Preface During our time at Miami Dade College, we had the pleasure of meeting and working with students from diverse backgrounds. Many of our students were non-native English speakers, and we are forever indebted to them for teaching us the art of clear, concise, and accessible communication. Applied Basic Mathematics Second Edition is the culmination of the lessons learned from our students. It is an inviting and easyto-read textbook that reflects the tone of our classrooms, uses the language of mathematics, and connects mathematics to the world through realistic and lively applications. We believe that our simple, relevant, and mathematically accurate exposition will benefit each and every student. We were motivated, in part, to write this textbook by the lack of student success we were seeing at and above the level of introductory algebra. Like many of our colleagues, we observed that our students often lacked understanding of math terminology and concepts and were frequently unaware of the relevance of math to their lives. To address these issues, we have made every effort to define terms accurately, use terminology in its correct context, and constantly remind students of the applications of the math they are learning. Key definitions are bolded and defined in the margins for ease of reference. Each exercise set begins with Concept Check exercises, giving students the opportunity to assess their knowledge of terminology and key concepts. Additionally, each section of the text concludes with an “Apply Your Knowledge” learning objective. Many of our application problems include data from a variety of disciplines, career fields, and everyday situations. In addition to providing a clear, concise, relevant, and mathematically correct exposition, we sought to facilitate the development of basic skills for future use at and above the introductory algebra level. To this end, we crafted Examples and Solution Strategies that guide the student through problems in a step-by-step manner. Each Example and Solution Strategy is followed by a Try-It Exercise. The Try-It Exercises allow the student to actively engage in his or her own learning by providing a problem similar to the Example. Accompanying each Try-It Exercise is a complete worked-out solution in Appendix A. The complete solution allows the student to assess his or her understanding of the concepts or algorithms developed in the section and detailed in the Example and Solution Strategy. To further facilitate the development of basic skills, each section is followed by a comprehensive exercise set. Each exercise set contains Guide Problems, an exciting feature that is unique to this book. The Guide Problems pose problems similar to those in the examples and exercise set, guiding the student through the solution process in a step-by-step manner.

Applied Basic Mathematics provides the structure and support students need to navigate their basic mathematics course. Like a guidebook for basic math, this text leads your students through the course by asking them to relate, reinforce, and review as they learn.

Culinary Arts

T

o create cuisine with the ideal flavor, chefs and bakers must know how to appropriately combine different ingredients. They need to know exactly how much of each ingredient must be added to a particular recipe. Adding too much baking soda to a cake recipe will result in a cake that is hard as a rock. Adding too little garlic to shrimp scampi will result in a bland dish. 1 Many recipes involve fractions. For instance, a recipe may call for cup of 3 1 teaspoon of vanilla. More sophisticated recipes may require very small 2 fractional amounts. A recipe may require a pinch of salt, which is traditionally 1 defined as teaspoon. 8 sugar or

Often, chefs need to adjust recipes. For example, a chef may want to make only half of a recipe, or she may have to double it. Consequently, anyone working in the culinary arts must be proficient at manipulating fractions. Try Example 4 of Section 2.4 about cutting a recipe in half. 101

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE The last learning objective in each section of the text is called Apply Your Knowledge. These objectives provide extra examples and exercises to help students synthesize and apply what they have learned to real situations.

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Objective 2.1E

EXAMPLE 7

Apply your knowledge

You have volunteered to be the “barbeque chef” for a school party. From experience, you know that hot dogs should be turned every 2 minutes and hamburgers should be turned every 3 minutes. How often will they be turned at the same time?

SOLUTION STRATEGY 251?2 351?3

In this example, we are looking for the least common multiple of 2 and 3.

The LCM of 2 and 3 is 2 ? 3 5 6. The hamburgers and hot dogs will be turned at the same time every 6 minutes.

VOCABULARY

8 . Note that 4 is a factor common to both 8 12 and 12. We can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4. As another example, consider

8 2 8 5 5 12 12 3 3

In simplifying fractions, we often seek the largest factor that is common to both the numerator and denominator. The greatest common factor or GCF is the largest factor shared by two or more numbers. Sometimes, the GCF isn’t obvious. In such cases, divide out any common factors until the fraction is simplified completely.

Steps for Simplifying a Fraction Step 1. Identify and divide out any factors common to the numerator

and the denominator. Use the greatest common factor if you can identify it. Step 2. If a common factor remains in the numerator and denominator of

the resulting fraction, repeat step 1 until the fraction is simplified to lowest terms.

Along with plenty of practice exercises organized by objective, you’ll also find the following types of exercises in the Section Review Exercise sets:

CHAPTER 1

Whole Numbers

IN THIS CHAPTER 1.1 Understanding the Basics of Whole Numbers (p. 2) 1.2 Adding Whole Numbers (p. 13) 1.3 Subtracting Whole Numbers (p. 25) 1.4 Multiplying Whole Numbers (p. 35) 1.5 Dividing Whole Numbers (p. 50) 1.6 Evaluating Exponential Expressions and Applying Order of Operations (p. 63) 1.7 Solving Application Problems (p. 74)

athematics is an important tool in everyday activities and whole numbers provide the basic foundation. In this chapter, we begin our study of basic mathematics with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers. Once we have mastered these basic operations, we will learn about order of operations, which tells us how to simplify expressions that involve more than one operation. Then we will learn how to solve application problems involving whole numbers.

ACCOUNTING Accounting is a profession that uses mathematics extensively. Accountants track companies’ expenses as well as prepare, analyze, and verify financial statements. They keep public records, make sure taxes are paid properly, and look for ways to run businesses more efficiently. A bachelor’s degree is the minimum requirement. To advance in the accounting profession, you’ll need additional certification or graduate-level education. 1

CHAPTER 1

Whole Numbers

Those in the accounting field can earn the certified public accountant designation by meeting experience and educational requirements and by passing an exam. One important financial statement used frequently by accountants is the balance sheet. See Numerical Facts of Life on page 93 for an explanation and an application problem involving a balance sheet.

1.1 UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS OF WHOLE NUMBERS LEARNING OBJECTIVES A. Identify the place value of a digit in a whole number B. Write a whole number in standard notation and word form C. Write a whole number in expanded notation D. Round a whole number to a specified place value E.

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE

The ability to read, write, comprehend, and manipulate numbers is an integral part of our lives. Therefore, we begin our study of mathematics with a look at numbers and the basic operations we can perform on them.

Identify the place value of a digit in a whole number

Objective 1.1A

The numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are called digits. The Hindu-Arabic or decimal number system is a system that uses the digits to represent numbers. The natural or counting numbers are any of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 . . . . The three dots (. . .) indicate that the list goes on indefinitely. The whole numbers include zero together with the natural numbers. That is, the whole numbers are any of the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 . . . . There is no largest natural number or whole number. Throughout this chapter, numbers mentioned in any definition will be whole numbers.

digits The numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

A whole number is broken up into different place values, or places: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, etc. Moreover, these places are gathered together in groups of three known as periods: units, thousands, millions, billions, etc. Each period within a whole number is separated by a comma.

Hindu-Arabic or decimal number system A system that uses the digits to represent numbers.

The position of a digit in a whole number tells us the value of that digit. For example, at the time of this writing, the national debt was $12,409,846,374,529. There are three 4s in this number, and each 4 has a different value depending on its placement. To see this, consider the following chart.

Objective 1.1B

Write a whole number in standard notation and word form

In each of the examples above, commas separate the periods. A representation for a whole number in which each period is separated by a comma is called standard notation or standard form. For example, the number 32158 is written in standard notation as follows. 32,158

Whole numbers with four digits may be written with or without a comma. For example, either 2139 or 2,139 is correct. In this text, we will not write a comma in four-digit numbers. It is sometimes necessary to write numbers in word form. You have undoubtedly done so if you have ever written a check. The following rule tells us how to properly write a number in word form.

Rule for Writing a Whole Number in Word Form Starting from the left, for each period except for the units, write the number named by the digits in that period followed by the name of the period and a comma. For the units period, simply write the number named by the digits. Hyphenate the numbers 21 through 99 except 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 whenever these appear in any period.

CHAPTER 1

Whole Numbers

For example, if a trip you are planning totals 2489 miles, you could express the distance as 2500 miles. A state might list its population of 6,998,991 as 7,000,000. An annual salary of $54,930 could be referred to as $55,000.

Steps for Rounding Numbers to a Specified Place Value Step 1. Identify the place to which the number is to be rounded. Step 2. If the digit to the right of the specified place is 4 or less, the digit in

the specified place remains the same. If the digit to the right of the specified place is 5 or more, increase the digit in the specified place by one. Step 3. Change the digit in each place after the specified place to zero.

CHAPTER 1

Whole Numbers

Objective 1.2A

Use the addition properties

We use three special properties of addition regularly. The first property tells us that 0 added to any number equals the original number. For example, 3 1 0 5 3 and 0 1 3 5 3.

Addition Property of Zero Adding 0 to any number results in a sum equal to the original number. That is, for any number a, we have the following. a105a

and

01a5a

The next property tells us that the order in which we add two numbers does not matter. As an example, consider the sums 2 1 3 and 3 1 2. Both equal 5.

Commutative Property of Addition Changing the order of the addends does not change the sum. That is, for any numbers a and b, we have the following. a1b5b1a

The final property tells us that the way in which we group numbers in an addition problem does not change the sum. We generally group numbers using parentheses, and we always add the numbers within the parentheses first. As an example, consider the following. (2 1 3) 1 4 514 9

Also, 2 1 (3 1 4) 217 9

Note that no matter how we group the numbers in the addition problem, we get the same result.

Associative Property of Addition Changing the grouping of addends does not change the sum. That is, for any numbers a, b, and c, we have the following. (a 1 b) 1 c 5 a 1 (b 1 c)

EXAMPLE 1

Consider the following problem. 878 1 245

Learning Tip When performing addition, if the sum in a column is greater than nine, write the digit in the ones place at the bottom of that column and carry the digit in the tens place to the top of the column to the left.

To begin, we add the digits in the ones column: 8 1 5 5 13. Certainly, we cannot write a two-digit number at the bottom of the ones column. Rather, we write 3 at the bottom of the ones column and write 1 at the top of the tens column. We refer to this process as carrying. We write this as follows. 1

878 1 245 3

We can do this because 13 5 1 ten 1 3 ones. Continuing the problem, we add the digits in the tens column: 1 1 7 1 4 5 12. Again, we cannot write a two-digit number at the bottom of the tens column. Rather, we write 2 at the bottom of the tens column and carry 1 to the top of the hundreds column. 11

878 1 245 23

Again, this works because 1 ten 1 7 tens 1 4 tens 5 12 tens 5 1 hundred 1 2 tens.

1.2 Adding Whole Numbers

Finally, we add the digits in the hundreds column: 1 1 8 1 2 5 11. Since this is the leftmost column, we don’t have to carry. Rather, we just write this result below the horizontal bar. Our final answer is written as follows. 11

The following steps summarize addition of whole numbers.

Steps for Adding Whole Numbers Step 1. Write the digits of the addends in columns with the place values

(ones, tens, hundreds, etc.) vertically aligned. Place a horizontal bar under the vertically aligned addends. Step 2. Beginning with the ones column, add the digits in each column. If the

sum of the digits in any column is a two-digit number, write the rightmost digit at the bottom of that column and carry the leftmost digit to the top of the column to the left. Step 3. Repeat this process until you reach the leftmost column. For that col-

umn, write the sum under the horizontal bar.

Addition of whole numbers is one of the most basic mathematical operations. It is used in everyday activities such as totaling a supermarket purchase. Addition is also necessary in tackling complicated scientific and engineering problems. When we encounter application problems involving addition, we will not simply be given a column of numbers to add. We will more than likely be required to analyze a situation and understand which facts are given and which need to be determined. Complete coverage of application problems is found in Section 1.7.

In a subtraction problem, the 2 symbol is called the minus sign. The number from which another number is to be subtracted is called the minuend, and the number that is subtracted from a given number is called the subtrahend. The minuend always comes before the minus sign while the subtrahend always comes after it. The result of subtracting numbers is called the difference. 7 minuend

To understand how this works, let’s first rewrite the minuend and subtrahend in expanded notation. 7 hundreds 1 2 tens 1 4 ones 2 5 hundreds 2 6 tens 2 2 ones

To subtract the numbers in the tens column, we manipulate the minuend by borrowing 1 hundred from the 7 hundreds. We then regroup the 1 hundred that we borrowed with the 2 tens. 7 hundreds 1 2 tens 1 4 ones 5 6 hundreds 1 1 hundred 1 2 tens 1 4 ones 5 6 hundreds 1 10 tens 1 2 tens 1 4 ones 5 6 hundreds 1 12 tens 1 4 ones

Note: 7 hundred 5 6 hundreds 1 1 hundred Note: 1 hundred 5 10 tens

We can now subtract. 6 hundreds 1 12 tens 1 4 ones 2 5 hundreds 2 6 tens 2 2 ones 1 hundred 1 6 tens 1 2 ones 5 162

Rather than write out the expanded forms of the minuend and subtrahend, we prefer to use the following shorter form. 724 2562 2 6 12

724 2562 62

Subtract the digits in the ones column. Borrow 1 hundred from the 7 hundreds. Note: 1 hundred 5 10 tens, and

10 tens 1 2 tens 5 12 tens. Cross out the 7 and write a 6 above it. Cross out the 2 and write 12 above it. Subtract the numbers in the tens column.

Subtract the digits in the ones column. We cannot subtract 7 tens from 5 tens and get a whole number. To subtract in the tens column, borrow 1 hundred (10 tens) from the 7 hundreds. Cross out the 7 in the hundreds column and write 6 above it. Cross out the 5 in the tens column and write 15 above it. Subtract the numbers in the tens column. We cannot subtract 8 hundreds from 6 hundreds and get a whole number. To subtract in the hundreds column, borrow 1 thousand (10 hundreds) from the 1 thousand. Cross out the 1 in the thousands column and write 0 above it. Cross out the 6 in the hundreds column and write 16 above it. Subtract the numbers in the hundreds column.

1.3 Subtracting Whole Numbers

The following steps summarize subtraction of whole numbers.

Steps for Subtracting Whole Numbers Step 1. Write the digits of the minuend and subtrahend in columns with the

place values vertically aligned. Place a horizontal bar under the vertically aligned minuend and subtrahend. Step 2. Beginning with the ones column, subtract the digits in each column.

If the digits in a column cannot be subtracted to produce a whole number, borrow from the column to the left. Step 3. Continue until you reach the last column on the left. For that

column, write the difference under the horizontal bar.

There are some properties associated with multiplying whole numbers that you should know. The first two properties pertain to factors of 0 and 1, respectively. Notice that the product of any number and 0 is 0. For example, 3 ? 0 5 0 and 0 ? 3 5 0.

Multiplication Property of Zero The product of any number and 0 is 0. That is, for any number a, we have the following. a?050?a50

Also, note that the product of any number and 1 is the number itself. For example, 3 ? 1 5 3 and 1 ? 3 5 3.

Multiplication Property of One The product of any number and 1 is the number itself. That is, for any number a, we have the following. a?151?a5a

In Section 1.2, Adding Whole Numbers, we learned that addition is commutative, that is, the order in which we add numbers does not change the sum. We also learned that addition is associative, or, in other words, the way in which we group the addends does not change the sum. We now learn that multiplication is both commutative and associative as well.

Commutative Property of Multiplication Changing the order of the factors does not change the product. That is, for any numbers a and b, we have the following. a?b5b?a

Associative Property of Multiplication Changing the grouping of the factors does not change the product. That is, for any numbers a, b, and c, we have the following. (a ? b) ? c 5 a ? (b ? c)

The last multiplication property says that multiplication is distributive. To understand what this means, consider 6(5 1 3). First, note that we can simplify this expression in the following way. 6(5 1 3) 5 6(8) 5 48

But also note that 6(5 1 3) simplifies to the same number as 6 ? 5 1 6 ? 3. 6 ? 5 1 6 ? 3 5 30 1 18 5 48

Since both 6(5 1 3) and 6 ? 5 1 6 ? 3 simplify to 48, we conclude that 6(5 1 3) 5 6 ? 5 1 6 ? 3. In particular, note how the 6 distributes to the 5 and the 3 in the sum contained within parentheses.

{

6(5 1 3) 5 6 ? 5 1 6 ? 3

This is known as the distributive property of multiplication over addition. We also have the distributive property of multiplication over subtraction. We state these properties formally as follows.

Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition or Subtraction Multiplication distributes over addition and subtraction. That is, for any numbers a, b, and c, we have the following: a(b 1 c) 5 ab 1 ac and a(b 2 c) 5 ab 2 ac (b 1 c)a 5 ba 1 ca and (b 2 c)a 5 ba 2 ca

FIND THE AREA OF A RECTANGLE area The measure associated with the interior of a closed, flat geometric figure.

As a preview to Chapter 7, Geometry, we shall take a look at a common application of multiplication. Namely, we will find the area of a rectangle. Area is the measure associated with the interior of a closed, flat geometric figure. Area is measured in square units, such as square feet or square inches. Consider a rectangle 4 inches long and 2 inches wide. Each small square measures 1 square inch. Together, the small squares form a rectangle with 2 rows of 4 squares each. Because there are 2 ? 4 or 8 squares, the area of the rectangle is 8 square inches. 1 in.

division The mathematical process of repeatedly subtracting a specified value. dividend The number being divided. divisor The number by which the dividend is divided. quotient The result of dividing numbers.

canoe #4

Note that when we repeatedly subtract 3 people from the original group of 12, we ultimately divide the original group of 12 into 4 kayaks. Another way of determining the number of kayaks needed is by using division. Division is the mathematical process of repeatedly subtracting a specified value. In this example, we divide 12 by 3 to determine that 4 kayaks are needed to accommodate the group. The number being divided is called the dividend, the number by which it is divided is called the divisor, and the result of dividing numbers is known as the quotient. From our definition of division, the dividend is the number from which we begin to subtract a specified value, the divisor is the specified value that is repeatedly

1.5 Dividing Whole Numbers

subtracted, and the quotient is the total number of times that we can repeatedly subtract. So, in our kayak problem, 12 is the dividend, 3 is the divisor, and 4 is the quotient. In general, a division problem can be written in the following three ways. Dividend 4 Divisor 5 Quotient

Quotient Divisor qDividend

Dividend 5 Quotient Divisor

Thus, the division problem in our kayak example can be written as follows. 4 3q12

12 4 3 5 4

There is an important connection between multiplication and division. In the previous section, we learned that multiplication is repeated addition. Since division is repeated subtraction, we say that multiplication and division are inverse operations. Thus, every division problem has an associated multiplication problem. For example, the division problem 12 4 3 is related to the following multiplication problem. What number times 3 equals 12?

Since 4 ? 3 5 12, it follows that 12 4 3 5 4.

Frequently, the divisor does not divide evenly into the dividend. As an example, consider 19 4 6. We can repeatedly subtract 6 to find the quotient. 19 26 13 26 7 26 1

remainder The number that remains after division is complete.

Subtract 6 repeatedly 3 times.

Can’t subtract 6 anymore and get a whole number!

Notice that we repeatedly subtract 6 a total of 3 times before we can no longer subtract and get a whole number. Thus, the quotient is 3. The number that is left over is called the remainder. Now, recall that division and multiplication are inverse operations. Thus, we can re-write our division problem in terms of multiplication. We begin by writing the product 3 ? 6. This, however, does not equal 19. We can fix this problem by adding the remainder 1 to our product. 19 5 (3 ? 6) + 1

This is the correct way of expressing the answer to the division problem 19 4 6. However, we shall use the standard convention of writing the quotient, followed by the letter R, followed by the remainder. 19 4 6 5 3 R 1

Alternatively, using long division format, we write the division problem and its answer as follows. 3R1 6q19

We generally work such a problem in the following way. 3 6q19

Consider 6 divided into 19. Since 6 does not divide evenly into 19, estimate the number of times 6 divides into 19. Since 6 divides into 19 approximately 3 times, write 3 above the 9 in the dividend.

3R1 6 q19 218 Multiply 3 ? 6. Write the product below the dividend. Subtract. 19 2 18 5 1. 1

After we subtract 18 from 19, there is nothing in the dividend to bring down. Therefore, 1 is the remainder. Note that the remainder, 1, is less than the divisor, 6. In division problems with remainders, the remainder must always be less than the divisor. If it were larger, then the divisor would divide into the dividend at least one more time.

Since 30 . 2 and 30 . 22, consider 30 divided into 228. Since 30 does not divide into 228 evenly, estimate the number of times that 30 divides into 228. Our best estimate is 7. Write 7 above 8 in the dividend.

7 30q228 2 210 18

Multiply 7 ? 30. Subtract. 228 2 210 5 18.

7 R 18 30q228

Because there is nothing left to bring down, the remainder is 18. Note that the remainder is less than the divisor.

The answer is 7 R 18. 6 b. 89q5356 6 89q5356 2 534 16

Although 89 does not divide into 5 or 53, it does divide into 535. We estimate that 89 divides into 535 six times. Write 6 above the second 5 in the dividend.

Multiply 6 ? 89. Subtract. 535 2 534 5 1. Bring down the 6.

60 89q5356 2 534 16 20 16

Divide 89 into 16. Since 89 divides into 16 zero times, write 0 above 6 in the dividend.

1.6 EVALUATING EXPONENTIAL EXPRESSIONS AND APPLYING ORDER OF OPERATIONS Did you know there are about 100,000,000,000 stars in the galaxy? When dealing with such large numbers, it is useful to have a shorthand way of expressing them. Exponential notation is a shorthand way of expressing repeated multiplication. It is also a useful way of expressing very large or very small numbers. As we shall see in this section, the number of stars in the galaxy can be written in exponential notation in the following way. 1011

In exponential notation, the base is the factor that is multiplied repeatedly. The exponent or power is the number that indicates how many times the base is to be used as a factor. The exponent is written as a superscript of the base. In the expression 23, 2 is the base and 3 is the exponent. base

THE AREA OF A SQUARE One common application of exponents is finding the area of a square. If you have ever measured a room for carpeting or some other floor covering, you have already encountered the concept of area. As we learned in Objective 1.4C, area is the measure associated with the interior of a closed, flat geometric figure. Measured in terms of “square units,” area tells us the number of these units needed to cover the region. In Chapter 7, we will learn about the area of geometric shapes of all types, including triangles, rectangles, and circles. For now, let’s see how the concept of area works for a square.

