Pythagorean Theorem
a2 + b2 = c2
hypotenuse
leg
leg
Key words: diagonals; right triangle; area
In word problems, reference to trees, buildings,
etc. (make right angles from the ground) are
hints to use Pythagorean Theorem.
Radicals
Perfect squares: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100,
121, 144, …
is the radical sign. Asks what # times itself
= radicand (# inside).
For squares…. Side length =
area
To approximate square root: find the 2 perfect
squares that are smaller and larger than the # you
have. Your answer is between those #s.
Radical Computation
Simplifying radicals: Find any perfect square factors (ex:
50 = 25 x 2; 25 is a perfect square) in the radicand.
Take the square root of the perfect square (5) and place
it on the outside of the radical sign (multiply it if a # is
already outside); leave non-perfect square factor (2)
under radical sign.
Add/Sub– must have LIKE #s or variables under
radical sign; add/sub the coefficients.
Mult/Div– use the coefficients; then the radicand. If
there are perfect square factors created by
multiplying/dividing, simplify (see above!).
Exponent Computation
Bases must be the same to use rules.
When MULT #s with exponents, ADD the
exponents if bases are the same.
When raising to a power (usually has
parentheses), MULT exponents (similar to
distributive property).
If no variables are involved, follow order of
operations.
Sequences
Arithmetic– increasing or decreasing by add/sub
same number
Geometric– increasing or decreasing by
mult/div same number
Sequence-- #s that follow a pattern
Functions are sequences!!
Functions
Shows relationship between input (x) and output
(y)
Use function tables & substitution to create
ordered pairs for graphing
The rule is whatever you do to x to end up with
y.
Ordered pairs are solutions to the equation or
function.
Graphs will be LINEAR if the variables have an
exponent of 1.
Equations
Use inverses to move terms across the = sign.
Check for distributive property 1st.
Move variables to one side 2nd.
Undo add/sub from the side where the variable
is 3rd.
Undo mult/div from the side where the variable
is 4th.
Check your solution by substituting into original
equation.
Graphing Equations
Slope= y2 -y1
x2 -x1
Get equations into slope-int form to graph!
Slope-intercept y = mx + b
M = slope; b = y-int (0, b)
Graph y-int 1st
Use slope to find 2nd point
Connect dots to form line
Parallel & Perpendicular
Parallel means SAME slope (m) and
DIFFERENT y-int (b)
Perpendicular means NEGATIVE
RECIPROCAL slope. (ex: ½ = -2)
If asked to find an equation
parallel/perpendicular to given equation, find
the slope of the original 1st.
Determine what the slope should be for the new
line using above rules.
Use point-slope form to find new equation
Writing Equations
Point-slope form: y – y1 = m (x – x1)
Substitute m and (x1, y1)
Solve to get in slope-int form
Standard form: Ax + By = C
x & y on same side; No decimals or fractions
Systems of Equations
Graph & Check: graph lines using slop-int rules;
point of intersection is solution.
Substitution: get one variable by itself; substitute
into other equation to get 2nd variable isolated;
determine ordered pair
Elimination: use addition or multiplication to
cancel out one variable; solve for 2nd variable;
determine ordered pair
ORDERED PAIR MUST WORK IN ALL
EQUATIONS!
Inequalities
< less than; > greater than
Solve inequalities just like equations
Remember to reverse inequality when
MULT/DIV by a NEGATIVE. This does NOT
mean reverse if the answer is negative only if the
# you use to mult/div is negative!!
Graphing Inequalities
Open dot for less/ greater than
Closed dot for less/greater OR equal to
Test 0 for single variable inequalities; test (0,0)
for linear inequalities.
If using 0 or (0,0) made a true statement, draw
arrow or shade toward zero. If not, go away
from zero.
Systems of Inequalities
Graph each linear inequality on the same
coordinate plane.
Shade each inequality separately.
Identify the area where shading overlaps; this is
the solution!
Set Theory
Venn Diagrams – show sets
Subset– member of the set
Universal set– numbers/symbols that can be
used
Complement– universal set minus the set!
Everything that’s left!
Union– combine sets
Intersection– items that are in common;
overlapping
Probability
Sample space-- # possible outcomes
Probability of an event:
# of times event can occur
# of possible total events
AND statements– multiply the probabilities
OR statements– add the probabilities
Parallel Lines/ Transversals
Alternate Interior- between parallel lines;
opposite sides of transversal
Alternate Exterior- outside parallel lines;
opposite sides of transversal
Corresponding– same position
Vertical– diagonal from each other
Supplementary = 180; Complementary = 90
Adjacent– next to; touching
Use ZIG ZAG method to find congruent angles
