when drawing your graph • The solution to a system of equations must satisfy both equations; that happens when the lines cross. Graphing a Line • Need a minimum of two points, three for safety • Can use: a table of points generated from the equation the intercepts a point and the slope • To verify if a point is on a line, substituted the point into the equation and see if it works Find the solution • -x + 3y = 10 and x + y = 2 8 6 4 2 0 -8 -6 -4 -2 -2 0 2 4 6 -4 -6 -8 • The answer seems to be (-1, 3); check -(1) + 3(3) = 10 and (1) + (3) = 2; it works! 8 Solving by Substitution • x + 2y = 10 and 3x + 4y = 8 • Get one equation in the form of x = qqqqqq or y = qqqqqqq • Substitute for x or y in the other equation and solve • Here, the first is easy: x + 2y = 10 becomes x = 10 – 2y • Substituted for x in the other equation: 3(10 – 2y) + 4y = 8 30 – 6y + 4y = 8 -2y = - 22, y = 11 • Find x: x = 10 – 2y = 10 – 22 = -12 • Solution is (-12, 11); substitute back in to check Solve by Addition (Elimination) 2x + 3y = 9 4x + y = 8 • Multiply the first equation by -2 and add: -4x -6y = -18 4x + y = 8 -5y = -10 or y = 2 • Substitute to find x: 2x + 3y = 9 becomes 2x + 6 = 9 or x = 3/2 • Check solution: 4(3/2) + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8; correct 2(3/2) + 3(2) = 3 + 6 = 9; correct Fractions? • Since it is an equation, can eliminate, if choose: • x/2 + y/6 = 2/3 becomes • 3x + y = 4 Inconsistent Equations • Inconsistent equations have no solution • Graphically, the lines are parallel • If you can verify the slopes are the same, you can save yourself some time • Else: y = 3x – 6 and 6x – 2y = 9 substitute y = 3x – 6 into the second, getting: 6x – 2(3x – 6) = 9 0 + 12 = 9; this can’t be true • But, the slopes of each equation are the same: y = 3x – 6 and 2y = 6x – 9; could have told that Dependent equations, or Identities • Identities are equations that are identical • y = 3x – 6 and 2y = 6x – 9; weren’t identical, but if we had y = 3x – 6 and 2y = 6x – 12 they would have been and we would have gotten to a point 0=0 • In that case, we say that there are infinite solutions, or that the system is an identity, or that we have dependent equations Summary • Two equations can have – One solution (usual case) – No solution (parallel lines) – Infinite solutions (thy are the same line) • When you get a solution, plug it in and verify it • Solve by addition (elimination) or substitution • Clear fractions (or decimals) as desired Example • 3x + 4y = 8 • x + 2y = 10 14 Solution • 3x + 4y = 8 • x + 2y = 10 • Solve the 2nd for x: x = 10 – 2y • Substitute into the first: 3(10 – 2y) + 4y = 8 30 – 6y + 4y = 8 -2y = -22 y = 11; x = 10 – 2y = 10 – 22 = -12 • Check: 3(-12)+4(11) = -36 + 44 = 8; OK (-12) + 2(11) = -12 + 22 = 10; OK 15 Example • x = 3y – 4 • x + 2y = 6 16 Solution • x = 3y – 4 • x + 2y = 6 Rewrite the first as x – 3y = -4 Subtract the 2nd from the first -3y – 2y = -10 y = 2, subst into the 2nd, x = 2 17 Example • What if we have fractions? x/2 + y/6 = 2/3 x/4 – y/5 = 7/4 18 Solution x/2 + y/6 = 2/3 x/4 – y/5 = 7/4 let’s clear the fractions in each. Multiply first by 6, 2nd by 20 3x + y = 4 5x – 4y = 35 Now multiply the first by 4 and add 12x + 4y = 16 5x – 4y = 35 17x = 51, x = 3, so y = -5 19 Inconsistent equations? • When you substitute, you find a contradiction y = 3x – 6 6x – 2y = 9 Substitute the first into the second: 6x – 2(3x – 6) = 9 6x – 6x + 12 = 9 or 12 = 9 12 9 Note – the lines are parallel: Slope is 3 for both 20 Consistent Equations? • 2x = 4y + 6 • 3x – 6y = 9 • You will arrive at an identity • Divide the second equation by 3: x – 2y = 3 or x = 2y + 3 • Substituted for x in the first: 2(2y + 3) = 4y + 6 4y + 6 = 4y + 6, an identity • The lines are the same; all points on the line satisfy both equations 21 Example Solve: • y = 4x – 2 • 3x – y = 4 22 Solution • y = 4x – 2 • 3x – y = 4 Rewrite first equation as 4x – y = 2 Subtract the second equation from the first x = 2-4 = -2 Subst into 4x – y = 2 to get y = -10 Check: -10 = -(4)(2) -2 and 3(-2) – (-10) = 4 23 Inequalities Treat Inequalities as Equations • Solve as one would normally EXCEPT – You cannot multiply or divide by a negative number without changing the direction of an inequality • If we have -2x < -4 then x > 2 • 3x < 5 + x 2x < 5 is the solution, can graph on a number line • Open circles for < and >, close circles for and Exponents Rules • xn is just x multiplied n times • Product rule: xn xm = xn+m • Power rule: (xn) m = xnm • Quotient rule: xn / xm = xn-m • Zero exponents: x0 = 1 • Negative exponents x-n = 1/xn and 1/x-n = xn • In complex expressions, simplify the inside of the parentheses first, then multiply parentheses Polynomials Definitions • Contains sums of terms of the form 3xn , where 3 is the coefficient and n is an integer 0 (no negatives or fractions) • A monomial has one such term, binomial two, etc • The order of a term is the sum of its exponents • The order of a polynomial is the order of its largest term Multiplying Polynomials • Apply repetitive use of the distributive property; formalized in FOIL or box foil (3y – x)(2y + 5x) = 6y2 – 2xy + 15xy – 5x2 = 6y2 – 13xy – 5x2 Dividing by Monomials 3x4 – 4x2 – 5 = 3x3/2 – 2x – 5/x 2x 1/(2x) acts like a number multiplying each term Scientific Notation • 1.5 x 108 • The number multiplying must be -10< n < 10, in other words, one place to the left of the decimal • Use rules of exponents to find the correct exponent for the 10 • 0.000087 = 8.7 x 10-5 , move the decimal 5 places to the right • 3456.87 = 3.45687x104, move the decimal 4 places to the left Dividing Polynomials • Do just like long division. Express remainder as a coefficient (or term) divided by the denominator Word Problems Mixture Problems • You have two things you need to put together to get a required result.

Speed Time Distance Bus 1 40 mph T 40 T Bus 2 35 mph T – 2 (2 hrs late) 35(T-2) Total 230 m (add since going opposite) • 40T + 35 (T + 2) = 230 sum of distances is 230 • T = 4hrs, or 1:45 PM Mixtures • How much candy worth 32 cents a pound must be mixed with candy costing 25 cents per pound to create 35 pounds of mixed candy selling at 30 cents per pound? • Let 32cent = A and 25cent = B • A + B = 35 lbs total or A = 35 - B • 32A+ 25B = 30(35lbs); cost of each sums to total cost • Have two equations Subst for A: 32 (35 –B) + 25B = 30(35) and solve • 25 lbs @ 32 cents per pound, 10 lbs @ 25 cents per pound Mixtures • A child’s piggy bank contains nickels, dimes and quarters.
