Congruent Arces

Congruent arcs are arcs that have the same measure (AB = CD). In the same circle or congruent circles, if two central angles are congruent, then their minor arcs are congruent. If ∠ AOB = ∠ COD, then AB = CD. In the same circle or congruent circles, if two minor arcs congruent, then their central angles are congruent.

Arcs and Central Angles

Central Angle, Arc, Minor Arc, & Major Arc ∠ AOB is a central angle of ⦿ O. - A central angle is an angle that has a vertex at the center of circle. AB and AXB are arcs of ⦿ O. An arc is composed of two points on a circle (the endpoints) and the points on the circle that connect the two endpoints. AB is a minor arc of ⦿ O. A minor arc is composed of two endpoints and the points on the circle that are on the interior of its central angle. The measure of a minor arc is equal to the measure of its central angle (mAB = 70*). AXB is a major arc of ⦿ O. A major arc is composed of two endpoints and the points on the circle that are not on the circle that are not on the interior of its central angle. The measure of a major arc is equal to 360 minus the measure of its central angle (mAXB = 360 - 70 = 290*)

Multiplying and Dividing with Scienctific Notation

Ex1: (1.4 x 10^-2)(5.3 x 10^6) [7.42 x 10^4] Note: You need to times the decimals together and than times the 10 and add the exponent because the power of rule is that you add the exponent if it's timing. Ex2: 6.5 x 10^3 ----------- 9.8 x 10^9 0.663265306 x 10^-6 = 0.66 x 10^-6 6.6 * 10^-7 Note: You need to divid the number and than subtract the exponent as given. Once you have your answer for that you'll need to times 10 on the decimal number because that number need to always be a whole number from 1 to 9 and if you times the decimal, you'll need to divid the number 10 which mean the denominator number has an exponent of 1 and the power of rule is if both exponent are being divid, that need to be subtract. Ex 3: (3.9 x 10^5)^2 = (3.9 x 10^5)(3.9 x 10^5) = 15.21 x 10^10 = 1.521 x 10^11 Note: If you ever get a decimals more than 9, all you need to to is divide it by 10 and then times the number 10 and the power of rule say that you'll add whatever the number you are given.

Numerical Bases with Rational Exponents

Ex1: 3^1/3 * 9^1/3 3^1/3 * (3^2)^1/3 3^1/3 * 3^2/3 3^1/3 + ^2/3 3^3/3 3^1 3 *Note: we need to have like bases to add the exponents so we simply just sqaure the base number. And leaving the fraction exponent outside of the parentheses. After that you multiply the base exponent and fraction exponent. When you get rid of the parentheses, you will then add the both exponent on the base. Ex2: 4^3/4 ------- 4^1/4 Answer: 2 *Note:

Rational Exponents

Ex1: 81^1/2 An exponent of 1/2 means that we take the square root of the base. √81 = 9 Ex2: 16^3/4 = (^4√16)^3 = (2)^3 = [8] Note: The denominator of the exponent gives us the root, and the numerator of the exponent gives us the power. The denominator of the exponent gives us the root, and the numerator of the exponent gives us the power. Ex3: - 3^√64 = [-4] We take the cube root of 64, not the cube root of -64, because the -64 is not in parentheses.

Equation of a Circle

Ex1: Center (-2, 7), radius 5 Center (-2, 7) = (h, k) Radius (5) = (r) (x-h)²+(y-k)²=r² [x-(-2)]² + [y-(7)]² = (5)² Answer: (x+2)² + (y-7)² = 25 Ex2: Find the center and the radius of the following circle, then graph the circle. (x-4)² + (y+3)² = 64 (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r² Note: Match and solve h = 4, k= -3 r² = √64 = 8 Center: (4, -3) Radius: (8)

If a square is split in two at its diagonal, then its angles will also be bisected. A bisection of a 90 degree angle is 45 degrees. Thus, the formed triangles would have angles of 45, 45, and 90 degrees. *Note: 90/2 = 45 degrees - Sqaure angles add up to 360 degree.

At the arcade, Nick spent 203 tokens on videogames in seven days. Each day he spent five more tokens than the previous day. How many tokens did Nick spend on the third day at the arcade?

