P MATH 10 REVIEW FOR TEST #1

Exponents — radicals —polynomials

This review assumes that students have already thoroughly reviewed the content of the three papers and gone over their hand-in assignments.  A package of review material is available.

 

I Exponents

 

Rewrite using a positive exponent:

 

2-5 =

Write as a power of 10

1 000 000 =

Find the product:

Find the quotient (use positive exponents):

Simplify as far as possible:

II Radicals

 

 

 

                 

 

 




III Polynomials

 

 

12xy – 5xy + 2xy =

17a – 24b – 22a + 19b =

(3a – 2b) – (5a + b) =

(3y2 – y – 6) – (2y2 + 5y –7) =

 

5(a+7b) =

 

 

3x(9y – 3c + 3) =

 

3x(2x-3) + 2x(x+4) =

 

 

(x+7)(x–2) =

 

 

=

 

Special products:

(x+2y)2 =

(2x – 7)2 =

(2x + 3)(2x – 3) =

 

 

–5(3a + 5)2 =
