ALGEBRA & EQUATIONS• THE USE OF BASIC ALGEBRA REQUIRES ONLY A FEW
FUNDAMENTAL RULES WHICH ARE USED OVER AND OVER TO REARRANGE AND SOLVE EQUATIONS.
• (1) ANY NUMBER DIVIDED BY ITSELF IS EQUAL TO ONE.
• (2) WHAT IS EVER DONE TO ONE SIDE OF AN EQUATION MUST BE DONE EQUALLY TO THE OTHER SIDE.
• (3) ADDITIONS OR SUBTRACTIONS WHICH ARE ENCLOSED IN PARENTHESES ARE GENERALLY CARRIED OUT FIRST.
• (4) WHEN VALUES IN PARENTHESES ARE MULTIPLIED OR DIVIDED BY A COMMON TERM EACH CAN BE MULTIPLIED OR DIVIDED SEPARATELY BEFORE ADDING OR SUBTRACTING THE GROUPED TERMS.
ALGEBRA & EQUATIONS
IF WE ADD 10 TO THE LEFT SIDE WE MUST
ADD 10 TO THE RIGHT
IF WE MULTIPLY THE LEFTSIDE BY 5 WE MUST
MULTIPLY THE RIGHT BY 5
RULE 1 – A VALUE DIVIDED BY ITSELF EQUALS 1
RULE 2 – OPERATE ON BOTH SIDES EQUALLY
ALGEBRA & EQUATIONS
RULE 3 – OPERATION IN PARENTHESES ARE DONE FIRST
THE PARENTHESES TERMS (5 + 5) ARE
ADDED FIRST
THE PARENTHESESTERMS (22 – 7) ARE
SUBTRACTED FIRST
ALGEBRA & EQUATIONSRULE 4 – VALUES CAN BE DISTRIBUTED
THROUGH TERMS IN PARENTHESES
EACH TERM IN THEPARENTHESES MUSTBE MULTIPLIED BY 4
ALL TERMS MUST BEMULTIPLIED BY
EACHOTHER THEN ADDED
ALGEBRA & EQUATIONS
RULE 5 – WHEN A NUMERATOR TERM ISDIVIDED BY A DENOMINATOR TERM, THE
DENOMINATOR IS INVERTED AND MULTIPLIEDBY THE NUMERATOR TERM.

SOLVING ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS
• SOLVING AN ALGEBRAIC EQUATION REQUIRES THAT THE UNKNOWN VARIABLE BE ISOLATED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE EQUAL SIGN IN THE NUMERATOR POSITION AND ALL OTHER TERMS BE PLACED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE EQUAL SIGN.
• THIS MOVEMENT OF TERMS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND FROM NUMERATOR TO DENOMINATION AND BACK, IS ACCOMPLISHED USING THE BASIC RULES OF ALGEBRA WHICH WERE PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED.
• THESE RULES CAN BE IMPLEMENTED PRACTICALLY USING SIMPLIFIED PROCEDURES (KEEP IN MIND THE REASON THAT THESE PROCEDURES WORK IS BECAUSE OF THE ALGEBRAIC RULES).
SOLVING ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS
PROCEDURE 1 – WHEN A TERM WITH A PLUS OR MINUS SIGN IS MOVED FROM ONE SIDE OF THE EQUATION
TO THE OTHER, THE SIGN IS CHANGED.
SOLVING ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS PROCEDURE 2 – WHEN A TERM IS MOVED FROM
THE DENOMINATOR ACROSS AN EQUAL SIGN TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE EQUATION IT IS PLACED IN THE
NUMERATOR. LIKEWISE, WHEN A TERM IS MOVED FROM NUMERATOR ON ONE SIDE IT IS PLACED IN THE
DENOMINATOR ON THE OTHER SIDE.

Solutions to algebraic equations can be checked by inserting simple number values. Avoid using 1 since it
is a special case value.
Let a =4, b=6,c = 2, e = 3
and g =5
The value of fmust be 10
The value of f with the solvedequation is 10 !
The solution to the quadratic gives the valuesof X when the value of Y is zero.
(the roots of the equation)
QuadraticEquations Have TwoAnswers
Calculations often require the use of the quadratic equation.It is used to solve equations containing a squared, a first power
and a zero power (constant) term all in the same equation.
USING THE QUADRATIC EQUATION
• Here is an example using the quadratic equation. In this equation 4x2 is the squared term, 0.0048X is the first power term and zero power term is –3.2 x 10-4 (a constant)
• 4X2 +0.0048X – 3.2 x 10-4 = 0 this equation cannot be solved easily by inspection and requires the quadratic formula:
• Using the form aX2 + bX + c = 0 the formula is:• ( - b + b2 – 4ac )/ 2a• In the given equation: a = 4, b = 0.0048 and c = – 3.2 x 10-4
• (-0.0048 + (0.0048)2 – 4(4)(– 3.2 x 10-4 )) / 2(4) = 0.0083 -0.0095• Note: every quadratic has two answers.
GRAPHS AND EQUATIONS
• GRAPHS CAN BE CONSIDERED AS A PICTURE OF AN EQUATION SHOWING AN ARRAY OF X AND Y VALUES WHICH WERE CALCULATED FROM THE EQUATION.\
• WE WILL LOOK AT TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF GRAPHS, LINEAR (STRAIGHT LINE) AND CURVED.
• LINEAR GRAPHS ARE DESCRIBED BY THE GENERAL EQUATION: Y = mX + b
• CURVED GRAPHS ARE DESCRIBED BY THE GENERAL EQUATION: Y = Kx n
• ALTHOUGH GRAPHS CAN BE REPRESENTED BY MANY OTHER EQUATIONS, WE WILL LOOK AT ONLY THESE TWO BASIC RELATIONSHIPS IN DETAIL

