One of the most common challenges in learning mathematics is the cumulative nature of the subject—each new concept builds upon previous knowledge. Some students may find that their understanding of earlier concepts has become rusty, or perhaps was never fully developed.

In this first chapter, we review fundamental mathematical concepts that are essential for success in algebra. Whether these topics are entirely new to you or simply need refreshing, each section is designed to build understanding from the ground up. Even if you feel confident with this material, take time to work through the study guides of each section. This will help ensure you have the solid foundation needed for the concepts that follow.

This chapter bridges the gap between algebra and geometry, demonstrating how these two branches of mathematics can be used together to solve problems. We will explore how geometric ideas can be expressed with algebraic equations and how algebraic equations can be visualized graphically.

Key Ideas:

Analytic Geometry: We will explore the principles of analytic geometry, a method pioneered by René Descartes. Analytic geometry uses a coordinate system to link geometric shapes with algebraic expressions.
The Coordinate Plane: We will explore how points are represented using a two-dimensional coordinate system. We will learn how to identify and plot points, how distances between points can be calculated, and how this will help us in our study of curves in the plane.
Geometric Interpretation of Equations: We will see how algebraic equations, for example, equations of circles and lines, can be represented as curves in the coordinate plane. We will also learn how to determine their equations based on their properties.
Geometric Properties with Algebra: We will develop algebraic tools to determine properties of geometric objects, such as the distance between a point and a line, and the conditions for parallel and perpendicular lines.
Intercepts: We will examine how graphs intersect the x and y axes, called the intercepts. We will also see how intercepts help describe the main features of curves.

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to move fluently between algebraic expressions and their geometric representations, giving you a powerful set of tools to solve a variety of problems. This approach forms the foundation for advanced topics in mathematics, science, and engineering.

Functions","sequence":2,"chapter_content":"

In our daily life, we deal with charts, graphs, tables of numbers, formulas, etc. In fact, these are devices for qualitative description of certain relations between two groups of objects. Specific types of these relations are called functions.

Functions are of great importance in the entire modern mathematics. Particularly, in calculus, we talk about functions all the time. We find the limit of functions, we differentiate functions, and we integrate functions.

In this chapter, some of the topics that we talk about are:

The definition of functions, their domain, codomain, and range
Graphs of functions
How to distinguish a function from other types of relations by looking at its graph
Odd and even functions
Elementary functions that we see most of the time in calculus
Constructing new functions from the old ones
Increasing and decreasing functions
Inverse functions
Periodic functions

Functions that cannot be expressed in terms of a finite sequence of algebraic operations are studied in a separate chapter.

Equations and inequalities are fundamental tools in mathematics that allow us to model and solve real-world problems. When we want to find unknown values, compare quantities, or describe relationships between different variables, we often express these situations using equations or inequalities. Whether you’re calculating the break-even point for a business, determining the time it takes for an investment to reach a certain value, or analyzing the range of possible solutions for an engineering problem, the concepts in this chapter will provide you with essential problem-solving techniques.

In this chapter, we’ll begin by reviewing what equations are and the important distinction between conditional equations and identities. You’ll learn how equations can have one solution, multiple solutions, or sometimes no solution at all. We’ll then explore various types of equations, starting with linear equations (equations in the form \\(ax + b = 0\\) ) and progressing to more complex forms including:

Power equations, where variables appear with different exponents
Quadratic equations, including multiple solution methods like completing the square and the quadratic formula
Equations involving fractions and radicals, which require special attention to avoid introducing extraneous solutions

The chapter also covers inequalities, which are mathematical statements that compare quantities using symbols like \\(<\\) , \\(>\\) , \\(\\leq\\) or \\(\\geq\\) . You’ll learn systematic approaches for solving different types of inequalities, including linear, quadratic, and rational inequalities. We’ll also explore absolute value equations and inequalities, which have important applications in describing distances and margins of error in real-world situations.

Throughout the chapter, you’ll find numerous examples and practice problems that progress from basic to more challenging applications. These examples will help you develop problem-solving strategies and recognize which techniques to apply in different situations. By the end of this chapter, you’ll have a strong foundation in solving equations and inequalities, preparing you for more advanced mathematical concepts and real-world applications.

Remember that the skills you learn here will be essential for future topics in mathematics, including functions, calculus, and differential equations. They also form the basis for many practical applications in fields like physics, engineering, economics, and data science.
