Unit I Expressions and Equations

Chapter 1 Factoring Polynomials

Lesson 1 Factoring by the Greatest Common Factor

Math Online
Math Concepts
Factoring is the process of writing polynomials as a product of two or more numbers or
terms. Factoring polynomials can be done by identifying the greatest common factor and pulling
it out of the polynomial expression. This greatest common factor may be a monomial, binomial,
or even a polynomial.

Math Links
Math Link 1
The website https://www.purplemath.com/modules/simpfact.htm describes the process of
finding the greatest common factor of polynomials. It also discusses how to find the common
factors that are not monomial in form. In the third tab on Page 3, you will be shown how to
properly group polynomials (i.e., factoring by grouping) to get the common factor. Study
each of the examples and try factoring them out before reading the explanation to check if
your answer is correct.

Lesson 2 Factoring General Trinomials

Math Online

Math Concepts
Trinomials in the form x2 + Bx + C can be factored by identifying two integers a and b
such that ab = C and a + b = B. The coefficient of x is written as a + b and factoring by grouping
is performed. The factors of x2 + Bx + C come in the form (x + a)(x + b). On the other hand,
trinomials in the form Ax2 + Bx + C, where A ≠ 1 involve identifying two integers a and b such
that ab = AC and a + b = B. The coefficient of x is written as a + b and factoring by grouping is
performed.

Math Concepts
This lesson discusses factoring techniques that involve special products (perfect square
trinomials, difference of two squares, and sum or difference of two cubes). When factoring using
special products, it is important to recognize the type of special product to know the appropriate
factoring techniques. Common factors must also be factored out first before applying techniques
on factoring special products.

The process of adding and subtracting rational expressions with like and unlike
denominators works similarly with adding and subtracting rational numbers. If the denominators
are the same, add or subtract the numerators and copy the same denominator. If the denominators
are different, rewrite the rational expressions using the LCD, then follow the rules for adding
similar rational expressions. Final answers must always be reduced to simplest form.

Chapter 3 Linear Equations

Lesson 1 The Cartesian Coordinate System

Math Online

Math Concepts

The Cartesian coordinate system, also known as the rectangular coordinate system, is
used to locate each point uniquely in a plane using its coordinates (x, y). The x-coordinate tells
how far the point is from the y-axis while the y-coordinate tells how far the point is from the x-
axis. The quadrants describe the signs of the coordinates—both are positive on the first quadrant,
the x-coordinate is negative on the second and third quadrants and the y-coordinate is negative on
the third and fourth quadrants.

A linear equation in two variables is an equation that can be written in the standard
form ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are integers with a > 0 and a and b are both not equal to 0. A
solution to a linear equation in two variables is an ordered pair (x, y) that makes the equation a
true statement.

Lesson 3 Slope of a Line

Math Online

Math Concepts

The slope of a line is the change in y over the change in x. If the slope is positive, the
graph of the line is a diagonal line moving upward as x increases. If the slope is negative, the
graph of the line is a diagonal line moving downward as x increases. If the slope is zero, the
graph of the line is a horizontal line. If the slope is undefined, the graph of the line is a vertical
line.

The slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-


intercept.

The Cheaper Fare

By Madonna L. Dela Torre

It was a hot afternoon and Sally was contemplating on how best to deliver their cupcakes
to their customer. “Should I get on a bus or a taxi?” said Sally.

“Why don’t you check the cost for each first? You will charge it to our expenses, so the
cheaper fare would be the better choice,” suggested Betty, Sally’s business partner.

“You’re correct. Actually, I think we can use an equation to help us decide. We can use it
whenever we have to budget for business-related travels,” said Sally.

Sally searched for her previous travel receipts and was able to come up with the
following:

“You may treat the distance in kilometers as the variable x and the total fare as y,” said
Betty.

“For the bus, I got two points that could help me find its equation. I need to find the slope
first,” said Sally as she wrote her computations on a piece of paper.

Page 20 of 108
Math for Innovative Minds 8
for Students

“That’s an easy one! We can now plug in your values to the point-slope form of a linear
equation,” said Betty.

