Practice solving a system of equations with the same variable.
There is often more than one way to group a polynomial expression for factoring. The commutative law can be applied to rearrange the terms into different factorable groups.
A polynomial with four terms can be factored by grouping when there is no factor common to all four terms. The procedure is demonstrated and the process checked using the FOIL method and applying the commutative law.
Simplifying expressions in which a fraction is raised to a power.
Summary of the distributive law.
Solving a practical problem algebraically using multiplication of a monomial by a trinomial.
This clip explains how to use the sum of the angles property of triangles to find the measure of an unknown angle when the measure of the other two angles is known.
This clip introduces a type of number sentence known as an equation, which the clip describes as "a kind of balance scale" having two parts connected by an equal sign.
This clip looks at a feature of isosceles triangles that has to do with altitude (or height). "The altitude is a perpendicular line segment from the base to the vertex of the opposite angle," the clip explains. "The altitude bisects the base and opp...
This clip focuses on isosceles triangles, explaining that the equal sides are called the legs, while the remaining side is called the base. The clip notes that the base angles have the same measure, adding that, "Â…this feature of an isosceles trian...