Let x = the number of tokens Nick spent on day 1. Set up the following equation and solve for x: x + (x + 5) + (x + 10) + (x + 15) + (x + 20) + (x + 25) + (x + 30) = 203 7x + 105 = 203 x = 14 tokens We know Nick spent 14 tokens on the first day. To find what he spent on the third day, add 10 tokens to get 24 tokens.

Semicircle

Semicircle: If AB is a diameter of the circle, then AXB is a semicircle. A semicircle is an arc whose endpoints are the endpoints of a diameter of the circle. A semicircle can also be thought of as a circle, so the measure of a semi is 1/2 * 360, or 180* AB and BC are adjacent arcs. Adjacent arcs of a circle are arcs that intersect at exactly one point. The Arc Addition Postulate states that mAB + mBC = mAC mAC = 80 + 30 = 110

Mike made a snack mix by combining 1 pound of nuts that cost $13.50 per pound; 2 pounds of pretzels that cost $4.25 per pound; and 4 pounds of cheese crackers that cost $4.60 per pound. What is the price per pound of Mike's snack mix?

Since all of the ingredients are in $ per pound, we just need to do some multiplying and adding. 1 pound nuts * $13.50 per pound = $13.50 2 pounds of pretzels* $4.25 per pound = $8.50 4 pound of cheese crackers * $4.60 per pound = $18.40 Add the pounds 1 (nuts) + 2 (pretzels) + 4 (crackers) = 7 pounds of mix were made. Add the cost of each: $13.50 + $8.50 + $18.40 = $40.40 is the cost for all 7 pounds of ingredients. If you need the price per pound, take our cost for the whole mix ($40.40) and divide it by the number of pounds (7) and you will have the price per pound. $40.40/7 = $5.77 per pound.

Tree Diagrams and Counting Principle

The Counting Principle states that if there are "a" ways for one event to occur and "b" ways for a second event to occur, then there are "a * b" ways for both events to occur.

Jake's final grade in math class is determined by the average he gets on six tests in the class. So far, Jake has earned a 97, 89, 85, 90, and 99 on the first five tests. What grade must Jake earn on the sixth test in order to get a 93 average in the class?

The average is found by dividing the total of all scores and dividing it by the number of scores. Since we know the average Jake wants (93), and we have all the scores from Jake's tests except one, we can set up an equation, with x representing Jake's score on the 6th test. 97 + 89 + 85 + 90 + 99 + x = 93 6 460 + x = 558 x = 98

Multiplying and Dividing with Nagative Exponents

The power rule is that when dividing, your exponents get subtracted and when your multiplying your exponents add together and when you have a parenthesis with an exponent outside you would multiply so don't get confused my good friend. And if there is a negative exponent than you need to bring it down to the denominator and switch it to a positve and add a one on the numerator and if the base number has a zero then you would just change that number to a one. Note: don't get confused with parenthesis times parenthesis, if both bases are the same, you'll just add it. Same concept apply with the power of rule with multiplying my friend. Don' think too hard. just keep it simple. Note: when you get a negative exponent on the denominator you can bring it to the numerator to be a positive. And vice versa with a negative exponent on the numerator, you can bring it to the numerator to change it to a postive my friend. Note: my friend when there is a parenthesis around a fraction and an exponent externally, you need to times all the bases, don't focus on a letter attaching to a number.

Numerical Bases with Negative Exponents

Write the following in simplest form without negative or zero exponents. Ex 1: 6^-7 * 6^5 = 6^-7 + 5 = 6^-2 = 1/6^2 = 1/36 Ex 2: 5/3^-1 = 5*3^1 = 5*3 = 15 The rule is that when there's a negative eponent on the denominator, you bring that to the numerator to make it a positive and solve the number as usual to get you a answer without the exponent. And then you time the two number. Ex 3: (-2^-1)^3 = -2^-1 * 3 = -2^-3 = 1/-2^3 = 1/-8 The rule is that you multiply the power outside the bracket into the exponent. and if you get a negative exponent, you can swap it to a positive and put a "1" as the numerator while the primary or base number can stay negative or positive depending what problem is given. Ex 4: (1/7)^-2 = 1^-2 / 7^-2 = 7^2/1^2 = 49/1 = 49 The rule is that when you have the both exponent on the numerator and denominator you can swap both side and change it as a positive and solve the answer from there. Ex 5: (1/2)^-3 = 1^-3 / 2^-3 = 2^3 / 1^3 = 8 The rule is that if there are two exponents on the fraction than you can swap the two primary number and turn it into positive. Ex 6: (- 3/8)^2 = (-3)^-2 / (8)^-2 = (8)^2 / (-3)^2 = (8)(8)/(-3)(-3) = 64/9 The rule is that parathesis is important aspect because you can use negative however the exponent is given, but if there is no exponent than you do not need to worry.

