Lesson 8.8- Factor difference of squares
a^2- b^2= (a+b)(a-b)
Or
(a-b)(a+b)
Ex. Factor 2x^4-32
Binomial
Two terms in an expression
Trinomial
Three terms in an expression
Monomial
One term in an expression
Quadratic equation
Find the solutions to a problem:
X^2-36x+26=0
Formula: -B+or- the square root of {b^2-4(a)(c)} Over 2(a)
Scientific formula
42,000,000=
42x10^6
Absolute value
Distance a number is from zero on a number line
Additive identity
For any number a, a + 0 =0 + a= a
Algebraic expression
An expression consisting of one or more numbers and variables along with one or more operations
Power property of equality
If you square both sides of a true equation, the resulting equation is true
If a=b, then a^2=b^2
If (square root of X)= 4, then (square root of X)^2=4^2
Thus, X=16
