d=rt so r= d/t and t=d/r

formula for distance problems

distance=rate×time or d=rt

Can you simplify sqrt72?

Yes, because you can factor out a perfect square (36). Sqrt(36 x 2) = sqrt36 X sqrt2 = 6sqrt2.

Can you subtract 3sqrt4 from sqrt4?

Yes, like radicals can be added/subtracted.

5x^2 - 35x -55 = 0

[(7+ sqrt93) /2], [(7 - sqrt93) / 2]

What is a subset?

a grouping of the members within a set based on a shared characteristic.

If a<b, then

a+c<b+c

a<b then a - b is positive or negative?

a-b is negative

a>b then a - b is positive or negative?

a-b is positive

a(b+c)

ab+ac

a(b-c)

ab-ac

If a is inversely porportional to b, what does it equal?

ab=k (k is a constant)

Pythagorean theorem

a²+b²=c²

If a is negative and n is even then aⁿ is (positive or negative?)

aⁿ is positive

bⁿ

b∧b∧b (where b is used as a factor n times)

Circumference of a Circle

c=2 x pi x r OR pi x D

What is the common monomial factor in the expression 4(c^3)d - (c^2)(d^2) + 2cd?

cd

Rate

d/t (distance)/(time)

Volume of a cube

edge³
