The End of the Beginning
1.3 Multiply and Divide
Multiplication = Repeated addition of the
same number
2 times 3 = 2 + 2 + 2
The numbers being multiplied = factors
The answer to a multiplication problem =
product
Ways to show multiplication
Dot
Parenthesis (on one of all of the factors)
4(7) or (4)(7)
Nothing ( like 3 times B is 3B)
Big Problems
439 (206)
Multiple Multiplication
4(5)(7)(1)
Properties of Multiplication
1. If you multiply by zero, you get zero
2. If you multiply a factor by one, you get that factor
4x=4
x=1
3. If you have a problem where everything is being
multiplied (i.e. no addition, subtraction, etc.) the
order in which you multiply does not matter.
(2*3)4 = 2(3*4)
Try a few
Find the product of 8,704 and 93
809,472
Evaluate 8ab when a = 4 and b = 2
8*4*2 = 8 * 8 = 64
What’s 70 * 9,000 (Hint, there is a shortcut)
Take 7 * 9 and add 4 zeros = 630,000
Is 11 a solution for 11x = 121
Yes because 11*11 = 21
Exponents
That little number at the top right
23 = 2*2*2 = 8
In ab, a is the base
Multiple Exponents (Numbers and Variables)
1432 = 1*1*1*1*3*3
c2b3 = c*c*b*b*b
Division
Important Note
Top = Numerator
Bottom = Denominator
Zero can never be the Denominator
That is undefined
Try a few more
What is 24(32)
144
What is 80

What’s 7694/24 ?
320r14 or 320.583333333333333333
Applications and formulas
Area of a rectangle = length times width
Area of a square = side times side
Rate = distance / time
Prime Factorization
Use your method or the Tree method
Prime number Divisible by 1 and itself.
12 = 3 * 4 = 3 *2*2 = 3 *22
Question: What is the exponent on the 3?
Try 56, 28
Note: Factors are all the different possibilities

1.4 Equations
Equations have an equals sign!
x+ 3 = 7
Remember solving algebraic equations is all
about opposites.
i.e. do the opposite of the whatever the
mathematical operation.
Solving Stuff
What you want
The variable to = a constant
Like y=5
What's the opposite of:
Addition
Subtraction
Multiplication
Division
Exponents
Square Roots
First form
X+a=b
X+3=5
Try to get simplify first (PEMDAS)
Try to isolate the variable
Do the opposite
X+3 =5
-3 -3
X =2
Example
Y+5=9
-5 -5
Y =4
Check your answer
Sub in what you found for Y into the original equation
Does 4+5 = 9
You Bet!
Things are what they appear
3=T+1
It’s the same thing
3=T+1
-1
-1
2=T
Check your answer
The second type
Form ax=b
2x=6
What’s the operation between the 2 and the x?
What's the opposite?
Do it!
2x=6

Using the formula A = P + I, where A is the investment
value, P is the original investment, and I is the
interest, to find the interest earned on an original
investment of $18,000 that now has a value $21,060.