“Thanks for helping out, Betty!” thanked Sally. But how can I get the equations for the
taxi fare? I don’t have two points like those I used to write an equation for the bus fare.”

“The flag-down rate could be your y-intercept, because at that point, you haven’t started
your trip yet, so you have traveled 0 km,” explained Betty.

“Oh, you’re right. Then the rate of increase for every kilometer traveled would be my
slope,” agreed Sally.

Sally worked on the bus fare while Betty worked on the taxi fare.

“There you go! We can now see that taking the bus is the cheaper way,” said Betty.

Sally grinned and said, “But . . . I should make sure I don’t leave during rush hour if I
want the cupcakes to reach our customer.”

Math Concepts

A system of linear equations is formed when two or more linear equations considered
together. A solution to a system of linear equations in two variables may be represented
algebraically as an ordered pair that when substituted into the system makes the equations
true statements and geometrically as the intersection between graphs of the equations in
the system.
By just looking at the graphs of systems of linear equations in two variables, one can
already tell the number and type of the system:
• Lines intersecting at one point one unique solution/consistent and independent
• Parallel lines no solution/inconsistent and independent
• Coinciding lines infinitely many solutions/consistent and dependent

A System of Two Friends

“Oh, this is kind of cool,” Pauline said to her classmate and best friend Carla. The two
were on the floor next to the sofa. “Seven years from now, my brother’s age will be half my
dad’s. But five years ago, my brother’s age was only a third of dad’s. These equations reveal
their ages.”

“There,” Carla said, satisfied. “You recall how a system of two equations in two variables
might appear when graphed on the Cartesian plane?”

Pauline nodded. “Three ways: either the two lines intersect at a point; don’t intersect at
all, in which case they are parallel; or they totally overlap each other, in which case they
coincide. You remember what they signify in terms of the solution set of the system?”

“I always liked solving systems of linear equations, so yes I do. If the two lines intersect,
then they have a unique solution—the two equations are both true only at that point. If the
equations graph parallel lines, then the system has no solution—the two lines have no common
point. If the lines coincide, then the system has infinite solutions—all points on both lines, which
are the same line, comprise the solution set.”

“One of the things I liked best,” Pauline


continued, “was how you could tell from the
equations if they would graph parallel,
intersecting, or coincident lines. I found that both
amazing and challenging—I always felt the need
to check if my analysis was right!” Pauline
finished with a chuckle.

“Hmm, I remember right off the bat that


for two lines to be parallel, they must have the
same slope. If the two equations are in simplest
form, and are written in the form y = mx + b, then
they should have the same coefficient for x. But
what about coincident lines? Do they have the
same slope, too?”

“Yes, definitely—the difference is that if two lines coincide, then not only do they have
the same slope, but also the same y-intercept.”

“And last but certainly not least, if two linear equations have different slopes, then their
graphs will at some point intersect on the plane,” Pauline concluded.

“I think we forgot something,” Carla’s brows furrowed. “Yep, we passed by a rather

Lesson 2 Solving Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables

Math Online

Math Concepts

This lesson elaborates the algebraic ways of solving a system of linear equations in two
variables: the elimination method and the substitution method. To solve a system of linear
equations by elimination, the coefficients of either x or y in the equation must be the same.
Adding or subtracting the two equations eliminates the variable with the same coefficient. This
results in a new equation in one variable. This equation may be used to solve for either x or y and
the result is substituted to either of the original equations to find the value of the other variable.
To solve a system of equations by substitution, any of the two variables x or y must be expressed
in terms of the other from any of the equations in the system This expression is substituted to the
other equation, which results in a new equation in one variable. This equation may be used to
solve for either x or y. The result is used to solve for the other variable.

Math Concepts
Recall that a linear inequality is a statement that makes use of >, <, ≥, and ≤. A point is
said to be a solution to a linear inequality if it makes the inequality statement true. To graph a
linear inequality, change the inequality sign to an equal sign and graph the resulting equation
using a broken line (for < or >) and a solid line for (< or >). Then select a test point and shade the
half-plane region containing the test point if it makes the inequality statement true. Otherwise,
shade the other half of the plane.

