  2. Algebra

    Solve an inequality with a negative coefficient

    Solve a strict linear inequality by division by a negative coefficient.

  3. Expressions & equations

    Solve a linear system by elimination

    Eliminate one variable to solve two simultaneous linear equations.

  4. Algebra

    Evaluate a quadratic function

    Evaluate a squared-variable function at signed inputs.

  5. Algebra

    Solve a factored quadratic

    Use the zero-product property to find both roots.

  6. Functions

    Read a quadratic’s vertex form

    Find the vertex’s x-coordinate from a completed-square expression.

  7. Functions

    Continue a geometric sequence

    Recognize repeated multiplication and use a common ratio to extend a geometric sequence.

AN EXAMPLE FROM THIS CHAPTER

Simplify (2x2)(3x3).

Show answer & explanation

6x5

Multiply the coefficients: 2 × 3 = 6. Add exponents of x: 2+3 = 5. The product is 6x5.
