Golden Rule for simultaneous equations:

*If coefficients of variable are same number and SAME SIGNS, then SUBTRACT them. *If coefficients of variable are same number and DIFFERENT SIGNS, then ADD them.

Properties of evenly spaced sets

-average and median are equal to each other -mean and median of set are equal to average of first and last terms

Consecutive integers and divisibility

-every number is divisible by all factors of its factors -for any set of consecutive integers w/ an odd number of items, the sum of all integers is always a multiple of the number of items

A __ is a positive integer that divides evenly into an integer. For example, 1, 2, 4, and 8 are all the __ (also called divisors) of 8. A __ of an integer is smaller than or equal to that integer.

Factor

A way not to confuse factors and multiples is...

Fewer factors, more multiples

A __ of an integer is formed by multiplying that integer by any integer, so 8, 16, 24 and 32 are some of the __ of 8.

What is the probability equation for P(A) and P(B) if they are independent?

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)

What is the probability of dependent events P(A) and P(B) occurring together?

P(A and B) = P(A) * P_a_(B) ...which is the conditional probability of B

What is the probability of event P(A) or P(B) occurring?

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

What is the equation describing the probability of complimentary events?

P(A) + P(!A) = 1 P(A) = 1 - P(!A)

What equation defines the probability of event A?

P(A) = (# of outcomes when A occurs) / (# of total possible outcomes)

A __ number is any positive integer with exactly two different factors: 1 and itself. In other words, a __ number has on factors other than 1 and itself. 1 is not a prime number!

Triangle inequality law

Sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the 3rd side -if given 2 sides of a triangle, length of 3rd must lie between the difference and sum of 2 given sides

Formula for Surface Area of a Cube?

Surface Area = 6s²

Combining terms with the same base (exponents)

Terms are being multiplied: add exponents (z^2 x z ^3 = z^5) Terms are being divided: subtract exponents (x^15/x^8 = x^7)

What are complimentary events? What is P(A or B) in this case?

Two events are complimentary if one or the other must occur P(A or B) = 1

What are dependent events? Are individual probabilities affected by what has occurred previously?

Two events are dependent if the occurrence of one event affects the probability of the other YES

What are independent events? Are individual probabilities affected by what has occurred previously?

Two events are independent if the occurrence of one does not affect the occurrence of the other NO

What are mutually exclusive events? What is P(A and B) if events are mutually exclusive?

Two events that can never occur together P(A and B) = 0
