1Chapter 1: Algebra and EquationsSection 1.1 The Real Numbers1.True. This statement is true, since every integercan be written as the ratio of the integer and 1.For example,551.2.False. For example, 5 is a real number, and1052which is not an irrational number.3.Answers vary with the calculator, but2, 508, 429, 787798, 458, 000is the best.4.0( 7)( 7)0 This illustrates the commutative property ofaddition.5.6(4)66 4ttThis illustrates the distributive property.6.3 + (–3) = (–3) + 3This illustrates the commutative property ofaddition.7.(–5) + 0 = –5This illustrates the identity property of addition.8.14( 4) ()1This illustrates the multiplicative inverseproperty.9.8 + (12 + 6) = (8 + 12) + 6This illustrates the associative property ofaddition.10.1 ( 20)20 This illustrates the identity property ofmultiplication.11.Answers vary. One possible answer: The sum ofa number and its additive inverse is the additiveidentity. The product of a number and itsmultiplicative inverse is the multiplicativeidentity.12.Answers vary. One possible answer: When usingthe commutative property, the order of theaddends or multipliers are changed, while thegrouping of the addends or multipliers ischanged when using the associative property.For Exercises 13–16, letp= –2,q= 3 andr= –5.13.()[][]()35325(3)32153 1339pq−+= −−+= −−+= −= −14.()()( )22 352 816qr−=+==15.qrqp3( 5)223( 2)1+ −−=== −+ −16.33(3)99323( 2)2( 5)6104qpr===−−−−−+17.Letr= 3.8.APR1212(3.8)45.6%r18.Letr= 0.8.APR1212(0.8)9.6%r19.LetAPR= 11.1211121112.9167%APRrrrr20.LetAPR= 13.2.1213.21213.2121.1%APRrrrr21.34 55320517512  22.28( 4)( 12)  Take powers first.8 – 16 – (–12)Then add and subtract in order from left to right.8 – 16 + 12 = –8 + 12 = 423.(45) 661 66660   

When more items aremade, these costs become a smaller portionof the total costs.60.In order for the company to make a profit,27.25005230, 0000PxxSet the profit function equal to 0 and solveforx.284450215, 0000xxBy the quadratic formula,x≈45 orx≈–601.Sincexrepresents a positive number,x= 45.Therefore, between 40,000 and 45,000calculators must be sold for the company tomake a profit.61.Letx= 100 (in thousands)27.2(100)5005(100)230, 000342,500d.The profit for selling 100,000 calculators is$342,500.62.Letx= 150 (in thousands)27.2(150)5005(150)230, 000682, 750d.The profit for selling 150,000calculators is $682,750.Section 1.3 Factoring1.212241212212 (2)xxxxxx x2.5655 (1)5 (13 )5 (113 )yxyyyxyx3. 322255151rrrr rrrrr rr4.322238(3 )(8)38tttt ttttt tt
