Q

What is a Conjugate?

A

Two sets of numbers that, for one set are added and the second set subtracted. (2+sqrt(2) and 2-sqrt(2) are conjugates).

You can multiply something by it’s conjugate to get squares (E.G., (x-y)*(x+y) = x^2 - y^2. This becomes even more useful when dealing with complex numbers (5-4i multiplied with it’s conjugate becomes 41)

Sometimes annotated with a line over the variable, sometimes with an asterisk*

Q

What is the equation of a parabola written in Vertex Form?

A

y = a(x-h)^2 + k (I think this is also called standard form? The other is called the general form..)

the vertex of the parabola is (h, k), and a is where the parabola crosses the y axis (set x=0 and solve).

If the vertex is not known but the “roots” (y=0) are, then you can write the equation as y = a(x-r1)(x-r2) where r1 and r2 are the two roots, then you can expand this to the quadratic formula, use algebra to equate h and k to b and c (a is still a), and then re-write in vertex form.. spoiler alert: h=b/(-2a) and k=c-ah^2. This process is known as “completing the square”

Q

What are Permutations (probability), and what is the basic equation?

A

Used when forming a subset and order matters (e.g., listing number of options for filling out a baseball lineup where batting order matters given a certain roster size)

n!/(n-k)! where n = number of options & k = number of selections. (e.g., for a baseball team with 26 players, the number of 9-man lineup permutations is 26!/(26-9)!

Q

What is the Euclidean Algorithm and how do you use it?

A

It is a method for determining the highest possible common divisor. To do it, you divide the larger number by the smaller number which results in a number and a remainder. You then divide the previous denominator by the remainder and continue this until the remainder is 0. At that point, your previous remainder is the highest common divisor.

E.G. for 21 and 35: 35/21=1r14 21/14=1r7 14/7=2r0 so the highest common divisor is 7.

The highest number of possible steps required is 5 times the number of digits in the smaller number, so in the example that would be 5x2, or 10 steps. If you go 10 steps and still have a remainder, the numbers have no common divisor.

Q

How do you determine the equation for the line tangent to a curve at a given point on the curve?

A

Take the derivative of the function, then plug in the X value for the point you are interested in. This is the slope of the line. You then plug that X into the original equation to determine Y for that X: you now know the slope of the line and one point that the line crosses through so you can use that to determine the y-intercept and write the line in slope-intercept form.

eg. if f’(x) @ x=3 = (2/3) and f(x) @ x=3 = 7, we can plug this into the equation to get 7=(2/3)(3)+b, so b=5 making the slope-intercept equation of the line become y=(2/3)x+5

Q

What is the equation to determine the average rate of change of a function over a given interval?

A

[f(a+h)-f(a)]/h where a=starting point and h=difference between starting and ending point (e.g. if finding the average from x=2 to x=5, a=2, h=3). THERE IS NO NEED TO TAKE A DERIVATIVE! This uses the ‘position’ function and estimates average velocity change without using calculus.

If the equation represents position, this is literally just finish position minus starting position divided by time to get from start to finish, which would be your average speed (velocity) over that distance.

Q

How do you determine the maximum value of an equation?

A

Take the derivative and set it = 0. The derivative is the rate of change, so any time a function reaches a max/min, the slope of the line will be 0 at that point so you can find all max/mins by setting the derivative = 0.

Q

How do you determine max/min point of a function, and how do you know if those points are local maximums or minimums?

A

Take the derivative and set it equal to zero to find local max/mins, then take another derivative and plug in those Xs to determine if the slope was positive or negative.

If the second derivative at that point is negative, it’s a local maximum, and if the second derivative is positive it’s a local maximum.

Q

What is lim(x->2) asking

A

What does the function approach as x goes to 2 from the right side of x (i.e. counting backwards).

If you want to know the limit as you approach from the “left” (counting forwards) you would write lim(x->2^-) where there is a minus in the exponent position to indicate you want to approach it from the left.

Q

How do you write the equation for a secant line?

A

You would be asked to find the secant line through two x values, so just solve the equation for those given values to find the corresponding y values. At that point you have two known points of a line and you just write the equation for that line (solve for the rise/run (m) between those two points, then use one point to solve for b and you’ll have y=mx+b)

Q

What is the point of a secant line?

A

Secant lines are intro to calculus. you pick two points on a curve and determine the slope, then continue moving one point towards the other and watch what the slope does as you approach. This is equivalent to taking a derivative, but assumes you don’t yet know how to do that.

Q

What is the difference between hyperbolic geometry and euclidean geometry?

