Summer Work Packet
Honors/AP/IB level math courses at Desert Mountain are for students who are enthusiastic learners of
mathematics and whose work ethic is of the highest standard. These students are expected to arrive
“ready to go” on the first day of school.
The attached packet is designed to help you review concepts with which you should already be familiar.
It is recommended that you complete some of the problems from the packet at the beginning of the
summer when the concepts are still fresh, and then complete the remainder of the problems near the
beginning of the school year. If you do not complete the problems in the packet, your grade will not be
affected directly, however, the material in the packet has been taught in your previous math classes and
will be assumed to be fully understood by you. I, the teacher, strongly advise you to work the problems
this summer.
The problems will be collected and reviewed after the first week of school once we have gone over any
questions you have. If you are new to the Scottsdale Unified School District and did not receive notice
of this assignment until registration, these review problems will be checked at the end of August.
Some suggestions for the presentation and completion of mathematics assignments at DMHS are listed below. If you
adhere the these guidelines with your summer work, you will be ready to meet the expectations of your mathematics
teacher during the school year.

Factoring Practice
I.
Factoring is the reverse of multiplying. To factor a polynomial, factor out the greatest common factor of each term.
Example: 6a2b 12ab2 = 6ab(a 2b)
—
—
Factor completely.
1.x2 - 3x
3. 8x6 32x5 + 16x4
2. 6y3 - 12y2 + 3y
—
II.A binomial is a difference of two squares if both terms of the binomial are squares and there is a minus sign between the two
terms. The difference of two squares, A2 B2, factors as two binomials (A B)(A + B).
—
—
2
2
-25 + 81a2 yes (think commutative property)
Which of the following are differences of squares? 4x 8y no!
—
Factor completely. (This might take more than one step, look for common factors first!)
1. 9x2—4
2. 4x2—25
3. 2x2—50
4. x4 —81
5. 16x4—1
III.
A trinomial square has three terms and is the square of a binomial.
A2+ 2AB + B2 = (A+B)2
and
A2 - 2AB + B2 = (A-B)2
Which of the following are trinomial squares?
y2 + 3y + 9 no!
Factor completely.
1. x2 + 6x + 9
49a2 –56a + 16 yes, but why?
c 2- 12c + 36 yes!
2. x2 - 14x + 49
3. 9x2 - 30x + 25
4x2 – 4x – 1 no, this is a tricky one
4. 25y2 - 20y + 4
5. 18x2 + 12x + 2
IV. To factor a trinomial of the type x + bx + c, think of FOIL in reverse. Which of the following is the correct
2
factorization of x2 - x - 12?
a) (x + 3)(x + 4)
b) (x - 12)(x + 1)
c) (x - 4)(x + 3)
Only c) is
correct.
Factor completely.
1. x2 - 8x + 15
2. x2 + 4x -12
3.
y2 + 9y + 20
4. b2 - 3b – 18
5. p2 – 7p – 8
V. To factor a trinomial of the type ax + bx + c, first check for common factors. Then test factors of the first and
2
last terms to find the correct combination, using FOIL to test possible factorizations.
Factor completely.
1. 2x2 - 7x - 4
2. 6y2 - 5y + 1
3. 4m2 + 19m - 30
4. 6a2 - 28a - 48
VI. A polynomial with four terms can sometimes be factored by grouping and using the distributive property
twice. For example, a3 + 2a2 + 3a + 6 = (a3 + 2a2) + (3a + 6)
= a2 (a + 2) + 3(a + 2)
1
= (a + 2)(a2 + 3)
Factor completely.
1. x3 + x2 + 3x + 3
2. x4 + 4x3 - 2x – 8
3. 6x3 + 4x2 + 3x + 2
4. 9a3 - 15a2 - 12a + 20
Factoring: A General Strategy
1. Always look first for a common factor.
2. Then look at the number of terms.
Two terms: Determine whether you have a difference of two squares
Three terms: Determine whether the trinomial is the square of a binomial (a trinomial square, section III.)
Four terms: Try factoring by grouping
3. Always factor completely. This might take several steps.
EXAMPLES
10x3 – 40x Look for a common factor.
10x(x2 – 4) Factor the difference of two squares.
10x(x – 2)(x + 2) Is is factored completely? Yes.
t4 – 16 Factor the difference of two squares.
(t2 + 4)(t2 – 4) Factor the difference of two squares, again.
(t2 + 4)(t + 2)(t – 2)
x4 – 10x2 +25 This is a trinomial square!
(x2 – 5)2 It factors into a squared binomial.
3y2 – 3y – 6 Look for a common factor.
3(y2 - y - 2) No special model, think FOIL.
3(y - 2)(y + 1)

Solving Systems of Equations
There are several methods for solving a system of equations; graphing, substitution, and a third way that comes with
different names. For the sake of this packet, it will be called the ‘addition’ method. This method is especially helpful
when both equations are written in standard form, Ax + By = C.
EXAMPLE 1 Solve using the addition method.
x+y=5
x–y=1
Add the two equations together to eliminate one variable.
+
x+y=5
x- y=1
2x = 6
x=3
EXAMPLE 3 Solve using the addition method.
3x + 6y = -6
5x – 2y = 14
Multiply the second equation by 3 so that y will be
eliminated when the two equations are added together.
3x + 6y = -6
3(5x - 2y) = 3(14)
3x + 6y = -6
+ 15x - 6y = 42
18x
= 36
x=2
Substitute 2 for x in either of the original equations to find y.
Substitute 3 for x in either of the original equations to find y.
3x + 6y = - 6
x+y=5
3+y=5
3 -3 + y = 5 -3
3(2) + 6y = - 6
6 + 6y = -6
6 – 6 + 6y = -6 - 6
The solution of the system is the point of intersection of the
two lines, (3,2).
6y = - 12
y = -2
The solution of the system is the point (2,—2).
EXAMPLE 2 Solve using the addition method.
CHECK YOUR SOLUTION
3x+2y=8
3x + y =7
Subtract the equations to eliminate one variable/
3x + 2y = 8
-(3x + y = 7)
3x + 2y = 8
-3x – y = -7
y=1
The solution must satisfy both equations.
Check the solution for EXAMPLE 3 above.
Replace x with 2, and y with -2 in both equations.
3x + 6y = -6
3(2) + 6(-2) = -6
6 + (-12) = -6
-6 = -6
Substitute 1 for y in either of the original equations to find x.
3x + 2y = 8
3x + 2(l) = 8
3x + 2 = 8
3x +2 – 2 = 8 - 2
3x = 6
x=2
The solution of the system is the point of intersection, (2,1).
5x - 2y = 14
5(2) - 2(-2) = 14
10+4= 14
14 = 14

II.
In a radical expression, the expression written under the radical symbol is called the radicand. Expressions
with negative radicands have no meaning in the real number system. An example that shows how to simplify an
expression would be: 121y 6  (11y3 )(11y 3 ) *The square root of a number is one of the two equal factors whose product
= 11y 3
is that number.
