Study Notes
BEDMAS
- BEDMAS is an acronym used to remember the order of operations in mathematics.
- It stands for Brackets, Exponents, Division and Multiplication (from left to right) , Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
- The acronym ensures consistency in solving mathematical expressions by defining the order in which operations are performed.
Translations
- A translation is a transformation that moves every point of a figure the same distance and direction.
- The translation vector is used to describe this movement. It specifies the horizontal and vertical changes.
- In the example, the translation vector used is <2, 3>. This signifies a shift of 2 units to the right and 3 units upwards.
Circle Angles
- A full angle of a circle measures 360 degrees.
- This corresponds to 100% of the circle.
- Each degree represents 1/360th of the whole circle, or 0.278% of the circle.
Reflection
- A reflection is a transformation that produces a mirror image of a shape across a line.
- The line acts as a mirror, and each point on the shape is reflected to the same distance on the other side of the line.
Circle Graph Angles
- In a circle graph, the central angle corresponding to a specific percentage is determined by using the following formula:
- Angle = (Percentage / 100) * 360°
- This formula directly relates the percentage of the whole represented by a section to the central angle it occupies in the graph.