A square room has a length of 9 feet. a. What is the area of the room? b. If ceramic tile costs $4 per square foot, how much will it cost to tile the room?

SOLUTION STRATEGY a. A 5 s2 2

A 5 (9 feet) 5 81 square feet b. $4 ? 81 5 $321

Because the room is in the shape of a square, we use the formula A 5 s 2 to calculate the area. Multiply the cost per square foot by the number of square feet.

TRY-IT EXERCISE 7 You have just purchased a dining room table with a glass top. The table top is square, with sides that measure 48 inches. a. What is the area of the table top?

b. If a protective pad for the glass top costs $5 per square foot, how much will the pad cost? Hint: One square foot equals 144 square inches.

T

o create cuisine with the ideal flavor, chefs and bakers must know how to appropriately combine different ingredients. They need to know exactly how much of each ingredient must be added to a particular recipe. Adding too much baking soda to a cake recipe will result in a cake that is hard as a rock. Adding too little garlic to shrimp scampi will result in a bland dish. 1 Many recipes involve fractions. For instance, a recipe may call for cup of 3 1 sugar or teaspoon of vanilla. More sophisticated recipes may require very small 2 fractional amounts. A recipe may require a pinch of salt, which is traditionally 1 defined as teaspoon. 8 Often, chefs need to adjust recipes. For example, a chef may want to make only half of a recipe, or she may have to double it. Consequently, anyone working in the culinary arts must be proficient at manipulating fractions.

2.1 FACTORS, PRIME FACTORIZATIONS, AND LEAST COMMON MULTIPLES LEARNING OBJECTIVES A. Find the factors of a natural number B. Determine whether a number is prime, composite, or neither

We begin this chapter with a discussion of factors, prime numbers, and least common multiples. Although these concepts relate to natural numbers, they are important ideas in our work with fractions. Throughout this section, numbers in any definition will be natural numbers. Objective 2.1A

Find the factors of a natural number

C. Find the prime factorization of a composite number

In Section 1.4, Multiplying Whole Numbers, we learned that factors are numbers that are multiplied together. In the product 3 ? 6 5 18, both 3 and 6 are factors. More precisely, we say that 3 and 6 are factors of 18.

D. Find the least common multiple (LCM) of a set of numbers

An alternate way of expressing the concept of factors is in terms of division. When one number divides another number evenly (that is, when the remainder is 0), both the divisor and quotient are factors of the dividend. For example, we say that 3 divides 18 evenly since 18 4 3 5 6. Thus, the divisor, 3, and the quotient, 6, are factors of the dividend, 18. Likewise, we note that 6 divides 18 evenly since 18 4 6 5 3, and so, once again, 3 and 6 are both factors 18. Thus, we define a factor of a number as a natural number that divides the given number evenly.

E.

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE

factor of a number A natural number that divides the given number evenly.

Certainly, there are other factors of 18 aside from just 3 and 6. To find them, let’s divide 18 by the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, and so on. 18 4 1 5 18 18 4 2 5 9 18 4 3 5 6 18 4 4 18 4 5 18 4 6 5 3

1 and 18 are factors of 18. 2 and 9 are factors of 18. 3 and 6 are factors of 18. Does not divide evenly. Does not divide evenly. 6 and 3 are factors of 18. (We have already made this observation.)

Once the factors begin to repeat, we have found all of the factors. We see that 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18 are the factors of 18. In general, we do the following in order to determine the factors of a natural number.

Rule for Finding Factors of a Natural Number Divide the natural number by each of the numbers 1, 2, 3, and so on. If the natural number is divisible by one of these numbers, then both the divisor and the quotient are factors of the natural number. Continue until the factors begin to repeat. To determine whether one number divides another number evenly, it is often helpful to use the following rules of divisibility. Note that all numbers are divisible by 1; the result of dividing any number by 1 is the number itself. Therefore, 1 is a factor of every number, and each number is a factor of itself.

2

The number is even (that is, the last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8).

3

The sum of the digits is divisible by 3.

4

The number named by the last two digits is divisible by 4.

5

The last digit is either 0 or 5.

The number named by the last three digits is divisible by 8.

10

The last digit is 0.

If 4 is a factor of a number, then so is 2. For example, 4 is a factor of 16, and since 2 is a factor of 4, it follows that 2 is also a factor of 16. The reverse is not necessarily true. That is, just because 2 is a factor of a number does not mean that 4 is also a factor. As an example, 2 is a factor of 10, but 4 is not. Similar statements hold for each of the following. ●

prime number or prime A natural number greater than 1 that has only two factors (divisors), namely, 1 and itself. composite number A natural number greater than 1 that has more than two factors (divisors).

Learning Tip

Determine whether a number is prime, composite, or neither

A natural number greater than 1 that has only two factors (divisors), namely, 1 and itself, is called a prime number. We say that such a number is prime. The number 7, for example, is prime because its only two factors (divisors) are 1 and 7. The number 2 is the smallest prime number. It is also the only even prime number. A natural number greater than 1 that has more than two factors (divisors) is known as a composite number. Every natural number greater than 1 is either prime or composite depending on the numbers of factors (divisors) it has. Note that 0 and 1 are neither prime nor composite (0 is not a natural number and, by definition, prime and composite numbers are greater than 1). To determine whether a number is a composite number, divide the number by smaller prime numbers. If we can divide without a remainder, then the number is composite. For reference, the prime numbers less than 100 are listed below.

Every even number, except for 2, is composite because each is divisible by 2.

Objective 2.1C

Find the prime factorization of a composite number

The term factor can also be defined as a verb. As a verb, to factor means to express a quantity as a product. Such a product is called a factorization. As an example, consider the number 18. There are three two-number factorizations. 1 ? 18 5 18

2 ? 9 5 18

factor To express a quantity as a product.

3 ? 6 5 18

Because 18 can be factored in any of the three ways listed above, the numbers 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18 are all factors of 18. A prime factorization of a natural number is a factorization in which each factor is prime. None of the factorizations of 18 listed above are prime factorizations. Note, for instance, that 2 · 9 is not a prime factorization because 9 is a composite number. But, if we factor the 9 as 3 · 3, we then get the prime factorization of 18.

prime factorization A factorization of a natural number in which each factor is prime.

2 ? 3 ? 3 5 2 ? 32 5 18

A prime factor tree is an illustration that shows the prime factorization of a composite number. To see how to construct a prime factor tree, let’s once again factor 18. We begin by seeking a two-number factorization of 18 in which 1 is not a factor. Let’s use 2 ? 9. Extend two branches from 18 and write 2 at the end of one branch and 9 at the end of the other. 18 2

9

Because 2 is prime, circle it. The remaining factor, 9, is composite, and so we extend two branches from 9 and seek a two-number factorization in which 1 is not a factor. Since 9 5 3 ? 3, write 3 at the end of each branch. Moreover, since 3 is prime, circle each 3.

It should be noted that the prime factorization of a composite number is unique. Therefore, no matter which two-number factorization we begin with in which 1 is not a factor, we will always end up with the same prime factorization. So, if we begin with the fact that 18 5 3 · 6, we end up with the same prime factors. 18

Objective 2.1D

Find the least common multiple (LCM) of a set of numbers

A multiple of a number is the product of the given number and any natural number. For example, multiples of 2 include 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. In particular, note the following. 2 ? 1 5 2,

2 ? 2 5 4,

2 ? 3 5 6,

2 ? 4 5 8,

2 ? 5 5 10

multiple of a number The product of the given number and any natural number.

We can create a list of multiples for any natural number by multiplying it by each natural number. Because there are infinitely many natural numbers, the list of the multiples is infinitely long. Therefore, we commonly write only the first few multiples of a given number. A common multiple is a multiple that is shared by a set of two or more numbers. For example, let’s find some common multiples of 4 and 6. Multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, . . . Multiples of 6 are 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, . . .

Comparing the first 10 multiples of each number, we see that 12, 24, and 36 are common.

common multiple A multiple that is shared by a set of two or more numbers.

CHAPTER 2

least common multiple or LCM The smallest multiple shared by a set of two or more numbers.

Fractions

While there are infinitely many common multiples, we are generally interested in a single common multiple. The one we are most interested in is called the least common multiple. The least common multiple or LCM is the smallest multiple shared by a set of two or more numbers. In the previous example, 12 is the least of the common multiples, and so we say that 12 is the LCM of 4 and 6. EXAMPLE 4

Find the LCM of 2, 4, and 5 by listing multiples.

Learning Tip Factor vs. Multiple The terms factor and multiple are often confused with one another. The factors of a natural number are those natural numbers that divide the given number evenly. As such, the factors of a natural number are less than or equal to the natural number itself. Each natural number has only finitely many factors (that is, the list of a natural number’s factors ends). A multiple of a natural number is a number obtained by multiplying the given natural number by any other natural number. As such, multiples of a natural number are greater than or equal to the natural number itself. Each natural number has infinitely many multiples (that is, the list of a natural number’s multiples never ends). As an example, consider the factors and multiples of 8. The factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, and 8. Each factor is less than or equal to 8. The list of factors ends. The multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, . . . Each multiple is greater than or equal to 8. The list of multiples does not end.

TRY-IT EXERCISE 4 Find the LCM of 2, 5, and 6. Check your answer with the solution in Appendix A. ■

The process of finding the LCM of a set of numbers by listing multiples can be extremely tedious, especially when the numbers are large. Another method uses the concept of prime factorization. We outline the steps for this method below.

Steps for Finding the LCM Using Prime Factorization Step 1. Write the prime factorization of each number. Step 2. Write the product of the prime factors with each factor appearing

the greatest number of times that it occurs in any one factorization.

To demonstrate this method, let’s search for the LCM of 8 and 12. We begin by writing the prime factorization of each number. 852?2?2 12 5 2 ? 2 ? 3

Next, we write the product of the prime factors with each factor appearing the greatest number of times that it occurs in any one factorization. 2?2?2?3

Note that 2 occurs three times in the prime factorization of 8 and twice in the prime factorization of 12. Therefore, we include the prime factor 2 a total of three times in our product. Next, we note that 3 is a prime factor of 12. Because it occurs only one time, we include the factor 3 once in our product. The LCM is the product of these factors. LCM 5 2 ? 2 ? 2 ? 3 5 24

We now detail an alternate method. To demonstrate this approach, let’s once again search for the LCM of 8 and 12. To begin, list the numbers 8 and 12 in a row with a half-box around them as shown below. Z8 12

Now, find a prime factor of one or both of these numbers. Since 8 and 12 are even, we know that 2 is a prime factor of each number. Write 2 to the left of the half-box. 2 Z8 12

Divide 8 by 2 and write the quotient, 4, directly below 8; divide 12 by 2 and write the quotient, 6, directly below 12. 2 Z8 12 Z4

In general, follow these steps to determine the LCM using this alternate method.

Steps for Finding the LCM: Alternate Method Step 1. List the numbers for which we are trying to find the LCM in a row.

Draw a half-box around the numbers. Step 2. Find a prime factor for at least one of these numbers. Write this

prime factor to the left of the half-box. Step 3. Consider the quotient of each number in the half-box and the prime

factor from Step 2. If the number is evenly divisible by the prime factor, write the quotient below the number. If not, rewrite the number itself. Place a half-box around this new row of numbers. Step 4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until a row of ones remains. Step 5. Calculate the product of the prime factors to the left of each half-

box. This is the LCM. EXAMPLE 6

2.2 INTRODUCTION TO FRACTIONS AND MIXED NUMBERS In the previous chapter, we discussed whole numbers and used them in a variety of applications. But there are other types of numbers aside from just whole numbers. Among these are the fractions. In this section, we discuss fractions and give some common interpretations of them. In later sections, we will learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions.

Identify a fraction and distinguish proper fractions, improper fractions, and mixed numbers

LEARNING OBJECTIVES A. Identify a fraction and distinguish proper fractions, improper fractions, and mixed numbers B. Use a fraction to represent a part of a whole C. Convert between an improper fraction and a mixed or whole number D.

On the part of the number line shown above, the whole numbers correspond to equally spaced points. Notice the gaps between 0 and 1, between 1 and 2, between 2 and 3, and so on. Each gap is called an interval. In each interval, there are other numbers, including fractions. To obtain the fractions, we divide each interval into smaller intervals of equal length known as subintervals. For example, let’s divide each interval into two subintervals. 0

Notice the new points in between each whole number. Each point corresponds to a number, and we need to name each number in some way. We could create new symbols in addition to the digits that we already use, but that would require many new symbols and would be inefficient. Instead, since we divided each interval into two smaller equal-length intervals, we’ll name each point in terms of division by 0 two. We agree to name the point corresponding to 0 as . The first point to the right 2 1 2 of 0 is named , the second point to the right of 0 is named , the third point to the 2 2 3 0 2 right of 0 is named , and so on. Notice that corresponds to 0, corresponds to 1, 2 2 2 4 corresponds to 2, and so on. 2 0 0 2

The top number in a fraction is called the numerator, while the bottom number in a fraction is called the denominator. The line between the numerator and the denominator is called the fraction bar. numerator 1 2

CHAPTER 2

proper fraction or common fraction A fraction in which the numerator is less than the denominator. improper fraction A fraction in which the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. mixed number A number that combines a whole number and a proper fraction.

Fractions

Each fraction on the number line above has a denominator of 2. To obtain fractions with a denominator of 3, we would divide each interval into 3 subintervals. To obtain fractions with a denominator of 4, we would divide each interval into 4 subintervals. Continuing in this way, we could obtain any fraction with any whole number denominator other than 0. A fraction in which the numerator is less than the denominator is called a proper fraction or a common fraction. Some other examples of proper fractions are as follows. 9 32

A fraction in which the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator is called an improper fraction. An improper fraction is always greater than or equal to 1. Some examples of improper fractions are as follows. 15 11

Use a fraction to represent a part of a whole

While a fraction is really just a number, we frequently use fractions to represent a part of a whole. To understand what we mean, consider a chocolate candy bar divided into 8 equal pieces. Each of the 8 pieces can be represented by the fraction 1 , or, in words, one-eighth or an eighth. If you ate 3 of the 8 pieces, you would have 8 3 consumed 3 of the eighths, and so you would use the fraction to represent the 8 portion of the candy bar that you ate. 3 8

As another example, consider a pizza cut into 12 equal slices. Each of the 1 12 slices represents , or, in words, one-twelfth or a twelfth, of the pizza. If you and 12 your friends ate 7 slices, then 7 of the twelfths were consumed. You would use the 7 fraction to represent this portion. 12 7 12

Simplify a fraction

fraction simplified to lowest terms A fraction in which the numerator and denominator have no common factor other than 1.

A special equivalent fraction is one that is simplified to lowest terms. A fraction simplified to lowest terms is a fraction in which the numerator and denominator have no common factor other than 1. To simplify a fraction to lowest terms, we can write the prime factorizations of the numerator and denominator and then divide the numerator and denominator by each common factor.

Learning Tip

6 As an example, let’s consider the fraction . In order to simplify this fraction, we 9 write each of the numerator and denominator in terms of its prime factorization.

Then, we divide both the numerator and denominator by each common factor. In this case, the only common factor is 3. To show that we are dividing the numerator and the denominator by 3, we cross out the 3 in the numerator and in the denominator as shown below. 1

CHAPTER 2

Fractions

It is not necessary to write the prime factorizations of the numerator and denominator in order to simplify a fraction. Rather, it is often easier to inspect the fraction for a factor common to both the numerator and denominator. For example, we 6 could simplify the fraction by noting that 2 is a common factor. We then simplify 10 the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2. 3

In simplifying fractions, we often seek the largest factor that is common to both the numerator and denominator. The greatest common factor or GCF is the largest factor shared by two or more numbers. Sometimes, the GCF isn’t obvious. In such cases, divide out any common factors until the fraction is simplified completely.

Steps for Simplifying a Fraction Step 1. Identify and divide out any factors common to the numerator

844 2 8 5 5 12 12 4 4 3

and the denominator. Use the greatest common factor if you can identify it.

In this text, we will use the convention of crossing out the numerator and denominator when dividing out a common factor.

Objective 2.3B

Write an equivalent fraction with a larger denominator

Aside from simplifying fractions, we can also create an equivalent fraction by rewriting the fraction with a larger denominator. To do this, divide the new denominator by the original denominator and multiply the numerator and denominator of the original fraction by this quotient. 3 as an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 8. 4 To do this, divide the new denominator, 8, by the original denominator, 4. Since 8 4 4 5 2, multiply both the numerator and denominator of the original fraction by 2. As an example, let’s write

3?2 3 6 5 5 4 4?2 8

Thus,

3 6 is equivalent to . 4 8

In the preceding example, when we multiply both the numerator and denomi2 nator by 2, we are actually multiplying the fraction by 1 in the form of . The 2 multiplication property of 1 tells us that the result of multiplying any number 3 by 1 is the original number. Consequently, when we multiply by 1 in the form 4 2 of , the value of the fraction does not change even though its form does. We will 2 see how to multiply fractions in the next section.

Compare fractions using the least common denominator (LCD)

Sometimes it is necessary to compare fractions. For example, we may know that three-fifths of the respondents to a survey prefer warm vacation getaways, while two-fifths of the survey participants prefer cold vacation adventures. To decide which type of vacation is preferred most by respondents to the survey, we must

We see that the larger fraction corresponds to the larger shaded portion of 3 2 each figure. Thus, . . Recall that “,” means “is less than” and “.” means “is 5 5 greater than.” Fractions with the same denominator are called like fractions. In general, to compare like fractions, simply compare the numerators. 5 4 of the students passed a test in one class and passed the same 5 6 test in another class. Which class has the lower pass rate? To answer this question, 5 4 we need to determine which fraction is smaller, or . In this case, the fractions 5 6 are not like, so we cannot simply compare the numerators. When it is difficult to determine which fraction has the smaller or larger value, writing equivalent fractions with the same denominator will make the answer evident. To do this, we must determine a common denominator.

like fractions Fractions with the same denominator.

Suppose that

In general, a common denominator is a common multiple of all the denominators for a set of fractions. There are many such common denominators, but usually we use the smallest one. The least common denominator or LCD is the least common multiple (LCM) of all the denominators for a set of fractions. For 4 5 example, to determine the smaller of the fractions and , we must determine the 5 6 LCD, that is, the LCM of the denominators. Refer back to Section 2.1 for a review of LCMs. 4 5 The LCM of 5 and 6 is 30, and so the LCD of and is 30. For each of these 5 6 fractions, write an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 30. 4?6 24 4 5 5 5 5?6 30

Objective 2.4A

Multiply fractions

Consider the following multiplication problem. 1 1 ? 2 3

In Section 1.4, we defined multiplication of whole numbers in terms of repeated addition. Certainly, that definition does not apply here. (What does it mean to 1 1 repeatedly add to itself times?) Thus, we need a different interpretation. 3 2 1 1 Recall that a keyword for multiplication is of. Therefore, the product ? can 2 3 1 1 1 1 1 be interpreted as “ of .” To calculate of , let’s first illustrate by dividing a 2 3 2 3 3 rectangular box into 3 equal pieces and shading one of these.

Since we want

1 1 of , let’s further divide our large rectangular box into 2 pieces. 2 3

1 1 of is shaded in dark purple. This represents 1 out of a total of 2 3 6 equal pieces. Thus, we have the following. Observe that

1 1 1 ? 5 2 3 6

Notice that the numerator is the product of the numerators and the denominator is the product of the denominators. This example suggests that we can use the following steps to multiply fractions.

Steps for Multiplying Fractions Step 1. Multiply the numerators to form the new numerator. Step 2. Multiply the denominators to form the new denominator. Step 3. Simplify, if possible.

In general, we have the following. a?c a c ? 5 b d b?d

When multiplying fractions, it is often necessary to simplify the result to lowest terms. Example 1c demonstrates such a situation. In this example, we simplify 6 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the common factor, 2. 28 Instead of simplifying a product after we perform the multiplication, we can use a shortcut whereby we divide out common factors before we multiply the fractions. 1 6 To see how this works, consider once again the product ? . Note that 4, the de4 7 nominator of the first fraction, and 6, the numerator of the second fraction, have a

1 Notice that we obtain the same answer whether we divide 8 by 2 or multiply 8 by . 2 1 Therefore, we conclude that 8 4 2 5 8 ? . 2 These problems, and others like them, suggest that dividing by 2 is equivalent to 1 1 multiplying by . (For example, consider 16 4 2 and 16 ? .) It is also true that dividing 2 2 1 by 3 is equivalent to multiplying by , dividing by 4 is equivalent to multiplying by 3 1 , and so on. But this leads us to a more general fact: every division problem has 4 an equivalent multiplication problem associated with it. This concept is central to fraction division. Before we can discuss division of fractions, we must introduce the reciprocal. a The reciprocal of the fraction , where a 2 0 and b 2 0, is the fraction b b . Thus, to find the reciprocal of a fraction, simply interchange the numerator and a 1 3 4 11 denominator.

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Now that we have learned to simplify fractions to lowest terms, create equivalent fractions with larger denominators, and find least common denominators, we are ready to add and subtract fractions.

Add fractions with the same denominator

Objective 2.6A

Suppose that you ate one-eighth of a pizza and your friend ate two-eighths of the same pizza. Together, how much of the pizza did you and your friend eat? Study the figure below.

Your friend’s slices of pizza

Your slice of pizza

In total, you and your friend ate three slices of pizza. Therefore, it seems reasonable to conclude that together, you and your friend ate three-eighths of the pizza. This example suggests that to add fractions with the same denominator, all we have to do is add the numerators and leave the common denominator alone. 1 2 112 3 1 5 5 8 8 8 8 like fractions Fractions with the same denominator.