A

1) Where Euclidean geometry says that, for a given line and a point not on that line, there exists only one line which can run through point P and be parallel to the line, hyperbolic geometry says there are at least two parallel lines, plus an infinite level of ultra-parallels (which I envision as projections onto the original two lines, but I don’t fully understand yet)
2) the sum of all angles in a triangle must be LESS than 180 (they must equal 180 for Euclidean geometry). In fact, you can use the formula pi-(sum of the angles) to calculate the surface area of a polygon in hyperbolic geometry.

Q

What is the difference between elliptic geometry and euclidean geometry?

A

Elliptic geometry is basically spherical geometry, which is, for the most part, opposite of hyperbolic geometry.

One key difference is that Euclidean says there can only be one line that goes through point P that is not on line L which is parallel to line L, but elliptic geometry says no parallel lines exist (picture drawing two lines around a sphere - eventually they have to cross twice)

97
Q

Describe Metallic Bonding

A

Metallic Bonding is a type of covalent bonding that specifically occurs between atoms of metals in which the electrons are free to move throughout the lattice.

98
Q

Why is water able to dissolve many different substances?

A

since water is polar (and therefore partially charged) its molecules attract ions that are oppositely charged and the charged parts of other polar substances.

Dissolving into solution has more to do with bonding and charges than molecular mass or the size of a molecule

99
Q

Which is stronger: Ionic or Covalent bonds?

A

Covalent bonds are stronger: they occur when one subatomic particle is shared between two atoms keeping them very tightly bonded.

Metallic bonds are similar to covalent, except instead of sharing an electron pair, one electron from each atom is free to “roam” throughout the lattice. This is a strong bond, but slightly weaker than covalent bonds

Ionic bonds occur between two oppositely charged particles (ions).

All of these are stronger than hydrogen bonding (a dipole-dipole bond), which is stronger than Van der Waals forces (which are the weakest type of bond).

100
Q

True or False: Metals lose electrons

A

True: metals lose electrons to form cations (positively charged ions) in order to form stable octlet (8 electrons in outer shell). They absorb energy in an endothermic process to lose these electrons.

Therefor, a metal’s electron affinity (how tightly it holds onto electrons) is lower than that of non-metals

101
Q

True of False: Non-Metals lose electrons

A

False: non-metals gain electrons to form anions (negatively charge ions) so they can have a stable octlet (8 electrons in outer shell)

Non-metals release energy (exothermic) in order to gain electrons.

102
Q

True or False: a Non-Metal’s electron affinity is higher than a Metal’s

A

True: a metal is prepared to lose an electron to form cations, so it must hold on less-tightly to it’s electrons which means metals have lower affinity than non-metals

103
Q

True or False: Electron Affinity increases as you move upward and from left to right on the periodic table

A

True. This is also true for increasing electronegativity.

104
Q

Looking at the periodic table can help remember this: the rows correspond to the number of rings. The first row only has two elements, the 2nd has 8, and the 4th has 18 (not sure why the 3rd doesn’t also have 18

106
Q

What is a valence electron?

A

Number of electrons in an outer shell.

If the outer shell is full, the element tends to be inert.

If it has one or two electrons more than a full shell, it tends to be highly reactive due to the ease of removing those electrons to form cations.

If it is one or two electrons short of a full shell, it tends to be reactive due to the ease of gaining missing electrons and forming anions or alternatively covalent bonds.

107
Q

What happens under Alpha decay?

A

The element basically loses a Helium atom, therefore Mass decreases by 4 and protons reduce by 2.

108
Q

109
Q

What happens under +Beta decay?

A

Beta decay is the addition/subtraction of neutrons without changing the mass. Positive beta means it’s gaining a neutron, so the element must lose a proton to maintain its mass.

122
Q

How would you solve LOG(x) = 3/2LOG(16)-2/3LOG(8)

A

3/2log(16) can be re-written as Log(16^(3/2)) or log(sqrt(16^3)). Similarly, -2/3LOG(8) can be re-written as -LOG(8^(2/3))

The two LOGs can be combined into one to be LOG((sqrt(16^3)/(8^(2/3)).

In this equation, X is inside the log so you only have to solve for the portion on the right inside the log, which equates to 16.

123

147
Q

How do you do synthetic division of polynomials? (e.g. (x^3+2x+3)/(x-3)

A

first you set the divisor = 0 and solve (find the root) - the solution is placed outside the “L” (in this example it is 3). Inside you put the coefficient for each of the “Xs” (in this example it would be 1 0 2 3).

