Study Notes
Arithmetic Sequences
- The sum of the first 4 terms of an arithmetic sequence with the 6th term as 8 and the 10th term as 13 is 14.5.
Absolute Value Equations
- The equation |x + 3| = 5 represents values 5 units from -3.
Decimal Comparisons
- Among the decimals -0.057, -0.57, -0.55, 0.073, and 0.57, -0.57 is the least.
Repeating Decimals
- For a prime number p and a non-multiple q, q = 65 results in a repeating decimal with at least one nonzero repeating digit.
Quadratic Formula
- The quadratic formula is x = -b ± √(b² - 4ac)/2a, used to find roots of quadratic equations.
Cylinder Formulas
- Surface area of a cylinder: 2πrh + 2πr².
- Volume of a cylinder: V = πr²h.
Sphere Formulas
- Surface area of a sphere: 4πr².
- Volume of a sphere: 4/3πr³.
Discriminant
- The discriminant for a quadratic equation is defined as b² - 4ac, used to determine the nature of roots.
Combinatorics
- nCr calculates combinations where order does not matter.
- nPr calculates permutations where order does matter.
Geometry Equations
- Circle equation: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r².
- Ellipse equation: (x - h)²/a² + (y - k)²/b² = 1.
Trigonometric Identities
- sin²x + cos²x = 1.
Graph Behavior
- The sine graph value is 0 at x = 0.
- The cosine graph starts at 1.
Tangent Graph Behavior
- The tangent graph is represented by the acronym ALOHA.
Logarithm Rules
- Key acronym for logarithm rules is MA DS PM.
Cost per Card Calculation
- A package of 100 baseball cards costs 6.50, equating to 1.5 cents less per card compared to a package of 25 costing 2.00.

Inverse Function Points
- If (3, 5) is a point on the graph of f, then (5, 3) must be on the graph of its inverse f⁻¹.
Trigonometric Sine Rule
- For sin(x + y), the identity is sin(x)cos(y) + cos(x)sin(y). Therefore, sin(π/2 + a) = cos(a).
Stock Probability
- The theoretical probability of making money on a stock priced between $10 and $20, currently at $12, is 73%.
Rainfall Comparison
- The difference in rainfall between 2015 (13 inches less) and 2016 (33 inches more) results in a difference of +46 inches.
River Height Calculation
- A river’s height, decreasing then increasing due to rain, first exceeds 14 feet on Sunday at 7 am.
Function Intersection
- For g(n) = -3/(n+2) and h(n) = -n, the real values of x where g(x) = h(x) are x = 1 and x = -3.
