Study Notes

Simplifying Expressions

  • Combining like terms: Combine terms with the same variables and exponents.
  • Multiplication: Multiply coefficients and add exponents for the same variable.
  • Division: Divide coefficients and subtract exponents for the same variable.
  • Powers: Raise a term to a power by multiplying the exponents of each variable.
  • Parentheses: Simplify within parentheses before applying other rules.

Simplifying Algebraic Fractions

  • Cancel common factors: Reduce fractions by canceling common factors in the numerator and denominator.

Area of a Trapezium

  • Formula: Area = 1/2 * (sum of parallel sides) * height
  • Units: Area is typically expressed in square units (e.g., cm²).

Area of a Rectangle

  • Formula: Area = length x width
  • Units: Area is typically expressed in square units (e.g., cm²).

Area of a Triangle

  • Formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height
  • Right-angled triangles: Use the sides adjacent to the right angle as base and height.
  • Units: Area is typically expressed in square units (e.g., cm²).

Volume of a Cuboid

  • Formula: Volume = length * width * height
  • Units: Volume is typically expressed in cubic units (e.g., cm³).

Highest Common Factor (HCF)

  • Prime Factorisation: Express each number as a product of its prime factors.
  • Common Factors: Identify prime factors that are present in both numbers.
  • Product: Multiply these common prime factors to find the HCF.

Lowest Common Multiple (LCM)

  • Prime Factorisation: Express each number as a product of prime factors.
  • Highest Powers: Identify the highest power of each prime factor present in either numbers.
  • Product: Multiply these highest-power factors to find the LCM.

Finding Factors

  • List all the numbers that divide into a given number without leaving a remainder.

Mean

  • Sum all values: Total all the quantities.
  • Count the number: Calculate the total count of the sample.
  • Divide: Divide the sum by the count.

Converting Units

  • Metric Conversions: Apply appropriate conversion factors (e.g., 1 m = 100 cm, 1 kg = 1000 g).
