  2. 1.1 Linear Equations An equation is a statement about the equality of two expressions. Within each equation we have true and false values. The value which satisfies the equation gives a true value. For all other values, give false values. To solve an equation means to find all values of the variable that satisfy the equation. The values that satisfy an equation are called solutions or roots of the equation. Equivalent equations are equations that have exactly the same solution or solutions. Our goal is to have this Variable = Constant

  3. 1.1 Linear Equations A Linear Equation, or first-degree equation, in the single variable x is an equation that can be written in the form. where a and b are real numbers, with

  8. 1.1 Contradictions, Conditional Equations, and Identities There are 3 types of equations: An equation that has no solutions is called a contradiction. An equation that is true for some values of the variable but not true for other values of the variable is called a conditional equation. An identity is an equation that is true for all values of the variable for which all terms of the equation are defined.

  14. 1.1 Application Movie theatre ticket prices have been increasing steadily in recent years. An equation that models the average U.S. movie theater ticket prices p, in dollars is given by: where t is the number of years after 2003. (This means that t = 0 corresponds to 2003.) Use this equation to predict the year in which the average U.S. movie theater ticket prices will reach $7.50

  16. 1.2 Formulas A formula is an equation the expresses known relationships between two or more variables. Page 84 of your textbook has a listed of these formulas.

  19. 1.2 Formulas The NFL uses the following formula to rate quarterbacks. C is the percentage of pass completions, Y is the average number of yards gained per pass attempt, T is the percentage of touchdown passes, and I is the percentage of interceptions. During the 2008 season, Philip Rivers, the quarter back of the San Diego Chargers, completed 65.3% of his passes. He averaged 8.39 yards per pass attempt, 7.1% of his passes were for touchdowns, and 2.3% of his passes were intercepted. Determine Rivers’s quarterback rating for the 2008 season.

  20. 1.2 Applications Strategies for Solving Applications: • Read the problem carefully. • When appropriate, draw a sketch and label parts of the drawing with specific information given in the problem. • Determine the unknown quantities, and label them with variables. Write down any equation that relates the variables. • Use the information from Step 3, along with a known formula or some additional information given in the problem, to write an equation. • Solve the equation obtained in Step 4, and check to see whether the results satisfy all the conditions of the original problem.

  21. 1.2 Applications One of the best known paintings is the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. It is on display at the Musee du Louvre, in Paris. The length (or height) of this rectangular-shaped painting is 24 centimeters more than its width. The perimeter of the painting is 260 centimeters. Find the width and length of the painting.

  22. 1.2 Similar Triangles Similar triangles are one for which the measures of corresponding angles are equal. The triangles below are similar. Ratio Relationships e d a b c f

  23. 1.2 Similar Triangles A person 6 feet tall is in the shadow of a building 40 feet tall and is walking directly away from the building. When the person is 30 feet from the building, the tip of the person’s shadow is at the same point as the tip of the shadow of the building. How much farther must the person walk to be just out of the shadow of the building? Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.

  26. 1.2 Applications Simple interest formula: Where I is the interest, P is the principle, r is the simple interest rate per period, and t is the number of periods. An accountant invests part of a $6000 bonus in a 5% simple interest account and invests the remainder of the money at 8.5% simple interest. Together the investments earn $370 per year. Find the amount invested at each rate.

  47. 1.3 Pythagorean Theorem A television screen measures 60 inches diagonally, and its aspect ratio is 16 to 9. This means that the ratio of the width of the screen to the height of the screen is 16 to 0. Find the width and height of the screen.

  48. 1.3 Pythagorean Theorem A company makes regular solid candy bars that measure 5 inches by 2 inches by 0.5 inches. Due to difficult financial times, the company has decided to keep the price of the candy bar fixed and reduce the volume of the bar by 20%. What should the dimensions be for the new candy bar if the company keeps the height at 0.5 inch and makes the length of the candy bar 3 inches longer than the width?
