Another way to find the simplest form of a fraction is first to find the greatest
common factor of the numerator and the denominator. Then you can divide the
numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor.

Solution
Discount = Percent off x Regular Price

The discount is $16.47. To find the sale price, subtract the discount from the
regular price. So. $54.90 - $16.47 = $38.43. The sale price is $38.43.

Since the order in which two numbers are multiplied does not affect the product,
4(-3) = (

always negative.

The two integers have different signs, so the product is negative. Thus, just multiply

You aren't given an equivalence between cups and gallons. You will have to perform

Step 1: Find the number of cups in each gallon. Since you are converting from a
larger unit, gallons, to a smaller unit, cups, you will need to multiply.

In many line graphs, one axis is a numerical scale. The other axis usually
represents a period of time. A gap in a scale is indicated by a jagged line. The
data in a line graph are represented by points connected by line segments.
Example 2
Use the line graph shown in the Terms to Know on the previous page. Estimate the
average fuel efficiency for passenger cars in 1993.
Solution
Locate "1993" on the horizontal axis. Move straight up from "1993" until you reach
the line. From this point, move directly left to the vertical axis and estimate the value
on the scale: about 20.5.
The average fuel efficiency for passenger cars in 1993 was about 20.5 mi/gal.
Refer to the line graph shown in the Terms to Know on the previous page.

Example 1
Use the circle graph shown in the Terms to Know on the previous page. If the total
amount of energy produced in the United States in 1996 was about 70 quadrillion
British thermal units (Btu's), about how much energy was produced from natural gas?
Solution
The circle graph shows that the amount of energy produced in the United States in
1996 from natural gas was 27% of the total energy produced.
About 18.9 quadrillion Btu's were produced in the United States from natural gas.
Use the circle graph in the Terms to Know on the previous page. Suppose the
total United States energy production in 1996 was about 70 quadrillion Btu's.
1. About how much energy was produced in the United States from crude oil?
2. About how much energy was produced from fossil fuels, that is, coal,
natural gas, and crude oil?
Circle graphs can also be drawn showing the actual data values in the sectors,
rather than percents.

b. Explain why an advertisement about Ride 1 roller coaster would more likely
Solution"
a. Because of the scale on Graph B, the relative lengths of the bars are misleading.
For example, the bar for the steepest roller coaster in the group. Ride 1 , is five
times as long as those for the two least steep roller coasters. A viewer who looks
at the bar lengths without considering the numerical values of the bars might
conclude that Ride 1 is five times as steep as Ride 4 and Ride 5, but it is actually
much less than twice as steep.
1. Describe the visual impression that Graph B gives of the steepness of Ride 3 and
Ride 5 roller coasters.
2. Explain why the owners of Ride 3 roller coaster might use Graph A in
an advertisement.
The visual impression given by a line graph could be misleading if the choice of graph
scale makes the change in the data over time appear to be more dramatic than it actually is.

b. Which graph would you use to support an argument that the economic situation
in the United States improved greatly during the period from 1988 to 1994?
Solution
a. Graph C makes it appear that the median income for a family of four has improved
slowly but steadily from 1988 to 1994. Graph D makes it appear that the median
income for a family of four increased sharply over that same period of time.
b. Graph D: this graph makes the increases from one year to the next seem
more dramatic than they appear in Graph C.
4. Look at the labels on the horizontal axis of Graph C. What effect do you
think spacing the labels farther apart would have on the visual impression
given by the line graph?

Adding Polynomials
Key Words To add polynomials, combine like terms, then simplify. When adding
• polynomial polynomials, you can use either a vertical format or a horizontal format.
• like terms
• standard form
• opposite

Subtracting Polynomials
To subtract a polynomial, add the opposite of each term of the polynomial
being subtracted and then simplify. For example, the opposite of the
polynomial 3x 2 + 2.x - 5 is — (3.v 2 + 2x — 5) = — 3.y2 — 2.x + 5. You
can use a vertical format or a horizontal format to subtract polynomials.
Example 3
Use a horizontal format to find the difference
(3n 2 + An + 8) - (2/r + n + 5)
Write the answer in standard form.

Solution
Using long division, divide the numerator by the denominator. (The remainder
at each step in the division process is shown in boldface.)
In part (a) of Example 1 , notice that the long division process eventually
results in a remainder of and the division ends. The quotient, 0.05, is
In part (b) of Example 1 , notice that the long division process never ends
because the remainders repeatedly cycle between 25 and 19. The quotient,
0.5757 . . . , is called a repeating decimal because it consists of a block of
digits, 57, that repeats endlessly. Another way to write 0.5757 ... is 0.57
where the bar is used to identify the digits that repeat.
In part (c) of Example 1 , notice that the quotient is also a repeating decimal,
but it has a digit (7) that doesn't repeat in front of a digit (3) that does repeat.
Another way to write 0.733 ... is 0.73 where the bar is placed only over the
repeating digit.

For —19
, the prime factorization of the denominator is 3 1 1 , and none of
the factors of the denominator is also a factor of 10. This forces the
remainder at each stage in the division process to be one of the numbers
from 1 to 32, and as soon as one of these remainders appears a second
time in the division process (after, at most, 32 steps), all the remainders
encountered up to that point will be repeated in the same order over and
over. This causes the digits in the quotient to repeat in the same order over
and over.
the factors of the denominator is also a factor of 10 while the other is not.