MATHEMATICAL SLOPES & AREAS• IF THE EQUATION FOR A GRAPH IS KNOWN THE
SLOPE OF THAT GRAPH LINE CAN BE FOUND MATHEMATICALLY USING A PROCESS CALLED A DERIVATIVE.
• IF THE EQUATION FOR A GRAPH IS KNOWN THE AREA UNDER THE CURVE CAN BE FOUND USING A PROCESS CALLED INTEGRATION.
• IF THE EQUATION DESCRIBING THE SLOPE OF A GRAPH IS KNOWN THE EQUATION FOR THE GRAPH CAN BE FOUND USING INTEGRATION.
• THE NEXT FRAMES WILL SHOW ELEMENTARY DERIVATIVES AND INTEGRALS WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY FORMAL MATHEMATICAL PROOF. IF PROOF IS DESIRED SEE A CALCULUS TEXT!
FINDING DERIVATIVES OF SIMPLEEXPONENTIAL EQUATIONS
THE DERIVATIVE OF A EQUATION GIVES ANOTHEREQUATION WHICH ALLOWS THE SLOPE OF THE ORIGINAL EQUATION TO FOUND AT ANY POINT.

APPLYING THE DERIVATIVE FORMULA
GIVEN THEEQUATION
FORMAT TO FIND THE
DERIVATIVE
Using the derivative equation we can find the slope of the y = 5 x3
equation at any x point. For example, the slope at x = 2 is Slope = 15 x 22 = 60. At x = 5, slope = 15 x 52 = 375.
DerivativesCan be used
To find:Velocity,
Acceleration,AngularVelocity,Angular
Acceleration,Etc.
APPLYING THE DERIVATIVE FORMULA
The derivatives of equations having more than one term canbe found by finding the derivative of each term in succession.
Recall that the term 3t is actually 3t1 and the term 6 is 6t0.
Also, any term to the zero power equals one
INTEGRATION – THE ANTIDERIVATIVEINTEGRATION IS THE REVERSE PROCESS OF
FINDING THE DERIVATIVE. IT CAN ALSO BE USEDTO FIND THE AREA UNDER A CURVE.

FORMAT TO FIND THE INTEGRAL
Integration can be used to find area under a curve betweentwo points. Also, if the original equation is a derivate, then
the equation from which the derivate came can be determined.
APPLYING THE INTEGRAL FORMULAFind the area between x = 2 and x = 5 for the equation y = 5X3.First find the integral of the equation as shown on the previous
frame. The integral was found to be 5/4 X4 + C.
The values 5 and 2 arecalled the limits.
each of the limits isplaced in the integratedequation and the resultsof each calculation aresubtracted (lower limit
from upper limit)
MEASURING DIRECTION & POSITION
• RECTANGULAR COORDINATES USE X,Y POINTS TO INDICATE DISPLACEMENTS AND DIRECTIONS.
• POLAR COORDINATES USE MAGNITUDES (LENGTHS) AND ANGULAR DIRECTION. THE ANGULAR DIRECTION MAY BE EXPRESSED IN DEGREES OR RADIANS.
• DIRECTIONS CAN ALSO BE INDICATED IN GEOGRAPHIC TERMS SUCH AS NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST.
• OFTEN, GEOGRAPHIC MEASURES AND ANGULAR MEASURES ARE COMBINED TO INDICATE DIRECTION.

TRIGNOMETRY• TRIGNOMETRIC RELATIONSHIPS ARE BASES ON
THE RIGHT TRIANGLE (A TRIANGLE CONTAINING A 900 ANGLE). THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPT IS THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM (A2 + B2 = C2) WHERE A AND B ARE THE SHORTER SIDES (THE LEGS) OF THE TRIANGLE AND C IS THE LONGEST SIDE CALLED THE HYPOTENUSE.
• RATIOS OF THE SIDES OF THE RIGHT TRIANGLE ARE GIVEN NAMES SUCH AS SINE, COSINE AND TANGENT. DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE BETWEEN A LEG (ONE OF THE SHORTER SIDES) AND THE HYPOTENUSE (THE LONGEST SIDE), THE RATIO OF SIDES FOR A PARTICULAR ANGLE ALWAYS HAS THE SAME VALUE NO MATTER WHAT SIZE THE TRIANGLE.

