Mathematical Review Fractions & Decimals – A fraction represents division, the numerator is divided by the denominator. » 2/3 is read as 2 divided by 3 – Proper fraction: numerator is smaller than denominator. Example: 3/5 – Improper fraction: numerator is larger than the denominator. Example: 5/3 – A decimal is a fraction with the division carried out. – A decimal is a fraction expressed in powers of 10. – 0 . 0 0 1 – ones . Tenths hundredths thousandths Mathematical Review Algebraic Equations – Variables are the symbols used to represent a measurement. » For example; T is the variable for temperature while t is the variable for time. – To isolate one variable of an equation remember to divide if the unwanted variable is on top and to multiply if the variable is on the bottom. An asterisk * represents multiplication. » A = B / C » to isolate C first rearrange the equation to it will read C=? Do this by multiplying both sides by C (since it is on the bottom of a fraction (denominator). » C * A = B * C / C note: C/C = 1 » C * A = B » Now to isolate C we need to divide by A (it is on top of a fraction; A/1 = A) » C * A / A = B / A » Remember: what ever you do to one side you must do it to the other side. » C = B / A Mathematical Review Algebraic Equations – When multiplication & division is mixed with adding & subtracting, try the multiplication or division first. » (A - D) / (C + F) = B » to solve for C, first rearrange the equation to it will read C=? Do this by multiplying both sides by C + F (since it is on the bottom of a fraction (denominator). » (A - D) * (C + F) / (C + F) = B * (C + F) » (A - D) = B * (C + F) » Now to isolate C we need to divide by B » (A - D) / B = B * (C + F) / B » (A - D) / B = C + F » Now you can subtract F from both sides. » [(A - D) / B] - F = C + F - F » [(A - D) / B] - F = C » which is the same as C = [(A-D) / B] -F If A = 8, D = 2, B = 3, & F = 7 then C must = [(8-2) / 3] - 7 = -5 Mathematical Review Exponents – An exponent is a number written as a superscript. • X2 is X-squared or “X to the power of 2” – The base (X) is multiplied by itself the number of times represented in the exponent(superscript, 2 in this example). • 23 or two cubed (2 is the base and 3 is the exponent) • 23 is 2 * 2 * 2 = 4 * 2 = 8 – A positive exponent represents a large number (greater than one). • 1 x 103 is 10 *10 *10 = 1000 thousand – A negative exponent represents a small number (less than one). • 1 x 10-3 is (1/10) * (1/10) * (1/10) = 0.001 thousandths – When multiplying numbers written with exponents, add the exponents. If dividing then subtract the exponents. • x4 * x6 = x (4+6) = x10 or (2 x 103)(3 x 106) = 6 x 10(3+6) = 6 x 109 • 2x6/7x3 = 0.2857 x(6-3) = 0.2857 x3 Practice Questions 1. 2,533 The five is in the ____ place. a) thousands b) tens c) ten thousands 2. 2.533 The five is in the ___ place. a) tens Bb) tenths c) oneths 3.