Note that the denominators are the same. Recall that fractions with the same denominator are called like fractions. The following steps are used to add like fractions.

Add fractions with different denominators

Consider the addition problem 5 feet 1 2 yards. To add these quantities, we must first express them in terms of the same measurement unit. Since 1 yard = 3 feet, it follows that 2 yards = 6 feet. With this conversion, we can add. 5 feet 1 2 yards 5 5 feet 1 6 feet 5 11 feet A similar principle applies when adding fractions with different denominators. To see why, consider the following addition problem. 1 1 1 5 2

The pizza example that we considered earlier isn’t very helpful here. (How do we 1 1 add of a pizza and of a pizza?) Instead, let’s interpret this addition problem as 5 2 1 1 the sum of segments of lengths and . These segments are illustrated below. 5 2 1 5

In such addition problems, we must find the LCD and express each fraction part as an equivalent fraction with a denominator 1 2 equal to the LCD. As an example, consider 3 1 5 . 2 5 3

Subtract fractions with the same denominator

In Section 2.6, Adding Fractions and Mixed Numbers, we began by using an example involving pizza. Let’s use a similar example here. Suppose that you ate three-eighths of a pizza. What part of the pizza remains? Study the figure to the left. Because you ate three of the eight slices of pizza, five slices remain. Therefore, we conclude that five-eighths of the pizza remains. 3 8 To get this answer, we could subtract , the portion of the pizza you ate, from , 8 8 5 the fraction representing the entire pizza. The fact that the answer is suggests 8 that we simply subtract the numerators and leave the common denominator alone. 8 3 823 5 2 5 5 8 8 8 8

We summarize the steps for subtracting mixed numbers.

Steps for Subtracting Mixed Numbers Step 1. If the denominators of the fractions are different, write each fraction

as an equivalent fraction with a denominator equal to the LCD of the original fractions. Step 2. a. If the fraction part of the first mixed number is less than the frac-

tion part of the second mixed number, borrow 1 from the whole LCD number part and add it in the form of to the fraction part. LCD b. If the first number is a whole number, borrow 1 from the whole LCD number and add this in the form of to one less than the whole LCD number. Step 3. Subtract the fraction parts. Step 4. Subtract the whole number parts. Step 5. Simplify, if possible.

Steps for Finding the LCM Using Prime Factorization Step 1. Write the prime factorization of each number. Step 2. Write the product of the prime factors with each factor appearing the greatest number of times that it occurs in any one factorization. Steps for Finding the LCM: Alternate Method Step 1. List the numbers for which we are trying to find the LCM in a row. Draw a half-box around the numbers. Step 2. Find a factor for at least one of these numbers. Write this prime factor to the left of the numbers. Step 3. Consider the quotient of each number in the half-box and the factor from Step 2. If the number is evenly divisible by the prime factor, write the quotient below the number. If not, rewrite the number itself. Place a half-box around this new row of numbers. Step 4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until a row of ones remain. Step 5. Calculate the product of the factors to the left of each half-box. This is the LCM.

Decimals are used extensively in our everyday lives, in everything from keeping sports statistics to situations involving money. In this chapter, we will learn about decimals and how to perform arithmetic operations using decimals. Once we master these basic skills, we will learn to solve numerous real world applications using the principles of decimal computation.

3.1 UNDERSTANDING DECIMALS LEARNING OBJECTIVES A. Identify the place value of a digit in a decimal B. Write a decimal in word form and standard form

Suppose that you went to the store and the total amount of your purchase was $3.67. If you wanted to pay using exact change, you might begin by pulling out 3 one-dollar bills. In order to pay the remaining 67 cents exactly, you could not just hand over another dollar bill. That’s because the 67 cents, or $0.67, repre67 sents a fraction of a dollar bill. In particular, it represents of a dollar. 100 207

67 is an example of a decimal fraction. A decimal fraction is a frac100 tion whose denominator is a power of 10 (that is, a fraction whose denominator is one 341 1 57 of the numbers 10, 100, 1000, and so on). Other examples include , , and . 10 100 1000 The fraction

Decimal fractions can also be written in decimal notation. The decimal notation 341 1 57 for each of the fractions , , and is 0.1, 0.57, and 0.341, respectively. 10 100 1000 A number written in decimal notation is called a decimal number or a decimal. A decimal number either ends or does not end. A terminating decimal is a decimal whose expansion ends, whereas a non-terminating decimal is a decimal whose expansion does not end. The decimals 0.1, 0.57, and 0.341 are examples of terminating decimals. The decimals 0.313131 . . . and 0.21359 . . . are examples of nonterminating decimals. Every decimal fraction can be written as a terminating decimal. Throughout the first four sections of this chapter, we consider only terminating decimals. In Section 3.5 we will investigate a certain type of non-terminating decimal. Objective 3.1A

Identify the place value of a digit in a decimal

Decimals have a whole number side and a decimal side separated by a dot known as a decimal point. For example, consider 12.48. whole number side

Learning Tip While whole numbers are usually written without the decimal point, they are understood to have a decimal point located to the right of the digit in the ones place. For example, the whole number 55 may be written in any of the following ways. 55

55. 55.0

We prefer to write it as either 55 or 55.0.

decimal side

12.48 decimal point

In a decimal where the whole number is 0, such as 0.57, we may or may not include the 0. We could write either 0.57 or .57, but 0.57 is generally preferred. A whole number, such as 34, is understood to have a decimal point to the right of the digit in the ones place. We could write 34 as either 34. or 34.0. Generally, 34 or 34.0 are preferred. Each digit in a decimal has a place value. The place values to the left of the decimal point are powers of 10: 1, 10, 100, and so on. Recall that these place values are the ones place, the tens place, the hundreds place, and so on. The place values to the right of the decimal point are fractions whose denominators are powers of 10: 1 1 1 , , , and so on.

Objective 3.1C

Convert between a terminating decimal and a fraction or mixed number

It is often necessary to convert between a terminating decimal and a decimal fraction. To convert a terminating decimal to a fraction, we begin by writing a decimal in expanded notation. For example, consider 0.57. In this decimal, there are 0 ones, 5 tenths, and 7 hundredths. In expanded notation, we write this as follows. 01

7 5 1 10 100

We can add the fractions by adding equivalent fractions using the LCD, 100. 5 7 50 7 57 1 5 1 5 10 100 100 100 100

Thus, 0.57 is equivalent to the fraction

57 . 100

As another example, consider 8.023. In this decimal, there are 8 ones, 0 tenths, 2 hundredths, and 3 thousandths. In expanded notation, we write the decimal as follows. 81

2 3 0 1 1 10 100 1000

We can add the fractions by adding equivalent fractions using the LCD, 1000. 81

0 20 3 23 23 1 1 581 58 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000

Thus, 8.023 is equivalent to 8

23 . 1000

211

212

CHAPTER 3

Decimals

In each example above, notice that the number of places to the right of the decimal point is the same as the number of zeros in the denominator of the decimal fraction. 0.57 5 2 places

57          100

2 zeros

8.023 5 8 3 places

23 1000

3 zeros

This suggests the following rule for writing a terminating decimal as a fraction.

Rule for Converting a Terminating Decimal to a Fraction To convert a terminating decimal to a fraction, write the whole number formed by the digits to the right of the decimal point as the numerator, and write the power of 10 that has as many zeros as places in the decimal as the denominator. Simplify, if possible.

Let’s now convert a decimal fraction to a terminating decimal. To do so, we’ll use our earlier observation: the number of zeros in the denominator of the decimal fraction is the same as the number of places to the right of the decimal point. 29 As an example, consider . Since there are three zeros in the denominator’s 1000 power of ten, there must be three places after the decimal point. To ensure that we correctly write the decimal number, write the whole number 29, and then

3.1 Understanding Decimals

move the decimal point three places to the left as shown below. Insert zeros, as necessary. 29 1000

29.

3 zeros

move decimal 3 places to the left

29 5 0.029 1000

In general, we use the following rule to convert a decimal fraction to a decimal.

Rule for Converting a Decimal Fraction to a Decimal To convert a decimal fraction to a decimal, write the whole number in the numerator and move the decimal point to the left as many places as there are zeros in the power of ten in the denominator. The following examples illustrate this rule. 61 5 0.61 100

61 100

61.

2 zeros

move decimal 2 places to the left

831 100,000

831.

5 zeros

move decimal 5 places to the left

831 5 0.00831 100,000

If a mixed number has a fraction part that is a decimal fraction, we first write the mixed number as a sum of the whole number and the decimal fraction. We then convert to decimal notation. As an example, consider 23 23

79 . 10,000

79 79 5 23 1 5 23 1 0.0079 5 23.0079 10,000 10,000

Thus far, we have limited ourselves to converting a decimal fraction to decimal notation. In Section 3.5, we will learn how to write any fraction as a decimal. Objective 3.1D

Compare decimals

It is important to be able to compare decimal numbers. Many everyday applications rely on your ability to know which of two decimal numbers is larger. One way to compare decimals is to use a number line. For example, if we wanted to compare the decimals 0.4 and 0.7, we could graph them as follows. 0

0.1

0.2

0.3

0.4

0.5

0.6

0.7

0.8

0.9

1

Note that 0.4 is to the left of 0.7 on the number line. This means that 0.4 is less than 0.7. Recall that “,” means “is less than” and “.” means “is greater than.” Therefore, we write 0.4 , 0.7.

213

214

CHAPTER 3

Decimals

Perhaps the easiest way to apply these steps is to write the decimals one above another and then compare corresponding place values. The following steps outline how to do this.

Steps for Comparing Two Decimal Numbers Step 1. Write the decimals one above another so that their decimal points

are vertically aligned. Step 2. Compare the whole number sides. If one side is greater than the

other, then the entire decimal is greater. If they are equal, continue to the next step. Step 3. Compare the digits to the right of the decimal point in the corre-

sponding places from left to right. a. If the digits are the same, move right one place to the next digit. If necessary, insert zeros after the last digit to the right of the decimal point to continue the comparison. b. If the digits are not the same, the larger digit corresponds to the larger decimal. EXAMPLE 5

Compare decimals

Insert the symbol ,, ., or 5 to form a true statement. a. 3.465

3.545

b. 0.02544

SOLUTION STRATEGY a. 3.465 3.545 3.465 3.545 3.465 , 3.545 b. 0.02544 0.025 0.02544 0.025

Write the decimals one above another so that their decimal points are aligned. The whole number sides are equal. Continue.

The digits in the tenths places are different. Since 4 , 5, 3.465 , 3.545. Write the decimals one above another so that their decimal points are aligned. The whole number sides are equal. Continue.

The digits in the tenths places are the same. Continue.

0.02544 0.025

The digits in the thousandths places are the same. Continue.

Objective 3.1E

Round a decimal to a specified place

Rounding decimals is important because numbers commonly contain more decimal places than are required for a particular situation. We use the following steps to round decimals.

Steps for Rounding Decimals to a Specified Place Step 1. Identify the place to the right of the decimal point to which the deci-

mal is to be rounded. Step 2. If the digit to the right of the specified place is 4 or less, the digit in

the specified place remains the same. If the digit to the right of the specified place is 5 or more, increase the digit in the specified place by one. Carry, if necessary Step 3. Delete the digit in each place after the specified place.

In rounding a number to a specified place, only include digits up to that place— no more, no less. Here are some examples of rounding decimals. EXAMPLE 6

Round a decimal to a specified place

Round each decimal to the specified place. a. 0.43698 to the nearest thousandth b. 0.0093837 to the nearest hundred-thousandth c. 32.898 to the nearest hundredth d. 7.3381 to the nearest tenth

SOLUTION STRATEGY a. 0.43698 0.437 b. 0.0093837 0.00938 c. 32.898 32.90

d. 7.3381 7.3

The digit in the thousandths place is 6. Since the digit to the right of the 6 is 9, increase 6 to 7 and delete all digits to the right. The digit in the hundred-thousandths place is 8. Since the digit to the right of the 8 is 3, keep the 8 and delete all digits to the right. The digit in the hundredths place is 9. Since the digit to the right of the 9 is 8, increase 9 to 10. Since we cannot write 10 in the hundredths place, record 0 in the hundredths place and carry the 1 to the tenths place. Delete the digit to the right of 0. The digit in the tenths place is 3. Since the digit to the right of the 3 is 3, keep the 3 in the tenths place and delete all digits to the right.

3.2 ADDING AND SUBTRACTING DECIMALS Calculations with decimals are common in our everyday activities. We go shopping, put gas in the car, measure or weigh something, or write a check. Each one of these situations requires working with decimals. The operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with decimals follow the same procedures used with whole numbers. In this section, we will learn to add and subtract decimals.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES A. Add decimals B. Subtract decimals C. Estimate when adding or subtracting decimals D.

Objective 3.2A

Add decimals

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE

As with whole numbers, alignment of place values is very important when adding decimals. To ensure proper alignment, we line up the decimal points vertically. Vertically aligning the decimal points ensures that the addends’ digits are vertically aligned in each place (tenths place, hundredths place, thousandths place, and so on). Here are the steps for adding decimals.

Steps for Adding Decimals Step 1. Write the decimals so that the decimal points are vertically aligned.

If necessary, insert extra zeros to the right of the last digit after the decimal point so that each addend has the same number of decimal places. Step 2. Add as with whole numbers. Carry, if necessary. Step 3. Place the decimal point in the sum so that it is vertically aligned with

the decimal points of the addends.

Place the decimal point in the sum so that it is vertically aligned with the decimal points of the addends. Vertically align the decimal points. Insert a 0 as a placeholder to the right of the last digit after the decimal point in the second addend.

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE

KEEPING CHECKBOOK RECORDS Addition and subtraction of decimals is applied extensively when you do bookkeeping for monetary transactions such as balancing your checkbook. Making a deposit or earning interest in a checking account requires you to add to your checkbook balance. An addition to a checkbook balance is called a credit. Writing a check, making an ATM withdrawal, using a debit card, or incurring a service charge requires you to subtract from your checkbook balance. A subtraction from a checkbook balance is called a debit. Typically, checking account holders use a checkbook register to record transactions. An example of a checkbook register is shown below. The starting balance is located in the upper right corner. The individual transactions are listed by date, check number, description, and amount. The last column keeps a running balance of the amount in the checking account.

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Objective 3.3A

Multiply decimals

To understand how to multiply decimals, let’s consider (0.05)(0.009). To multiply these decimals, let’s first write each decimal as a fraction and then multiply. 0.05 ? 0.009 5 2 decimal places

5 9 45 ? 5 5 0.00045 100 1000 100,000

3 decimal places

5 decimal places

Notice that there are 2 decimal places in the first factor, 3 decimal places in the second factor, and 5 decimal places in the product. This example suggests that the number of decimal places in the product is equal to the sum of the number of decimal places in the factors. Given this, it is not necessary to write decimals as fractions before we multiply. We can use the following steps instead.

Steps for Multiplying Decimals Step 1. Multiply without regard to the decimal points. That is, multiply the

factors as though they are whole numbers. Step 2. Determine the total number of decimal places in both of the factors. Step 3. Place the decimal point in the resulting product so that the number

of places to the right of the decimal point is equal to the total determined in Step 2. If necessary, insert zeros as placeholders to get the correct number of decimal places. Any inserted zeros will be on the immediate right of the decimal point.

To demonstrate these steps, let’s multiply a number with three decimal places, say 0.111, by a number with one decimal place, say 0.3. 0.111 3 0.3 0.0333

3 decimal places 1 decimal place 4 decimal places

Insert a zero as a placeholder in the tenths place

Note that the resulting product will have four decimal places. A zero must be written in the tenths place as a placeholder.

Objective 3.3B

Multiply a decimal by a power of 10

When we multiply a decimal by powers of 10, certain patterns emerge. Consider the following. 45.281 3 10 00000 45281 452.810

45.281 3 100 00000 00000 45281 4528.100

The product is 452.81.

45.281 3 1000 00000 00000 00000 45281 45,281.000 The product is 4528.1. The product is 45,281.

Learning Tip In the problem 5.47 ? 0.2, there are a total of three decimal places. To insert the decimal point correctly, count backward three places from the right. 5.47 3 0.2 1.094

236

CHAPTER 3

Decimals

Notice that in each example above, the product involves the same digits as the factor 45.281. Moreover, note that the decimal point of the factor 45.281 is moved to the right in each successive product shown. In particular, the number of places the decimal moves to the right depends on the power of 10. 45.281 3 10 5 452.81 1 zero

Move the decimal point 1 place to the right.

45.281 3 100 5 4528.1 2 zeros

Move the decimal point 2 places to the right.

45.281 3 1000 5 45,281 3 zeros

Move the decimal point 3 places to the right.

These observations suggest the following rule.

Multiplying a Decimal by a Power of 10 such as 10, 100, 1000 . . . Move the decimal point to the right the same number of places as there are zeros in the power of 10. Insert zeros, as necessary.

The decimals 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, and so on are also powers of 10, but these are less than one. Let’s look at some products involving these. 45.281 45.281 45.281 3 0.1 3 0.01 3 0.001 4.5281 0.45281 0.045281 The product is 4.5281. The product is 0.45281. The product is 0.045281.

In each example, the product once again involves the same digits as the factor 45.281. This time, however, the decimal point of the factor 45.281 is moved to the left in each product. 45.281 3 0.1 5 4.5281 1 decimal place

Move the decimal point 1 place to the left.

45.281 3 0.01 5 0.45281 2 decimal places

Move the decimal point 2 places to the left.

45.281 3 0.001 5 0.045281 3 decimal places

Move the decimal point 3 places to the left.

The above examples suggest the following rule.

Multiplying a Decimal by a Power of 10 such as 0.1, 0.01, 0.001 . . . Move the decimal point to the left the same number of places as there are decimal places in the decimal power of 10. Insert zeros, as necessary.

3.3 Multiplying Decimals

EXAMPLE 2

Multiply a decimal by a power of 10

Multiply. a. (36.687)(10)

b. (0.827)(10,000)

c. (2.11)(0.1)

d. (0.95)(0.001)

SOLUTION STRATEGY a. (36.687)(10) 36.687

Because 10 has one zero, move the decimal point in 36.387 one place to the right.

366.87 b. (0.827)(10,000) 0.827 8270 c. (2.11)(0.1) 2.11

Because 10,000 has four zeros, move the decimal point in 0.827 four places to the right. Insert a zero in the empty space to the left of the decimal point. Because 0.1 has one decimal place, move the decimal point in 2.11 one place to the left.

0.211 d. (0.95)(0.001) 0.95 0.00095

Because 0.001 has three decimal places, move the decimal point in 0.95 three places to the left. Insert zeros in the empty spaces to the right of the decimal point.

Suppose you and two of your friends go to lunch, and the bill comes to $27.45. If the three of you decide to split the bill equally, then each person will owe $9.15. To figure this out, you could divide the dollar amount by 3 (27 dollars 4 3 5 9 dollars) and the cent amount by 3 (45 cents 4 3 5 15 cents). Alternatively, you could simply divide the decimal $27.45 by 3. In this section, we consider division problems involving decimals. Recall from Chapter 1 that the number being divided is called the dividend, the number by which it is divided is called the divisor, and the result of dividing numbers is called the quotient.

9 9 . But, since we can also write as 0.9, we could 10 10 alternatively write the result as the decimal 3.9. To obtain this decimal result directly from the long division, we write 39 as 39.0 and divide as we would whole numbers, placing the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend. We can write the result as 3

3.9 10q39.0 2 30 90 2 90 0

Note the decimal point in the quotient is placed directly above the decimal point in the dividend.

In general, use the following steps to divide a decimal by a whole number.

Steps for Dividing a Decimal by a Whole Number Step 1. Write the problem in long division format. Step 2. Divide as if working with whole numbers. Place the decimal point in

the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend. Step 3. If necessary, write additional zeros to the right of the last digit

following the decimal point in the dividend to allow the division to continue.

Divide as if working with whole numbers. Place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend.

Write the problem in long division form. Divide as if working with whole numbers. Place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend. Note that all of the digits of the dividend have been used, but the remainder is not 0.

Write a 0 after the 8 in the dividend to allow the division to continue.

Learning Tip In Example 1 part c, we included a 0 as a placeholder in the tenths place of the quotient. We did so because 3 does not divide into 2. (Remember, once the decimal point is recorded in the quotient, we divide as we do whole numbers.) Since 2 is in the tenths place of the dividend, we must place a 0 directly above it in the tenths place of the quotient. In general, whenever the divisor does not divide into a digit (or, for that matter, into a whole number named by a block of digits) in the dividend following the decimal point, we must place a 0 in the quotient directly above the digit (or the last digit in a block of digits) in the dividend. Examples: 0.04 9q0.36 9 does not divide 20 into 3. Place a 0 in 36 the quotient above 236 3 in the dividend. 0

Bring down the 0. Continue to divide.

Divide a decimal by a power of 10

In the previous section, we observed some shortcuts for multiplying a decimal by a power of 10. We now state similar shortcuts for dividing a decimal by a power of 10.

Dividing a Decimal by a Power of 10 such as 10, 100, 1000 . . . Move the decimal point in the dividend to the left the same number of places as there are zeros in the power of 10. Insert zeros, as necessary. Recall that the decimals 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, and so on are powers of 10 less than one. The following rule is used when we divide a decimal or whole number by one of these powers of 10.

Dividing a Decimal by a Power of 10 such as 0.1, 0.01, 0.001 . . . Move the decimal point in the dividend to the right the same number of places as there are decimal places in the decimal power of 10. Insert zeros, as necessary.

5.625 100 562.5 ? 5 5 562.5 4 45 0.45 100 45

From this, we see that the original division problem, 5.625 4 0.45, is equivalent to 562.5 4 45. We now perform the division. 12.5 45q562.5 2 45 112 2 90 225 2 225 0

100 5.625 by one in the form of , we effectively move the 0.45 100 decimal point two places to the right in both the divisor and dividend. In general, to divide a decimal or whole number by a decimal, we write an equivalent division problem with a whole number divisor. To do so, all we have to do is (1) move the decimal point in the divisor as many places to the right as necessary to get a whole number, and (2) move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places to the right. When we multiply

The following rules are used to divide a decimal or whole number by a decimal.

