Many of the processes in algebra are based on an agreement, calledthe order-of-operations agreement, that tells us how to deal withexpressions with more than one operation:
First, carry out those operations enclosed in parentheses.Second, carry out all multiplications and divisions as they occur,left to right.
26 Chapter 2
Third, carry out all additions and subtractions as they occur, leftto right.
If there are exponents, use what is sometimes called the extendedorder-of-operations agreement which instructs us to do the opera-tions involving exponents just before those involving multiplicationsand divisions.
There are four principal processes used in algebra:
Factor To factor an expression means to write the expression asa product. An expression is called completely factored ifall fractions are eliminated by common factoring and if nofurther factoring is possible over the set of integers.
Simplify To simplify a numerical expression means to carry out allthe operations, according to their order, and write youranswer as a single number.
To simplify a polynomial means to carry out all the opera-tions, according to their order, combine similar terms, andwrite your answer by arranging the terms in decreasingdegree. If there are different terms of the same degree, thenthey are arranged alphabetically.
To simplify a rational expression means to carry out all theoperations, according to their order, factor the numeratorand denominator, and make sure that there is no commonfactor (other than 1 or �1). If there is a negative, then the
expression is written in the formp
qor�pq
for positive p
and q.
To simplify a radical expression means to carry out all theoperations, according to their order, and to make sure thatthe following conditions are satisfied:
1. When the radicand is written in completely factoredform, there is no factor raised to a power greater thanor equal to the index of the radical.
2. No radical appears in a denominator.3. No fraction (or negative exponent) appears within a
radical.4. There is no common factor (other than 1) between the
power of the radicand and the index of the radical.
Sometimes the word expand is used instead of simplify.For example, to expand the expression �x C y2 means to
Chapter 2 27
simplify it; that is, write
�x C y2 D x2 C 2xy C y2
Evaluate To evaluate an algebraic expression means to replace thevariable or variables with a given number and then simplifythe expression. In calculus, we often evaluate a function attwo values and then we subtract those values. For example,if the function f�x D x2 C x C 1 is evaluated at x D 2,we have f�2 D 22 C 2C 1 D 7, and if f is evaluated atx D 1, we have f�1 D 12 C 1C 1 D 3. Finally, if wesubtract these evaluations, we getf�2� f�1 D 7� 3 D4. Since this is a frequent calculation, a compact notationis sometimes used:
f�xj21 D f�2� f�1
For example,
[x2 C x C 1]j21 D [22 C 2C 1]� [12 C 1C 1]
D 7� 3

ROOTS
Recall that for any positive even integer n (called the index of theradical) and any positive number x (called the radicand),
y D npx if and only if y > 0 and yn D x
We call y the positive nth root of x. For example, the positive fourthroot of 16 is denoted by 4
p16; we write 4
p16 D 2, since 24 D 16.
For any positive odd integer n and any number x (positive ornegative),
y D npx and only if yn D x
and y is called the nth root of x. For example, 3p�8 D �2, since
��23 D �8.Note that
px2 D jxj for any number x.

The following factoring procedure will work for most of thefactoring problems you encounter in calculus:
To factor an expression: First, look for the greatest commonfactor.Next, check to see if the expression is aspecial type:
Difference of squares: x2 � y2 D �x � y�x C yDifference of cubes: x3 � y3 D �x � y�x2 C xy C y2Sum of cubes: x3 C y3 D �x C y�x2 � xy C y2Perfect square: x2 C 2xy C y2 D �x C y2
x2 � 2xy C y2 D �x � y2
Finally, if the expression is a trinomial, factor it into two binomials.Sometimes, grouping the terms will help you to factor.
EXAMPLE 2.1 Common factoring

