Algebra in Words 2: MORE Hints, Strategies and Simple Explanations

By Gregory P. Bullock

This is a follow-up and companion to the first, #1 selling ALGEBRA in WORDS (2014), focusing on: -Absolute Values -Inequalities -Logs, Natural Logs, & Exponentials -Absolute Value Inequalities -Rational Exponents -Radicals -Quadratics & Parabolas -Scientific Notation -Variation & Proportionality -Circles The central theme of this book is: COMMUNICATION, the key element that too many textbooks, instructors, and online videos lack. This book gives clarity to students in classes such as: ALGEBRA 2, INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA, COLLEGE ALGEBRA, & PRE-CALCULUS, and even helps instructors communicate material more effectively. This book is presented in a way to be your own personal tutor, by giving you direct insight into topics and walking you through any type of word problem with detailed PROCEDURES and ANNOTATED EXAMPLES you won''t find in any other book, study guide, or online video. This book is specifically designed to prevent confusion, address questions that many students have, and help you succeed with little effort and guesswork. Keep it open to help you with your homework, use it to learn what you missed in class, and use it to study for exams. The eBook is filled with click-able hyperlinks so you can easily jump to a related topic, example, or definition. It contains the following, detailed chapters: DEFINITIONS SYMBOL & MEANING IN WORDS INCLUSIVE vs. NONINCLUSIVE INTERVAL & SET-BUILDER NOTATION AND vs. OR THE REAL ORDER OF OPERATIONS: GEMA SOLVING (SIMPLE) INEQUALITIES SOLVING ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS SOLVING & GRAPHING A COMPOUND INEQUALITY and ABSOLUTE VALUE INEQUALITIES ASSUMPTIONS for "AND" & "OR" UNION vs. INTERSECTION FUNCTIONS TREND OF A GRAPH GRAPHING LINEAR INEQUALITIES (in two variables) SYSTEMS OF LINEAR INEQUALITIES DIVIDING POLYNOMIALS USING LONG DIVISION SPECIAL CASE: THE SUM OR DIFFERENCE OF TWO CUBES CAN A PERFECT SQUARE ALSO BE A PERFECT CUBE? DIFFERENT WAYS TO SIMPLIFY A RATIONAL EXPRESSION SOLVING AN EQUATION with MANY FACTORS for a PARTICULAR VARIABLE CONVERTING RADICALS & RATIONAL EXPONENTS SIMPLIFYING EXPRESSIONS WITH RATIONAL EXPONENTS FINDING THE DOMAIN OF EVEN-ROOT RADICALS FINDING HIGHER POWERS OF i EVALUATING ROOTS WITH VARIOUS FACTORS & EXPONENTS MULTIPLYING BINOMIALS WITH RADICALS & i RATIONALIZING THE DENOMINATOR SOLVING RADICAL EQUATIONS -with one, two, or three radicals CONSTANTS & COEFFICIENTS DON''T MIX COMPLETING THE SQUARE RECOGNIZING A PERFECT SQUARE TRINOMIAL WHERE DID THE QUADRATIC FORMULA COME FROM? TRANSFORMING A NON-QUADRATIC EQUATION into a QUADRATIC EQUATION, then SOLVING FACTORING TRINOMIALS USING THE ac/GROUPING METHOD PROCEDURE FOR GRAPHING A QUADRATIC EQUATION (PARABOLA) STANDARD FORM EQUATION OF A VERTICAL PARABOLA QUADRATIC INEQUALITIES CONSTRAINTS with "AND" & "OR" RATIONAL INEQUALITIES VARIATION & PROPORTIONALITY CIRCLES -What are h and k? -Procedure for Making the Standard Form Equation of a Circle -Graphing a Circle THE SIMILARITY OF THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM, THE DISTANCE FORMULA & THE CIRCLE EQUATION SCIENTIFIC NOTATION: WHICH WAY DO YOU MOVE THE DECIMAL? LOGS & NATURAL LOGS GRAPHS OF LOGS FMMs (Frequently Made Mistakes) GENERAL TECHNIQUES FOR SUCCESS & IMPROVEMENT Use ALGEBRA IN WORDS 2 to take confusion out of the equation. Gregory P.
