2.ABSOLUTE
VALUE AND
DISTANCE Definition of Absolute Value
If a is a real number, then the
absolute value of a is:
the distance from to on the
real number line
THE REAL LINE
(COORDINATE LINE / REAL NUMBER LINE)
Distance between points on the real line

If and are real numbers, then the distance between

the points and on the real line is:


Example: Distance Between Points on the Real Line

The distance between the numbers -3 and 1 is:

We can check this calculation geometrically:


EXPONENTIAL NOTATION
If a is any real number and n is a positive integer, then the nth power
of a is:

The number a is called the base, and n is called the exponent.


SCIENTIFIC
NOTATION SCIENTIFIC NOTATION
A positive number is said to be
written in scientific notation if it
a compact way of writing very large
numbers and very small numbers is expressed as follows:

where and is an
integer
Example:

• The distance to the star Proxima Centauri is km

• The mass of a hydrogen atom is 1.66 g


RADICALS
Definition of nth Root
If n is any positive integer, then the principal
nth root of a is defined as follows:

means

If is even, we must have and


! Notice that

BUT

The equation is true not only for square


roots, but for any even root.
Definition of Rational Exponents
For any rational exponent m/n in lowest
terms, where m and n are integers and ,
RATIONAL we define:

or equivalently
EXPONENTS If is even, then we require that .

Fractional Expression
a Fractional Expression is a quotient
of two algebraic expressions.

Rational expression
a Rational Expression is a fractional
3𝑥
expression with its numerator and √𝑥 −2
denominator are polynomials.
Multiplying

We multiply two numerators and


two denominator separately. 𝑧 𝑥 𝑧.𝑥 𝑧.𝑥

Subtracting
we find a common
denominator then add or
subtract the numerators.
Rationalizing 1 +√ 3

Multiply the numerator or


the denominator by their
relevant conjugate radical

Check your Answer EQUATIONS
Example: Mary inherits $16,000 and invests it in two certificates of deposit.
One certificate pays 4% and the other pays 6% simple interest annually. If Mary’s
total interest is $800 per year, how much money is invested at each rate?
In Words In Algebra
Amount invested at 4%
Simple interest formula:I=Prt

Amount invested at 6%

Interest earned at 4% => So Mary has invested $8,000 at


4% and the remaining $8,000 at 6%.
Interest earned at 6%