2.5 SOLVING EQUATIONS
Even though there are many aspects of algebra that are important tothe scientist and mathematician, the ability to solve simple equationsis important to the layperson and can be used in a variety of everydayapplications.
Pay attention to the difference between an expression and an equation.Also, note that ‘‘to solve’’ is not the same as ‘‘to simplify.’’ Anequation is a statement of equality. There are three types of equations:true, false, and open. An open equation is an equation with a variable.
Chapter 2 35
A true equation is an equation that lacks variables and that is true,such as
2C 3 D 5
A false equation is an equation that lacks variables and that is false,such as
2C 3 D 15
Our focus is on open equations — those equations with a variable. Thevalues that make an open equation true are said to satisfy the equationand are called the solutions or roots of the equation. To solve an openequation is to find all replacements for the variable(s) that make theequation true. There are three types of open equations. Those that arealways true, such as
x C 3 D 3C xare called identities. Those that are always false, such as
x C 3 D 4C xare called contradictions. Most open equations, such as
2C x D 15
are true for some replacements of the variable and false for otherreplacements. These are called conditional equations. Generally, whenwe speak of equations, we mean conditional equations. Our concern insolving equations is to find the numbers that satisfy a given equation,so we look for things to do to equations to make the solutions orroots more obvious. Two equations with the same solutions are calledequivalent equations. An equivalent equation may be easier to solvethan the original equation, so we try to get successively simplerequivalent equations until the solution is obvious. There are certainprocedures you can use to create equivalent equations. In this section,we will discuss solving the two most common types of equations youwill encounter: linear and quadratic.
Linear equations : ax C b D 0 �a 6D 0
Quadratic equations : ax2 C bx C c D 0 �a 6D 0
Linear Equations
To solve the first-degree (or linear) equation, isolate the variable onone side. That is, the solution of ax C b D 0 is
x D �ba, where a 6D 0
36 Chapter 2
To solve a linear equation, use the following steps:
Step 1: Use the distributive property to clear the equation of paren-theses. If the equation is a rational expression, multiply both sides bythe appropriate expression to eliminate the denominator. Be sure tocheck the solutions obtained by ‘‘plugging’’ the values back into theoriginal equation.
Step 2: Add the same number to both sides of the equality to obtainan equation in which all of the terms involving the variable are on oneside and all of the other terms are on the other side.
Step 3: Multiply (or divide) both sides of the equation by the samenonzero number to isolate the variable on one side.
EXAMPLE 2.9 Solving a linear equation
Solve 4�x � 3C 5x D 5�8C x.
Solution
4�x � 3C 5x D 5�8C x4x � 12C 5x D 40C 5x
9x � 12 D 40C 5x
4x � 12 D 40
4x D 52
x D 13

� x � 2 D �4
Chapter 2 37
� x D �2
x D 2
Notice that x D 2 causes division by 0, so the solution set is empty. �

Quadratic Equations: To solve a second-degree (or quadratic)equation, first obtain a zero on one side. Next, try to factor thequadratic. If it is factorable, set each factor equal to zero and solve. Ifit is not factorable, use the quadratic formula:

2.6 Completing the Square
In Section 1.1 of the text, this procedure of completing the square isused to find the equation of a circle.
In algebra, the method of completing the square was first introducedas a technique for solving quadratic equations. The method leads to aproof of the quadratic formula. However, when we are working withconic sections, we need to complete the square whenever the conic isnot centered at the origin. (See Chapters 6 and 7 of this Handbook.)Consider
Ax2 C Bx CC D 0
We wish to put this into the form
�xC?2 D some number
To do this, we perform the following steps below:
Step 1: Subtract C (the constant term) from both sides:
Ax2 C Bx D �C
Step 2: Divide both sides by A. (A 6D 0; if A D 0, the equation wouldnot be quadratic.) That is, we want the coefficient of the squared termto be 1. The result of dividing by A is
x2 C B
Ax D �C
A
40 Chapter 2
Step 3: Add
(B

)2
to both sides. That is, take one-half of the
coefficient of the first-degree term, square it, and add it to both sides:

