Study Notes
Exponents
- When 2 is used as an exponent, the base is squared.
- When 3 is used as an exponent, the base is cubed.
- A square root of a given number is a number whose square is the given number.
- The divide-and-average method can be used to approximate square roots.
Irrational Numbers
- An irrational number cannot be expressed in the form a/b, where a and b are integers, and b is not equal to 0.
Number Sets
- Natural Numbers (N) are numbers used for counting.
- Whole Numbers (W) are formed by adding 0 to the set of natural numbers.
- Integers (Z) are formed by adding the negatives of the natural numbers to the set of whole numbers.
- Rational Numbers (Q) are all numbers that can be expressed in the form a/b, where a and b are integers, and b ≠ 0.
Algebra
- Algebra generalizes the facts in arithmetic.
- Letters, numbers, and symbols are used to create algebraic expressions.
- An algebraic term is either a single number, a letter, or a product of several numbers or letters.
- An algebraic expression is a statement containing one or more terms connected by plus or minus signs.
Units of Measurement
-
Length:
- 12 inches = 1 foot
- 3 feet = 1 yard
- 5 feet = 1 pace
- 264 paces = 1 furlong
- 8 furlongs = 1 mile
- 24 furlongs = 1 league
- 1 meter is about 39.37 inches long
-
Mass:
- The metric unit for mass is the gram.
-
Volume:
- The liter is the metric unit for volume.
- 1 kilogram = 1000 grams
- 1 hectoliter = 100 liters
- 1 milliliter = 0.001 liter
- 1 attometer = 1 quintillionth of a meter
-
Basic Metric Length Units:
- meter (m), kilometer (km), centimeter (cm), millimeter (mm)
Perimeter and Circumference
- The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides.
- A polygon is a closed figure with sides called segments.
- A regular polygon has all sides and angles congruent.
- A circle is a set of points equidistant from a given center point.
- The circumference is the distance around a circle.
Volume & Capacity
- Prism: A polyhedron with two identical parallel faces called bases, named according to the shape of its bases.
- Right Circular Cone: Similar properties to a regular pyramid.
- Capacity: Amount of liquid a container can hold; related to volume in the metric system.
-
Metric System:
- A container holding 1 cm³ of water has a capacity of 1 mL.
- 1 liter = 1 dm³ = 1000 cm³
-
Measuring Large Volumes:
- 1 cubic meter (m³) = 1.3 cubic yards.
- Kiloliter (kL) = 1000 liters.
-
Weight vs. Mass:
- Weight is a measure of earth's gravitational pull on an object.
- Mass is the amount of matter in an object; remains constant, unlike weight.
Volume Calculations
- Volume of a Pyramid: (1/3) * base area * height.
- Volume of a Rectangular Prism: length * width * height.
- Volume of a Cylinder: π * radius² * height.
Subsets
- A subset is a set whose elements are also elements of another set.
- A set with n elements has 2^n subsets.
Venn Diagrams
- Venn diagrams visually represent sets and their relationships.
- Union (U): Combines all elements of two sets.
- Intersection (∩): Shows elements common to both sets.
- Difference (-): Shows elements in the first set but not the second.
- Complement ('): Shows elements NOT in the set.
Converting Units
- Metric System Conversion: Move the decimal point left or right based on the prefix.
- Imperial/Customary System Conversion: Use conversion factors.
Area and Surface Area
- Rectangle: Area = length * width
-
Prism:
- Lateral Area = height * perimeter of base
- Surface Area = Lateral Area + 2 * area of base
-
Surface Area Formulas:
- Cube: 6 * side²
- Rectangular Prism: 2(lw + lh + wh)
- Cylinder: 2πrh + 2πr²
