Question | Answer |
---|---|
√2 [approximately] | 1.4 |
√3 [approximately] | 1.7 |
Prime Numbers Less Than 50 | 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47 |
Testing Divisibility by 4 | If the last two digits of a number are divisible by 4, then the number itself is divisible by 4 |
Testing Divisibility by 8 | If the last three digits of a number are divisible by 8, then the number itself is divisible by 8 |
Associative Laws | (a+b)+(c+d) = a+(b+c+d) (ab)(cd) = a(bcd) |
Distributive Laws | a(b+c) = ab+ac a(b-c) = ab-ac |
Multiplication of Exponents | (a^x)(a^y) = a^(x+y) |
Division of Exponents | (a^x)/(a^y) = a^(x-y) |
Negative Exponents | a^-x = 1/a^x |
Nested Exponents | (a^x)^y = a^(xy) |
Multiplication of Square Roots | √x√y = √xy |
Division of Square Roots | √(x/y) = √x / √y |
Radical Sign Positivity | √x is only the positive square root of x |
x^2 - y^2 | = (x+y)(x-y) |
x^2 + 2xy + y^2 | = (x+y)^2 |
x^2 - 2xy + y^2 | = (x-y)^2 |
Numerical Mode | Number that occurs most frequently in a set |
Numerical Range | The difference between the largest and smallest numbers of a set |
Percentage Breakdowns in a Normal Distribution | 1st standard deviation: 34% of population 2nd standard deviation: addl 14% of population |
Average Pie | Total ----------------------- | # of Things x Average |
Rate Pie | Distance/Amount ----------------------- | Time x Rate |
Diagonal in a 3-Dimensional Rectangular Box | a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = d^2 |
Third Side Rule | The length of any one side of a triangle must be less than the sum of the other two sides and greater than the difference of the other two sides |
Area of a Triangle | (1/2)bh |
Common Right Triangle Ratios | 3:4:5 5:12:13 7:24:25 |
Sides of a Right Isosceles Triangle (45/45/90) | x:x:x√2 |
Sides of a 30/60/90 Triangle | x:x√3:2x |
Standard Line Formula | y=mx+b m=slope=rise/run=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) b=y-intercept |
0! | 1 |
Permutations - Order Matters | - How may slots - Determine options per slot in order - Multiply options |
Combinations - Order Doesn't Matter | - Determine as for permutations - Divide by the factorial of # of slots |
Group Equation | T = G1 + G2 - B + N T = Total G1 = 1st Group G2 = 2nd Group B = Both Groups N = Neither Group |