TRIG FUNCTIONS• THE RATIO OF THE SIDE OPPOSITE THE ANGLE AND
THE HYPOTENUSE IS CALLED THE SINE OF THE ANGLE. THE SINE OF 30 0 FOR EXAMPLE IS ALWAYS ½ NO MATTER HOW LARGE OR SMALL THE TRIANGLE. THIS MEANS THAT THE OPPOSITE SIDE IS ALWAYS HALF AS LONG AS THE HYPOTENUSE IF THE ANGLE IS 30 0. (30 0 COORESPONSES TO 1/12 OF A CIRCLE OR ONE SLICE OF A 12 SLICE PIZZA!)
• THE RATIO OF THE SIDE ADJACENT TO THE ANGLE AND THE HYPOTENUSE IS CALLED THE COSINE. THE COSINE OF 60 0 IS ALWAYS ½ WHICH MEANS THIS TIME THE ADJACENT SIDE IS HALF AS LONG AS THE HYPOTENUSE. (60 0 REPRESENTS 1/6 OF A COMPLETE CIRCLE, ONE SLICE OF A 6 SLICE PIZZA)
• THE RATIO OF THE SIDE ADJACENT TO THE ANGLE AND THE SIDE OPPOSITE THE ANGLE IS CALLED THE TANGENT. IF THE ADJACENT AND THE OPPOSITE SIDES ARE EQUAL, THE RATIO (TANGENT VALUE) IS 1.0 AND THE ANGLE IS 45 0 ( 45 0 IS 1/8 OF A FULL CIRCLE)

Trig functions• Right triangles may be drawn in any one of four quadrants. • Quadrant I encompasses from 0 to 90 degrees (1/4 of a circle). It
lies between the +x axis and the + y axis (between due east and due north).
• Quadrant II is the area between 90 and 180 degrees ( the next ¼ circle in the counterclockwise direction). It lies between the +y and the –x axis (between due north and due west).
• Quadrant III is the area between 180 and 270 degrees (the next ¼ circle in the counterclockwise direction). It lies between the –x and the –y axis (between due west and due south).
• Quadrant IV encompasses from 270 to 360 degrees ( the final ¼ circle). It lies between the –y and the +x axis (between due south and due east).
• The signs of the trig functions change depending upon in which quadrant the triangle is drawn.

In science, we often encounter very large and very small numbers. Using scientific numbers makes
working with these numbers easier
Scientific numbers use powers of 10
RULE 1As the decimal is moved to the left
The power of 10 increases onevalue for each decimal place moved
Any number to theZero power = 1
RULE 2As the decimal is moved to the right
The power of 10 decreases onevalue for each decimal place moved
Any number to theZero power = 1
RULE 3When scientific numbers are multiplied
The powers of 10 are added
RULE 4When scientific numbers are divided
The powers of 10 are subtracted
RULE 5When scientific numbers are raised to powers
The powers of 10 are multiplied
RULE 6Roots of scientific numbers are treated as fractional
powers. The powers of 10 are multiplied
RULE 7When scientific numbers are added or subtracted The powers of 10 must be the same for each term.
Powers of 10 areDifferent. ValuesCannot be added !
Power are now theSame and values
Can be added.
Move the decimalAnd change the power
Of 10
LOGARITHMS• A LOGARITHM (LOG) IS A POWER OF 10. IF A NUMBER IS
WRITTEN AS 10X THEN ITS LOG IS X.• FOR EXAMPLE 100 COULD BE WRITTEN AS 102
THEREFORE THE LOG OF 100 IS 2.• IN CHEMISTRY CALCULATIONS OFTEN SMALL NUMBERS
ARE USED LIKE .0001 OR 10-4. THE LOG OF .0001 IS THEREFORE –4.
• FOR NUMBERS THAT ARE NOT NICE EVEN POWERS OF 10 A CALCULATOR IS USED TO FIND THE LOG VALUE. FOR EXAMPLE THE LOG OF .00345 IS –2.46 AS DETERMINED BY THE CALCULATOR.
• LOGARITHMS DO NOT ALWAYS USE POWERS OF 10. ANOTHER COMMON NUMBER USED INSTEAD OF 10 IS 2.71 WHICH IS CALLED BASE e. WHEN THE LOGARITHM IS THE POWER OF e IT IS CALLED A NATURAL LOG AND THE SYMBOL USED IN Ln RATHER THAN LOG.
LOGARITHMS
• SINCE LOGS ARE POWERS OF 10 THEY ARE USED JUST LIKE THE POWERS OF 10 ASSOCIATED WITH SCIENTIFIC NUMBERS.
• WHEN LOG VALUES ARE ADDED, THE NUMBERS THEY REPRESENT ARE MULTIPLIED.
• WHEN LOG VALUES ARE SUBTRACTED, THE NUMBERS THEY REPRESENT ARE DIVIDED
• WHEN LOGS ARE MULTIPLIED, THE NUMBERS THEY REPRESENT ARE RAISED TO POWERS
• WHEN LOGS ARE DIVIDED, THE ROOTS OF NUMBERS THEY REPRESENT ARE TAKEN.