Ax C

2.7 Solving Inequalities
Linear Inequalities
The first-degree inequality is solved following the steps outlined in theprevious section for solving first-degree equations. The only differenceis that, when we multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by
42 Chapter 2
a negative value, the order of the inequality is reversed. That is, ifa < b, then
aC c < bC c for any number c
a� c < b� c for any number c
ac < bc for any positive number c
ac > bc for any negative number c
A similar result holds if we use �,>, or ½.Answers to inequality problems are often intervals on a real-number
line. We use the following notation for intervals:
Interval notation is first introduced in Section 1.1 of the text.Interval notation is used in stating the solutions to most inequal-ities. You might wish to review in this section how intervalnotation is used.
closed interval (endpoints included) :
a b [a, b]
open interval (endpoints excluded) :
a b�a, b
a �a,1half-open (or half-closed) interval :
a b�a, b]
a b [a, b
a��1, a]
To denote two intervals that are not connected, we use the notationfor the union of two sets:
a b c d[a, b [ �c, d]
a b c[a, b [ �b, c]
EXAMPLE 2.21 Solving a linear inequality
Solve 5x C 3 < 3x � 15.
Chapter 2 43
Solution
2x C 3 < �15
2x < �18
x < �9
The solution is ��1,�9. �

�9x � 5 � x � 6
�10x � �1
x ½ 1
10
The solution set is [0.1,1). �
The word between is often used with a double inequality. We saythat x is between a and b if a < x < b and that x is between a and b,inclusive if a � x � b.
EXAMPLE 2.23 Solving a between relationship
Solve �5 � x C 4 � 5.
Solution
�5 � x C 4 � 5
�5� 4 � x C 4� 4 � 5� 4
�9 � x � 1
The solution set is [�9, 1]. We say that x is between �9 and 1,inclusive. �Quadratic Inequalities
The method of solving quadratic inequalities is similar to the methodof solving quadratic equations:
44 Chapter 2
Step 1: Obtain a zero on one side of the inequality.
Step 2: Factor if possible. If the inequality is a rational expression,factor the numerator and the denominator separately.
Step 3: Set each factor equal to zero. These values are not necessarilythe solution of the inequality. If the inequality is not factorable, wetreat the entire expression as a single factor and solve by the quadraticformula. Values for which the factors are zero are called the criticalvalues of x. Plot these values on a number line. The points determineone or more intervals on the line.
Step 4: Choose some value in each interval. It will make theinequality true or false in that interval; we accordingly include orexclude that interval from the solution set.

Solve x2 < 6� x.
Solution

Factors
< 0
Product of factors < 0 means that the product of factors is negative;product of factors > 0 means that the product of factors is positive.For this example, we are seeking values of x that make the product ofthe factors negative.

Solution Be careful not to multiply both sides by �x � 2, sincewe do not know whether �x � 2 is positive or negative. We couldconsider separate cases, but instead we solve the inequality as if it werequadratic. We set the numerator and denominator each equal to zeroto obtain the critical values x D �3, x D 2. We then plot these valueson a number line and check a value in each interval to determine thesolution.

Solve x2 C 2x � 4 < 0.
Solution The left-hand expression is in simplified form and cannotbe factored. Therefore, we proceed by considering �x2 C 2x � 4 as asingle factor. To find the critical values, we find the values for whichthe factor is zero:

2.8 Determinants
Determinants are used in calculus in several places. We first seethem in Section 9.4 of the text, when they are used as memorydevices of an operation called the cross product. In Sections12.3 and 12.8, we use determinants to calculate what is calledthe Jacobian of a transformation. Finally, in Chapter 14, theWronskian is defined in terms of an nð n determinant.
The following arrays of numbers are examples of matrices:(a1 b1
a2 b2
)( a1 b1
a2 b2
a3 b3
)(a1 b1 c1 d1
a2 b2 c2 d2
)
The first of these matrices has two rows and two columns and is calleda ‘‘two-by-two matrix’’ (written ‘‘2ð 2 matrix’’), the second is a3ð 2 matrix, since it has three rows and two columns, and the lastone is a 2ð 4 matrix. The a’s, b’s, c’s, etc., that appear are called theentries of the matrix. An nð n matrix (i.e., a matrix with n rows andn columns, and hence a matrix with the same number of rows andcolumns) is called a square matrix. Associated with each square matrixis a certain number called the determinant of the matrix. We shallshow how to find the determinant of a 2ð 2 matrix and a 3ð 3 matrix.
48 Chapter 2
DETERMINANT
If A is the 2ð 2 matrix
[a bc d
], then the determinant of A
is defined to be the number ad� bc.
Some notations for this determinant are det A,
∣∣∣∣ a bc d
∣∣∣∣, and jAj. We
will generally use jAj.WARNING Note that determinants always have the same number of rowsand columns; that is, they are square: 2ð 2, 3ð 3, 4ð 4, Ð Ð Ð.EXAMPLE 2.30 Evaluating determinants