Steps for Dividing a Decimal or Whole Number by a Decimal Step 1. Write the problem in long division format. Step 2. Write an equivalent division problem with a whole number divisor.

In particular, move the decimal point in the divisor to the right as many places as necessary until the divisor is a whole number. Also, move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places to the right. Step 3. Divide. Place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the

moved decimal point in the dividend.

Learning Tip In a division problem involving decimals, the divisor is the key to any movement of the decimal point. Always move the decimal point in the divisor to the “end” of the divisor. Move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places to the right.

Estimate when dividing decimals

Just as when adding, subtracting, and multiplying decimals, we can estimate when dividing decimals to see whether an answer is reasonable.

EXAMPLE 4

Estimate when dividing decimals

Divide 96.9 4 9.5. Then estimate the quotient by rounding the dividend and divisor to one nonzero digit.

When rounding a quotient to the nearest tenth, we must carry the division out to the hundredths place. After all, the digit in the hundredths place “tells us what to do” with the digit in the tenths place. Remember, if the digit in the hundredths place is 4 or less, then we keep the digit in the tenths place. If, however, the digit in the hundredths place is 5 or more, then we increase the digit in the tenths place by one.

Real -World Connection Your GPA (grade point average) is an example of an average. It is calculated by assigning a value to each grade earned (such as A 5 4, B 5 3, C 5 2, and so on). Each value is then multiplied by the number of credits associated with the course in which you earned a particular grade. The sum of these products divided by the total number of credits earned is your GPA.

In Section 1.5, we learned that an average, or arithmetic mean, is the value obtained by dividing the sum of all the values in a data set by the number of values in the set. We found that an average is a convenient way to describe a large set of numbers with a single value. Here again are the steps for calculating an average.

Steps for Calculating an Average Step 1. Find the sum of all the values in the data set. Step 2. Divide the sum in Step 1 by the number of values in the set.

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE

In this section, we will review how to convert a terminating decimal to a fraction and learn how to convert a general fraction to a decimal. We will also learn how to perform calculations involving both fractions and decimals.

Convert a fraction to a decimal

Objective 3.5A

In Section 3.1, we learned how to convert a terminating decimal to a fraction. Here are some examples. 0.4 5

4 2 5 10 5

0.31 5

31 100

0.215 5

215 43 5 1000 200

Note that the numerator of each fraction is the whole number formed by the digits to the right of the decimal point. The denominator is the power of 10 that has as many zeros as places in the decimal number itself. We also learned how to convert a decimal fraction to a terminating decimal. Here are some examples. 7 5 0.7 10

2189 5 21.89 100

63 5 0.063 1000

Note that each decimal has as many places as zeros in the power of 10 in the denominator of the decimal fraction. We now turn our attention to converting general fractions to decimals. Specifically, we learn how to convert a non-decimal fraction (a fraction that does not have a power of 10 in the denominator) to a decimal. To do this, recall that in Chapter 2, we learned that the fraction bar can represent the operation of 1 division. Thus, the fraction can be thought of as “1 divided by 4.” Therefore, to 4 convert a fraction to a decimal, simply divide as we did in the previous section.

Rule for Converting a Fraction to a Decimal Divide the numerator by the denominator. If necessary, write additional zeros to the right of the last digit following the decimal point in the dividend to allow the division to continue. Also, if necessary, insert zeros as placeholders in the quotient to get the correct number of decimal places.

As an example, let’s convert the fraction

5 to a decimal. To do this, divide the 8

numerator, 5, by the denominator, 8. 0.625 8q5.000 2 48 20 2 16 40 2 40 0

In the dividend, write a decimal point followed by some zeros. The remainder is 2. Bring down the 0. The remainder is 4. Bring down the 0. The remainder is 0.

3.5 Working with Fractions and Decimals

In the example above, we eventually end up with a remainder of zero, and so the resulting quotient is a terminating decimal. But, as we shall now see, not all fractions have terminating decimal expansions. Indeed, sometimes a decimal continues indefinitely with one or more repeating digits. As an example, let’s convert the fraction

259

terminating decimal A decimal whose expansion ends.

1 to a decimal. To do this, divide the 3

numerator, 1, by the denominator, 3. 0.333c 3q1.000 29 10 29 10 29 1

In the dividend, write a decimal point followed by some zeros. The remainder is 1. Bring down the 0. The remainder is 1. Bring down the 0. The remainder is 1.

Notice that the remainder is always 1. Consequently, the digit 3 will continue to repeat in the quotient. To indicate that the 3 repeats indefinitely, we place a bar above the 3 in the tenths place. 1 5 0.333 c 5 0.3 3

A decimal whose expansion continues indefinitely with a repeating digit or a repeating block of digits is called a repeating decimal. EXAMPLE 1

Divide the numerator, 11, by the denominator, 12. In the dividend, insert a decimal point followed by some zeros. Divide. The remainder is always 8, and so the digit 6 repeats indefinitely in the quotient.

0.8181 c 5 0.81 e. 11q9.0000

Divide the numerator, 9, by the denominator, 11. In the dividend, insert a decimal point followed by some zeros. Divide.

2 88 20 2 11 90 2 88 20 2 11 9

The remainder always alternates between 2 and 9, and so the block of digits 81 repeats indefinitely in the quotient.

It is worth noting the decimal expansion of a fraction does one of two things: it either terminates or repeats. Example 1 parts a, b, and c illustrate fractions whose decimal expansions terminate, whereas parts d and e illustrate fractions whose decimal expansions repeat.

3.5 Working with Fractions and Decimals

Simplify an expression containing fractions and decimals using order of operations

Objective 3.5B

When an expression contains a mix of fractions and decimals, we can either convert the fractions to decimals, or we can convert the decimals to fractions. In general, if all of the decimals have terminating decimal expansions, then we convert the fractions to decimals or vice versa. If, on the other hand, the fractions have a repeating decimal expansion, then we prefer to convert the decimals to fractions in order to avoid rounding error. As an example, consider

1 1 ? 0.625. Since has a terminating decimal expansion 4 4

1 a 5 0.25b , we can calculate the product by either converting the fraction to a dec4 imal or vice versa. Let’s first calculate the product by converting the fraction to a decimal. 1 ? 0.625 5 0.25 ? 0.625 4 5 0.15625

Write both factors as decimals. Multiply the decimals.

Let’s now determine the product by converting the decimal to a fraction. 1 5 1 ? 0.625 5 ? 4 4 8 5 5 32

Write both factors as fractions. Multiply the fractions.

To verify that we obtained the same result, let’s convert 0.15625 32q5.00000

Thus,

5 to a decimal. 32

Divide the numerator, 5, by the denominator, 32.

5 5 0.15625. 32

1 An alternate way of calculating the product ? 0.625 is by writing 0.625 in frac4 0.625 tion notation as . 1 1 0.625 0.625 ? 5 4 1 4 5 0.15625

Multiply. Divide.

Notice that we get the same answer as above.

Often, expressions containing fractions and decimals will have more than one operation. When multiple operations are present, we must simplify the expression using order of operations. Once again, here are the rules.

Order of Operations Step 1. Perform all operations within grouping symbols: parentheses ( ),

brackets [ ], and curly braces { }. When grouping symbols occur within grouping symbols, begin with the innermost grouping symbols. Step 2. Evaluate all exponential expressions. Step 3. Perform all multiplications and divisions as they appear in reading

from left to right. Step 4. Perform all additions and subtractions as they appear in reading

from left to right.

s the health care needs of baby boomers swell and as the current nursing population continues to age, the demand for skilled nurses is greater than ever. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment opportunities for registered nurses are expected to grow by more than 22% through 2018.1 In May 2008, the median annual income of a registered nurse was $62,450. With the continued demand for skilled nursing care, one can expect the salaries of qualified nurses to increase as well.

A

While nurses are often thought of as assistants to doctors who merely follow orders, they are medical professionals in their own right with great responsibilities. Not only do nurses treat patients and provide advice and emotional support to both patients and family members, they also perform diagnostic tests, analyze results, and administer medications.2 Nurses generally specialize in a particular field such as pediatrics or cardiology. In performing tasks such as administering medications, nurses must understand ratios and proportions. If a patient requires 400mg of a medication that comes in 150mg tablets, a nurse must be able to determine the correct number of tablets to administer. If he or she cannot perform this basic calculation, the consequences can be life-threatening. In this chapter, we will see how ratios and proportions are essential to such a calculation. 1,2

It is often said, “You can’t compare apples and oranges.” Well, with certain ratios, you can!

A. Write and simplify a ratio B. Write a ratio of converted measurement units C.

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE

ratio A comparison of two quantities by division. terms of the ratio The quantities being compared.

A ratio is a comparison of two quantities by division. Thus, given two numbers a a and b, the ratio of a to b can be written as . The quantities being compared are b known as the terms of the ratio. If you had 3 apples and 2 oranges, then the ratio 3 of apples to oranges is . If there are 12 females and 13 males in a biology class, 2 12 then the ratio of females to males is . 13 In this section, we will learn various ways to write ratios, how to simplify them, and how to use ratios to express quantity relationships. Later in the chapter, we will use two ratios in a statement called a proportion to solve some interesting application problems.

Objective 4.1A

LearningTip The terms of a ratio can be separated by a colon. Note that a colon (:) is a modified version of the division sign ( 4 ). In fact, in some countries, the colon is the standard symbol used to represent division.

Write and simplify a ratio

a While the ratio of a to b is generally written in fraction notation as , we can also b denote this ratio as a:b or by a to b. Thus, a ratio may be written in fraction notation, as two numbers separated by a colon, or as two numbers separated by the word to. The ratio of three apples to two oranges, for instance, can be written in any of the following ways. 3 2

3:2

3 to 2

Our ratio of 12 females to 13 males in a biology class can be written in one of three formats. 12 13

12:13

12 to 13

In a ratio, the order of the terms is important. The number mentioned first is the numerator of the fraction, the number before the colon, or the number before the word to. The number mentioned second is the denominator of the fraction, the number after the colon, or the number after the word to. A ratio may express the relationship of a part to a whole, or it may express the relationship of a part to another part. In our example of 12 females and 13 males in the biology class, our ratio of females to males, 12 to 13, expresses a part to a part ratio. However, because females and males are both parts of the whole class of

A ratio can be simplified or reduced to lowest terms. This often allows us to see the comparison more clearly. The procedure for simplifying a ratio involving whole numbers is the same as that used for simplifying a fraction. We simply divide out common factors between the first term and the second term. Let’s say, for example, that a new assembly line process makes 88 widgets per hour, whereas the old process made 22 widgets per hour. The ratio of the new process to the old process is 88 to 22. We express this ratio as follows. 88 22

Dividing out the common factor, 22, we see that the ratio reduces to 4 to 1. 4

88 4 88 5 5 22 1 22 1

Learning Tip Whenever we write a ratio, we want to see the comparison of two quantities. In our example, the ratio of 88 to 22 simplifies to the ratio of 4 to 1. In fraction notation, we write this simplified ratio as 4 . Because this is a ratio, we 1 4 do not write to

as just 4. If 1 we did so, then we would have just one quantity rather than two quantities.

290

CHAPTER 4

Ratio and Proportion

From this, we could say that the new process makes 4 widgets for every 1 widget made by the old process. Another way to express this information is that the new process is 4 times as fast as the old process.

4.1 Understanding Ratios

SIMPLIFY A RATIO THAT CONTAINS DECIMALS Not all ratios involve whole numbers. For a ratio that contains decimals, write the ratio in fraction notation and then rewrite as a ratio of whole numbers. This is n done by multiplying the ratio by 1 in the form , where n is a power of 10 large n enough to remove any decimals in both the numerator and the denominator. Simplify the ratio, if possible. For example, the ratio of 2.8 to 5.6 simplifies to 1 to 2. 1

2.8 1 10 28 2.8 to 5.6 5 5 ? 5 5.6 10 56 2 2

Steps for Simplifying a Ratio That Contains Decimals Step 1. Write the ratio in fraction notation. Step 2. Rewrite as a ratio of whole numbers. To do so, multiply the ratio by 1

n in the form , where n is a power of 10 large enough to remove any n decimals in both the numerator and the denominator.

Write a ratio of converted measurement units

Let’s say that a speed limit sign is 36 inches high and 24 inches wide. We can write the simplified ratio of the height to the width. height 36 3 5 5 width 24 2

4.1 Understanding Ratios

293

What if the information listed the height of the speed limit sign as 3 feet and the width as 24 inches? In ratios that compare measurement, the units must be the same. In this case, we are given different units, feet and inches. When this occurs, we must rewrite the terms of the ratio using the same units. Table 4.1, Measurement Conversion Tables, lists some familiar measurement equivalents for time, volume, length, and weight. Use these values to write a ratio with terms expressed in the same units. These and other tables will be used more extensively in Chapter 6, Measurement.

24 in.

3 ft

From the “Length” category in Table 4.1, we find the conversion equivalent. 1 foot 5 12 inches

With this information, we can write the ratio of the speed limit sign dimensions in either feet or inches. Let’s do both. Ratio in feet: Because 12 inches 5 1 foot, 24 inches 5 2 feet. To determine this, multiply both sides of the equation 12 inches 5 1 foot by 2. 2 # 12 inches 5 2 # 1 foot 1 24 inches 5 2 feet

Thus, the ratio of 3 feet to 24 inches can be written as follows. 3 feet 3 feet 3 Height 5 5 5 Width 24 inches 2 feet 2 Ratio in inches: Because 1 foot 5 12 inches, 3 feet 5 36 inches. To determine this, multiply both sides of the equation 1 foot = 12 inches by 3. 3 # 1 foot 5 3 # 12 inches 1 3 feet 5 36 inches

Thus, the ratio of 3 feet to 24 inches can be written as follows. Height 3 feet 36 inches 36 3 5 5 5 5 Width 24 inches 24 inches 24 2 Although the simplified ratio will be the same either way, as a general rule, it is easier to write the ratio with values in terms of the smaller measurement units.

4.2 Working with Rates and Units

4.2 WORKING WITH RATES AND UNITS In this section, we will learn about a special type of ratio known as a rate. A rate is a ratio that compares two quantities that have different kinds of units. Two common rates are unit rates and unit prices. Rates are a common way of comparing two quantities with different kinds of units that relate to each other. Some familiar examples of these are miles per hour, calories per serving, and price per unit. These are examples of comparisons that we see and use every day. As with ratios, rates can be written in fraction notation and then simplified to lowest terms.

Write and interpret a rate

Objective 4.2A

Rates are written in fraction notation with the units included. We include the units because they are different kinds and therefore do not divide out. For example, last week a freight train in the Rocky Mountains traveled 850 miles in 4 days. In this comparison, we have two quantities with different kinds of units, units of distance (850 miles) and units of time (4 days). The distance to time rate for the train would be written in fraction notation and simplified by dividing out the common factor, 2.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES A. Write and interpret a rate B. Write a unit rate C. Write a unit price D.

Learning Tip Remember, when the units are the same, they divide out and are not written.

425

850 miles 425 miles Distance 5 5 4 days 2 days Time 2

It is important to keep in mind what “comparative fact” the rate is actually stating. In our train example, we can state the rate as follows. On this trip, the train averaged 425 miles every 2 days.

Write a unit rate

Objective 4.2B unit rate A rate in which the number in the denominator is 1.

A unit rate is a rate in which the number in the denominator is 1. A common example would be miles per gallon. Let’s say that a car travels 160 miles on 8 gallons of fuel. Our unit rate would be written as a fraction and then simplified by dividing out the common factor, 8.

Learning Tip The word per means “for every.” Note that “20 miles for every 1 gallon” is written as “20 miles per gallon” and abbreviated as “20 mpg.”

20

20 miles 160 miles 5 8 gallons 1 gallon 1

This unit rate would be expressed as follows. 20 miles per gallon

or

20 miles/gallon

or

20 mpg

In general, we write a unit rate using the following steps.

Steps for Writing a Unit Rate Step 1. Write the rate in fraction notation with the units included. Step 2. Divide the numerator by the denominator. Step 3. Round as specified, if necessary.

Objective 4.2C

Write a unit price

A common application of unit rate is unit price. A unit price is a unit rate expressed as price per single item or single measure of something. It tells us the “price per item” or “price per measure” of a particular product or service. For example, Food Fair sells a 16-ounce package of imported penne pasta for $3.59. What is the unit price per ounce?

unit price A unit rate expressed as price per single item or single measure of something.

306

CHAPTER 4

Real -World Connection Retail Buying Decision Unit price is an important consideration when comparing merchandise to be carried in a retail store. A few cents difference in unit price can often mean a big difference in company sales revenue and profits.

Ratio and Proportion

To calculate the unit price of the pasta, we set up the ratio of the price to the number of ounces. We then divide and round to the nearest cent. Unit price 5

Price $3.59 $0.22 5 5 Number of units 16 ounces 1 ounce

The unit price is $0.22 per ounce.

Steps for Writing a Unit Price Step 1. Write the rate in fraction notation with the price as the numerator

and the quantity (number of items or units) as the denominator. Step 2. Divide the numerator by the denominator. Step 3. Round to the nearest cent, if necessary.

EXAMPLE 4

Write a unit price

Calculate the unit price for each. Round to the nearest cent, if necessary. a. 3 light bulbs for $4.80

b. a dozen eggs for $1.77

SOLUTION STRATEGY Write the rate in fraction notation with the price, $4.80, as the numerator, and the quantity, 3 bulbs, as the denominator.

a. 3 light bulbs for $4.80 $1.60 $4.80 5 3 bulbs 1 bulb

Divide the numerator by the denominator. No rounding is necessary.

$1.60 per bulb b. a dozen eggs for $1.77 $1.77 $0.1475 $0.15 5 < 12 1 egg 1 egg

Real -World Connection Carat A carat (ct.) is a standard measure of weight used for gemstones or pure gold. One carat weighs 0.2 gram (1/5 of a gram or 0.0007 ounce). A hundredth of a carat is called a point.

Approximately $0.15 per egg.

Write the rate in fraction notation with the price, $1.77, as the numerator, and the quantity, 12 eggs, as the denominator. Divide the numerator by the denominator. Round to the nearest cent.

4.3 UNDERSTANDING AND SOLVING PROPORTIONS In this section, we will add to our knowledge of ratios the concept of proportion. A proportion is used to show the “equality” relationship between two ratios. When two ratios are equal, we say that they are “proportional,” or “in proportion” to each other. For example, at Cookies Galore, 2 cookies cost $0.25. This rate is written as follows.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES A. Write a proportion B. Determine whether two ratios are proportional C. Solve a proportion D.

$0.25 2 cookies

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE

At this rate, we can readily see that 4 cookies would cost $0.50. That rate is written as follows. $0.50 4 cookies

Because these rates are equal (they are just written with a different set of numbers), we can write them in a mathematical statement known as a proportion. $0.25 $0.50 5 2 cookies 4 cookies

The proportion is read as follows. $0.25 is to 2 cookies as $0.50 is to 4 cookies

Determine whether two ratios are proportional

By definition, a proportion is a mathematical statement showing that two ratios are equal. For example, we can readily see that 5 to 10 and 10 to 20 are “proportional” ratios, that is, they are equal. 5 10 5 10 20

Sometimes the equality of two ratios is not so obvious. Consider the ratios 8 to 12 and 14 to 21. Are these two ratios proportional? 8 14 0 12 21

A way of verifying whether these two ratios are proportional is by determining whether their cross products are equal. To compute the cross products, multiply the denominator of the first ratio, 12, by the numerator of the second ratio, 14; then multiply the numerator of the first ratio, 8, by the denominator of the second ratio, 21. 8 12

CHAPTER 4

Ratio and Proportion

Steps for Determining Whether Two Ratios Are Proportional Using Cross Products Step 1. Multiply the denominator of the first ratio by the numerator of the

second ratio. Step 2. Multiply the numerator of the first ratio by the denominator of the

second ratio. Step 3. Determine whether or not the cross products are equal.

• If the cross products are equal, the ratios are proportional, and we can write a proportion. • If the cross products are not equal, the ratios are not proportional, and we cannot write a proportion.

Solve a proportion

When one of the terms of a proportion is unknown, we can “solve” the proportion for that term. The solution is the value of the unknown that makes the proportion true. Proportions can be solved using cross multiplication. Consider this proportion. 1 is to 3 as an unknown number is to 60 x 1 5 3 60

Note that the numerator of the second ratio is unknown. We represent this unknown quantity with a letter of the alphabet, x. A letter or some other symbol that represents a number whose value is unknown is called a variable. To solve the proportion means to find the value of the variable that makes the proportion true. We begin by finding the cross products. 3 ? x 5 3x 1 x 5 3 60

CHAPTER 4

Learning Tip We divide both sides of the equation to maintain the “equality” of the equation.

Ratio and Proportion

In a proportion, the cross products are equal, so we can write the following. 3x 5 60

To isolate the variable, x, on one side of the equation, we divide both sides of the equation by 12, the number that multiplies x. We then simplify. 60 3x 5 3 3 1

A. Write a proportion (page 313)

proportion A mathematical statement showing that two ratios are equal.

Write each sentence as a proportion.

c a If and are equal ratios, their b d a c proportion is written as 5 . b d

a. 12 is to 23 as 48 is to 92. 48 12 5 23 92 b. 58 roses is to 3 bouquets as 174 roses is to 9 bouquets. 58 roses 174 roses 5 3 bouquets 9 bouquets

It is read as

“a is to b as c is to d.”

Write each proportion as a sentence. a.

b.

10 hot air balloons 2 hot air balloons 5 7 passengers 35 passengers 2 hot air balloons is to 7 passengers as 10 hot air balloons is to 35 passengers.

B. Determine whether two ratios are proportional (page 315)

To verify whether two ratios are proportional, use the cross multiplication procedure learned in Section 2.6.

