The Slope of a Line :
âĸ We define run to be the distance we move to the right and rise to be the
corresponding distance that the line rises (or falls).

1.1 Sets and Notation
âĸ Set : a collection of well defined members or elements.
âĸ A subset: is a sub-collection of a set.
âĸ Example :
âĸ A = {x â Z : đĨ 2
1,0,1,2,3}
The sets
⤠9} ,
B={x â Z : đĨ ⤠3} ,
C={-3,-2,-
Solution:
âĸ The first set is the set of all integers whose square lies between
1 and 9 inclusive, which is precisely the second set, which again
is the third set.

Prof H
âĸ The union of two sets A and B, is the set
đ´ âĒ đĩ = {đĨ: đĨ â đ´ đđ (đĨ â đĩ)}
This is read âA union B.â
âĸ The intersection of two sets A and B, is
đ´ ⊠đĩ = {đĨ: đĨ â đ´ đđđ (đĨ â đĩ)}
This is read âA intersection B.â
âĸ The difference of two sets A and B, is
đ´ /đĩ = {đĨ: đĨ â đ´ đđđ (đĨ â đĩ)}
This is read âA set minus B.â

Example :
Graphing Intervals
Express each interval in terms of inequalities, and then graph the
interval .
(a) â1, 2 = đĨ â 1 ⤠đĨ ⤠2 }
(b)[1.5, 4]= đĨ 1.5 ⤠đĨ ⤠4 }
(C) â3 , â = đĨ â 3 < đĨ}

đ, đ ⊠[đ, đ]
âĸ The intersection of two intervals consists of the numbers that are in both intervals. Therefore
đ, đ ⊠đ, đ = đĨ 1 < đĨ < 3 đđđ 2 đĨ ⤠7}

Absolute Value
âĸ The absolute value of a number a, denoted by đ , is the
distance from a to 0 on the real number line.
âĸ Distance is always positive or zero, so we have đ âĨ 0
âĸ Definition of Absolute value
If a is a real number , then the absolute value of a is
đ đđ đ âĨ 0
đ =
âđ đđ đ < 0
Example: Evaluating Absolute Values of Numbers
3 =3
â3 = â â3
=3

Distance between points
âĸ If a and b are real numbers, then the distance between the points a
and b on the real line is
đ đ, đ = đ â đ
đâđ = đâđ
âĸ Note that
âĸ Example :
Distance Between Points
The distance between the numbers 8 and 2 is
đ đ, đ = â8 â 2 = â10 = 10

Integer Exponents
âĸ A product of identical numbers is usually written in exponential notation.
âĸ Exponential notation
If a is any real number and n is a positive integer , then the đđđĄ power of a is
đđ = đ. đ. âĻ . đ
The number đ is called the base , and đ is called the exponent

Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
âĸ We add and subtract polynomials using the properties of real
numbers .
âĸ The idea is to combine like terms ,using the Distributive Property.
âĸ For instance,
5đĨ 7 + 3đĨ 7 = 5 + 3 đĨ 7 = 8đĨ 7
âĸ Example:
Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
a)Find the sum (đđ â đđđ + đđ + đ)+(đđ + đđđ â đđ)
= đđ + đđ + â6đđ + 5đđ + đđ â đđ + 4
= 2đđ â đđ â 5đ + 4
b) Find the difference (đđ â đđđ + đđ + đ) â(đđ + đđđ â đđ)
= đđ â đđđ + đđ + đ â đđ â đđđ + đđ
= đđ â đđ â đđđ â đđđ + đđ + đđ + 4
đ + 9đ + 4
=

Multiplying Polynomials
âĸ To find the product of polynomials or other algebraic expressions, we
need to use the Distributive Property repeatedly.
đ + đ đ + đ = đđ + đđ + đđ + đđ
Example:
Find the product
(đđđ + đ)(đđ â đđ + đ)
đđđ + đ đđ â đđ + đ = 2đĨ đđ â 5đĨ + 4 + 3 đđ â 5đĨ + 4
= 2đĨ. đđ â 2đĨ. 5đĨ + 2đĨ. 4 + 3. đđ â 3.5đĨ + 4
= 2đĨ 3 â 10đđ + 8đĨ + 3đĨ 2 â 15đĨ + 12
= 2đĨ 3 â 7đđ â 7đĨ + 12

Factorization
âĸ We use the Distributive Property to expand algebraic
expressions. We sometimes need to reverse this process by
factoring an expression as a product of simpler ones.
âĸ We say that đĨ â 2 and đĨ + 2 are factors of đĨ 2 â 4

Factoring Trinomials
âĸ To factor a trinomial of the form đĨ 2 + đđĨ + đ , we note that
đĨ + đ đĨ + đ = đĨ 2 + đ + đ đĨ + đđ
âĸ so we need to choose numbers r and s so that r + s=b and rs = c.
Example :
Factor
6đĨ 2 + 7đĨ â 5
6đĨ 2 + 7đĨ â 5 = (3đĨ + 5)(2đĨ â 1)
Factor
đĨ 2 â 2đĨ â 3
đĨ 2 â 2đĨ â 3Faculty
= (đĨ
â 3)(đĨ + 1)