Negative Exponents

ex 1. x^-7 * x^2 = x^-5 = 1/x^5 For multiplication, you need to add both number, depending on the positive and negative of it number To swap a negative number, input 1 over the number to make it a positive number. ex 2. (y^3)-3 = y^-9 = 1/y^9 For this case, you need to time both the number and when you get the number you need to put a number above the answer and change it to a positive. ex 3. b^8/b^-4 = b^8 - -4 = b^12 For this one, you'll need to add both exponent given. ex 4. (p^-2 q^11)^-1 = p^-2 * -1 q^11 * -1 = p^2 * q^-11 = p^2 / q^11 For this one take the power outside of the bracket and times it by the exponent given inside and from there you need to swap the negative number to a positive and you should get your number. ex 5. r^-3 s^-6 / r s = r^-4 s^-7 = 1/ r^4 s^7 You need to subtract the exponent on the numerator and denominator to get the answer and once you get the answer you need to swap the negative number to a positive number. ex 6. w^-9 * w * w^8 = w^-9 + 1 + 8 = w = 1 You need to add all the exponents to get the answer and once you get the answer such as "w" you can transition it to number 1. ex 7. (m^-1 / n^-5)^2 = m^-1 * 2 / n^-5 * 2 = m^-2 / n^-10 = n^10 / m^2 Same concept, just times the power outside of the bracket inside the exponent given and swap the negative to a positive. *Note: for this one you need to swap the denominator with the numeritor to be a positve demostrated as give at the top. ^Rule: if there is a negative on the opposite, just swap them. ex 8. (x/ y^-2 z^0)^-6 = (x)^-6/ (y^-2 z^0)^-6 = x^-6/y^12 z^0 = 1 / x^6 y^12 (1) = 1 / x^6 y^12 *Note on this one, the rule is that if there is a negative on the numerator you need to bring it to the denominator to make it a positve and a 1 on the numerator. ex 9. (p^-2/q)^-3 = p^6q^3 If the numerator exponent is positive than don't worry about it and if the denominator exponent is a negative than bring it up to the numerator and change it to a positive and combine with the current primary number.

Terri has a jar of orange, blue, green, and red chocolate candies. In the jar are 75 orange candies, 62 blue candies, and 52 green candies. If there is a total of 252 candies in the jar, what is the probability that Terri will pick a red candy?

¼ To solve this problem, first find the number of red candies in the jar by adding the numbers of all the other candies together, then subtracting from the total. Since there are 63 red candies out of a total of 250 candies, divide 63 by 252. Reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 63. 63/252 ÷ 63/63 = ¼

Ellie wants to give her granddaughter a present of $500 saved in bank account. If Ellie puts $350 in the account which earns an 8% annual interest rate, how long must she wait before the account is worth $500?

The interest amount is $150, which is the difference between the desired amount and what Ellie originally deposits. You can use the interest formula: I = Prt, where I is interest, P is principal, r is rate, and t is time. Just plug in I = 150, P = 350, and r = 0.08, and solve for t: 150 = 350(0.08)t 28t = 150 t = 5.36 years, or approximately: 5 years 4 months.

Slope Formula

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) Note: Remember that a negative divided by a negative is a positive (ex) -7/-4 = 7/4 Remember that zero divided by any positive or negative number is zero (ex) 0/2 = 0 Remember that any number divided by zero is undefined, so we say that this line has no slope (ex) -2/0 (undefined) Remember to reduce if possible as your last step (ex) -15/6 = -5/2 When you end up with a positive over a negative in your slope, change it to a negative over a positve (ex) 1/-5 = -1/5 * A common mistake made by students is to forget whether the y's go on top or the x's go on top in the slope formula. If you remember, however, that slope means rise/run, it should make sense that m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) and not m = (x2 - x1) / (y2 - y1). Why? y represents up/down or "rise," and x represents left/right, or "run."

