Notes:  Ratio and Proportion Part I

                        Objective:         Find Ratios and Rates.

                                                Solve Proportions.

                        Tennessee Curriculum Standards:  1.7, 2.6, 3.14

 

            Ratio – comparison of 2 numbers by division

            If a and b are different units, then the ratio a/b is a rate.

            Unit Rate – rate has a denominator of 1.  (divide to get decimal solution).

            Ex.  Miles/gallon           Cost/ounce       Cost/pound      Students/Teacher

 

Problem 1.  Find a unit rate for:            a 12 pack of 12 ounce cans for $2.50 and for $4.88.

                                                Driving 249 miles in 4 Ύ hours.

 

Proportion – two equal ratios

                        a/b = c/d          This is “a is to b as c is to d”

                        A and D are the “extremes”, B and C are the “means”

            Solve a proportion for a missing variable by:

                        Multiply both sides of “=” by LCD

                        A/4 = 7/10                   LCD = 20

                        5A = 14

                        A = 2 4/5

 

Problem 2.  Solve each proportion by multiplying both sides of the “=” by the LCD.

                        x/6 = 9/4,                     11/15 = x/9

            Notes:  Proportions and Percents

                        Objective:        Use Proportions When Solving a Percent Problem.

                                                Write and Solve Percent Problems.

                        Tennessee Curriculum Standards:  1.7, 2.2, 2.8

 

                        Percent actually means “per 100”

                                    45% = 45/100 = 9/20

Show the “is over of, % over 100” model

                                    Is (part)           =          %

                                    Of (whole)                  100

                        To solve:

                                    Read problems and determine the part (is), the whole (of), the percentage (%), and fill in the boxes.  Be careful, sometimes the % and the “is” can be confused if you aren’t thinking!

Solve with cross products

                                    What % is 45 of 120?

                                    67% of 250 is what?

                                    175 is 38.5% of what #?

                        Simple Interest Formula   I = PRT

                                    Given any three, find the fourth.

                                    I = $450, R = 12%, P = $2,000.00, Find T.

 

Problem 2.  I = $1200, R = 9%, T = 5, Find P.

 

                        Estimating %

                                    Find a % that is close (ex, if asked to find 48%, then find 50%).

                                    Hint - 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% are easy to find.

Problem 1.  What is the percent change in the price of school lunches for this year?

                                    $2.10 to $2.65

 

Greatest Possible Error

-          No measure is exact.

-          You measure to the nearest “something” (in, cm, ft, mile, etc)

-          The “Greatest Possible Error” is ½ of that unit.

o   Ex. It is about 18 miles from my driveway to Cook Soccer Park.

§  The distance is measured to the nearest mile.

§  Greatest possible error is ½ mile or 0.5 mile.

o   Ex.  It is 37.8 miles on my van’s odometer from my driveway to Best Buy.

§  The distance is measured to the nearest 1/10th  (0.1)of a mile.

§  Greatest Possible Error is ½ of 1/10th (0.10)

·         1/20 or 0.05

 

Problem 2.  Ex. You measure a line on your paper to be 0.224m.  The distance is measured to the nearest 1/1000 of a m.  Find the GPE.

(GPE is ½ of  1/1000 (0.001) or 1/2000 (0.0005)m)

 

Percent error = Greatest possible error/measurement

-          Find Percent error with the distance to Best Buy.

o   0.05/37.8 = 0.001322 = 0.1322%

-          If my odometer measures the distance to the store as three tenths of a mile, what is the percent error?

            Notes:  Probability

                        Objective:        Find Theoretical Probability.

                                                Find Experimental Probability.

                        Tennessee Curriculum Standards:  1.7, 3.5, 3.10, 4.5

 

Probability is the likelihood that an event will occur.

o   Outcome – result of a single trial.  (Roll a die – get a 3)

o   Event – any outcome or group of outcomes that you are seeking. 

§  P(even), or P(odd), or P(prime), or P(5)

o   Sample Space – all possible outcomes.(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

o   Favorable Outcomes – event is odd #, then 1, 3, 5.

-          When all outcomes are equally likely, you can measure

o   Theoretical Probability – ratio of (# of favorable outcomes)/(# of possible outcomes)

o   Certain event – probability is 1.  (What is probability of choosing a teenager from students in here?

o   Impossible event – Probability is zero.  (What is the probability that Mr. Allred will ever change his mind about anything?)

