original functions when evaluating a composite function. Write three sentences, each of
which explains how to do this in a slightly different way. (Hint: Use the word closest in
the first sentence, the words inside and outside in the second, and the words left and
right in the third.)

Reading Algebra
In mathematics, the term group has a special meaning. The following
numbered sentences discuss the idea of group and one interesting example
of a group.
01 To be a group, a set of elements and a binary operation must satisfy four
conditions: the set must be closed under the operation, the operation
must be associative, there must be an identity element, and every
element must have an inverse.
02 The following six functions form a group under the operation of
1
composition of functions: f1(x)  x, f2(x)  , f3(x)  1  x,
x
(x  1) x 1
f4(x)  , f5(x)  , and f6(x)  .
x (x  1) (1  x)
03 This group is an example of a noncommutative group. For example,
f3  f2  f4, but f2  f3  f6.

Lesson 7-2
04 Some experimentation with this group will show that the identity
element is f1.
05 Every element is its own inverse except for f4 and f6, each of which is the
inverse of the other.

Operations with Radical Expressions


Operations with Radicals When you add expressions containing radicals, you can
add only like terms or like radical expressions. Two radical expressions are called like
radical expressions if both the indices and the radicands are alike.
To multiply radicals, use the Product and Quotient Properties. For products of the form
(ab  cd )  (ef  gh), use the FOIL method. To rationalize denominators, use
conjugates. Numbers of the form ab   cd
 and ab   cd, where a, b, c, and d are
rational numbers, are called conjugates. The product of conjugates is always a rational
number.

7-6 Spreadsheet Activity


Appreciation and Depreciation

When an asset such as a house increases in value over time, it is said to


appreciate. If the value increases by a fixed percent each year, or other
period of time, the amount y of that quantity after t years is given by
y  a(1  r)t,
where a is the initial amount and r is the percent of increase expressed as a
decimal. You can use a spreadsheet to investigate future values of an asset.
Example Michael Blackstock is considering buying a piece of
investment property for $95,000. The homes in the area are
appreciating at an average rate of 4% per year. Find the expected
value of the home in 1 year, 1 year and 6 months, 4 years, and
6 years and 9 months.
Use rows 1 and 2 to enter the initial amount and the rate Appreciation.xls
of increase. Then use Column A to enter the amounts of A B
time. Enter the numbers of months as a fraction of a year 1 Initial value = $95,000.00
since t is measured in years. Column B contains the 2 Rate = 0.04
formulas for the value of the home. 3

the spreadsheet. Sheet 1 Sheet 2

Exercises

1. If Mr. Blackstock chooses another property in the neighborhood that costs


$99,900, what are the expected values of that home in the same periods of time?

2. What would Mr. Blackstock’s profit be on the $99,900 home if he sold it


after 9 years and 3 months?

3. If an antique chair worth $165.00 increases in value an average of 31%


2
every year, how much will it be worth next year?

4. Often assets like cars decrease in value over time. This asset is said to
depreciate. If the value decreases by a fixed percent each year, or other
period of time, the amount y of that quantity after t years is given by
y  a(1  r)t, where a is the initial amount and r is the percent of decrease
expressed as a decimal. Use a spreadsheet to find the value of a car
purchased for $18,500 after 2 years, 2 years and 6 months, and 4 years
and 3 months if the car depreciates at a rate of 12% per year.

Remember What You Learned


3. One way to remember something is to explain it to another person. Suppose that your
friend Leora thinks that she does not need to check her solutions to radical equations by
substitution because she knows she is very careful and seldom makes mistakes in her
work. How can you explain to her that she should nevertheless check every proposed
solution in the original equation?

Solving Radical Equations and Inequalities
Solve Radical Equations The following steps are used in solving equations that have
variables in the radicand. Some algebraic procedures may be needed before you use these
steps.

Step 1 Isolate the radical on one side of the equation.


Step 2 To eliminate the radical, raise each side of the equation to a power equal to the index of the radical.
Step 3 Solve the resulting equation.
Step 4 Check your solution in the original equation to make sure that you have not obtained any extraneous roots.

Truth Tables
In mathematics, the basic operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division, finding a root, and raising to a power. In logic, the basic operations
are the following: not ( ), and ( ), or ( ), and implies (→).

If p and q are statements, then p means not p; q means not q; p q


means p and q; p q means p or q; and p → q means p implies q. The
operations are defined by truth tables. On the left below is the truth table for
the statement p. Notice that there are two possible conditions for p, true (T)

Lesson 7-7
or false (F). If p is true, p is false; if p is false, p is true. Also shown are the
truth tables for p q, p q, and p → q.

p p p q p q p q p q p q p→q
T F T T T T T T T T T
F T T F F T F T T F F
F T F F T T F T T
F F F F F F F F T

You can use this information to find out under what conditions a complex
statement is true.

Example Under what conditions is p q true?


Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Create the truth table for the statement. Use the information from the truth
table above for p q to complete the last column.

p q p p q
T T F T
T F F F
F T T T
F F T T
The truth table indicates that p q is true in all cases except where p is true
and q is false.

Use truth tables to determine the conditions under which each statement is true.

1. p q 2. p → (p → q)

3. (p q) ( p q) 4. (p → q) (q → p)

7 Rubric for Scoring Pre-AP


(Use to score the Pre-AP question on page 437 of the Student Edition.)

General Scoring Guidelines


• If a student gives only a correct numerical answer to a problem but does not show how
he or she arrived at the answer, the student will be awarded only 1 credit. All extended
response questions require the student to show work.

• A fully correct answer for a multiple-part question requires correct responses for all
parts of the question. For example, if a question has three parts, the correct response to
one or two parts of the question that required work to be shown is not considered a
fully correct response.

• Students who use trial and error to solve a problem must show their method. Merely
showing that the answer checks or is correct is not considered a complete response for
full credit.

1. If a function has an inverse that is also a function, then it must be a
(one-to-one, square root) function.

2. y  3x
  5 is a(n) (square root, inverse) function.

3. The process of forming a new function from two given functions by performing
the two functions in succession is called (rationalizing the denominator,
composition of functions).

4. If you square both sides of a radical equation and obtain a solution


that does not satisfy the original equation, you have found a(n)
(nth root, extraneous solution).

5. 3x
 5 0 and 2x
 1 0 are (radical equations, radical inequalities).

6. The expressions 7  5

8. Equations with radicals that have variables in the radicand are called (like
radical expressions, radical equations).

9. A(n) (conjugate, inverse function) can be found by exchanging the domain and
range of a function.

10. One of the steps that may be necessary to simplify a radical expression
is (composition of functions, rationalizing the denominator).

Define each term in your own words.


11. like radical expressions Sample answer: Two radical expressions are called
like radical expressions if both the indices and the radicands are alike.

12. inverse relation Sample answer: The inverse relation is the set of
ordered pairs obtained by reversing the coordinates of each
ordered pair in a relation.
