|A mathematical statement that can be either true or false depending on what values (replacements) are used is called an _______________________ |

Definition

| |

|The _______________________ to an open sentence are the values (replacements) that make the sentence true |

Definition

| |

|An _____________________ states that two mathematical expressions are equal |

• Real numbers have certain properties that we can use when we solve equations or open sentences. Some of those properties are listed below.

For all real numbers

|Reflexive Property of Equality | ___________________________________ |

|Symmetric Property of Equality |if a = b, then ___________________________________ |

|Transitive Property of Equality |if a = b and b = c, then___________________________________ |

|Addition Property of Equality |if a = b, then ___________________________________ |

|Subtraction Property of Equality |if a = b, then ___________________________________ |

To find a solution, you can use properties of equality to form equivalent equations. Equivalent equations are equations that have the same solution (or solutions).

sides of his garden. How long will the garden be if the width is 12 ft?

• SKILL:

o In the equation [pic], the parentheses indicate multiplication. Use the DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY to multiply each term within the parentheses by -2. Then use the properties of equality to solve the equation.

11. Solve each equation. Check your answer.

a. [pic] b. [pic]

• SKILL:

o You can CLEAR an equation of DECIMALS by multiplying by a power of 10. In the equation [pic], the greatest number of digits to the right of a decimal point is 2. To clear the equation of decimals, multiply each side of the equation by [pic], or 100.

Families of Functions Posters

The purpose of this assignment is to help you understand characteristics of certain kinds of functions, how to classify functions, and how to use the graphing calculator.

Directions

You will do this assignment two times, each time with a different symbolic rule.

1. Get a slip of paper that has a symbolic rule on it. On a poster-sized sheet, record your name and the symbolic rule.

2. On the poster, write the calculation procedure in words.

3. Create a table of values for inputs from –10 to 10 counting by ones. Use the graphing calculator and enter the rule under “Y=.” Use the calculator to make this table. Record it on the poster-sized sheet of paper.

4. On graph paper, create a graph of your rule. Label your scale and your axes. Tape or staple this graph to your poster.

5. Predict what would happen if you made your graph for x-values beyond –10 and 10. Use dotted lines to show what you predict will happen.

6. Make a list of anything you notice about the rule, the table, and the graph on the poster sized sheet of paper. Include what you know about tables and graphs.

7. Please get a second function and complete 1-6 on a new sheet of poster paper.

When finished, you will be presenting BOTH of your functions to the class.
