Exponent Rules
(X^b)(Y^b) = (XY)^b (X^b/Y^b) = (X/Y)^b (X^n)(X^m) = X^n+m X^n/X^m = X^n-m

-30
When integer a is divided by 5, the remainder is 2. when integer b is divided by 5, the remainder is 3. what is the remainder when a x b is divided by 5?
1 Numbers that leave a remainder of 2 when dovided by 5 are numbers 2 greater than a multiple of 5 (ex: 7). Those with a remainder of 3 will be three greater than a multiple of 5 (ex:8) Take 7×8 = 56. 56÷5 is 11 with a remainder of 1 true for all possible a and b values
what are the positive factors of 36?

exponent rules contd
1. Raising a negative number to an even power produces a positive result 2. Raising a negative number to an odd power gives a negative result

Simplifying Radicals
If the number inside radical is a multiple of a perfect square, expression can be simplified by factoring out perfect square sqrt(20) = sqrt(4*5) = 2 sqrt (5)
30-60-90 Triangle Theorem
In a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the hypotenuse is twice as long as the shorter leg, and the longest leg is √3 times as long as the shorter leg
simple interest

prime factorization
a number written as the product of its prime factors
If -1<x<1 but x is not zero, which has the greater value: absv(x^4) or absv(x^5)
absv(x^4) answer must be a fraction fractions absolute value decreases as they are raised to higher powers
Factor
aka Divisor, positive and negative integers by which it is evenly divisible, no remainders
Even numbers are:
evenly divisible by 2
compound interest
interest earned on both the principal amount and any interest already earned
the combination formula
n! / (k!)(n-k)! where n is group as a whole and k is number in subgroup formed
what is the largest 4 digit multiple of 71?
the largest 4 digit number is 9,999. divide 9,999 by 71 and get 140 with remainder of 59. 9,999 is 59 greater than the largest common multiple