Determine whether the ratios are proportional. If they are, write a corresponding proportion.

Determining Whether Two Ratios Are Proportional Using Cross Products

a.

13 2.6 0 25 5 25 ? 2.6 5 65

Step 1. Multiply the denominator of the first ratio by the numerator of the second ratio.

13 25

Step 2. Multiply the numerator of the first ratio by the denominator of the second ratio.

The cross products are equal (65 5 65). Therefore, the ratios are proportional and we can write a proportion.

Step 3. Determine whether or not the cross products are equal. • If the cross products are equal, the ratios are proportional, and we can write a proportion. • If the cross products are not equal, the ratios are not proportional, and we cannot write a proportion. As a general rule for proportions, for b Z 0 and d Z 0, if

a c 5 then bc 5 ad. b d

ccording to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, atmospheric scientists, also known as meteorologists, study the atmosphere’s physical characteristics, motions, and processes.1 Using sophisticated mathematical models and computers, atmospheric scientists study the connections between the atmosphere and our environment. In recent years, they have paid particular attention to climate trends, particularly global warming. Effects of global warming include increased risk of drought and wildfire, more intense storms and hurricanes, and glacial melting.

A

In analyzing the consequences of global warming, atmospheric scientists often use percents. For example, they note that an Antarctic ice shelf larger than the state of Rhode Island has shrunk by nearly 40% since 1995.2 They also have observed that annual precipitation has increased by up to 10% across the United States since the beginning of the 20th century. Perhaps atmospheric scientists are best known for local, short-term weather prediction. You have almost certainly heard a meteorologist say something like, “There is a 30% chance of rain tonight,” or “The humidity stands at 81%.” In this chapter, we will learn about percents. We will also focus on solving practical application problems that involve percents. 1 from 2from

5.1 INTRODUCTION TO PERCENTS LEARNING OBJECTIVES A. Convert a percent to a fraction or a decimal B. Convert a decimal, a fraction, or a whole number to a percent C.

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Percents are used frequently in our everyday lives. Here are some examples. • The Centers for Disease Control anticipates a 12% increase in flu cases this season. • Apple, Inc. stock jumps 5% on news that the company will produce the next generation iPad. • The polar ice caps are shrinking at a rate of 9% each decade. • Oil and gas production fell by 8.2% in the fourth quarter last year. It takes only a glance at a newspaper to see that percents are used to describe many situations. In this section, we investigate percents and discuss various ways of representing them.

Objective 5.1A percent A ratio of a part to 100. percent sign The % symbol.

Convert a percent to a fraction or a decimal

The word percent comes from the Latin phrase per centum, which translates as per hundred. Thus, a percent is a ratio of a part to 100. The % symbol is called the percent 41 sign. As an example, 41% represents the ratio . We say that 41% of the figure 100 below is shaded.

Rule for Converting a Percent to a Fraction

Learning Tip Recall that a fraction is a a number of the form , where b a and b are whole numbers and where b is not zero. Not all ratios are fractions, since not all ratios have whole numbers in the numerator and denominator.

Write the number preceding the percent sign over 100. Manipulate the ratio to get a whole number in the numerator, if necessary. Simplify the resulting fraction, if possible.

Percents

3 3 4 In the part e of Example 1, we wrote % as . To simplify this ratio, we must 4 100 3 divide the numerator by the denominator. In this example, we divide by100. 4 3 To perform this division problem, we multiply by the reciprocal of 100, namely, 4 3 1 . When we do this, we obtain the fraction . 100 400 The last example points to an important fact: dividing by 100 is the same as 1 1 multiplying by . Therefore, n% 5 n ? . As an example, consider 27%. 100 100 27% 5

Furthermore, the fraction

Problems involving percents can be solved by two different methods. In this section, we will use equations to solve percent problems. In Section 5.3, we will use proportions. Objective 5.2A

Write a percent problem as an equation

On a recent math test, 25% of the students got an A. If 40 students took the test, how many received an A? To determine the number of students who earned an A, we must answer the following question. What is 25% of 40?

This is an example of a percent problem. In order to solve this problem, we can translate this statement into an equation. Recall that is translates to equals, and of translates to the operation multiplication. We choose the variable x to represent the unknown number. x 5 25% ? 40

Since 25% 5 0.25, we can re-write our equation as x 5 0.25 ? 40. When we multiply, we find that x 5 10. Thus, 10 out of the 40 students received an A on the exam. EXAMPLE 1

Solve a percent equation

Now that we have had some practice writing a percent problem as an equation, let’s turn our attention to solving them. Notice that each equation has three quantities. In each example above, two of the quantities are known and one is unknown. Each quantity is given a special name. In the following example, we show the name associated with each quantity. 10 is 25% of 40 10 Amount percent equation An equation of the form Amount 5 Percent ? Base. base In a percent problem, the quantity that represents the total. amount In a percent problem, the quantity that represents a portion of the total.

Learning Tip

5 5

25% Percent

? ?

40 Base

An equation of the form Amount 5 Percent ? Base is called a percent equation. The base is the quantity that represents the total. The amount is the quantity that represents a portion of the total. Referring to our earlier example, the base is 40, since a total of 40 students took the exam, and the amount is 10, since 10 is the portion of the total number of students who earned an A. Since the base represents the total, it is the number that we are seeking a portion “of.” Thus, the base always follows the word “of.” The percent is easily distinguished by the percent sign. The amount is the remaining quantity. The amount is generally associated with the word “is.” Once a percent problem has been written as a percent equation, we use the equation to find the unknown. This is called solving the equation. In solving a percent equation, we always write the percent as a fraction or a decimal. The next examples demonstrate this.

When using the percent equation to solve for the base or amount, the percent must be converted to a decimal.

EXAMPLE 4

When using the percent equation to solve for the percent, the answer will be a decimal or a fraction and must be converted to a percent.

b

5 30

Converting the percent to a decimal, the equation is written as follows. 0.25 ? b 5 30

Learning Tip 0.25 ? b is the same as 0.25b.

Notice that b is multiplied by 0.25. To solve for b, we must divide both sides of the equation by 0.25. 0.25b 30 5 0.25 0.25

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.25.

b 5 120

Thus, 25% of 120 is 30. In general, to solve a percent equation for the base, divide both sides of the equation by the decimal equivalent of the given percent.

Learning Tip When solving for the base, we may also use a variation of the percent equation. Base 5

EXAMPLE 10 Solve an applied percent problem using an equation At La Mirage Boutique, 30% of sales are charged on credit cards. If the store had $23,500 in total sales last week, how much was charged on credit cards?

SOLUTION STRATEGY

In this problem, we want to find how much was charged on credit cards. Therefore, the amount is unknown. The rate is 30%. The base (total sales) is $23,500.

What number is 30% of 23,500? t 5 30% ? 23,500

Learning Tip In Example 10, the amount is unknown. However, when speaking, we do not say the amount of total sales. Rather, we say the number of total sales. In general , the word amount is used to reference things we cannot enumerate, while the word number is used to reference things that we can. For instance, we would say the amount of sugar or the amount of sand (neither sugar nor sand can be counted). We would say the number of people or the number of dollars (both people and dollars can be counted). Nevertheless, we shall continue the practice of using the term amount in percent problems to describe the part of the whole.

5.3 SOLVE PERCENT PROBLEMS USING PROPORTIONS LEARNING OBJECTIVES A. Write a percent problem as a proportion B. Solve a percent proportion C.

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE

In Section 5.2, we learned to solve a percent problem by writing and solving a percent equation. In this section, we will solve a percent problem using a proportion.

Objective 5.3A

Write a percent problem as a proportion

In Section 5.2, we learned that a percent equation is an equation of the following form. Amount 5 Percent ? Base

If we wanted to solve this equation for the percent, we would do so by dividing both sides by the base. When we do this, we obtain the following. Amount Base

5 Percent

But, recall that a percent is a ratio of a part to 100. Thus, if we write Percent 5 we can rewrite the above equation as follows. Amount Base percent proportion A proportion of the form Part Amount . 5 Base 100

5

Part 100

,

Part 100

The last equation is a proportion know an as a percent proportion. Given a percent problem, we can write and solve a percent proportion by following these steps.

Steps to Write and Solve a Percent Problem as a Proportion Step 1. Identify the amount, base, and part. Step 2. Assign a variable to the unknown. Substitute the known quantities

and the variable in the percent proportion. Step 3. Simplify the ratios in the percent proportion, if possible. Step 4. Cross multiply to find the cross products. Set the cross products

equal. Step 5. Divide both sides of the equation by the number that multiplies the

variable.

We now consider some examples of writing a percent proportion.

5.4 SOLVE PERCENT APPLICATION PROBLEMS LEARNING OBJECTIVES

In Section 5.1, we noted that percents are used frequently in our daily lives. In this section, we will consider some common applications of percents.

A. Calculate percent change B. Calculate sales tax, tip, commission, and discount C. Calculate the amount or base in a percent change situation D.

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Objective 5.4A

Calculate percent change

Percents are often used to express how much a quantity changes. When a quantity increases, the percent change is referred to as a percent increase. When a quantity decreases, the percent change is referred to as a percent decrease. Suppose that a clothing boutique had sales of $8000 on Monday. On Tuesday, sales were $10,000. Since Tuesday’s sales were greater than Monday’s, we can calculate the percent increase. To do this, we find the change by subtracting Monday’s sales, $8000, from Tuesday’s, $10,000. $10,000 2 $8000 5 $2000

5.4 Solve Percent Application Problems

Since we want to find the percent change (in this case, a percent increase), we must determine what part of the original $8000 the change represents. That is, we must solve the following percent problem. 2000 is what percent of 8000?

Note that the original amount ($8000) is the base, the change ($2000) is the amount, and the percent is unknown. There are two ways to solve for the percent. On one hand, we can write and solve a percent equation. 2000 5 p ? 8000 8000p 2000 5 8000 8000 0.25 5 p 25% 5 p

Use the equation Amount 5 Percent ? Base Use p to represent the percent. Divide both sides by 8000. Convert the decimal to a percent.

Alternatively, we can write and solve a percent proportion. 2000 p 5 8000 100

Amount Part 5 . Base 100 Use p to represent the part.

Substitute into the formula

4?p p 1 5 4 100 4p 5 100 4p 100 5 4 4 p 5 25

Simplify

2000 . Cross multiply. 8000

100

Set the cross products equal. Divide both sides of the equation by 4. Solve for p. Since p represents the part per 100, the percent change is 25%.

In either case, we find that boutique sales increased by 25% from Monday to Tuesday. In calculating the percent change, we ultimately divide the change amount by the original amount (that is, the amount we are changing from). change amount original amount

S S

2000 5 0.25 5 25% 8000

Continuing with the boutique example, suppose that sales were $7000 on Wednesday. Since Wednesday’s sales were less than Tuesday’s, we can calculate the percent decrease. To do so, we find the change by subtracting Wednesday’s sales, $7000, from Tuesday’s, $10,000. $10,000 2 $7000 5 $3000

Once again, the base is the number of dollars that we are changing from ($10,000), the amount is the change amount ($3000), and the percent is unknown. To solve for the percent, we can either write an equation or a percent proportion. But, as noted above, we can find the percent change by simply dividing the change amount by the original amount. change amount original amount

S S

3000 5 0.3 5 30% 10,000

Learning Tip In a percent change problem, the base is always the original amount (that is, the amount we are changing from), and the amount is always the change (either an increase or a decrease).

Thus, the boutique sales decreased by 30% from Tuesday to Wednesday. In general, to calculate the percent change, use the following steps.

Learning Tip To find the change amount in a percent increase or percent decrease situation, simply subtract the smaller amount from the larger amount.

Steps for Finding the Percent Change Step 1. Find the change amount.

a. If a quantity increases, subtract the original quantity from the new quantity. b. If a quantity decreases, subtract the new quantity from the original quantity. Step 2. Divide the change amount from Step 1 by the original quantity.

Convert the result to a percent. In general, use the following formula and convert the quotient to a percent. Percent change 5

Calculate sales tax, tip, commission, and discount

Objective 5.4B

How much is an iPhone with sales tax? How much is a dinner tab including tip? How much is a shirt after a discount? These common situations require us to find a new amount when an original amount and a percent change are known. As an example, suppose that your dinner bill at a restaurant is $54.00. If you want to give your server an 18% tip, how much money do you leave? To determine this, you must first answer the question, “What is 18% of $54.00?”

A standard tip for good restaurant service is between 18% and 22%.

What is 18% of $54 a 5 18% ? $54

Now, we solve for a. a 5 0.18 ? $54 a 5 $9.72

Write 18% as a decimal. Multiply.

Alternatively, we can write a percent proportion. In this problem, the amount is the tip, the part is 18, and the base is $54. 18 a 5 $54 100

In either case, the tip is $9.72. To figure out how much to leave, add the dinner bill and the tip. Total 5 $54 1 $9.72 5 $63.72

As another example, suppose that you want to buy a coat that is 20% off. If the coat normally costs $200, how much would you pay with the discount? To determine the new price, you must first figure out the discount by answering the question, “What is 20% of $200?”. What is 20% of 200 a 5 20% ? 200

Now, we solve for a. a 5 0.2 ? $200 a 5 $40

Calculate the amount or base in a percent change situation

Objective 5.4C

Calculating tip, sales tax, commission, and discount are particular examples of problems that require us to find a new amount when an original amount and a percent change are known. We now consider an alternate, more general approach to such problems. As an example, suppose that a town of 40,000 people is expected to experience a 6% increase in population next year. The new population will be the total of the current population (which represents 100% of the people) and the amount of increase (6%). Thus, the new population will be 106% (100% 1 6%) of the current population. To determine this new population, we must answer the question, “What is 106% of 40,000?” What is 106% of 40,000? a 5 106% ? 40,000

Next, we solve for a. a 5 (1.06) (40,000) a 5 42,400

Write 106% as 1.06. Multiply.

Alternatively, we can write and solve a percent proportion. 106 a 5 40,000 100

Substitute into the formula

Part Amount 5 . Base 100

Set the cross products equal. Divide both sides of the equation by 50. Solve for a.

In either case, the population of the town is expected to be 42,400. Let’s now suppose that a town of 40,000 is expected to experience a 6% decrease in population next year. The new population will be the difference between the current population (which represents 100% of the people) and the amount of decrease (6%). Thus, the new population will be 94% (100% 2 6%) of the current population. To determine this new population, we must answer the question, “What is 94% of 40,000?” What is 94% of 40,000? a 5 94% ? 40,000

Next, we solve for a. a 5 (0.94) (40,000) a 5 37,600

Write 94% as 0.94. Multiply.

Learning Tip If the rate of change is an increase, then add the percent change to 100%. If the rate of change is a decrease, then subtract the percent change from 100%.

CHAPTER 5

Percents

Alternatively, we can write and solve a percent proportion. In either case, the population of the town is expected to be 37,600. In general, we use these steps to calculate a new amount after a percent change.

Steps for Calculating the New Amount After a Percent Change Step 1. If the quantity increases, add the percent increase to 100%. If the

quantity decreases, subtract the percent decrease from 100%. Step 2. Solve for the new amount by solving either a percent equation or

a percent proportion involving the percent from Step 1 and the original amount (the base).

EXAMPLE 6

Calculate a new amount after a percent change

a. What is 600 increased by 22%?

Learning Tip If the percent change is an increase, then add the percent change to 100%. If the percent change is a decrease, then subtract the percent change from 100%.

b. What is 80 decreased by 40%?

SOLUTION STRATEGY a. 100% 1 22% 5 122%

Since 600 is increased by 22%, add 22% to 100% to determine the percent. State the problem in words. Note that the original amount, 600, is the base and the new amount is the amount. Write as a percent equation. Convert the percent, 122%, to a decimal, 1.22.

What is 122% of 600? a 5 1.22

? 600

a 5 732 600 increased by 22% is 732.

Since 80 is decreased by 40%, subtract 40% from 100% to determine the percent.

b. 100% 2 40% 5 60%

State the problem in words. Note that the original amount, 80, is the base and the new amount is the amount. Write as a percent equation. Convert the percent, 60%, to a decimal, 0.6.

What is 60% of 80? a 5 0.6

Another common situation involving percent change is when the new amount is known but the original amount is unknown. As an example, suppose that after a 25% load increase, a truck weighed 25,000 pounds. What was the original weight of the truck before the load increase?

5.4 Solve Percent Application Problems

401

Because the load increased 25%, the new load is 125% (100% 1 25%) of the original load. To determine the original load, we must answer the question, “25,000 is 125% of what?” 25,000 is 125% of what? 25,000 5 125% ?

b

Next, we solve for b. 25,000 5 1.25 ? b

Write 125% as 1.25.

1.25b 25,000 5 1.25 1.25

Divide both sides by 1.25.

20,000 5 b

Thus, the weight of the truck before the load increase was 20,000 pounds. Alternatively, we can write and solve a percent proportion. In either case, we get the same result. In general, we use these steps to calculate the original amount before a percent change.

Steps for Calculating the Original Amount Before a Percent Change Step 1. If the quantity increases, add the percent increase to 100%.

If the quantity decreases, subtract the percent decrease from 100%. Step 2. Solve for the original amount (the base) by solving either a percent

equation or a percent proportion involving the percent from Step 1 and the new amount.

EXAMPLE 7

Calculate the original amount before a percent change

a. A number decreased 25% to 37,500. What was the original number? b. A number increased 8% to 270. What was the original number?

Since a number decreased 25%, subtract 25% from 100% to determine the percent. State the problem in words. Note that 37,500 is the amount and the original number is the base. Write as a percent equation. Convert the percent, 75%, to a decimal, 0.75. Divide both sides of the equation by 0.75.

Steps for Finding the Percent Change

If a number changes from 500 to 760, what is the percent increase?

Step 1. Find the change amount. a. If a quantity increases, subtract the original quantity from the new quantity. b. If a quantity decreases, subtract the new quantity from the original quantity. Step 2. Divide the change amount from Step 1 by the original quantity. Convert the result to a percent. In general, use the following formula and convert the quotient to a percent.

760 2 500 5 260 Percent change 5

260 5 0.52 5 52% 500

What is 722 decreased by 50%?

Step 1. If the quantity increases, add the percent increase to 100%.

What is 50% of 722?

If the quantity decreases, subtract the percent decrease from 100%. Step 2. Solve for the new amount by solving either a percent equation or a percent proportion involving the percent from Step 1 and the original amount (the base). Steps for Calculating the Original Amount Before a Percent Change Step 1. If the quantity increases, add the percent increase to 100%. If the quantity decreases, subtract the percent decrease from 100%. Step 2.

Qualifying for a Mortgage A mortgage is a loan in which real estate is used as security for a debt. Mortgages are the most popular method of financing real estate purchases. Mortgages today fall into one of three categories: FHA insured, VA guaranteed, and conventional. • The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is a government agency within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that sets construction standards and insures residential mortgage loans. • VA mortgages are long-term, low down payment home loans made to eligible veterans and guaranteed by the Veterans Administration in the event of a default. • Conventional mortgage loans are real estate loans made by private lenders that are not FHA insured or VA guaranteed. Mortgage lenders use lending ratios to determine whether borrowers have the economic ability to repay the loan. FHA, VA, and conventional lenders all use monthly gross income as the “base” for calculating these ratios. Two important ratios used for this purpose are the housing expense ratio and the total obligations ratio. These ratios are expressed as percents. In each formula below, the ratio represents the percent, the monthly housing expense and total obligations represent the amount, and the monthly gross income represents the base.

Surveyor urveyors measure distances between points on, above, and below the earth’s surface. Using these measurements, surveyors write descriptions of land for deeds, leases, and other legal documents. Their measurements are also used in preparing plots, maps, and reports.

S

In taking measurements, surveyors must be able to work with different measurement systems. For example, they must be familiar with feet and miles as well as with meters and kilometers. Moreover, they must be able to convert between different measurement units. In this chapter, we investigate two different measurement systems, the U.S. customary system and the metric system. We will investigate units of length, weight, and capacity in each measurement system. We will also learn how to convert between measurement units. 423

Measurements provide us with one of the main connections between mathematics and our physical world. A measure is a number together with a unit assigned to something to represent its size or magnitude. Currently, two different systems of measurement are used in the United States—the U.S. Customary System and the metric system. The U.S. Customary System or English System is a system of weights and measures that uses units such as inches, feet, and yards to measure length; pounds and tons to measure weight; and pints, quarts, and gallons to measure capacity. It is frequently referred to as the U.S. system. The Standard International Metric System, known more commonly as the metric system, is a decimal-based system of weights and measures that uses a series of prefixes representing powers of 10. The basic units of the metric system are meters for length, grams for weight or mass, and liters for capacity. The metric system is used nearly worldwide and accepted on a limited basis in the United States. In today’s global economy, a working knowledge of both systems has become an important skill for those seeking employment. In this section, we discuss the U.S. Customary System. In Section 6.3, we’ll investigate the metric system. Objective 6.1A

Convert between U.S. units of length

Length is measured using a ruler, a yardstick, a tape measure, or, for that matter, a car’s odometer. In the U.S. system, the basic units used to measure length are the inch, foot, yard, and mile. There are relationships between each of these basic units of measure. For example, 1 yard is the equivalent of 3 feet.

1 yard = 3 feet

The table below gives equivalency relationships between units of length. U.S. UNITS OF LENGTH UNIT

To convert from one measurement unit to another, we can multiply the original measurement by a unit conversion ratio. A unit conversion ratio is a ratio that is equivalent to 1. Recall that multiplying a number by 1 does not change its value.

