Math 10 Academic – Final Exam Topics

Please note that this is just a list of the major terms/topics that were covered this semester. This list may not

include all minor terms/topics…it is meant to guide you as you prepare for your exam. Besides doing the

practice questions that are on my website, please remember to refer to your notes, old tests/quizzes, ICA’s,

comprehension checks, etc. as well. If you have questions, please seek extra help (sooner rather than later!).

**Basic Skills (i.e. junior high stuff that you should be able to do):

 Order of operations

 Working with integers

 Working with fractions

 Solving linear equations

Unit 1 - Patterns, Relations, Equations and Predictions (linear)

 Basics of graphing (axes, scale, coordinate points, quadrants, origin independent and dependent

variables, linear vs. non-linear, co-linear)

 Word problems (linear) and creating equations

 Domain and range

 The equation of a line (y = mx + b)

 Slope-intercept form of the equation of a line

 Rearranging equations

 Graphing with a table of values

 Graphing with slope & y-intercept

 Graphing with x and y-intercepts, solving for intercepts

 Determining the equation of a line:

o Given 2 points

o Given a point and the slope

o From the graph

 Slope

 Parallel vs. perpendicular lines (and being able to apply those concepts in determining the equation of a

line)

 Comparing 2 (or more) lines

 Solving systems of equations:

o Graphically

o Substitution

o Elimination

o word problems

Unit 2 – Modeling Functional Relationships (quadratics)

 Factoring: GCF, difference of perfect squares, trinomials (trial & error, decomposition)

 Rational expressions: Simplifying, multiplying, dividing, adding, subtracting rational expressions

 Polynomials: degree of a polynomial, type of polynomial (i.e. monomial, binomial, trinomial), variable,

coefficient, term, multiplying, dividing, adding, subtracting

 Functions and the vertical line test

 Function notation

 Modelling (interpreting graphs)
