Chapter 1

THE LANGUAGE OF
ALGEBRA

1-1 Variables and Expressions


We will be able to write

mathematical expressions for


verbal expressions and vise-versa.
Ex: 2x+5
Answer: The sum of 5 and the
product of two and a number X

1-2 Order of Operations


We will be able to evaluate numerical

and algebraic expressions by using order


of operations.
PEMDAS
Ex: 2(5-x)+4
10-2x+4
14-2x

1-3 Open Sentences


We will solve open sentence equations and

inequalities.
Ex: Use a replacement set

Open sentence

6n+7=37

True/False

6(2)+7=37
12+7=37
19=37

FALSE

6(4)+7=37
24+7=37
31=37

FALSE

1-4 Identity and Equality Properties


We will recognize and use the properties

of identity and equality.


Additive Identity
Multiplicative Identity
Multiplicative Property of Zero
Multiplicative Inverse
Reciprocals Properties of equality

1-5 The Distributive Property


We will use the distributive property to

evaluate and simplify expressions.


Ex: 2(3-4)+3(2-7)
6-8+6-21
-2+6-21
4-21
-17

1-6 Commutative and Associative Properties

We will recognize and use

the Commutative and


Associative Properties to
simplify expressions.

1-7 Logical Reasoning

We will identify the hypothesis

and conclusion of a conditional


statement and use a counter
example to show that an
assertion is false.
If the popcorn burns, then the
heat was too high

1-8 Graphs and Functions

We will interpret graphs and

draw graphs of functions.


Ex: Graph (0,1),(3,5), (5,-4)
Is the set of ordered pairs a
function?
What is the domain and
range?

1-9 Analyzing Data by Using Tables and Graphs

We will Analyze data and

determine if data is
misleading.
