Flashcards

Adding Integers

Add/subtract numbers directly, paying attention to signs.

Adding/Subtracting Fractions

Convert to improper, find a common denominator, then add/subtract.

Order of Operations

Remember PEMDAS/BODMAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.

Improper to Mixed Number

Divide numerator by denominator; the quotient is the whole number, the remainder is the new numerator.

Study Notes

Simplification of Expressions

  • Addition of integers: Simplify expressions like −7 + (+9) by adding or subtracting the numbers.
  • Addition of negative integers: For −28 + (−11), add the absolute values and keep the negative sign.
  • Subtracting negatives: When simplifying −6 − (−10), convert it to addition: −6 + 10.
  • Combining multiple integers: For (−5) + (−6) − (−7) − (+4) + (+3), carefully add and subtract each term to arrive at the final value.

Evaluation of Expressions

  • Follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS) when evaluating:
    • In 18 ÷ 2 ∙ 5 ÷ −6 + 4 ∙ 7, perform division and multiplication from left to right before addition.
    • For the complex expression (2 ∙ 42 + 3(4+5)²), work inside parentheses first and apply exponentiation.

Operations with Powers and Fractions

  • Evaluate simple power and product: In 102 − 3 ∙ 52, compute each term separately.
  • For 36, remember it represents a squared number (6²).
  • Simplifying fractions involves reducing them: In 56/25, identify common factors.

Conversion Between Fraction Forms

  • Improper fractions to mixed numbers: To change 6/5, divide the numerator by the denominator to find the whole number and remainder.
  • Mixed numbers to improper fractions: Convert 2 3/8 by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding the numerator.

Additional Simplifications

  • When simplifying expressions with fractions: For 8 + 4/5, convert to a common denominator before addition.
  • Simplifying complex fractions like 10 2/16 − 3/16 involves converting mixed numbers to improper fractions first.

Current in Circuits

  • Finding the total current: Add up all individual currents in a given circuit context to calculate the total.

Rounding Numbers

  • Rounding to significant digits requires identifying the desired precision in values.
  • Round 27.2847 to the nearest hundredth, focusing on the second decimal place for rounding decisions.
  • For rounding to the nearest unit, look at the first decimal place.
  • When rounding large numbers like 63,914 to two significant digits, keep the first two non-zero digits.
  • Round small decimal numbers like 0.003275 by focusing on relevant significant figures after adjusting the decimal point.