Feet Word Problems

Aisha wants to paint the walls of a room. She knows that each can of paint contains one gallon. A half gallon will completely cover a 55 square feet of wall. Each of the four walls of the room is 10 feet high. Two of the walls are 10 feet wide and two of the walls are 15 feet wide. How many 1-gallon buckets of paint does Aisha need to buy in order to fully paint the room? The total number of buckets necessary will be the total area of the walls divided by the total area covered by each bucket. First, calculate the area of the walls Aisha wants to paint. Two of the walls are 10 × 10 and two of the walls are 10 × 15: 2 (10 × 10) = 200 sq. ft. 2 (10 × 15) = 300 sq. ft. So the total square footage of the walls is 500. If a half gallon of paint will cover 55 square feet, then each gallon will cover 2 × 55 = 110 square feet. Four gallons can only cover 440 square feet. Five gallons will cover 550 square feet, which will be enough for the entire area of the walls.

Irrational Number

An Irrational Number is a real number that cannot be written as a simple fraction. Irrational means not Rational Example: π (Pi) is a famous irrational number. Pi π = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795... (and more) We cannot write down a simple fraction that equals Pi. The popular approximation of 22/7 = 3.1428571428571... is close but not accurate.

Polynomial

An expression that can have constants (like 4), variables (like x or y) and exponents (like the 2 in y2), that can be combined using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but: • no division by a variable. • a variable's exponents can only be 0,1,2,3,... etc. • it can't have an infinite number of terms. Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term") ... so it says "many terms" Constants (like 3, −20, or ½) Variables (like x and y) Exponents (like the 2 in y^2), but only 0, 1, 2, 3, ... etc are allowed *Conclusion: A polynomial can have constants, variables and exponents, but never division by a variable.

Angle Addition Postulate and Angle Bisector

Angle Addition Postulate: m∠1 + m∠2 = 180° Note: start by looking at the interior ray of the angle given. Congruent Angles: angles that have the same measure Adjacent Angles: angles that share a common vertex and side, but no common interior points. (Remember that adjacent angles must share no common interior points.) Angle Bisector: A line that splits an angle into two equal angles. ("Bisect" means to divide into two equal parts.)

Angles and Measure

Angle: figure formed by two rays that share a common endpoint. Endpoint = vertex An angle that measures between 0 degree and 90 degree is called an acute angle. An angle that measures 90 degree is called a right angle. An angle that measures between 90 degree and 180 degree is called an obtuse angle. An angle that measures 180 degree is called a straight angle.

Verticle Angles

Segments, Rays, and Length

Collinear: When three or more points lie on a straight line. (Two points are always in a line.) A segment is defined as a figure that is composed of two points, in this case A and C, and all the points in between. Points A and C are the endpoints of segments AC. Ray: A part of a line with a start point but no end point (it goes to infinity). Line BA has an endpoint at B, and goes in the direction of A. Line BC has an endpoint at B, and goes in the direction of C. Line BA and Line BC are called opposite rays. Opposite rays are two rays that share a common endpoint, in this case B, have no other points of intersection, and all points on the two rays are collinear. Note that line AC and line CA are no opposite rays, because they do not share a common endpoint. Note opposite rays (all points are not collinear) with angles. The length of a segment can be found by taking the greater endpoint coordinate minus the lesser endpoint coordinate. AG = 2 - (-4) = 6 (segment vs. length) Remember that the coordinate of a given point is the number that is paired with that point.

Combining Like Terms

Combining two or more like terms simplifies an expression by summing constants and summing those variable terms in which the same variables are raised to the same power. 3x * 2 = 6x 3x + 2 3x + 2x = 5x

Complementary and Supplementary Angle

Complementary Angle: If two angles are complementary, then the sum of their measures is 90 degrees. Supplementary Angle: If two angles are supplementary, then the sum of their measures is 180 degrees. If the ratio of an angle to its complement is 2:3, find the measure of each angle. 2x > angle (original) = 36 degree 3x > complement = 54 degree 2x + 3x = 90 5x = 90 x = 18

Ratio can be written in 3 different ways. (e.g.) 3 to 1 3:1 3/1

F.O.I.L

F.irst O.uter I.nner L.ast (2x + 3)(x - 5) = 2x^2 + -10x + 3x + -15 3xy^2 (Monomial = 1 term) 5x-1 (Binomial = 2 terms) 3x + 5y^2 - 3 (Trinomial = 3 terms) Conjugates (when you multiply two conjugates together, the middle term will always cancel each other out): (p+6)(p-6) p^2 - 6p + 6p - 36 p^2 - 36