6.1 The U.S. Customary System

3 feet 1 yard

1 yard or

3 feet



5280 feet 1 mile

or

All of these unit conversion ratios are equivalent to 1. The unit conversion ratio we choose must be such that when we multiply, all units, except for those we wish to change to, divide out.The numerator of the unit conversion ratio will contain the new units and the denominator will contain the original units. Unit conversion ratio 5

New units Original units

Let’s say, for example, that a pipe is 4 feet long. Let’s convert this measurement to inches. Since inches are the new units and feet are the original units, we use the unit conversion ratio with inches in the numerator and feet in the denominator. To 12 inches effect the conversion, multiply the 4 feet by the unit conversion ratio . Note 1 foot 4 feet that 4 feet 5 . 1 4 feet 1

Chicago’s Magnificent Mile is a one-mile stretch of high-end retail shops and restaurants along Michigan Avenue. Pieces of art are regularly displayed along either side of the street. One year, the city featured decorated fiberglass cows. The display became known as the “Cow Parade.” Assuming that the cows were spaced an average of 165 feet apart over half of the Magnificent Mile, how many cows were displayed on both sides of the street over a half-mile stretch?

First, convert half a mile to feet. Use the unit conversion ratio with the new units, feet, in the numerator and the original units, miles, in the denominator. Multiply the half a mile by the unit conversion ratio, dividing out the common units.

Since the fiberglass cows are spaced an average of 165 feet apart, divide 2640 feet by 165 feet to determine the number of fiberglass cows displayed on one side of the street. Multiply by two to determine the number of fiberglass cows on both sides of the street.

6.2 DENOMINATE NUMBERS A denominate number is a number together with a unit of measure. Most application problems involve denominate numbers. Examples include 6 feet, 45 pounds, and $5.00 (the units are feet, pounds, and dollars, respectively). When speaking about a denominate number, we shall refer to a number without an associated unit of measure as an abstract number. Sometimes, two or more denominate numbers are combined. For example, an average adult male is 5 feet 8 inches tall. Or a newborn baby may weigh 6 pounds 10 ounces. Two or more denominate numbers that are combined are called compound denominate numbers. 6 pounds compound denominate number

Objective 6.2B

Sometimes we need to simplify a compound denominate number. As an example, consider 2 feet 18 inches. Since 18 inches is more than 1 foot, we can express 18 inches in terms of feet and inches. 18 inches 5 1 foot 6 inches

Thus, we have the following. 2 feet 18 inches 5 2 feet 1 18 inches 5 2 feet 1 1 foot 1 6 inches 5 3 feet 6 inches

In general, the largest unit should include as much of the measure as possible.

6.3 The Metric System

6.3 THE METRIC SYSTEM In 1789, after the French Revolution, a group of scientists developed the metric system. Although it was not widely accepted for many years, by 1875 it was adopted as the international standard of weights and measures. As mentioned in Section 6.1, the Standard International Metric System, known more commonly as the metric system, is a decimal-based system of weights and measures that uses a series of prefixes representing powers of 10. The basic units of the metric system are meters for length, grams for weight or mass, and liters for capacity.

CHAPTER 6

Measurement

Today, the most common metric units of length are the kilometer, the meter, the centimeter, and the millimeter. For reference, consider the following. • A kilometer (1000 meters) is approximately 0.62 miles. It is used to represent distances commonly measured in miles in the U.S. system. • A meter is used to measure distances similar to those commonly measured using feet and yards. For example, an Olympic swimming pool is 50 meters long and 25 meters wide. • A centimeter (0.01 meter) is a distance shorter than one-half inch. A standard paper clip is approximately 1 centimeter wide. • A millimeter (0.001 meter) is a very small measure. It is approximately equal to the thickness of a dime.

In the first example, we multiplied by 1000. In the second example, we multi1 plied by , which is equivalent to multiplying by 0.01. Both 1000 and 0.01 100 are powers of 10. In Section 3.3, we discussed how to multiply by powers of 10. When multiplying by powers of 10 such as 10, 100, and 1000, move the decimal point to the right the same number of places as there are zeros in the power of 10. When multiplying by powers of 10 such as 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001, move the decimal point to the left the same number of places as there are place values in the decimal power of 10. In general, to convert between metric units of measurements, simply move the decimal point to the right or to the left. As an example, to convert from millimeters to meters, move the decimal point 3 units to the left. km hm

Convert between metric units of weight or mass

Mass and weight are closely related. Mass is a measure of the amount of material in an object, whereas weight is a measure of an object’s heaviness.Thus, weight is related to the pull of gravity on an object. In general, the greater the distance an object is from earth, the less it weighs. The mass of an object, on the other hand, does not change regardless of its distance from earth. An astronaut will weigh less in outer space than on earth, but his or her mass is still the same. When discussing the mass of an object on earth, we will not make a distinction between its weight and mass. The basic unit of mass in the metric system is the gram. A gram is the mass of water contained in a cube whose sides measure 1 centimeter each. The most commonly used measures of mass are kilograms, grams, and milligrams. A 1-kilogram object weighs approximately 2.2 pounds. The table below gives equivalency relationships between metric units of mass as well as the unit conversion ratios commonly used to convert between metric units of mass.

In the United States, many things are measured in metric units. We buy two liters of soda, 500 mg tablets of medicine, and 35 mm film. And while many products in the United States are not measured in metric units, most of the world uses the metric system exclusively.

6.5 TIME AND TEMPERATURE Objective 6.5A

Convert between units of time

Measurement of time is an ancient science, though many of its discoveries are relatively recent. Throughout human existence, celestial bodies—the sun, the moon, the planets, and the stars—have been used as a reference for measuring the passage of time. Ancient civilizations measured the movement of these bodies through the sky to determine seasons, months, and years. Not until about 5000 years ago did people find a need for knowing the time of day. Sundials, invented by the Egyptians, were among the first clocks. These devices relied on the sun to project a moving shadow over a series of time marks. Later inventions included water clocks, sand clocks, hourglasses, oil lamps, marked candles, and thousands of mechanical contraptions designed to mark off equal increments of time. Today, we measure time with balance wheels, pendulums, vibrating quartz crystals, and electromagnetic atomic waves. Just as we did with other measurement conversions, time units are converted using unit conversion ratios. The table below gives equivalency relationships between units of time.

6.5 Time and Temperature

Convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures

Objective 6.5B

Temperature is a measure of the warmth or coldness of an object, substance, or environment. In the U.S. system, temperature is measured in degrees Fahrenheit (°F). This unit of temperature measurement is named in honor of Gabriel D. Fahrenheit, a German physicist who, in 1714, invented the mercury thermometer and introduced the Fahrenheit scale of temperature measurement. On this scale, water freezes at 32 degrees (32°F) and boils at 212 degrees (212°F). In the metric system, temperature is measured in degrees Celsius (°C). This unit of temperature measurement is named after Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer who, in 1742, established the centigrade or Celsius scale of temperature measurement. On the Celsius temperature scale, 0 degrees (0°C) is the freezing point of water and 100 degrees (100°C) is the boiling point of water. Celsius Metric System

Numerical Facts of Life

Verizon Wireless recently billed a customer $0.002 (0.002 dollars) per kilobyte for Internet service in Canada. However, Verizon Wireless customer service representatives repeatedly (and incorrectly!) quoted the customer a rate of 0.002¢ (0.002 cents) per kilobyte. These two quantities are very different. a. Using the fact that 1 dollar = 100 cents ($1 = 100¢), convert 0.002¢ to dollars.

While in Canada, the customer used 35,893 kilobytes. b. Based on the actual rate of 0.002 dollars, how much was the customer charged?

c. Based on the incorrectly quoted rate of 0.002 cents, how much should the customer have been charged?

Sadly, several Verizon Wireless employees did not know the difference between 0.002 dollars and 0.002 cents! They failed to acknowledge the different units. To hear an entertaining phone conversation between the customer and Verizon Wireless customer service representatives, Google Verizon Math.

eople need physical structures in which to dwell, work, play, learn, eat, and shop. These structures may be public or private, indoors or outdoors, small or large. Collectively, they make up neighborhoods, towns, and cities.

Architects are the licensed professionals who design the buildings and structures that satisfy people’s diverse needs. When architects design the general appearance of buildings and other structures, they must take into account their functionality, safety, and economic feasibility. In order to transform building concepts into concrete design plans, architects must be familiar with characteristics of different shapes. In particular, they must have a solid foundation in geometry, the subject of this chapter. Aside from coursework in geometry and other areas of math, a typical architecture program includes coursework in architectural history and theory, building design, construction methods, the physical sciences, and the liberal arts. Before individuals can call themselves architects, they must become licensed. Licensing requirements include a degree in architecture, a period of internship or training, and a passing score on all parts of the Architects Registration Examination (ARE).

geometry The branch of mathematics that deals with the measurements, properties, and relationships of shapes and sizes.

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with the measurements, properties, and relationships of shapes and sizes. The original application of geometry was to measure land. The word geometry comes from the Greek word geo, meaning earth, and metria, meaning measure. To begin our discussion of geometry, let’s introduce two important geometric concepts: space and plane. Space is the expanse that has infinite length, infinite width, and infinite depth. An object with length, width, and depth that resides in space is called a solid. Examples of solids are boxes, cars, buildings, and people. A plane is a flat surface that has infinite length, infinite width, and no depth. A figure that lies entirely in a plane is called a plane figure. The surface of this page represents a plane, as does the surface of a desk or the surface of a blackboard. In this chapter, we will learn about various plane figures and solids and properties such as perimeter, area, and volume.

Objective 7.1A

Identify lines, line segments, and rays

In geometry, the most basic element is a point. A point is an exact location or position in space. A point has no size or dimension; that is, it does not have length, width, or depth. Generally, a point is represented by a dot and is named using a single capital letter. The following are examples of points. Euclid, a Greek mathematician who lived around 300 B.C., is considered the father of modern-day geometry.

Objective 7.1B angle The construct formed by uniting the endpoints of two rays.

Name and classify an angle

An angle is the construct formed by uniting the endpoints of two rays. The common endpoint of the rays that form the angle is called the vertex. The rays that form an angle are called the sides of an angle. Consider the following angle.

vertex The common endpoint of the two rays that form an angle.

A Vertex 1 B

sides of an angle The rays that form an angle.

C

We can name the angle in a few different ways. Using the vertex alone, the angle is written /B, and is read “angle B.” Using the vertex and a point on each side of the angle, the angle can be written as either /ABC or /CBA, and is read as “angle ABC” and “angle CBA,” respectively. Notice that vertex is placed between the two points. Using the “1” inside the angle near the vertex, the angle is written as /1, and is read “angle 1.” When more than two rays meet at the vertex, we cannot use the vertex alone to name one of the angles. As an example, consider the illustration below. If we wanted to name the angle shown in red, we would use the longer, three-letter notation, or we would have to use the number inside the angle near its vertex.

Z X 2 W

Y

Vertex

Written as /XYZ or /ZYX or /2 Read as “angle XYZ” or “angle ZYX” or “angle 2”

degree A unit used to measure an angle.

A degree is a unit used to measure an angle. We use the degree symbol (° ) to represent a degree. One complete revolution of a circle is equal to 360 degrees, or 360°. Think of the face of a clock where the minute hand acts as one of the rays that forms an angle. In one hour, or 60 minutes, the minute hand moves around in a complete circle. That is, the minute hand moves through 360°. In 30 minutes, the minute hand moves through a half circle, or 180°. In 15 minutes, the minute hand moves through a quarter circle, or 90°. XII

A protractor is a device used to measure an angle. Note that a protractor has two scales. In the diagram shown below, the outer scale measures from left, 0°, around to the right, 180°. The inner scale measures from right, 0°, around to the left, 180°.

protractor A device used to measure an angle.

To measure an angle, place the protractor’s center mark on the vertex of the angle and line up one of the sides with the 0° mark. Then read the measurement where the other side intersects the appropriate scale. For example, to measure /CBA below, we place the vertex, B, on the center mark and line up side BC with 0° on the inner scale. Side BA intersects the inner scale at 50°. Therefore the measure of /CBA, denoted m/CBA, is 50°. Using the outer scale on the protractor, we see that /DBA measures 130°. 60

complementary angles Two angles, the sum of whose degree measures is 90°.

Find the measure of a complementary or a supplementary angle

Two angles, the sum of whose degree measures is 90°, are called complementary angles. Each angle is referred to as the complement of the other. To find the measure of the complement of an angle with a given measure, subtract the measure of the angle from 90°. For example, to find the measure of the complement of an angle of measure 40°, subtract 40° from 90°. 908 2 408 5 508

Thus, the complement of an angle of measure 40° is an angle of measure 50°. The angles below are complementary because 60° 1 30° 5 90°. Note that complementary angles can be placed adjacent to each other to form a right angle.

Two angles, the sum of whose degree measures is 180°, are called supplementary angles. Each angle is called the supplement of the other. To find the measure of the supplement of an angle with a given measure, subtract its measure from 180°. For example, to find the measure of the supplement of a 120° angle, subtract 120° from 180°. 1808 2 1208 5 608

The supplement of a 120° angle is a 60° angle. The angles below are supplementary because 130° 1 50° 5 180°. Note that supplementary angles can be placed adjacent to each other to form a straight angle.

nXYZ

nFLA

Note that in naming a triangle, the order in which the vertices appear does not matter. Although all triangles have three sides, their shapes may not be the same. This is because the lengths of the sides and the measures of the angles may be different. One way to classify a triangle is according to the lengths of its sides and measures of its angles. An equilateral triangle is a triangle with sides of equal length and angles of equal measure. An isosceles triangle is a triangle with at least two sides of equal length in which the angles opposite these sides have equal measure.A scalene triangle is a triangle with all three sides of different lengths and angles of different measures. Below are examples of each type of triangle. In these figures, tick marks indicate sides of equal length and angles of equal measure.

LearningTip An equilateral triangle is always iscoceles, but an iscoceles triangle is not always equilateral.

Isosceles Triangle Equilateral Triangle Two sides have the same length, All sides have the same length and all and the angles opposite these sides have the same measure. angles have the same measure.

Scalene Triangle No sides have the same length, and no angles have the same measure.

Find the circumference of a circle

Objective 7.3B

The circumference of a circle is the distance around the circle. The circumference of a circle is directly related to the diameter of the circle. For any circle, if we divide the circumference, C, by the diameter, we get a constant whose value is 22 approximately equal to 3.14 or . We represent this number by the Greek letter 7 p, and we call this number pi.

circumference The distance around a circle.

This fact, along with the fact that the diameter is two times the radius, provides us with two formulas for finding the circumference of a circle.

Circumference of a Circle If d represents the diameter of a circle and if r represents the radius, then the circumference, C, is given by either of the following formulas. C 5 pd or C 5 2pr

Area is used in a number of everyday situations. Consider the following. • A carpet layer would need to know the measure of the interior space in order to figure out how much carpeting to use. • A construction crew would need to know the measure of the lot’s surface to figure out how much asphalt is required. • To determine where to build an amusement park, a zoning commission would need to know the measure of the surrounding region to comply with local ordinances. One might assume the examples above represent rectangular regions, but this is not necessarily true. For instance, we could have a triangular parking lot or a circular region surrounding an amusement park. In this section, we will investigate the areas of several different geometric figures. We begin with a rectangle. Consider a rectangle with length of 4 feet and width of 2 feet. 4 ft

7.4 Area

To determine the area of the rectangle, we begin by dividing it into squares with sides of length 1 foot. 4 ft 1 foot

1 foot

1 foot

1 foot

1 foot 2 ft 1 foot

The area of each square is 1 square foot, or 1 ft2. Since the rectangle above contains 8 squares each having an area of 1 ft2, we conclude that the area of the rectangle is 8 square feet, or 8 ft2. Instead of counting the number of squares, we can determine the area of the rectangle by multiplying the number of columns by the number of rows. In so doing, we multiply the length by the width. 2 feet ? 4 feet 5 8 square feet

Area of a Rectangle If l represents the length of a rectangle and w the width of the rectangle, then the formula for the area, A, is as follows. A 5 lw Area is always measured in square units.

7.5 SQUARE ROOTS AND THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM LEARNING OBJECTIVES A. Find the principal square root of a number that is a perfect square B. Approximate the principal square root of a number that is not a perfect square C. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of a side of a right triangle D.

In the previous section, we learned that the area of a square with a side of length s units is given by the formula A 5 s2. For this reason, when we raise a number to the second power, we often say that we are squaring the number, or finding its square. In general, the square of a number is the number times itself. The square of 2 is 4 because 22 5 4. The square of 7 is 49 because 72 5 49.

The principal square root of a number, n, is a number whose square is n. We denote the principal square root of n by "n. The symbol " is called a radical sign, and the number underneath it is called the radicand. The square root of 25 is 5. That is, "25 5 5 because 52 5 25. The square root of 36 is 6. That is, "36 5 6 because 62 5 36.

Approximate the principal square root of a number that is not a perfect square

A perfect square is a whole number or fraction that is the square of another whole number or fraction. In the examples above, we considered only perfect squares. The square root of a whole number or fraction that is not a perfect square cannot be written as a fraction or perfect square. However, we can approximate such a square root. We generally do so using a table or a calculator. A table of squares and square roots is given in Appendix D. For example, to approximate the

Find the volume of a rectangular solid

In Section 7.2, we introduced several solids, including a rectangular solid and a cube. Just as area is the measure of the amount of interior surface of a plane figure, volume is the measure of the amount of interior space of a solid. Volume is measured in cubic units. The following figures show 1 cubic centimeter and 1 cubic inch, respectively.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES A. Find the volume of a rectangular solid B. Find the volume of other solids C.

Volume is used in a number of situations. Consider these examples. • To maintain the correct sodium concentration in a saltwater fish tank, an aquarium owner must know the amount of water contained in the tank. • To create a particular color of paint using different dyes, a technician would have to know the exact amount of paint in a can. • To mix a solution for an experiment, a scientist would have to know the exact amount of base solution. In these examples, we cannot assume that all the containers are rectangular solids. While an aquarium may well be a rectangular, it is likely that paint and solution for an experiment are contained in cylinders. We will investigate the volumes of several different solids. We begin with a rectangular solid. Consider a rectangular solid with length of 3 inches, width of 2 inches, and height of 2 inches.

2 inches

2 inches 3 inches

If we divide the rectangular solid into cubes, each with volume of 1 cubic inch, we can determine the volume. Notice that there is a total of 12 cubes. Because each cube has a volume of 1 cubic inch, the total volume of the rectangular solid is 12 cubic inches. Note that volume is measured in cubic units. Instead of counting the number of cubes, we can determine the area of the rectangular solid by multiplying the length, width, and height. 3 inches ? 2 inches ? 2 inches 5 12 cubic inches

The Hearst Tower in New York City is the world headquarters of the Hearst Corporation, a media conglomerate whose holdings include magazines such as

O – The Oprah Magazine and Cosmopolitan; cable channels such as ESPN and Lifetime; and newspapers such as the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and the San Francisco Chronicle. Completed in 2006, the Hearst Tower rises above the façade of the original Hearst Building that was built in 1928. The Hearst Tower has received numerous awards and accolades for incorporating “green building” practices. “Green building” refers to the movement that promotes the construction of environmentally responsible buildings. The movement seeks to sustain the environment through energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste minimization. The Hearst Tower is designed to use less energy than a conventional building. One feature that enables it to conserve energy is its “diagrid” frame. This frame features diagonal support beams that cross to form large triangles. Thus, the building has no vertical support beams. This allows natural light to flood the building. Moreover, each triangular region consists of innovative glass windows that have a special coating that keeps out the invisible solar radiation.

1. If the height of each triangle is 54 feet and the length of the base of each triangle is 45 feet, how much glass is contained in each triangular region?

The typical gross area of each floor of the Hearst Tower is 20,000 square feet. 2. If 5000 BTUs (British thermal units) per hour are required to cool 100 square feet of space in a standard building, how many BTUs per hour would be required to cool 20,000 square feet in a standard building?

3. If the energy-saving features of the Hearst Tower increase energy efficiency by 22 percent, how many BTUs per hour would be required to cool a typical floor?

A reclamation tank in the basement of the building collects rainwater. The rainwater is used to cool the building and to water plants. It is also used in the three-story waterfall that graces the building’s atrium. 4. If the reclamation tank is a cylinder with a base radius of 10 feet and a height of 6 feet, what is the volume of the tank? Use 3.14 for p.

5. To convert cubic feet to gallons, multiply the number of cubic feet by tion tank hold? Round to the nearest thousand.

Statistics and Data Presentation

Market Research Analyst

IN THIS CHAPTER 8.1 Data Presentation— Tables and Graphs (p. 578) 8.2 Mean, Median, Mode, and Range (p. 605)

tatistical ideas and methods are used in many professions today. A popular job that uses statistics extensively is market research analyst. Market research analysts are concerned with the potential sales of a company’s products or services. Gathering statistical data on competitors and examining prices, sales, and methods of marketing and distribution, they analyze data on past performance to predict future sales.

S

Market research analysts devise methods for obtaining the data they need. Often, they design telephone, mail, or Internet surveys to assess consumer preferences. After compiling and evaluating the data, market researchers make recommendations to their client or employer on the basis of their findings. They provide a company’s management the information needed to make decisions on the promotion, distribution, design, and pricing of products and services. In this chapter, we will learn to read and construct various types of tables and graphs used in statistical data presentation. We will also learn about the four most commonly used statistics: the mean, the median, the mode, and the range. 577

CHAPTER 8

Statistics and Data Presentation

8.1 DATA PRESENTATION—TABLES AND GRAPHS LEARNING OBJECTIVES A. Read a table B. Read and construct a line graph C. Read and construct a bar graph D. Read and construct a circle graph or pie chart

Statistics is the science of collecting, interpreting, and presenting numerical data. Statistical ideas and methods are used in almost every aspect of human activity, from the natural sciences to the social sciences. Special applications are found in such areas as medicine, psychology, education, engineering, agriculture, and business. Numerical data form the “raw material” on which statistical analyses and forecasts are based. Tables and graphs are used extensively to summarize and display data in a visually clear and concise manner. In this section, we will learn to read and construct some of the more common types of these tables and graphs. Objective 8.1A

statistics The science of collecting, interpreting, and presenting numerical data. table A collection of data arranged in rows and columns for ease of reference.

