Precalculus Summer Assignment 2017 The purpose of precalculus is to prepare students for calculus, regardless of whether they go on to take it. In preparing for college level math, students must solidify and expand their understanding of previously learned math topics. This summer assignment reviews topics from algebra and geometry that are necessary to be successful in precalculus. Although this assignment will not be collected and graded, you will be given a summative assessment on this material during the second day of class. Remember that you must pass math your senior year to graduate, so if you are a senior and find yourself struggling to complete this assignment, please contact your counselor and switch courses prior to August 1st. This assignment and the solutions will be located on the school website under the student tab: summer assignments. If you have trouble accessing the assignment contact student services. It is also highly recommended that you use google and youtube to search for the topic you need assistance in. Here are two sites that offer help. http://www.purplemath.com/modules/index.htm http://khanacademy.org A. FOIL ‐ multiply binomials first ‐ outside ‐ inside ‐ last (x + 2)(x ‐ 1) = (4x2 ‐ 3)(2x + 7) = (3x + y)(m ‐ 5y) = (3 ‐ m)(m + m2) = (x ‐ 4)(x + 3) = (6 ‐ m3)(2 + m) = (x + y)(x ‐ y) = (5 ‐ x)(3 ‐ x) = B. Factoring ‐ ax2 + bx + c when a = 1 find two numbers that multiply to make "c" and add to make "b" x2 + 14x + 48 = ( )( ) p2 + 14p +40 = when a ≠ 1 2x2 + 12x ‐ 14 = 2 3b ‐ 3b ‐ 36 = b2 ‐ 8b + 15 = ( )( ) b2 ‐ 9b + 14 = 4x2 + 8x + 3 = 5a2 ‐ 23a + 12 = Precalculus Summer Assignment 2017 C. Fractions ‐ Adding/Subtracting (get a common denominator) D. Fractions ‐ Multiplying/Dividing Precalculus Summer Assignment 2017 E. Quadratic Formula (solve a quadratic to find the zeros) x2 ‐ 5x + 4 = 0 x2 + 6x = ‐9 2x2 ‐ x ‐ 6 = 0 x2 ‐ 2x ‐ 24 = 0 x2 ‐ 10 = ‐3x ‐ x + 4 = 2x2 F. Solve each equation for the given variable 2x + 1 = 5x ‐ 2 x2 + 4 = 29 2x2 ‐ 98 = 0 7m + 2 = 37 32w + ½ = 16.5 ‐ x + 4 = 22 + x G. Write an equation of a line according to the given information containing (‐1, ‐4) and parallel to y = 3x + 2 containing (2, ‐4) and parallel to x ‐ 2y = 5 containing (‐2, 3) and parallel to x = 1 containing (4, 15) and parallel to ‐x + 2/3 y = 6 containing (2, 3) and perpendicular to y = 2x ‐ 1 containing (1, ‐3) and perpendicular to y = ‐ 3 containing (3, 4) and perpendicular to 2x ‐ 3y = ‐6 containing (4, 1) and perpendicular to ½x + y = 3 Precalculus Summer Assignment 2017 H. Use the exponent rules to simplify each expression. All answers should be written with positive exponents. (m3)4 = (m3)(m4) = (5a2)(3a3) = (‐s3t)(‐5t4) = (3a2b4c)(7a3b3) = a0 = (3c6)2 = (5c6)2(2c) = (‐7cd2)(3c‐2) = (m3n2)(4m2n‐2) = (‐2cd2)2(3c2)3 = m‐1 = I. Find each sum or difference. Express all answers in standard form. (x2 + 3x + 2) + (3x2 + x ‐ 6) = (x2 + 3x + 2) ‐ (3x2 + x ‐ 6) = (3a4 ‐ 2a2 ‐ 1) + (2a3 + 2a2 ‐ 10) = (3a4 ‐ 2a2 ‐ 1) ‐ (2a3 + 2a2 ‐ 10) = (‐ 2a2 ‐ 1) + 2(3b2 ‐ 5) = (3x + 4xy ‐ 7y) + (‐x ‐2xy + 4y) = (‐5x2 ‐ 2x + 1) ‐ (3x2 + 4x ‐ 2) ‐ (‐8x2 ‐ 5x ‐ 3) = Precalculus Summer Assignment 2017 Appendix A.2 Polynomials and Factoring A polynomial is any expressions that can be written: anxn + an1 xn1 + ... + a1x + a0 (where n is a nonnegative integer and an ≠ 0) Standard Form: exponents are in descending order Degree: highest exponent (all exponents must be +) 2 (5x-7)+(2x +10x) = 2 2x + 15x - 7 Addition: combine like terms Subtraction: change to addition and combine like terms Multiply Binomials: FOIL (10m-3) - (-4m - 2) = 14m - 1 3 2 2 5 3 4 2 (x -x )(x + 2) = x +2x - x - 2x Completely Factored:written as a product of its primes Steps for Factoring ﴾GroupingMethod﴿ 1.) First, write the equation in Standard Form! 2 y = ax + bx + c 2.) Next, label a, b, and c. 3.) Multiply a*c 4.) List the factors of a*c 5.) Replace the "b" term with the factor pair of a*c that adds to get "b". 6.) Group the first two terms together, and the second two terms together 7.) Pull out the GCF 8.) Write the two binomial answers.
