We call this number the magnitude of the quantity. One such example is temperature since we describe this with only a number such as 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Other such quantities are length, area, and mass. These types of quantities are often called scalar quantities. However, there are other quantities that require both a magnitude and a direction. One such example is force, and another is velocity.

    A conic section is a curve obtained from the intersection of a right circular cone and a plane. The conic sections are the parabola, circle, ellipse, and hyperbola.

    The actual (positive) distance from one point to the other is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs |Δx| and |Δy|. The Pythagorean theorem then says that the distance between th...The actual (positive) distance from one point to the other is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs |Δx| and |Δy|. The Pythagorean theorem then says that the distance between the two points is the square root of the sum of the squares of the horizontal and vertical sides.

It covers the classification of numbers (natural, whole, integers, rational, and irrational) and explains how to plot points and graph equations on the Cartesian plane. The section also discusses intervals and the distance formula, providing foundational knowledge for working with functions and graphs in Algebra.

This will lay a foundation for much of what we do in the remainder of the text. Each point P in space can be represented with an ordered triple, P=(a,b,c), where a,b and c represent the relative position of PP along the x, y and z -axes, respectively. Each axis is perpendicular to the other two.