Read a table

A table is a collection of data arranged in rows and columns for ease of reference. The data in a table is displayed in columns and rows with meaningful titles. In tables, the columns run vertically, up and down; the rows run horizontally, left and right. Exhibit 8.1 shows the sales and profit figures (in thousands of dollars) for MountainView Department Stores for January, February, March, and April. MountainView has two locations, Surfside and Midway. The merchandise is divided into three categories: appliances, clothing, and garden shop. The following steps may be used to locate specific data listed on the table.

Steps for Reading a Table Step 1. Look over the titles of the columns and rows to find the category of

information being sought. Step 2. Find the specific data at the intersection of the column and row

specified in Step 1.

Learning Tip Remember that the numbers in Exhibit 8.1 are in thousands of dollar. Therefore three zeros must be inserted after each figure.

For example, the February clothing sales figure for the Surfside location, $120,000, is found at the intersection of the February/Surfside column and the Clothing/Sales row. Note that the numbers in the table are in thousands of dollars. Therefore three zeros must be inserted after each figure.

Objective 8.1B

Read and construct a line graph

In statistics, graphs are used to display relationships among data. A line graph is a picture of selected data changing over a period of time. Line graphs consist of a series of data points connected by straight lines. One glance at a line graph reveals the general direction and trends of the data being displayed.

CHAPTER 8

Statistics and Data Presentation

x-axis The horizontal axis of a graph.

The horizontal or x-axis of a line graph is used to measure units of time, such as days, weeks, months, or years. The vertical or y-axis illustrates the numerical value of the data.

y-axis The vertical axis of a graph.

A line graph may contain a single line, representing the change of one variable over time, or it may have multiple lines, representing variables that are being compared to each other. Exhibit 8.2 shows the price of bananas from January to July. Exhibit 8.3 shows the price of bananas compared with the price of strawberries over the same time period. EXHIBIT 8.2 SINGLE LINE GRAPH—PRICE OF BANANAS

Learning Tip Note that the y-axis in both Exhibit 8.2 and Exhibit 8.3 have a “break” near the bottom. This indicates that some lower numbers were omitted because they are not part of the data. This allows us to shorten the grid, and enhance the presentation.

Steps for Constructing a Line Graph Step 1. Label the time variable evenly spaced on the x-axis. Step 2. Label the numerical value variable evenly spaced on the y-axis. If

necessary, to save space on the graph, use a “break” in the x- or yaxis to indicate that the lower numbers were omitted because they are not part of the data. Step 3. Mark each data point with a dot, directly above the time period and

directly to the right of the corresponding numerical value. Step 4. Connect the dots with line segments. For multiple line graphs, use

colors or line patterns to differentiate the variables.

8.1 Data Presentation—Tables and Graphs

Read and construct a circle graph or pie chart

Objective 8.1D

A circle graph or pie chart is a circle divided into sections or segments that represent the component parts of a whole. The whole, 100 percent, is represented by the entire circle; the parts are the wedge-shaped sectors of the circle. A key may be provided to explain the labeling scheme. Note that in the circle graph below, the three component parts are color coded and sum to 100 percent. Circle graphs are commonly referred to as pie charts because they resemble a pie with the relative size of each variable depicted as a “slice” of the pie. Circle graphs are easily read by inspection because each component is labeled by category and amount.

Recall from Section 7.1, that a circle has 360 degrees (3608). We use this fact when constructing a circle graph. In a circle graph, the whole circle, or 100 percent of the circle, is equal to 3608. The various segments of the circle are sized according to the number of degrees each component represents.

To convert the percent to degrees, we multiply each segment’s percent by 3608. For example, if a particular component represented 25 percent of something, that segment would be 908 of the circle.

Learning Tip Due to rounding, the percent of the components may total slightly more or less than 100 percent. This should be noted on the graph with an asterisk (*).

We then use a protractor to mark off the number of degrees for each segment of the graph. In this example, 908.

Steps for Constructing a Circle Graph Step 1. Convert the value of each component to a percent using the per-

cent equation. Percent 5

Amount Base

Use the value of each component as the amount and the total amount as the base. Step 2. Multiply each percent by 360° to find the degrees for each

segment. Round to the nearest degree, if necessary.

8.1 Data Presentation—Tables and Graphs

591

Step 3. Use a protractor to mark the number of degrees for each segment.

a. Draw a line from the center of the circle to anywhere on the circle. b. With that line as 08, use a protractor to mark the number of degrees for the first segment. c. Draw a line from the center of the circle to the first segment mark. Use the first segment end line as the beginning of the next segment. d. Repeat Step c for each category, starting at each previous ending point, until the entire circle has been segmented. Step 4. Label each segment by name, percent, and distinct color or shading.

EXAMPLE 11 Construct a circle graph According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average American home uses energy in four main areas, heating and cooling, lights and appliances, water heating, and cold storage. In a recent survey, a typical “test” household used 5000 kilowatt hours of power in a month, as follows. CATEGORY

Convert the kilowatt hours in each category to a percent using the percent equation. The total kilowatt hours used, 5000, is the base.

Real -World Connection Multiply each rate by 360° to find the degrees for each segment. Round to the nearest degree.

The kilowatt hour (kWh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one kilowatt (1 kW) of power expended for one hour (1 h) of time. The kilowatt hour is not a standard unit in any formal system, but it is commonly used in electrical applications.

A statistic is a number that is computed from, and describes, numerical data about a particular situation. A statistic can make a large amount of information easier to read and interpret. One common statistic used extensively is known as an average. An average is a numerical value that represents an entire set of numbers. A set is a collection of numbers or objects. Because the average of a set of numbers lies between the set’s highest and lowest values, it is often referred to as the set’s middle value or as a measure of central tendency. In this section, we will learn about the three most commonly used average: the mean, the median, and the mode. We will also learn about the range, a statistic that measures the spread of a set of data. Objective 8.2A

Calculate the mean

The term arithmetic mean corresponds to the generally accepted meaning of the word average. We often refer to this average simply as the mean. The mean is computed by finding the sum of the values of a set and then dividing that sum by the number of values in that set.

Steps for Calculating the Mean Step 1. Find the sum of the values of the set. Step 2. Divide the sum by the number of values in the set. Round as

specified, if necessary. Mean 5

THE WEIGHTED MEAN—GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)

weighted mean An average used when some numbers in a set count more heavily than others.

Sometimes we encounter a situation in which some numbers in a set count more heavily than others. In these situations, we use an average known as the weighted mean. At most schools, a student’s grade point average (GPA) is calculated using a weighted mean. Typically, a certain number of credits is assigned to each course, such as 4 credits for a math class that meets for 4 hours a week, or 3 credits for an English class that meets for 3 hours a week. Values are assigned to the various grades, as follows. grade values: A 5 4

quality points The value of each course in the GPA. It is the product of the number of credits and the value of the grade earned.

B53

C52

D51

F50

The number of quality points, or the value of each course in the GPA, is the product of the number of credits for that course and the value of the grade earned. In essence, the grade for each course is “weighted” by the number of credits of the course. If, for example, a student earned a B in a 4-credit math course, the number of quality points earned for that course would be 12. credits ? grade value 5 quality points 4

Steps for Calculating Grade Point Average (GPA) Step 1. Calculate the quality points for each course by multiplying the num-

ber of credits by the value of the grade. Step 2. Find the sum of the quality points. Step 3. Divide the sum of the quality points by the total number of credits

earned. Note: GPA is typically rounded to the nearest hundredth. Grade point average (GPA) 5

Objective 8.2B

Calculate the median

Another measure of central tendency is the median. The median is the middle value of a set of numbers when the numbers are listed in numerical order. If there is an odd number of values, the median is the middle number. If there is an even number of values, the median is the mean of the two middle numbers. The median is a more useful measure of central tendency than the mean when one or more of the values of the set is significantly larger or smaller than the others.

median The middle value of a set of numbers when the numbers are listed in numerical order. If there is an odd number of values, the median is the middle number. If there is an even number of values, the median is the mean of the two middle numbers.

CHAPTER 8

Statistics and Data Presentation

For example, if the weights of five packages are 24, 12, 10, 16, and 98 pounds, respectively, the mean is 32 pounds—not a great indicator of central tendency of the five packages. When we list these values in numerical order, the median is 16 pounds, a value that better describes the package weights.

Learning Tip When listing the values in a set in numerical order, we can list them in ascending or descending order.

When we list the values in a set in numerical order and there are an odd number of values in the set, the “middle value” is the median. When we list the weights of the five packages in numerical order, the median is the third value; there are two values greater than and two values less than the median. 10 12 16 24 98

median (middle value)

When we list the values in a set in numerical order, and there is an even number of values in the set, the median is the mean of the two middle values. For example, the median of the set of values, 14, 18, 6, 3, 10, and 15, would be 12; the mean of the two middle values, 10 and 14. 3 6 10 14 15 18

Objective 8.2C

Determine the mode

The mode is a third measure of central tendency. It is the value or values in a set that occur most often. A set of numbers may have more than one mode or no mode at all. The mode is commonly used in marketing research to measure the most frequent response to a question on a survey.

Steps for Determining the Mode Step 1.

Count the number of times each value occurs in the set.

Step 2a. If one value occurs most often, then that value is the mode. Step 2b. If two or more values occur most often, then they are all the modes. Step 2c. If every value occurs only once, then there is no mode.

range The difference between the largest and the smallest values in a set; used as a measure of spread or dispersion.

Objective 8.2D

Calculate the range

The range is another useful measure in statistics. The range is the difference between the largest and the smallest values in the set. It is used as a measure of spread or dispersion of a set.

8.2 Mean, Median, Mode, and Range

A narrow range indicates that the values in a set are close to each other. A wide range indicates that the values in a set are spread far apart. Let’s say, for example, that a sporting goods store offered tennis rackets for as little as $60 and as much as $100. The range of racket prices, $40, is relatively narrow in scope. If another store offered tennis rackets from $50 to $250, the range of prices, $200, would be considered relatively wide in scope. It might be said that customers shopping for a racket in the second store would have a “wide range” of prices to choose from.

Steps for Calculating the Range Step 1. Locate the largest and the smallest values in a set. Step 2. Subtract the smallest value from the largest value.

Range 5 Largest value 2 Smallest value

Objective 8.2E

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Let’s take a look at some applications of mean, median, mode, and range, and how these values yield useful information. Sometimes in a set, one or two values are out of proportion to the rest of the values in the set. When a data set contains such extreme values, it is better to use the median than the mean as a measure of central tendency. For example, on a history test for 10 students, let’s assume that one of the students got a very low grade and the other nine students did very well. The one low grade would cause the mean to be “unusually” low, and therefore not a true indication of

In the 20-year period from 1986 to 2006, many expense categories have far outpaced the Consumer Price Index. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by consumers for a “market basket” of consumer goods and services. The CPI is compiled and published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a division of the U.S. Department of Labor. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is the principal factfinding agency for the federal government in the broad field of labor economics and statistics. The BLS collects, processes, analyzes, and disseminates essential statistical data to the American public, the U.S. Congress, other federal agencies, state and local governments, business, and labor.

Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics

The bar graph above illustrates the percentage change in costs of various consumer goods and services categories compared with the Consumer Price Index for 1986 to 2006. From the graph, we see that the CPI for this period increased by 84.3 percent. This means that if you bought $1.00 in CPI goods and services in 1986, the same goods and services would cost $1.843 in 2006. Rounded to the nearest cent, the cost would be $1.84. This is calculated as follows $1.00 1 $1.00(84.3%) 5 $1.00 1 $0.843 5 $1.843 < $1.84

Use the bar graph and this calculation method for the following questions. Round to the nearest cent, if necessary.

1. If a college credit at Seaside College cost $180.00 in 1986, what was the cost per credit in 2006?

2. If a dozen eggs cost $1.70 at Safeway in 1986, what was the cost of a dozen eggs in 2006?

3. If Dr. Hernandez charged $40.00 for an office visit in 1986, how much was an office visit in 2006?

4. Challenge: If a gallon of gasoline cost $2.50 in 2006, what was the cost per gallon of gasoline in 1986?

Chemist verything in our environment, whether natural or synthetic, is made up of chemicals. Chemists study the chemical composition of matter. They use their knowledge of chemicals to develop drugs, adhesives, cosmetics, and a wide variety of other products.1 Through their research, chemists contribute to advances in medicine, agriculture, biotechnology, and many other fields.

E

Chemists and chemistry students alike must have a strong mathematics background. In particular, they must have an understanding of signed numbers. In the analysis of chemical reactions, for example, chemists must know about the oxidation states of atoms. The oxidation state of an atom is the sum of the positive and negative charges in the atom.2 When an atom is not involved in a chemical reaction, its oxidation state is zero. But, when involved in certain chemical reactions, the oxidation state of some atoms is a positive number while the oxidation state of other atoms is a negative number. To understand such chemical reaction, chemists must be able to manipulate the oxidation states of the atoms involved in the process. This requires the ability to work with signed numbers. 1from 2from

CHAPTER 9

Signed Numbers

In this chapter, we investigate signed numbers. We will learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide them. We will also see how signed numbers apply to real-world situations.

9.1 INTRODUCTION TO SIGNED NUMBERS LEARNING OBJECTIVES A. Find the opposite of a number B. Graph a signed number on a number line C. Find the absolute value of a number D. Compare signed numbers E.

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE

positive number A number that is greater than 0. negative number A number that is less than 0.

So far, all numbers encountered in this book have been either 0 or greater than 0. A number that is greater than 0 is called a positive number. Examples involving positive numbers include a building whose height is 1451 feet and a summertime high temperature of 86°F. Not all numbers are positive. Indeed, some numbers are less than 0. A number that is less than 0 is called a negative number. You certainly know something about negative numbers if you live in a city such as Chicago or Minneapolis. There, during a typical winter, you may experience a temperature such as 5 degrees below zero. Numerically, you would express this temperature as 25 degrees, or 25°. Note that a negative number is written with a (2 ) sign, known also as a nega3 tive sign. Some other examples of negative numbers are 2109, 2 , and 217.3. 4 In Chapter 2, we graphed 0 and positive numbers on a number line. Negative numbers can be graphed on a number line, too. Simply extend the number line to the left of 0. The number 0 is neither positive nor negative. It separates the positive numbers from the negative numbers. For this reason, the number 0 on the number line is often referred to as the origin. Below is a number line that shows negative numbers, 0, and positive numbers.

A signed number is a number that is either positive or negative. Therefore, we refer to the positive and negative numbers collectively as the signed numbers. In this section, we introduce basic features associated with signed numbers. In the subsequent sections of this chapter, we learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide signed numbers.

Objective 9.1A

Find the opposite of a number

Two numbers that lie the same distance from the origin on opposite sides of the origin are called opposites. For example, 23 and 3 are opposites. Notice that 23 and 3 are the same distance from the origin but are on opposite sides of the origin.

Objective 9.1B

Graph a signed number on a number line

The integers are the whole numbers together with the opposites of the natural numbers. That is, the integers are the numbers c 23, 22, 21, 0, 1, 2, 3, c. The ellipses before 23 and after 3 indicate that the integers continue indefinitely in either direction. Typically when drawing a number line, we show only the integers. We can, however, show other numbers, such as fractions, decimals, and their opposites. Fractions, decimals, and their opposites are rational numbers. More formally, a rational a number is a number that can be written in the form , where a and b are integers b and b 2 0. Here are some examples of rational numbers. 2

Other examples of rational numbers include the following. 25 10 20.7 3.25

Each of these numbers is a rational number since each one can be written in the a form , where a and b are integers and b 2 0. For example, 25 can be written as b 7 25 10 or as . Also, 20.7 can be written as 2 . 1 22 10 To graph a number is to draw a dot on the number line at the point corresponding to that number. For example, let’s graph 0.5. Since 0.5 is halfway between 0 and 1 on the number line, we draw a dot halfway from 0 to 1. 22

Find the absolute value of a number

9.1 Introduction to Signed Numbers

Compare signed numbers

Objective 9.1D

On the number line, numbers increase from left to right. We say that the number to the left is less than the number to the right, and the number to the right is greater than the number to the left. The less than symbol (,) represents “less than,” and the greater than symbol (.) represents “greater than.” Collectively, , and . are referred to as inequality symbols. As an example, let’s compare the numbers 23 and 5. The graph of these numbers is shown below.

25

24

23

22

21

0

1

2

3

4

5

Notice that 23 is to the left of 5 on the number line. Thus, 23 is less than 5, and symbolically we can write the following. 23 * 5

Also, since 5 is to the right of 23 on the number line, 5 is greater than 23. Symbolically, we can write the following. 5 + 23

The above example shows that any statement involving the , symbol can be expressed as a statement involving the . symbol. We do this by reversing the order of the numbers and the direction of the symbol. In general, a negative number is always less than a positive number. For exam2 1 ple, when comparing and 2 , we can immediately write the following. 3 9 2 1 1 2 2 * or +2 9 3 3 9

When two rational numbers have the same sign, the smaller of the two numbers may not be obvious. To compare rational numbers, we can find a common denominator as we did in Section 2.3, and then compare numerators. Alternatively, we can write each rational number as a decimal and then compare the decimals as we did in Section 3.1.

The following examples illustrate how to write signed numbers in problems involving these key words. EXAMPLE 5

Apply your knowledge

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), often referred to as the Dow, is an indicator of U.S. stock market performance. In general, if the Dow is up, then the stock market is viewed as doing well (or, at least, improving). If the Dow is down, the stock market is viewed as faltering. The greatest DJIA daily point loss occurred on September 29, 2008. On that day, the Dow closed down 777.68 points from the previous trading day. Express this quantity as a signed number. (See www.djindexes.com for the latest data.)

9.2 ADDING SIGNED NUMBERS When we add two signed numbers, the addends either have the same sign or different signs. For example, 2 1 3 and 22 1 (23) are addition problems in which the addends have the same sign, while 22 1 3 and 2 1 (23) are addition problems in which the addends have different signs. In this section, we first investigate addition of signed numbers with the same sign and then consider addition of signed numbers with different signs.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES A. Add numbers with the same sign B. Add numbers with different signs C.

Add numbers with the same sign

Objective 9.2A

Consider 2 1 3. Note that both addends have the same sign. To compute this sum, we start at 0 and move to 2. Then, because we are adding 3, we move 3 more units to the right. 2 units 23

We see that the result is 5. Thus, 2 1 3 5 5. Now let’s consider 22 1 (23). Notice that we are once again adding two numbers with the same sign. To calculate this sum, we start at 0 and move to 22 on the number line. Then, because we are adding 23 to this number, we move 3 more units to the left. Indeed, any time we add a negative number to a number, we move to the left, or backward, on the number line. 3 units 28

We see that the result is 25. Thus, 22 1 (23) 5 25. Notice that in both examples, the result has the same sign as the numbers being added. This observation leads us to the following.

Steps for Adding Numbers with the Same Sign Step 1. Determine the absolute value of each addend. Step 2. Add the absolute values of the addends. Step 3. Attach the common sign of the addends to the sum of Step 2.

Adding numbers using a number line is nice for its visual appeal; however, it is not practical for adding large numbers, fractions, or decimals. Therefore, we shall use the aforementioned rule when adding numbers with the same sign.

9.3 SUBTRACTING SIGNED NUMBERS LEARNING OBJECTIVES A. Subtract signed numbers B.

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Objective 9.3A

Subtract signed numbers

In order to subtract signed numbers, we rely on two ideas presented in this chapter: finding the opposite of a number and adding signed numbers. To see why these concepts are central to subtracting signed numbers, consider the following example. Suppose that you lose $20 in a bet. If you have $100 in your wallet, $80 will remain after you pay the debt. $100 2 $20 5 $80

There is another way of thinking about this scenario. In Section 9.1, we learned that we can numerically represent a loss of $20 as 2$20. If you represent the amount you lost as a negative number, then you must add the two amounts together to determine how much money remains. $100 1 (2$20) 5 $80

Notice that the amount remaining is the same no matter how we think about it. This example demonstrates that subtracting a number is the same as adding the opposite of that number. Thus, for any two numbers a and b, we have the following. a 2 b 5 a 1 (2b)

9.3 Subtracting Signed Numbers

The following steps can be used to subtract signed numbers.

Steps for Subtracting Signed Numbers Step 1. Write the subtraction problem as an addition problem by adding the

first number to the opposite of the second number. Step 2. Add using the steps in Section 9.2, Adding Signed Numbers.

According to these steps, 7 2 3 can be rewritten as 7 1 (23). Note that both problems have the same answer. 7 2 3 5 4 and 7 1 (23) 5 4

But, why even bother writing such a simple subtraction problem as an addition problem? After all, 7 2 3 is easy enough to compute. Indeed, when subtracting a smaller positive number from a larger positive number, there is no reason to rewrite the subtraction problem. It is often useful to rewrite a subtraction problem as an addition problem when we (1) subtract a positive number from a smaller positive number, (2) subtract a positive number from a negative number, and (3) subtract a negative number from either a positive or a negative number. Let’s begin by looking at some examples involving integers.

A larger positive number is subtracted from a smaller positive number. Write the subtraction problem as an addition problem by adding 4 and the opposite of 9. The opposite of 9 is 29. Determine the absolute value of each addend. Since the addends have different signs, subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger. Since the negative addend is larger in absolute value, the answer is negative. A larger positive number is subtracted from a smaller positive number. Write the subtraction problem as an addition problem by adding 17 and the opposite of 32. The opposite of 32 is 232.

Looking down the first column, notice that as the numbers in blue decrease by 1, the numbers in red decrease by 1. This leads us to the conclusion that the “?” should be replaced by a number 1 less than 0. Thus, we replace the “?” by 21. 21 ? 1 5 21

Now, looking down the second column, notice that as the numbers in blue decrease by 1, the numbers in red decrease by 2. This leads us to the conclusion that the “?” should be replaced by a number 2 less than 0.Thus, we replace the “?” by 22. 21 ? 2 5 22

This same pattern continues. The “?” in the third column should be replaced by 23, in the fourth column by 24, and the fifth column by 25. These results suggest that the product of two numbers with different signs is always negative. Based on our observations, we present the following for multiplying numbers with different signs.