We next define the determinant of a 3ð 3 matrix. We need apreliminary observation. If we delete the first row and first column ofthe matrix
A D[ a1 b1 c1
a2 b2 c2
a3 b3 c3
]
We obtain the 2ð 2 matrix
[b2 c2
b3 c3
]. This 2ð 2 matrix is referred to
as the minor associated with the entry in the first row and first column.Similarly, the minor associated with b1 is obtained by deleting the first
row and second column of A, and hence this minor is
[a2 c2
a3 c3
]. The
minor associated with c1 is
[a2 b2
a3 b3
]. The determinant of the 3ð 3
matrix A is obtained by using these minors as follows:
jAj D a1
∣∣∣∣ b2 c2

∣∣∣∣� b1
∣∣∣∣ a2 c2

We found the determinant for a 3ð 3 matrix by using the entries in thefirst row and their minors. In fact, it is possible to find the determinantusing any row (or column); the formulas are similar and use theminors of the terms in the given row (or column), but adjustmentsmust be made for the signs of the minors. The interested reader canfind these results in any standard college algebra book. The followingfour properties of determinants are worth noting:
HANDBOOK THEOREM 2 Properties of determinants
Property 1 If B is the matrix obtained from A by multi-plying a row (or column) of A by a realnumber k, then jBj D kjAj.
Property 2 If B is the matrix obtained from A by addingto a row (or column) of A a multiple of someother row (or column) of A, then jBj D jAj.
Property 3 If the matrix B is obtained from A byinterchanging two rows (or columns), thenjBj D �jAj.
Property 4 If two rows (or columns) of a matrix A areequal or proportional, then jAj D 0. �

2.10 Polynomials
THEOREMS Let P�x and Q�x be polynomial functions.
Zero factor theorem: If P�xQ�x D 0, then either P�x D 0 orQ�x D 0 (or both).
Remainder theorem: If P�x is divided by x � r until a constant isobtained, then the remainder is equal to P�r.
Intermediate-value theorem for a polynomial function: If P�xis a polynomial function on [a, b] such that P�a 6D P�b, then P takeson every value between P�a and P�b over the interval [a, b].
Factor theorem: If r is a root of the polynomial equation P�x D 0,then x � r is a factor of P�x. Also, if x � r is a factor of P(x), then ris a root of the polynomial equation P�x D 0.
Root limitation theorem: A polynomial function of degree n has,at most, n distinct roots.
Location theorem: If P is a polynomial function such that P�a andP�b are opposite in sign, then there is at least one real root on theinterval [a, b].
Rational root theorem: If P�x has integer coefficients and has arational root p/q (where p/q is reduced), then p is a factor of theconstant term, a0, and q is a factor of the leading coefficient, an.
Upper and lower bound theorem: If a > 0 and, in the syntheticdivision of P�x by x � a, all the numbers in the last row are eitherpositive or negative, then a is an upper bound for the roots ofP�x D 0.If b < 0 and, in the synthetic division of P�x by x � b, the numbersin the last row alternate in sign, then b is a lower bound for the rootsof P�x D 0.
Descartes’s rule of signs: Let P�x be written in descending powersof x. Then
1. The number of positive real zeros is equal to the number of signchanges or is equal to that number decreased by an even integer.
Chapter 2 53
2. The number of negative real zeros is equal to the number of signchanges in P��x or is equal to that number decreased by aneven integer.
Fundamental theorem of algebra: If P�x is a polynomial ofdegree n ½ 1 with complex coefficients, then P�x D 0 has at leastone complex root.
Number-of-roots theorem: If P�x is a polynomial of degree n ½ 1with complex coefficients, then P�x D 0 has exactly n roots (if rootsare counted according to their multiplicity).
