Section 2.1

Hello fellow class members, first i am produce to announce that book licker has been accepted into urbandictionary.com, http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=book%20licker will be up very shorty.

This section in the book has to do with equations. Woohooooo!!!!! And overall this section is what we learned in 8th grade (or 7th for the chosen ones) but it just takes it into the next level of difficulty.

Equation- a statement where two quantities or expressions are equal. like the one my dad has tattooed on his back.

or one as simple as y=mx+b, but thats not as fun......

Algebraic equation- contain algebraic expressions such as polynomails, rational expressions, radicals and so on.

Conditional equation- same as above but if there are numbers in the domains of the expressions that are not solutions like 16=x^2

Identity- An equation where every number in the domains of the expressions in an algebraic equation is a solution..... 2x+64=2(x+32)





Solving an equation
(2x+5)(5x-3)=4x+10 simplify 4x+10
(2x+5)(5x-3)=2(2x+5) take away 2x+5 on both sides
5x-3=2 add three on both sides
5x=5 divide
x=1


An equation containing rational expressions
the website above sums it all up completely


Boom! Game

Thank you,


Peter Kessel