Mommy’s Health Secrets

By Madonna L. Dela Torre

“Mom, my classmates could not believe that you are already 40 years old. They said you
look young!” said Maxene.

“Oh, that’s so flattering. Please thank them for me,” said Mrs. Valle.

“What’s your secret?” asked Maxene.

“I keep myself healthy!” answered Mrs. Valle proudly.

“I know it takes a lot of discipline to be healthy. You have to exercise regularly, eat right,
and avoid unhealthy habits such as smoking and not getting the right amount of sleep,” said
Maxene.

“It starts with setting a goal, knowing the steps to accomplish it, and being committed to
doing those steps,” advised Mrs. Valle.

“But how do you know how much exercise you need and how much food you have to
eat?” asked Maxene.

“You can’t do too much exercise. You can’t eat Fast Fact
too little food. Your weight should always be within

“I want to start living healthy while I am young. his or her age and gender.
My body requirements must be different from yours, am I right?” asked Maxene, showing
her mother that she was really interested in starting a healthy lifestyle.

“Let’s do some math to know your requirements, shall we?” asked Mrs. Valle.

“Sure, Mom!” answered Maxene quickly.

“Well, then. When you exercise, you’ll be working on a target heart rate. Theoretically, a
person’s maximum heart rate is 220 – x, where x represents the person’s age in years, from
20 to 65 years old,” explained Mrs. Valle.

Page 45 of 108
Math for Innovative Minds 8
for Students

Maxene kept quiet, writing down the notes in her journal. I am 20, so I am at the
minimum, she thought.

“It is recommended that a person maintains a heart rate that is at least 50% of the
maximum heart rate and at most 75% of the maximum heart rate,” continued Mrs. Valle.

“So for my age, I need to know the range of heart rates that I need to maintain,” said
Maxene. She then tried to interpret what her mom told her using inequalities.

“You got a bunch of inequalities there! Do you know how to graph them?” asked Mrs.
Valle.

“I do!” answered Maxene confidently as she drew the graph.

Follow the Steps!

1. Graph the line or equality that corresponds to the inequality.


2. Choose a test point that is not on the line.
3. If the test point satisfies the inequality, lightly shade the area of the half-plane
containing it. Otherwise, shade the half-plane not containing the test point.
4. Take the common shaded area of the inequality. That is the solution of the system
of inequalities. If there’s no common shaded area, then there is no solution.

“You have done it fast and clean!” complimented Mrs. Valle.

“From the graph, I can already see that my target heart rate when I exercise should be
from 100 to 150. For your case, your target is at least 85 and at most 127.5,” concluded
Maxene.

“You are correct. Now that you have a guideline, you can create a routine,” said Mrs.
Valle.

“I’m going to start on this soon! I will also invite my friends to join me so we will all be
healthy!” said Maxene.

A relation is defined as a set of ordered pairs (x, y) that can be represented in several
forms like a mapping, table of values, and graphs. The set of all x-coordinates is called the
domain while the set of all the y-coordinates is called the range. It further described the different
types of relation such as one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-one correspondences.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

By Kelli L. Lopez

Math for Innovative Minds 8

Missy was checking herself in the mirror when the door to the bathroom suddenly closed
behind her. “Oh, I need those products!” she told her friend with a sigh.

“No, you don’t!” Bea laughed. “But it’s best to prevent wrinkles and keep the skin supple
while young.”

“And these will do the trick?” asked Missy as she sat on the sofa and picked up some of
the health and beauty products on the coffee table.

“Those work instantly! Let’s try some on your fine laugh lines and see them disappear
before your eyes . . .”

After a few minutes, Missy did see immediate results, and she was amazed. “Oh my!
How much are they? Give me an entire pack!”

“A pack of 60 vials costs ₱5 000.00 on your first purchase. But after you purchase 360
vials, you will get a 10% discount for the next 360 vials, then 20% for the next 360, then
35% for another 360, and finally a permanent 50% discount thereafter.”