Equal Ratios

Find 2 two different ratios that are equal to the following ratio. 4/5 Note: can be times by 2, 3, etc. or divide if can divide to get a whole number. Once you divide, you can use that fraction times by 2. Answer: 8/10, 12/15

Percent Increase or Decrease

Find the percent increase or decrease The price change from $60 to $39. *amount of change/ original number 60-39/60 = 21/60 .35 * 100 Answer: 35% decrease Find the percent increase or decrease. A number changes from 110 to 440. *amount of change/ original number 440-110/ 110 = 330/110 = 3 3 * 100 = 300 300% increase

Translating English to Algebra

First find/define the varible for the following situation, and then write an expression that represents the situattion. 18 more jelly beans are placed in the jar. j = original number of jelly beans in the jar. j+18

Chad's recipe for chocolate chip cookies makes 24 servings of 375 calories each. Chad decided to make 150% of the amount in the recipe rather than the usual 100%. Approximately how many calories are in Chad's batch of cookies?

First, find out how many total calories are in 100% of the recipe: 24(375) = 9,000 calories To find how many calories are in 150% of the recipe, use this equation: x = 9,000 (1.50) x = 13,500

Age Word Problems

Five years ago, Amy was three times as old as Mike. If Mike is 10 years old now, how old is Amy? Set up a table comparing the situation five years ago to the situation today to keep things organized. Name / (Five years ago) / (Today) Mike/ 10 - 5 = 5 / 10 Amy/ 3 x 5 = 15 / 15 + 5 = 20 Mike is 10 years old now, so he must have been 5 years old five years ago. Amy was 3 times as old as Mike five years ago, so Amy must have been 15 five years ago. Add 5 years to Amy's age five years ago to calculate her age now. Amy is 15 + 5 = 20 years old now.

Numerical Bases and Exponents of Zero

Multiplication: 1) 2^3 * 2^2 = 2^5 (Base) 2) 2x^3 * 2x^2 = 4x^5 (Coefficient: a numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression (e.g., 4 in 4x^ y) Quotient: 3) 2^5/2^2 = 2^3 4) 2x^5/2x^2 = x^3 2^3/2^3 = 2^0 = 1 (Remember that as long as your base is not zero, anything to the zeroeth power is equal to 1)

Solving and Grahping Inequalities

Note: Remember that when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must switch the direction of the inequality sign. When you mutiply or divide both sides by a positive you do not need switch the inequality. Greater than or less than and equal to = solid dot Greater than or less than = open circle

Number and Value Word Problems

Number of Coins * Value of Each = Total Value (Ex1 [Quarters]) 2 * 25 = 50 (Ex2 [Dimes]) 2 * 10 = 20 (Ex3) Student tickets cost $4 and adult tickets cost $7. If the theatre sold 150 tickets and the value of the student tickets was $17 greater than the value of the adult tickets, how many of each type of ticket were sold? Answer: 97 student tickets/53 adult tickets.

Factors

Numbers we can multiply together to get another number. Example: 2 and 3 are factors of 6, because 2 × 3 = 6 A number can have MANY factors! Example: What are the factors of 12? • 3 × 4 = 12, so 3 and 4 are factors of 12 • 2 × 6 = 12, so 2 and 6 are also factors of 12 • and 1 × 12 = 12, so 1 and 12 are factors of 12 as well So 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12 are all factors of 12 And -1, -2, -3, -4, -6 and -12 also, because multiplying negatives makes a positive. In Algebra factors can be expressions like "x+3" etc Example: (x+3) and (x+1) are factors of x2 + 4x + 3

How to find percentage?

Part/Whole x 100% or Take the original number and divide by the total number and times by 100 to get the percetage.

Distance Problems

Sofía is driving to Texas. She travels at 70 kilometers per hour for 2 hours, and 63 kilometers per hour for 5 hours. Over the 7 hour time period what was Sofía's average speed? Average Speed = Total Distance ÷ Total Time If a car travels 360 kilometers in 5 hours, how many kilometers will it travel in 9 hours when driving at the same speed? First calculate the distance the car travels in 1 hour: 360 km ÷ 5 hours = 72 km per hour Then multiply this number by the total number of hours traveled: 9 hours × 72 km per hour = 648 km Notice that the final calculation yields the correct units; this helps to confirm that the calculation is correct.
