Basic Arithmetic and Number Systems Quiz

Study Notes

Basic Arithmetic Operations

Addition involves combining two or more numbers to find their total.
Subtraction involves finding the difference between two numbers.
Multiplication involves repeatedly adding a number to itself a specific number of times.
Division involves splitting a number into equal parts.

Number Systems

Natural numbers are positive whole numbers (1, 2, 3...).
Whole numbers include zero and positive whole numbers (0, 1, 2, 3...).
Integers include zero, positive whole numbers, and negative whole numbers (...-2, -1, 0, 1, 2...).
Rational numbers can be expressed as a fraction p/q where p and q are integers, and q is not zero.
Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.
Real numbers include all rational and irrational numbers.
Imaginary numbers are numbers that, when squared, result in a negative number.

Algebra

Variables represent unknown quantities.
Equations state that two expressions are equal.
Inequalities show a relationship where one expression is greater than or less than another.
Linear equations represent a straight line on a graph.
Quadratic equations involve a variable raised to the second power.
Exponents represent repeated multiplication.
Polynomials are expressions involving variables and their exponents.

Geometry

Points are locations in space.
Lines are straight paths extending infinitely in two directions.
Angles are the space between two intersecting lines.
Triangles have three sides and three angles.
Polygons are two-dimensional shapes with straight sides.
Circles are perfectly round shapes.
Area measures the space inside a two-dimensional shape.
Perimeter measures the distance around a two-dimensional shape.
Volume measures the space occupied by a three-dimensional object.
Solid figures are three-dimensional shapes.

Measurement

Units of measurement are used to quantify physical quantities.
Standard units are used for consistency.
Common units include meters, centimeters, kilometers, grams, kilograms, liters, seconds, minutes, hours.

Data Analysis

Data collection involves gathering information.
Data organization involves arranging data in a structured way.
Data presentation involves displaying data in charts, graphs, or tables.
Data interpretation involves analyzing data to derive insights.
Measures of central tendency (e.g., mean, median, mode) summarize data.
Measures of variability (e.g., range, standard deviation) describe the spread of data.

Statistics

Statistics is the science of collecting, organizing, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data.
Frequency distributions show how often different values occur.
Probability measures the likelihood of an event happening.
Samples are representative portions of a population.
Populations are the entire group being studied.

Functions

A function assigns exactly one output value to each input value.
Functions can be represented graphically, with tables, or algebraically with equations.
Linear functions produce a straight line on a graph and often follow the form y = mx + b.
Quadratic functions form a parabola on a graph and usually follow the form y = ax² + bx + c.
Exponential functions involve an exponent and can often show growth or decay.
Logarithmic functions are the inverse of exponential functions.

Trigonometry

Trigonometry deals with relationships between angles and sides of triangles.
Trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan) relate angles and sides.
Applications of trigonometry are common in surveying, navigation, and engineering.

Calculus

Calculus studies change and accumulation.
Differential calculus deals with rates of change (derivatives).
Integral calculus deals with accumulation of quantities (integrals).
Applications include calculating areas, volumes, and velocities.