“Staying young is expensive!” Missy’s husband, Robert, said as he came out of the
bedroom and joined the two. “That means shelling out ₱30 000.00 before getting any
discount?”

“Yes, but the results you will get are priceless,” Bea reasoned. “And you can sell the
products for a profit, especially once the discounts kick in.”

“So, how much in total?” Robert paused. “Hang on. I’ll create a linear function for this.”

“You’ll have to add everything in the end,” said Missy. “Why not use a single linear
equation?”

“I prefer functions. See here . . . f(x) = 30 000x. Now I only have to plug in the correct
discounts off the regular price to evaluate the function. And we’ll know how much we need
to spend at the end of each discount stage.”

“The coefficient 30 000 comes from the cost of 360 vials?” Bea asked but answered her
own question.

“Right, because that’s a total of 6 packs at ₱5 000.00 each.”

“Then the first value for x should be 1,” Missy deduced. “We pay the full 100%.”

Robert nodded. “And then the next x-values are 0.90, 0.80, and 0.65. Finally, it’s an
infinite 50% off, so we can’t plug that in.”

“How come you have 0.90, 0.80, and so on? The discounts are 10%, 20% . . .,” Missy
asked. But then she laughed and corrected herself. “Oh, that’s right! A 10% discount means
you pay 90%, a 20% discount means you pay 80% of the original price, and so on.”

“I can subtract the discounts from the retail price instead and use f(x) = 30 000 – 30 000x,
where the subsequent x-values would be 0.1, 0.2, and 0.35,” Robert offered.

Bea said with a big smile, “I think the function looks more posh that way.”

Missy nodded. “I agree!”

Because the purchase necessary for each discount phase is the same—360 vials or 6
packs—it’s possible to formulate a single function to find the expenditure after each phase.

Compute first the price of 360 vials:

(360 vials)(1 pack/60 vials)( ₱5 000.00/pack) = ₱30 000.00

Since ₱30 000.00 is the full price at each phase, compute every discount against this
amount. Using the discount percentages, we get f(x)= 30 000 – 30 000x, where x represents
the actual percentages of discount—10%, 20%, and 35%. Evaluate the function, using the x-
values 0.10, 0.20, and 0.35.

f(0.10) = 30 000 − 30 000(0.1) = 27 000

f(0.20) = 30 000 − 30 000(0.2) = 24 000

Page 54 of 108
Math for Innovative Minds 8
for Students

f(0.35) = 30 000 − 30 000(0.35) = 19 500

“Oh my, that’s a lot of money, and we haven’t added everything yet!” Missy said, biting
her lower lip.
Remember
Bea was quick to remind her. “You can

of the line, and b is its y-intercept), while

A, B, and C are constants.
“Wow! It’s over a hundred thousand!”
Robert practically shrieked. “We won’t do this in one go!”

“Of course not, silly!” Missy told him. “We’ll plan this.”

Chapter 7 Logic and Reasoning

Lesson 1 Conditional Statements

Math Online

Math Concepts

A statement is considered conditional if a conclusion proceeds from a hypothesis. These


statements are often written in the “if-then” form and have equivalences such as their converse,
inverse, and contrapositive. When the hypothesis and the conclusion of a conditional statement
are interchanged, they form a converse statement. When the statement is formed by negating
both the hypothesis and the conclusion, it is an inverse. Meanwhile, a contrapositive statement is
formed by negating both the hypothesis and the conclusion and interchanging their positions.

how money can buy happiness if you will not spend it by yourself. The speaker Michael
Norton was able to justify his claim based on a research experiment. The research experiment
was supported by conditional and converse statements that made the claim become valid.
Listen attentively how he used conditional statements to have a more convincing argument.