Steps for Multiplying Numbers with Different Signs Step 1. Determine the absolute value of each factor. Step 2. Multiply the absolute values of the factors. Step 3. Attach a negative sign to the result. The product is negative.

Let’s now look at some examples of multiplying numbers with different signs. Refer to Section 2.4, Multiplying Fractions and Mixed Numbers, and Section 3.3, Multiplying Decimals, for a review of multiplying fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals.

Looking down the first column, notice that as the numbers in blue decrease by 1, the numbers in red increase by 1. This leads us to the conclusion that the “?” should be replaced by a number 1 more than 0. Thus, we replace the “?” by 1. 21 ? 21 5 1

Now, looking down the second column, notice that as the numbers in blue decrease by 1, the numbers in red increase by 2. This leads us to the conclusion that the “?” should be replaced by a number 2 more than 0. Thus, we replace the “?” by 2.

Learning Tip You may find the following helpful. positive ? positive 5 positive negative ? negative 5 positive positive ? negative 5 negative negative ? positive 5 negative

21 ? 22 5 2

This same pattern continues. The “?” in the third column should be replaced by 3, in the fourth column by 4, and the fifth column by 5. These results suggest that the product of two numbers with the same sign is always positive. Based on our observations, we present the following for multiplying numbers with the same sign.

Steps for Multiplying Numbers with the Same Sign Step 1. Determine the absolute value of each factor. Step 2. Multiply the absolute values of the factors. The product is positive.

9.4 Multiplying and Dividing Signed Numbers

Divide signed numbers

Objective 9.4B

To understand division of signed numbers, consider the following. 15 4 (23)

If 15 4 (23) 5 q, then q (23) 5 15. But, since 25(23) 5 15, we know that q must be 25. Therefore, the answer to our division problem must be 25. 15 4 (23) 5 25

This makes sense because division is the inverse of multiplication. Consequently, the rules for dividing signed numbers are the same as those for multiplying signed numbers. When we divide two numbers with different signs, the quotient is negative. When we divide two numbers with the same sign, the quotient is positive.

Steps for Dividing Numbers with Different Signs Step 1. Determine the absolute values of the dividend and divisor. Step 2. Divide the absolute values of the dividend and divisor. Step 3. Attach a negative sign to the result. The quotient is negative.

Steps for Dividing Signed Numbers with the Same Sign Step 1. Determine the absolute values of the dividend and divisor. Step 2. Divide the absolute values of the dividend and divisor. The quotient

is positive.

We’ll now look at some examples of dividing signed numbers. Refer to Section 2.5, Dividing Fractions and Mixed Numbers, and Section 3.4, Dividing Decimals, for a review of dividing fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals. EXAMPLE 4

9.5 Signed Numbers and Order of Operations

We must exercise care when working with exponents and signed numbers. For example, consider (25) 2. Here, we are squaring 25, that is, we are multiplying 25 by itself. (25) 2 5 (25) (25) 5 25

Note that we get a positive result. Now let’s consider 252. Note that 25 is not in parentheses, and so this problem is different from the previous one. In this example, we are squaring 5 and then taking the opposite of the result, that is, we multiply 5 by itself and then take its opposite. 252 5 2(5 ? 5) 5 225

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), wind chill describes a person’s heat loss resulting from a combination of low temperatures and wind. Wind chill describes what the temperature feels like when the actual temperature and wind speed are combined. For example, if the actual temperature was 5° F and the wind speed was 25 mph, then the wind chill would be 217°F. To determine this, find 5° F along the top of the table and 25 mph along the left side. Then, go down the column below 5° F and across the row next to 25 mph. We note that the row and column intersect at 217°F. Suppose that the actual temperature is 25° F and the wind speed is 30 mph.

1. Determine the wind chill.

2. Write a subtraction problem that represents the difference between the actual temperature and the wind chill in question 1. Calculate this difference.

3. If the actual temperature decreased by 10 degrees and the wind speed increased by 5 mph, what would be the new wind chill?

4. Write a subtraction problem that represents the difference between the new wind chill and the original wind chill. Calculate this difference.

uch of the infrastructure in the industrialized world is due to the design efforts of civil engineers. Civil engineers design and supervise the construction of roads, airports, buildings, bridges, tunnels, dams, and sewage systems.1 They must consider many factors in the design process, from construction costs and government regulations to environmental hazards such as earthquakes and hurricanes.

M

Civil engineers must have a strong mathematics background. Solving equations involving variables is an important skill that engineers and engineering students alike must possess. The ability to solve equations is the backbone of the more advanced courses that all engineers must take, including trigonometry and calculus. We begin this chapter with a look at algebraic expressions. Then, we will learn to solve equations containing variables. Once we have developed this skill, we will present a strategy for analyzing a wide range of application problems that require us to solve equations. 1

Evaluate an algebraic expression

Objective 10.1A

In algebra, we often work with problems that involve variables. Recall that a variable is a letter or some other symbol that represents a number whose value is unknown. The letter t may represent time in a problem, or the letter d may represent distance. An algebraic expression, or expression, is a mathematical statement that consists of numbers, variables, operation symbols, and possibly grouping symbols. Here are some examples of algebraic expressions. x15

3x

yz 1 3(y 2 4)

If a number and a variable expression or two variable expressions are written next to each other, then we understand that the two are being multiplied. For example, 3x means 3 ? x, yz means y ? z, and 3(y 2 4) means 3 ? (y 2 4). When we replace each variable in an algebraic expression with a particular value and find the value of the expression, we evaluate the expression.

Steps for Evaluating an Algebraic Expression Step 1. Substitute a value for the indicated variable into the algebraic

Objective 10.1B

Combine like terms

Each addend in an algebraic expression is called a term. A term that contains a variable is called a variable term, while a term that is only a number is called a constant term. Consider the following algebraic expression. x 1 2y 1 3

term An addend in an algebraic expression. variable term A term that contains a variable. constant term A term that is only a number.

702

CHAPTER 10

Introduction to Algebra

This expression contains three terms: x, 2y, and 3. The variable terms are x and 2y, and the constant term is 3. numerical coefficient or coefficient A number factor in a variable term.

A number factor in a variable term is called a numerical coefficient, or coefficient. The coefficient in the variable term 2y is 2, and the coefficient in the variable term x is 1. Indeed, if a variable term does not have an explicit number factor, then the coefficient is understood to be 1. Note that 1x 5 x. As another example, consider the following algebraic expression.

Learning Tip In an algebraic expression involving subtraction, the minus sign always goes “along for the ride” with the term.

5x 1 7y 2 4z

To identify the terms, we must first write the expression as a sum. This requires that we write subtraction as addition of the opposite. 5x 1 7y 1 (24z)

We now see that the terms are 5x, 7y, and 24z. The coefficient in the variable term 5x is 5, the coefficient in the variable term 7y is 7, and the coefficient in the variable term 24z is 24. EXAMPLE 3

Like terms are terms with the same variable factors. That is, like terms have the same variables with the same exponents. For instance, consider the following algebraic expression.

like terms Terms with the same variable factors.

2x 1 3x

In this expression, 2x and 3x are like terms. Even though the terms have different coefficients, both terms have the same variable factor, x. As another example, consider the following: 4x2 1 3x 1 5x2 2 7x

In this expression, 4x2 and 5x2 are like terms since they have the same variable factors and the same number of them. In particular, each term has two factors of x. Also, 3x and 27x are like terms. Note that each term has only one factor of x. Whenever an algebraic expression contains like terms, we can simplify the expression using properties of numbers with which we are already familiar. One such property is the distributive property. In Section 1.4, we learned that we can use the distributive property to manipulate the algebraic expression a(b 1 c). a(b 1 c) 5 ab 1 ac

In a similar way, the distributive property allows us to manipulate the algebraic expression (a 1 b)c. (a 1 b)c 5 ac 1 bc

Interchanging the algebraic expressions on the left and right sides of the previous equation give us the following. ac 1 bc 5 (a 1 b)c

Therefore, we can restate the distributive property as follows.

Distributive Property For any numbers a, b, and c, we have the following. ac 1 bc 5 (a 1 b)c

and ac 2 bc 5 (a 2 b)c

Learning Tip Like terms have the same variables and same exponents. Thus, 4x2 and 3x are not like terms since they do not have the same exponent.

704

CHAPTER 10

Introduction to Algebra

To see how the distributive property is useful in simplifying an algebraic expression containing like terms, let’s again consider 2x 1 3x. 2x 1 3x 5 (2 1 3)x

Apply the distributive property. Add 2 1 3.

5 5x

The commutative and associative properties are also useful in simplifying algebraic expressions that contain like terms. We introduced these properties in Sections 1.2 and 1.4. The commutative property tells us that the order in which we add or multiply two numbers does not affect the result. The associative property tells us that the way we group numbers in an addition or multiplication problem does not affect the result.

Commutative Property Changing the order of the addends does not change the sum. Likewise, changing the order of factors does not change the product. That is, for any numbers a and b, we have the following. a1b5b1a

and a ? b 5 b ? a

Associative Property Changing the grouping of addends does not change the sum. Likewise, changing the grouping of factors does not change the product. That is, for any numbers a, b, and c, we have the following. a 1 (b 1 c) 5 (a 1 b) 1 c

and a(bc) 5 (ab)c

To see how these properties apply to simplifying an algebraic expression containing like terms, consider 4x 1 9y 1 8x 2 2y. 4x 1 9y 1 8x 2 2y

collecting like terms Changing the order of terms using the commutative property and grouping like terms using the associative property. combining like terms Adding like terms in an algebraic expression.

5 4x 1 9y 1 8x 1 (22y)

Write subtraction as addition of the opposite.

5 4x 1 8x 1 9y 1 (22y)

Apply the commutative property.

5 (4x 1 8x) 1 (9y 1 (22y))

Apply the associative property by grouping like terms.

5 (4 1 8)x 1 (9 1 (22) )y

Apply the distributive property.

5 12x 1 7y

Add 4 1 8. Add 9 1 (22).

Note that 12x and 7y have different variable factors. As such, they are not like terms and hence cannot be added together. Changing the order of terms using the commutative property and grouping like terms using the associative property is called collecting like terms. Adding all like terms in an algebraic expression is called combining like terms. Once we combine all like terms in an algebraic expression, we say that the expression is simplified.

Combine like terms. Note that the coefficient in 5x is 5, while the coefficient in x is 1. Thus, 5x 1 x is the same as 5x 1 1x 5 (5 1 1)x 5 6x.

b. 12a 2 5b 2 7a 1 b

Collect like terms.

5a 1 (24b)

Combine like terms. Again, note that the coefficient of 25b is 25, while the coefficient of b is 1. Thus, 25b 1 b is the same as 25b 1 1b 5 (25 1 1)b 5 24 b.

Objective 10.1C

Multiply expressions

We can also use the properties of numbers to multiply expressions. For example, in the expression 2(4y), we are multiplying 2 and 4y. Using the associative property of multiplication, we can regroup the number factors to determine the product. 2(4y) 5 (2 ? 4)y 5 8y

Apply the associative property of multiplication. Multiply 2 ? 4.

Recall that x 1 (2y) 5 x 2 y. Accordingly, in Example 4b, we can write 5a 1 (24b) more concisely as 5a 2 4b.

10.2 SOLVING AN EQUATION USING THE ADDITION PROPERTY OF EQUALITY Verify a solution to an equation

Objective 10.2A

Recall that an equation is a mathematical statement consisting of two expressions on either side of an equals (5) sign. The following are examples of equations. 41559

and x 1 6 5 10

A value of the variable that makes the equation a true statement is called a solution of the equation. For example, 4 is a solution of the equation x 1 6 5 10 since substituting 4 for x makes the equation into a true statement. Note that 2 is not a solution of this equation since substituting 2 for x yields a false statement.

CHAPTER 10 Introduction to Algebra

Solve an equation using the addition property of equality

Objective 10.2B

For the equation x 1 6 5 9 given in Example 2, we discovered that 2 is not a solution. Our experience tells us that x 5 3 is a solution. After all, 3 1 6 5 9. But if we did not know this, how would we determine this? To find the solution to this equation and others like it, we use the following important rule. What we do to one side of an equation, we must do to the other side. addition property of equality or addition property Property stating that adding the same value to each side of an equation preserves equality.

Our goal is to apply this rule in order to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.The addition property of equality (or addition property, for short) helps us do just that. The addition property of equality states that adding the same value to each side of an equation preserves equality. In other words, if we add the same number to each side of an equation, then we will still have equality. Formally, we have the following.

The Addition Property of Equality If a, b, and c are real numbers and if a 5 b, then a 1 c 5 b 1 c.

solving an equation The process of finding a solution to an equation involving a variable.

The process of finding a solution to an equation involving a variable is referred to as solving an equation. As an example, consider the following equation. x2459

Our goal is to isolate x by adding the same value to each side of the equation. What can we add to each side of the equation so as to get x alone? We can add 4. x2459

Original equation.

x245 9 14 14 x 1 0 5 13

Apply the addition property by adding 4 to each side.

x 5 13

Simplify.

The solution is x 5 13. As another example, let’s return to the problem of example 2. x1659

Once again, our goal is to isolate x by adding a value to each side of the equation. What number can we add to each side of the equation so as to get x alone? We can add the opposite of 6, which is 26. But, adding 26 is the same as subtracting 6. Thus, to solve x 1 6 5 9, we can either add 26 to each side or subtract 6 from each side; the result will be the same.

Learning Tip Subtracting a number from an expression is the same as adding the opposite of that number to the expression.

x165 9

Original equation.

x165 9 2 6 26 x105 3

Apply the addition property by adding the opposite of 6 to both sides. Adding 26 is the same as subtracting 6.

x53

Simplify.

The solution is x 5 3.

10.2 Solving an Equation Using the Addition Property of Equality

715

In the examples above, we had to isolate x. To do so, we had to add the same value to each side of the equation. In general, to remove a term from one side of an equation, add the opposite of that term to each side of the equation. A task that goes hand in hand with solving an equation is checking the answer. Checking the answer is the process of verifying that we get a true statement when we substitute the answer into the original equation. As an example, we can check that x 5 13 is a solution for the equation x 2 4 5 9. x2459

Original equation.

13 2 4 0 9

Substitute 13 for x.

959

Simplify.

Because substitution yields a true statement, x 5 13 is a solution. The following steps will guide us in solving equations using the addition property of equality.

Steps for Solving an Equation Using the Addition Property of Equality To solve an equation of the form x 1 b 5 c, where b and c are numbers and x is a variable, follow these steps. Step 1. Apply the addition property of equality by adding the opposite of b

to each side of the equation. Step 2. Simplify and solve for x. Step 3. Check the solution by substituting into the original equation.

10.3 SOLVING AN EQUATION USING THE MULTIPLICATION PROPERTY OF EQUALITY Objective 10.3A

Solve an equation using the multiplication property of equality

In the previous section, we stated a rule that will serve as a guide in solving equations. What we do to one side of an equation, we must do to the other side. The multiplication property of equality (or multiplication property, for short) states that multiplying each side of an equation by the same value preserves equality. Formally, we have the following.

The Multiplication Property of Equality If a, b, and c are real numbers and if a 5 b, then a ? c 5 b ? c.

To demonstrate the multiplication property, consider the following equation. 2?953?6

Because both sides simplify to 18, this is a true statement. By the multiplication property, we still have a true statement when we multiply each side of the equation by the same quantity. For example, when we multiply each side by 2, we obtain the following. 2?9?253?6?2

Note that each side of the equation simplifies to 36. Now let’s consider the following equation. 1 4

x55

Our goal is to solve the equation, that is, we must get x by itself on one side of the equation. To do so, we can apply the multiplication property. In particular, we can multiply each side of the equation by 4. 1 4

x55

1 4? x54?5 4 x 5 20

Original equation. Apply the multiplication property by multiplying each side by 4. Simplify.

The solution is x 5 20. We check the answer as follows. 1 4

(20) 0 5 555

Substitute 20 for x. Simplify.

As another example, consider the following equation. 3x 5 24

Once again, our goal is to isolate x by applying the multiplication property of equality. By what number can we multiply each side of the equation to get x alone? 1 We can multiply by the reciprocal of 3, which is . 3

Learning Tip In general, dividing an expression by a nonzero number is the same as multiplying the expression by the reciprocal of that number.

3x 5 24, we can either multiply each side by is the same.

1 3

or divide each side by 3; the result

Sometimes it is useful to think in terms of multiplying by the reciprocal of the coefficient and other times it is more advantageous to think in terms of division. In particular, when the coefficient is a fraction, multiply each side by the reciprocal of the coefficient. When the coefficient is an integer or a decimal, divide each side by the coefficient. The following steps will guide us in solving equations using the multiplication property of equality.

Steps for Solving an Equation Using the Multiplication Property of Equality To solve an equation of the form bx 5 c, where b and c are numbers, b 2 0, and x is a variable, perform the following steps. Step 1. Apply the multiplication property of equality by multiplying each

side of the equation by the reciprocal of b. Equivalently, divide each side by b. Step 2. Simplify and solve for x. Step 3. Check the solution by substituting into the original equation.

APPENDIX C

Math Study Skills Your overall success in mastering the material this textbook covers depends on you. You must be committed to doing your best in this course. This commitment means dedicating the time needed to study math and to do your homework. In order to succeed in math, you must know how to study it. The goal is to study math so that you understand and not just memorize it. The following tips and strategies will help you develop good study habits.

GENERAL TIPS Attend every class. Be on time. If you must miss class, be sure to get a copy of the notes and any handouts. (Get notes from someone in your class who takes good, neat notes.) Manage your time. School, work, family, and other commitments place a lot of demand on your time. To be successful, you must be able to devote time to study math every day. Writing out a weekly schedule that lists your class schedule, work schedule, and all other commitments with times that are not flexible will help you determine when you can study. Do not wait to get help. If you are having difficulty, get help immediately. Since the material presented in class usually builds on previous material, it is very easy to fall behind. Ask your instructor if he or she is available during office hours or get help at the math lab/ tutoring center on campus. INSTRUCTOR CONTACT INFORMATION Name: Office Hours: Office Location: Phone Number: E-mail Address:

CAMPUS MATH LAB/TUTORING CENTER Location: Hours:

Form a study group. A study group provides an opportunity to discuss class material and homework problems. Find at least two other people in your class who are committed to being successful. Exchange contact information and plan to meet or work together regularly throughout the semester either in person or via email or phone. Use your book’s study resources. Additional resources and support materials to help you succeed are available with this book.

NOTEBOOK AND NOTE TAKING Taking good notes and keeping a neat, well-organized notebook are important factors in being successful. YOUR NOTEBOOK

Use a loose-leaf binder divided into four sections 1. notes 2. homework 3. graded tests (and quizzes) 4. handouts TAKING NOTES

• Copy all important information written on the board. Also, write all points that are not clear to you so you can discuss them with your instructor, a tutor, or your study group. • Write explanations of what you are doing in your own words next to each step of a practice problem. • Listen carefully to what your instructor emphasizes and make note of it. AP-51

AP-52

APPENDIX C

CLASS TIME

• Review your notes.

BEFORE CLASS

• If you get stuck on a problem, look for a similar example in your textbook or notes.

• Review your notes from the previous class session. • Read the section(s) of your textbook that will be covered in class to get familiar with the material. Read these sections carefully. Skimming may result in your not understanding some of the material and your inability to do the homework. If you do not understand something in the text, re-read it more thoroughly or seek assistance. DURING CLASS

• Pay attention and try to understand every question your instructor asks.

• Write a question mark next to any problems that you just cannot figure out. Get help from your instructor or the tutoring center or call someone from your study group. • Check your answer after each problem. The answers to the odd-numbered problems are in the back of the textbook. If you are assigned even-numbered problems, try the odd-numbered problem first and check the answer. If your answer is correct, then you should be able to do the even-numbered problem correctly.

• Take good notes. • Ask questions if you do not understand something. It is best to ask questions during class. Chances are that someone else has the same question, but is not comfortable asking it. If you feel that way also, then write your question in your notebook and ask your instructor after class or see the instructor during office hours. AFTER CLASS

• Review your notes as soon as possible after class. Insert additional steps and comments to help clarify the material. • Re-read the section(s) of your textbook. After reading through an example, cover it up and try to do it on your own. Do the practice problem that is paired with the example. (The answers to the practice problems are given in the back of the textbook.)

HOMEWORK The best way to learn math is by doing it. Homework is designed to help you learn and apply concepts and master certain skills. Some tips for doing homework are as follows.

TESTS Tests are a source of anxiety for many students. Being well prepared to take a test can help ease anxiety. BEFORE A TEST

• Review your notes and the sections of the textbook that will be covered on the test. • Read through the 10-Minute Chapter Review in the textbook and your own summary from your notes. • Do additional practice problems. Select problems from your homework to work again. In addition, your textbook contains at the end of every chapter a set of Chapter Review Exercises that provides practice problems for each chapter section. • Use the Assessment Test at the end of the chapter as your practice test. While taking the practice test, do not refer to your notes or the textbook for help. Keep track of how long it takes to complete the test. Check your answers. If you cannot complete the practice test within the time you are allotted for the real test, you may need additional practice in the tutoring center to speed up. DURING A TEST

• Do your homework the same day that you have class. Keeping up with the class requires you to do homework regularly rather than “cramming” right before tests.

• Read through the test before starting.

• Review the section of the textbook that corresponds to the homework.

• Do the problems you know how to do first, and then go back to the ones that are more difficult.

• If you find yourself panicking, relax, take a few slow breaths, and try to do some of the problems that seem easy.

APPENDIX C

• Watch your time. Do not spend too much time on any one problem. If you get stuck while working on a problem, skip it and move on to the next problem. • Check your work, if there is time. Correct any errors you find. AFTER A TEST

• When you get your test back, look through all the problems. • On a separate sheet of paper, do any problems that you missed. Use your notes and textbook, if necessary.

AP-53

• Get help from your instructor or a tutor if you cannot figure out how to do a problem. Or set up a meeting with your study group to go over the test together. Make sure you understand your errors. • Attach the corrections to the test and place it in your notebook.