You then start by carrying down the leading coefficient unchanged (in this example the 1 moves down). For the rest, you multiply the carried down number by the root (outside the L), and add it to the next number (0+13) and carry that down. The last number is the remainder For this problem it’s 2+33=11, 3+11*3=36).

The final answer is 1 3 11 r36. This can be re-written as x^2+3x+11+36/(x-3)

Do this one of two ways. One is to set y=0 and solve for X, then set x=0 and solve for y. Each should yield two equal and opposite numbers, and the axes is the sum of the two (diameter, not radius..). Note that if the center of the ellipse is not (0,0), then you’ll have to set (x-h)=0 and (y-k)=0.

The schools will want you to remember the equation for an ellipse as:

(x-h)^2/a^2 + (y-k)^2/b^2=1

and have you re-write the equation in this form. a and b are the “radii” so double them to get the axes.

In this example, the equation becomes x^2+16y^2=16, which means a=4 and b=1, so the minor and major axes are 2 and 8.

Q

Use calculator to determine the variance of the following set of ages of 11 men:

31 42 38 34 37 38 60 37 39 47 49

A

Put the list into the calculator (stat -> edit), then have the calculator run the statistics (stat -> calc -> 1-var stats). This will report the standard deviation as SIGMAx and the sample deviation as Sx.

Since this is a complete set (nothing to suggest this is meant to be a sample-set of a larger set of men), the variance can be found by squaring the standard devation (SIGMAx). You can type that number in manually and square it, or pull it directly (vars -> statistics -> SIGMAx) and square it that way.

Answer = 60.45

Note that if it were a sample, you’d do it exactly the same way, but you’d square Sx instead.

Other key 1-var statistics reported are Xbar (the average), and lower down are min, med, max

Q

Complete the square:

Ax^2+Bx+C=0

A

Completing the Square means converting into the form A(x+d)^2+e=0.

You can do this by recognizing that x^2+bx is a square that is x by x plus a rectangle that is x by b. You can then create an ‘almost’ square by adding half the rectangle to each side so that you end up with (x+b/2)^2. But, this is missing the bottom right square which is (b/2)^2. So… x^2+Bx can be re-written as (x+b/2)^2 - (b/2)^2.

Using some algebra from here you find that d=b/2a and e = c - b^2/4a. a is still a.

Q

Describe Natural Transmutation

A

Transmutation is the conversion of one element into another by a process taking place in the nucleus. In Natural Transmutation, the element changes without another entity. There is only one element/entity on the left side of the equation/arrow (the reactant side).

186
Q

Describe Artificial Transmutation

A

Transmutation is the conversion of one element into another by a process taking place in the nucleus. In Artificial Transmutation, there is a change in the number of protons of an element caused by another element/entity. There would be one or more element/entity on the left side of the equation/arrow (the reactant side).

Q

What is Oxidation?

What is the oxidation number of oxygen in the carbonate ion found in Cu2CO3(OH)2

A

Oxidation is the loss of electrons. It does not have to involve oxygen.

The easiest way to determine the oxidation number for an element is to use the periodic table. Elements in column 1 will tend to lose one electron to form a stable outer ring, and will therefore have +1 Oxidation Number. Similarly elements in column 17 will gain one electron resulting in a -1 Oxidation Number.

Oxygen is in column 16, so it will tend to gain two electrons and have an oxidation number of -2.

Q

How does the Proportional Reasoning method of estimation work?

A

Proportional reasoning involves thinking about relationships and making comparisons of quantities or values. For me, this type of estimation is really just using common sense or basic math. You might use proportional reasoning to estimate the cost of a tank of gas knowing the volume of the tank and the price/gallon..

Q

How does the Symmetry and Conservation method of estimation work?

A

The key concept seems to be that symmetry greatly simplifies any problem to which it can be applied.

Other than this definition, this one is poorly defined and a google search produces nothing usable. The only example is the Gauss example where he recognizes that the sum of 1+2+3..+100 can be easily calculated by recognizing that adding them in reverse (1+100, 2+99, etc.) can be easily summed as 100x101 (they all add to 101), and you can then divide by 2.

Q

A beaker holds 50ml of a gas at 25C and 736mmHg. What would the volume be if the temperature were increased to 60C?

A

V1/T1=V2/T2 in Kelvin.

50/(25+273) = V2/(60+273) V2=55.8ml

Q

Given a fixed container starting at the same pressure and temperature with a pinhole leak, which is correct?

1) Helium would leak faster than Argon
2) Argon would leak faster than Helium
3) They would leak at the rate

A

Helium would leak faster. Since Argon is heavier, it moves slower at the same temperature.