-          Complement of an event – all outcomes not in the event.

o   If event is even #’s, the complement is the odd numbers.

 

Problem 1.  What is the theoretical probability that you would randomly choose a male from the students in this room?

 

-          Experimental Probability 

o   P(event) = (number of times the event occurs)/(number of times the experiment is done)

§  15 IBM computers out of 100 don’t work out of the box.          15/100 is experimental probability

·         3/20 simplified.

§  Survey answers are “experiments”

·         Will you pay more for the “unedited” versions of popular songs?

            Notes:  Adding and Subtracting Polynomials Part I

                        Objective:        Describe Polynomials.

                        Tennessee Curriculum Standards:       2.3

 

                        Monomial – a number, variable, or product of a number and variables.

                        Example:  4, m, and -3.5x y3 are all monomials, 4 + m, 5/x are not.

 

Problem 1.  Monomial or not?  Why?       A. 14-x    B.  7x2      C.  3/x       D.  x/3

 

                        Degree of a monomial is the sum of all the exponents of its variables.

                                    The degree of a constant is 0.  (What is the sum of the exp of var?)

                        Example:  5x4y2 , degree: 6;    7x, degree: 1; 12, degree: 0

 

Problem 2.  Find the degree of each term.  15m, 4a, -3x7 y10 

 

                        Polynomial – sum of 2 or more monomials.

                                    M + 4, 3x2 + 5x + 8 are polynomials.

                                    Standard form of a polynomial – list the monomials in descending order by degree.

                        Example:  5x – 8 + 4x2 in standard form is 4x2 + 5x – 8

 

                        Degree of a polynomial – is the degree of the monomial with the highest degree.

            Example:  The degree of 4x2 + 5x – 8 is 2.  The degree of x5y2 + 5x4 – 8x2 is 7

 

Problem 3.  Put this polynomial in standard form and determine it’s degree.

                        -8x2 – 2x y2 z + 6x3 + 7x

Notes:  Adding and Subtracting Polynomials Part II

                        Objective:        Identify Polynomials

Add and Subtract Polynomials

                        Tennessee Curriculum Standards:       2.3

 

                        Identifying Polynomials       

Monomial – one term              7x, 3, or 4x3 

                        Binomial – two terms              5x + 3

                        Trinomial – three terms           3x2 + 5x + 8

                        Identifying Polynomials

-          Classify by degree and number of terms, for example

                                                                          i.      4th degree binomial                        5x4 + 7x

                                                                        ii.      quadratic (2nd degree) trinomial    3x2 + 5x + 8

*****(See chart page 457)*****

                                                                      iii.      Discuss

1.      constants (degree is 0, this is integers or real numbers)

2.      linear (degree is 1, this is the lines we have been graphing)

3.      quadratic (degree of 2, graph is a curve, coming soon)

4.      cubic (3rd degree)

5.      4th degree

 

Problem 1.  Identify the following polynomial by degree and number of terms.  (ie. 12th degree dodekanomial or something like that)

                        3x5 + 5x3 + 8x

 

                        Adding Polynomials (this is just combining like terms)

-          Put the polynomials in standard form

-          Line up the like terms 

-          Add vertically

Example: (5x4 + 15 + 4x + 3x2) + (4x - 22 + 8x3 - 8x2) becomes;

 

(5x4 +            3x2 + 4x + 15) +

          (8x3 + -8x2 + 4x + -22)

5x4 + 8x3 + -5x2 + 8x + -7

 

Problem 1.  Simplify (x - 7x4 + 19 - x3) + (-9x – 3x4 + 2x3 - 4x2)

 

-          To subtract, line up vertically, line up like terms, and change the sign of all the terms in the second set of parenthesis.

(7x4 + 4x2           + 13) -

        (-3x2 + 6x + -17)

        

becomes

 

(7x4 + 4x2           + 13) +

          (3x2 + -6x + 17)

7x4 +  7x2 +  -6x + 30

 

Problem 2.  Simplify (5x3 - x4 + 7 - 3x) - (-9x – 6x4 + 2x3 - 4)