Lesson 2 Deductive and Inductive Reasoning

Math Online

Math Concepts
Inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning are logical ways by which the truth or
falsehood of statements are established. Inductive reasoning is the process of making
generalizations or conjectures based on observed patterns in a set of data. Deductive reasoning is
the process of showing that certain statements follow logically from agreed upon assumptions or
proven facts.
In solving for the unknown variable in an equation, deductive reasoning is used which is
characterized by syllogism. A syllogism is composed of three statements: a major premise, a
minor premise, and a conclusion. In solving for the unknown variable in each equation (a major
premise), statements or reasons should be provided (minor premises) for each step in the process
of solving the equation to arrive at the value of the unknown (conclusion).

Lesson 3 Writing Proofs

Math Online

Math Concepts
Writing proofs is an essential skill to be able to justify your thoughts in a logical and
valid manner. A mathematical proof is composed of a set of statements presented in a sequential
order where each step is justified using a definition, an axiom, or a previously proved theorem.
Direct or indirect proof could be used to reason out convincingly in a situation. Both are tools in
showing the validity of an argument as true or false. Direct proof always starts with the
assumption that the premise is true leading to the conclusion that is also true. On the other hand,
indirect proof will start with the assumption that the conclusion is false. If the statement is not
true, examine what happens leading to a contradiction. On the other hand, the use of
counterexample is a strong argument to show that the given statement is invalid.

Unit III Axiomatic Structure of Geometry and Triangle Congruence

Chapter 8 Axiomatic Structure of Geometry

Lesson 1 Postulates on Lines and Planes

Math Online

Math Concepts
Terms for which no definitions are given are used to prevent circular reasoning in the
development of concepts in geometry. These are called undefined terms, which include points,
lines, and planes. The axiomatic system of geometry begins by accepting true certain concepts
such as the undefined terms and postulates. Its consequences are the definitions and theorems.
Postulates relating to the relationships of points, lines, and planes are the distance, ruler, ruler
placement, line, point-existence, flat plane, plane, and plane-intersection postulates.

Math Links

Math Link 1

This video entitled “Math Antics - Points, lines, & Planes,” which you can access at
https://youtu.be/k5etrWdIY6o, shows that points, lines, and planes can be a model
representation of objects in the real world. It also presents how points, lines, and planes are
related to one another.

Draw a figure that can be seen in real life that involves points, lines, and planes. Put it on
a sheet of bond paper. Describe your work using some postulates involving points, lines, and
planes.

The video “How to Draw a Highway Tunnel in One Point Perspective,” which you
can access at https://youtu.be/_EqG4y7u9tk, provides a different perspective about the
undefined terms in geometry in the field of architecture and engineering. The use of
points, lines, and planes are the key to produce a three-dimensional drawing that appears
very realistic to the human eye. Write a four-sentence reaction paper after watching the
video.

Lesson 2 Postulates on Angles

Math Online

Math Concepts

An angle is described as a union of two rays with a common endpoint. In every angle,
there corresponds a real number between 0 and 180. Postulates on angle relationships include
angle measurement, angle construction, angle addition, and supplement postulate. The study of
angles, including their postulates and theorems, has expanded its applications to real life such as
aerial or naval navigation through the use of devices such as compass and bearing maps.

a transversal. When a transversal forms congruent corresponding angles, congruent alternate
interior angles, congruent alternate exterior angles, or supplementary same-side interior angles,
the lines cut by the transversal are parallel. When two lines are parallel or perpendicular to the

Math Concepts
The study of probability is concerned with determining the chances of an event to
happen in an experiment as determined by the possibility of outcomes or occurrences over a
given sample space. The skill of counting outcomes, which may be done in a variety of ways
such as systematic listing, making tables and tree diagrams, or applying the fundamental
counting principle, is a prerequisite to studying probability. It always helps to determine whether
the events are independent or dependent in counting possible outcomes.

Math Concepts
Probability is a measure of the likeliness of an event’s occurrence and can assume a
value between 0 and 1 inclusively. The probability of an event is calculated by dividing the
number of favorable outcomes by the number of possible outcomes. This is also known as
theoretical probability. Experimental probability is determined by repeated trials of an actual
experiment. An event’s experimental probability usually differs from its theoretical probability,
but may have almost the same value especially when the experiment is performed many times.
