@perl

OpenStudy (perl):

so we are studying algebra 1

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

yep :)

OpenStudy (perl):

what topics are going to be covered on the test

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

All of that... :/

OpenStudy (perl):

Alright I will start picking problems page 7 , problem 34 Find the distance traveled using d = rt

OpenStudy (perl):

http://prntscr.com/76ebav

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

ok so the rate is 75 miles d=75 x t is that right so far?

OpenStudy (perl):

yep :)

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

hours would be time so 2 d=75 x 2 ?

OpenStudy (perl):

yes

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

so 150 is my final answer ? :)

OpenStudy (perl):

right, and what are the units

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

miles 150miles

OpenStudy (perl):

perfect :)

OpenStudy (perl):

now lets do a little algebra. Expand the following expression $$ \Large (a+b)^2 $$

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

(a+b)(a+b)

OpenStudy (perl):

now distribute

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

a^2+ab+ba+b^2

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

i think i did that wrong :/

OpenStudy (perl):

thats correct so far

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

Yay! so would that be the final answer?

OpenStudy (perl):

we can simplify further

OpenStudy (perl):

what do you notice about `ab` and `ba`

OpenStudy (perl):

hint, 2*3 = 3*2

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

They are like terms but how would you add those ? :/

OpenStudy (perl):

yes

OpenStudy (perl):

whoa lag city

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

xD perl its impossible to add those T_T

OpenStudy (perl):

a^2+ab+ba+b^2 = a^2+ab+ab+b^2 (because ba= ab)

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

so 2a+2b?

OpenStudy (perl):

almost

OpenStudy (perl):

what is ab + ab , think of it like blob + blob = how many blobs?

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

2 blobs!

OpenStudy (perl):

right :)

OpenStudy (perl):

a^2+ab+ba+b^2 = a^2+ab+ab+b^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

Got it :)

OpenStudy (perl):

'like terms' are basically 'like blobs'

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

xD thats a great way to remeber it! :)

OpenStudy (perl):

Expand and simplify the following product $$\Large (a-b)(a+b) $$

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

ah! i hate these TT_TT ok...it would be \[a^2+ab-ba-b\]

OpenStudy (perl):

almost , you need a square on the last b*b

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

a^2+ab-ba-b^2 a^2-b^2 <---final answer

OpenStudy (perl):

there you go

OpenStudy (perl):

http://prntscr.com/76ejnf

OpenStudy (perl):

this is an order of operations question

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

B would be correct

OpenStudy (perl):

correct :)

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

:)

OpenStudy (perl):

evaluate $$\Large (7h)^3$$ when h = 2

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

2744

OpenStudy (perl):

great

OpenStudy (perl):

looks like you are good with unit 1

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

yay! 11 more units T_T

OpenStudy (perl):

actually theres some word problems

OpenStudy (perl):

i just noticed :o

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

O_O

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

lets just skip those ;)

OpenStudy (perl):

ok

OpenStudy (perl):

sorry i didnt mean to scare you, word problems are fun, after you solve a few of them and build confidence

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

ok we can do those :) its better to be safe than sorry :P lets so word problems

OpenStudy (perl):

http://prntscr.com/76endp

OpenStudy (perl):

the order is important,

OpenStudy (perl):

for number 2. the order is important for number 3 the order doesnt matter

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

3) 8/n 4) 2x?

OpenStudy (perl):

pretty much correct, except the directions said to use x for both

OpenStudy (perl):

but you have the right form

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

>_< my bad would it be wrong on a test?

OpenStudy (perl):

hmm, i don't they would take off too many points

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

ok :)

OpenStudy (perl):

http://prntscr.com/76epp6

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

\[.10\times~x=5.00\]

OpenStudy (perl):

how many pages is your test going to be on

OpenStudy (perl):

how many pages of the book

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

im not sure i think it includes a little bit of everything on the book

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

its 150 questions...

OpenStudy (perl):

ok, looks good so far

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

so now i divide right?

OpenStudy (perl):

right

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

0.02

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

right? :/

OpenStudy (perl):

try that again

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

50?

OpenStudy (perl):

yes :)

OpenStudy (perl):

do you see why

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

yes i divided the other way :/ i see why now :)

OpenStudy (perl):

http://prntscr.com/76esqu

OpenStudy (perl):

this will be last question from unit 1

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

O_O perl i forgot how to do that >_<

OpenStudy (perl):

ok first lets see how to read this. when you see an equation h = some expression in t , or y = some expression in x , you have whats known as a function. h depends on values you pick for t y depends on values you pick for x

OpenStudy (perl):

|dw:1431903821015:dw|

OpenStudy (perl):

the first column , the t column, that is whats known as the domain. the h column is whats known as the range

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

so bascially im subbing in the given numbers in place of t?

OpenStudy (perl):

right :)
