Includes all rational/irrational Imaginary: includes the imaginary unit i = square root of -1. complex: in the form of a + bi where a and b are real numbers Closed number system - Answer-a system is closed under an operation if performing that operation on two elements of the system results in another element of that system Properties of number systems - Answer-adding, subtracting, and multiplying are closed. dividing is not. rational numbers are closed under all operations except division real numbers are closed under all operations complex numbers are closed under all four operations irrational numbers are not closed under any of the operations Commutative property - Answer-holds for a operation if the order doesnt matter Associative property - Answer-the elements of an operation can be regrouped without changing the result Distributive property - Answer-multiplication over addition allows a product of sums to be written as a sum of products: a(b+c)= ab + ac Identity element - Answer-operation performed with an element and the identity element the result is the element (a x 1 = a) Inverse element - Answer-operation performed with the inverse element results in the identity element a + (-a) = 0 American units - Answer-length: inch/foot/yard/mile mass: ounce/pound/ton volume: cup/pint/quart/gallon force: pound-force pressure: pound-force per square inch work and energy: cal/british thermal unit temperature: fahrenheit charge: faraday SI units - Answer-length: meter mass: gram volume: liter force: newton pressure: pascal work and energy: joule temperature: kelvin charge: coulomb metric prefixes - Answer-tera: 10^12 T giga: 10^9 G mega: 10^6 M kilo: 10^3 k hecto: 10^2 h deca: 10^1 da deci: 10^-1 d centi: 10^-2 c milli: 10^-3 m micro: 10^-6 u nano: 10^-9 n pico: 10^-12 p conversions (inch, meter, yard, mi, gal, oz, lb, cal, F) - Answer-1 inch = 2.54cm 1 meter = 3.28 ft 1 yd = .914m 1 mi = 1.61km 1 gal = 3.785 L 1 oz = 28.35 g 1 lb = .454 kg 1 cal = 4.19 J 1 degree F: 5/9 (F-32C) proper fraction - Answer-fraction that equals less than 1 improper fraction - Answer-fraction that equals more than 1 IQR - Answer-interquartile range = Q3-Q1 Measures of variation/dispersion - Answer-range, IQR, variance, standard deviation formula for standard deviations (sample/population) - Answer-pg. 33 formula for variance - Answer-pg. 33 Complement (probablility) - Answer-The probability that an event won't occur Independent probability - Answer-the probability of one occurring does not affect the probability of the other Dependent probability - Answer-the probability of one occurring does have an effect on the probability of the other conditional probability - Answer-the probability that one event occurs given that another has occurred. Mutually exclusive probability - Answer-two events cant happen at the same time Mutually inclusive probability - Answer-events share common outcomes/ can happen at same time Formula for finding nth term - Answer-pg. 38 Formula for finding partial sum - Answer-pg.38 Formula for finding X/Y intercepts and slope - Answer-X: C/A Y: C/B Slope: -A/B in Ax + By = C form Formula for slope given two points - Answer-(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) distance formula - Answer-pg.54 midpoint formula - Answer-pg.54 zeros/roots of a quadratic are the... - Answer-x intercepts standard form of a quadratic - Answer-Ax^2 + Bx + C axis of symmetry: x = -b/2a vertex: pg. 59 vertex form of a quadratic - Answer-y = a(x-h)^2 + k axis of symmetry: x=h vertex: (h, k) The effect of A (first term) on a parabola - Answer-if negative: opens downward if positive: opens upward if a fraction less than 1: wider if above 1: narrower How to convert standard form to vertex form - Answer-complete the square 1, move c to the left side of the equation 2. divide the entire equation through by a (to make the coefficient of x^2 be 1). 3. Take half of the coefficient of x, square it, and then add it to both sides of the equation. 4. convert the right side of the equation to a perfect binomial squared, (x + m)^2. 5. Isolate y to put the equation in proper vertex form. quadratic formula - Answer-pg. 61
