Algebra Study Guide

1. Topic Overview

 Main Topics Covered:

o Variables and Expressions

o Linear Equations and Inequalities

o Functions and Graphs

o Polynomials

o Factoring

o Quadratic Equations

2. Key Terms and Definitions

 Variable: __________________ | Definition: __________________

 Coefficient: __________________ | Definition: __________________

 Equation: __________________ | Definition: __________________

 Function: __________________ | Definition: __________________

3. Important Formulas

 Slope Formula: m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

 Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

 Quadratic Formula: x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)] / 2a

 Factoring Difference of Squares: a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

4. Problem-Solving Techniques

 Solving Linear Equations:

1. Simplify both sides

2. Move variables to one side

3. Solve for the variable

 Factoring Trinomials:

1. Identify a, b, and c in ax² + bx + c


2. Find two numbers that multiply to ac and add to b

3. Rewrite and factor by grouping

5. Graphing Tips

 Identify the slope and y-intercept

 Plot the y-intercept first

 Use the slope to find additional points

 Draw a straight line through the points

6. Practice Problems

1. Solve: 2x + 5 = 17

2. Factor: x² + 5x + 6

3. Graph: y = -2x + 3

4. Solve using the quadratic formula: x² - 4x - 5 = 0
