1. Write in radical notation and simplify if possible.
253/2
2. Assume all variables are positive real numbers. Write the following radicands with rational exponents and simplify if possible.
3. Solve for x
(x + 2)(x - 2) = 15 + (x +1)(x - 7)
Check your solution by substituting your solution in the original equation.
4. Solve for x
Cancel x-5.
4x=20
4(5)=20 , x=5
5. Compute the slope of the line determined by the given equations.
5x + 4y = 1
6. Compute the slope of the line determined by the given points. Use ∆ y and ∆ x notation.
(12, 8), (0, 16)
7. Graph the following using the x and y-intercepts.
8x + 10y = 12
8. Find the equation of the following lines. Write your answer in slope-intercept form.
Through (-1, 5) with m = -1
9. Find the area bounded by the following. y = |x| and y = 4
10. Let h(x) = x2-1.
Evaluate (b) h(-2)
11. Solve each system using either the elimination method or the substitution method. Verify your
result by graphing each system. Indicate the point of intersection on your graph.
2x + y = 7
-2x + 3y = 5
12. Two people set out simultaneously from two locations 12 miles apart and walk toward each other. One person walks 5 miles an hour faster than the other. Find the rate of speed of each person if they meet in one hour and ten minutes.

1. Write in radical notation and simplify if possible.
253/2
A: 253/2=(52)3/2=53=125
2. Assume all variables are positive real numbers. Write the following radicands with rational exponents and simplify if possible.
A:
Note: x and y are both positive as mentioned in the question.
3. Solve for x
(x + 2)(x - 2) = 15 + (x +1)(x - 7)
Check your solution by substituting your solution in the original equation.
A: (x+2)(x-2)=x2-4 and 15+(x+1)(x-7)=15+x2-6x-7=8+x2-6x
So x2-4=8+x2-6x.
So 6x=12 and x=2.
Check: when x=2, left side=(4)(0)=0, right side=15+(2+1)(2-7)=15-15=0.
So x=2 is the ...
