Objectives
How do we find solutions of equations?
By the end of this chapter, you should be able to...
Solve linear equations in one variable. Solve linear inequalities in one variable and express the solution graphically and using interval notation.
Solve application problems involving linear equations.
Given two points, determine the distance between them and the midpoint of the line segment connecting them.
Solve linear equations involving an absolute value. Solve linear inequalities involving absolute values and express the answers graphically and using interval notation.
Solve quadratic equations using factoring, the square root property, completing the square, and the quadratic formula and express these answers in exact form.
