Study Notes
Arithmetic
- Arithmetic is the foundation of mathematics.
- The four main operations in arithmetic are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Natural numbers (â„•) are used for counting and include zero and all nonnegative integers.
- Integers (ℤ) include natural numbers, their negatives, and zero.
- Rational numbers (â„š) include integers and fractions.
- When calculating longitude differences:
- If both longitudes are east or west, subtract the lower from the higher.
- If one is east and the other west, add them.
- If the sum exceeds 180 degrees, subtract it from 360 degrees.
- The Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, meaning the sun moves 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
- 1 sun hour corresponds to 15 degrees of longitude, 1 minute of sun time to 15 minutes of longitude, and 1 second of sun time to 15 seconds of longitude.
- Sun time in a location is determined by the sun's position relative to its local meridian.
- Standard Time uses time ranges, dividing areas into approximately 15-degree longitude sections using the same time within each range.
- Summer hour (daylight saving time) is observed in many areas during spring and summer.
- To find the difference in sun hours between two places, divide the longitude difference (in degrees, minutes, and seconds) by 15.
- Inversely proportional quantities have a ratio of their corresponding values.
- Percentages can be calculated using proportions, where part/whole = percent/100.
- The arithmetic mean (average) of a set of data is the sum of the data divided by the number of data points.
Algebra
- Quadratic equations are of the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are coefficients and a ≠0.
- The roots of a quadratic equation are its solutions, which can be found using the quadratic formula:
- x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a
- Incomplete quadratic equations are quadratic equations where one or more coefficients are zero.
- Linear equations are equations of the form y = mx + c, representing a straight line on a graph.
- Parabolic equations are equations of the form y = ax² + bx + c, representing a parabola on a graph.
- When solving quadratic equations, the term b² - 4ac (the discriminant) must be greater than or equal to zero for real solutions.
- If the discriminant is negative, the equation has no real solutions, but may have complex solutions (which involve imaginary numbers).
- Second-degree equations can be simplified by manipulating the equation and factoring terms.
- Special case quadratic equations:
- ax² + bx = 0: Can be solved by factoring out 'x'.
- ax² + c = 0: Can be solved by isolating 'x' and taking the square root.
