When you simplifying complex fractions, factor the numerator and denominator into terms multiplying each other and look for equivalents of one (something divided by itself). Include parenthesis around any expression with a “+” or “-” and if all terms cancel in the numerator, there is still a one (1) there.

We use the identity matrix to calculate a the inverse of a square matrix. In order to be invertible, a matrix must be square. By finding the square matrix inverse, we can find the solution of a system of linear equations. A square matrix inverse, when multiplied on the left or right by the original matrix gives us the identity matrix.

Equations are fundamental to Algebra, and solving linear equations is necessary for you to learn how to solve two-step equations, and other multi-step equations. Solving linear equations involves finding the value for the variable that makes the statement true using additive and multiplicative inverses.

If logarithms seem like Greek to you, this interactive algebra 2 lesson will help you sort things out. We can use many bases for a logarithm, but the bases most typically used are the bases of the common logarithm and the natural logarithm. The common logarithm has base 10, and is represented on the calculator as log(x). The natural logarithm has base e, a famous irrational number, and is represented on the calculator by ln(x). The natural and common logarithm can be found throughout Algebra and Calculus.

What are the Properties of Logarithms?

To solve equations with logarithms and exponential functions, we must understand the properties of logarithms. These properties of logarithms are the methods we use to get to, and solve for, variables that are in exponents or inside logarithms.

How Do You Graph Rational Functions, n=m?

Rational Function Graphs: There are different characteristics to look for when creating rational function graphs. With rational function graphs, we can find a horizontal asymptote where the degree of the numerator function is equal to the degree of denominator function. There are other techniques for drawing rational function graphs when the degree of the numerator is less than, or greater than, that of the denominator.
