Summary
Introductory Algebra is taught in English to advance students’ abilities to think mathematically in the English
language. Incorporating MyMathLab will
help ensure mastery of elementary algebraic skills and concepts, which include: Real Number System; Equations, Inequalities, and Applications; Graphs of Linear Equations and Inequalities in Two Variables; Systems of Equations and Inequalities; Exponents and Polynomials; Factoring and Applications; Rational Expressions and Applications; Roots and Radicals; and Quadratic Equations. Among the other mathematical skills the students will develop the ability to view interrelated principles of mathematics, reason mathematically, communicate mathematically and synthesize mathematical ideas and problem-solving approaches.

5.1 Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
5.2 The Product Rule and Power Rules for Exponents
(MONOmial x BIONOmial)
(BIONOmial x BIONOmial) <--- FOIL Method
(BIONOmial x TRINOmial)
5.4 Special Products (Square Binomials)
(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2. <--- squaring a binomial
(a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
(a + b)(a – b) = a2 – b2 <-- Product of the Sum and Difference of Two Terms
5.5 Integer Exponents and the Quotient Rule
Product rule am · an = am+n
Zero exponent a0 = 1 (a ≠ 0)
Negative exponent a-1 = 1/a
Quotient rule am / an = am-n
5.6 Dividing a Polynomial by a Monomial
(a+b) / c = a/c+ b/c
5.7 Dividing a Polynomial by a Polynomial
Long Division
5.8 An Application of Exponents: Scientific Notation
