Energy Resources Unit Review Cheat Sheet
- Solving Linear Equations - Become a balance wizard by isolating the variable on one side of the equation. For example, in 2x + 3 = 7, subtract 3 from both sides and then divide by 2 to find x = 2. Practice this step-by-step approach on different examples to build confidence and speed. Solving Linear Equations Solving Linear Equations
- Factoring Quadratics - Crack the code of quadratics by splitting expressions into two binomials. Remember that x² - 5x + 6 factors neatly into (x - 2)(x - 3), revealing the roots x = 2 and x = 3. Mastering this helps with graphing, solving and simplifying complex algebraic problems. Factoring Quadratics Factoring Quadratics
- Graphing Linear Equations - Turn equations into visual stories by identifying slope and y‑intercept. For y = 2x + 1, slope = 2 gives the rise/run and the intercept (0,1) drops you right onto the y‑axis. Plot a few points and connect them to see your line come alive.

- Solving Systems of Linear Equations - Handle two equations like a super-sleuth by using substitution or elimination. For instance, solve y = 2x and x + y = 6 together to pinpoint the secret values. This skill is vital for real-world problems where multiple conditions intersect. Solving Systems of Linear Equations Solving Systems of Linear Equations
- Laws of Exponents - Become an exponent expert by mastering rules like a❿ * aᵝ = a❿❺ᵝ and (aᵝ)❿ = aᵝ❿. These shortcuts turn massive multiplications into quick power-plays. Play around with different bases and powers for instant "aha!" moments. Laws of Exponents Laws of Exponents
- Domain, Range, and Codomain - Map out where a function lives and what values it can take. For f(x) = x², the domain is all real numbers but the range is y ≥ 0 since squares can't go negative. Understanding these sets is crucial for deeper calculus adventures. Domain, Range, and Codomain Domain, Range, and Codomain
- Simplifying Rational Expressions - Shrink fractions with variables by factoring and canceling common terms. For example, (x² - 9)/(x - 3) simplifies to x + 3 once you spot the difference of squares. This neat trick clears the way for more complex algebra.

- Solving Inequalities - Learn to handle the "greater than" and "less than" signs, flipping them when you multiply or divide by a negative. For instance, solving 2x - 3 > 5 leads you straight to x > 4. Then sketch your solution on a number line for instant clarity. Solving Inequalities Solving Inequalities
- Properties of Real Numbers - Explore commutative, associative, and distributive rules that make algebra flow smoothly. Knowing that a + b = b + a or a(b + c) = ab + ac turns messy expressions into organized solutions. These properties are your toolkit for any math challenge.

- Understanding Polynomials - Dive into expressions with multiple terms and track their degree to predict behavior. For 3x² - 2x + 5, the highest exponent is 2, so it's a second-degree polynomial. Polynomials power everything from simple curves to complex models in science and engineering. Understanding Polynomials Understanding Polynomials
