Mean

The average of a set of numbers. To calculate the mean, add up all the numbers in the set and then divide by the total number of values.

Median

The middle value in a set of numbers when they are arranged in order from least to greatest. If there are two middle values, the median is the average of those two values.

Mode

The number that appears most often in a set of numbers.

Range

The difference between the highest and lowest values in a set of numbers.

Factoring a Trinomial (Simple Case)

When factoring a trinomial of the form ax^2 + bx + c, find two numbers that add up to 'b' and multiply to 'c'. For example, to factor x^2 + 5x + 6, find two numbers that add to 5 and multiply to 6. The numbers 2 and 3 satisfy these conditions. Therefore, the factored form is (x+2)(x+3).

Factoring a Trinomial (Complex Case)

To factor a trinomial of the form ax^2 + bx + c where 'a' is not 1, use the following steps: 1. Find two numbers that multiply to ac and add to 'b'. 2. Rewrite the middle term (bx) using these two numbers. 3. Factor by grouping.

Difference of Squares

To factor a binomial of the form a^2 - b^2, use the difference of squares pattern: a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b). For example, x^2- 49 factors as (x+7)(x-7).

Perfect Square Trinomial

To factor a trinomial of the form a^2 + 2ab + b^2, use the perfect square trinomial pattern: a^2 + 2ab + b^2 = (a + b)^2. For example, x^2 + 6x + 9 factors as (x+3)^2.

Factoring by Grouping

Factoring by grouping involves rearranging the terms of a polynomial and then factoring out common factors. For example, to factor x^2 + 7x + 49 - 36z^2, we can rewrite it as (x^2 + 14x + 49) - 36z^2. Then we factor the first group as (x+7)^2 and get (x+7)^2 - 36z^2. Now we have a difference of squares and can factor further as [(x+7) + 6z][(x+7)-6z].
