Agenda Thursday, Nov. 12 homework 4 p. 193 # 21 - 24, 34 - 40 and p. 198 # 13 - 23 Quiz tomorrow on Ch. 4.1 - 4.4  (see checkpoint quiz p. 199 for sample problems) 4.3 - prime factorization with variable expressions 4.4- simplifying fractions
 
 
Find the GCF of a variable expression. Find the prime factorization of the coefficient. Write the variables in expanded form.  Find common factors. Example 8xy 2 and  6x 3 y 2*2*2*x*y*y 2*3*x*x*x*y GCF = 2xy
 
Prime Factors of 4a 3 b Prime Factors of 6a 2 b 2 4a 3 b = 2*2*a*a*a*b 6a 2 b 2  = 2*3*a*a*b*b Find the prime factorization of each variable expression. Use the diagram below to show the prime factors.  Then use it to find the GCF.
Directions:  Use Venn diagrams to find the GCF of each set of numbers. 1)  4xy 2 , 2x 2 y  GCF =  2xy 2)  6a 2 b 2 , 4ab 3 GCF =  2ab 2 3)   10m 3 n, 15m 2 n 2 GCF = 5m 2 n
 
 
Find two fractions that are equivalent to  5 8 5 8
Write in simplest form: 6 8
To write algebraic fractions in simplest form, first write the prime factorization of the expression.  Then divide the numerator and denominator by the common factors. 9 x  3*3*x 3xy 3*x*y 4ab 2 2*2*a*b*b 16ac 2*2*2*2*a*c
