A

A fraction in its lowest terms with a multiple of a Prime number for the denominator, except for 2 or 5 will always produce a recurring decimal.

50

(x - 3)

59
Q

What are combined events?

A

Two or more events occurijng one after another.

60
Q

What are independent events and give an example?

A

Combined events where the fist event does not affect subsequent events (the second event is not dependent on what happens in the first event). E.g. tossing a coin or throwing dice.

61
Q

What are the probabilities of combined events called?

A

Outcomes.

62
Q

How do you canculate the probability of an outcome?

A

You muliply the probabailities along the branches of that outcome.

63
Q

Only A or B can happen. If the probability of A happening is 23%, what is the probability of B happening>

A

76%

64
Q

What is the formula for finding the interior angle of a regular polygon?

A

Interior angle = Sum of Interior Angles / Number of sides. Or 180 - exterior angle.

65
Q

What is the formula for finding the size of an exterior angle of a regular polygon?

A

Exterior angle = 360/Number of sides, or 180 - interior angle.

66
Q

What does making something the subject of the formula mean?

A

It means that it becomes the only thing on the left hand side pf the formula and the rest is on the right hand side. E.g. b = 2x + 5, b is the subject of the formula.

67
Q

What is theoretical probability?

A

What is expected to happen. E.g. the theoretical probability of getting a head in a coin toss is 50%.

68
Q

What is relative frequency? How do you calculate it?

A

It is the observed frequency of something happening (also known as the experimental probability). If we toss a coin 50 times the relative frequency of heads is the number of times we get heads. Relative frequency = observed frequency / number of trials.

69
Q

What is expected frequency and how doo we calculate it?

A

It is the number of times we expect something to happen based on theoretical probability. For example, if we toss a coin 50 times, we expect to get 25 heads. Expected frequence = number of trials x theoretical probability.

70
Q

What does a solid circle on a Number Line mean?

A

Greater than or equal to, or Less than or equal to.

71
Q

What does a hollow circle mean on a number line?

A

Greater than or less than.

72
Q

Rewrite -2x > 4

A
  • 2 > x or x < - 2
73
Q

In a sequence, how can you tell if it is linear?

A

The first differences are all constant or the same.

74
Q

In a sequence, how can you tell if it is non-linear.

A

The first differences are not constant. If the second differences are constant, then the sequence is quadratic.

75
Q

What is the rule in a sequence?

A

The difference from term to term.

76
Q

Explain how to find the general rule for finding the nth term in a linear sequence, given first difference = D, term = T and number = N.

A

N = D(T-1) + first number or
N = DT + constant (we canculate)

77
Q

What is the next 2 terms in this sequence?
3, 6, 11, 18?

A

DIfferences are 3, 5, 7 and the next 2 would be 11 and 13. So, the next 2 terms are 29 and 42.

78
Q

How to increase a number by a percentage?

A

1 + percentage/100 * number.

79
Q

How to decrease a number by a percentage?

A

1 - percentage/100 * number.

80
Q

What is compound interest?

A

It is interest that is accumulated over a period of time. The interest from 1 year is added to the amount that earns interest. So the interest earns interest.

81
Q

How do you calculate compound interest at 5% over 3 years for $100?

A

100 * (1.05)^3

82
Q

If an object has perimeter P and area A and is increased by a scale factor of 2 what is the new measurements?

A

Perimeter increases to 2P. and area increases to 4P (we need to square the scale factor). For volume we need to cube it.

83
Q

What sort of graph does a quadratic equation give you?

A quadratic equation has a squared term in it, e.g. x^2. The plot is either a smooth U or a a smooth upside-down U.

84
Q

How do you write a coordinate point?

A

(x-co-ordinate, Y-co-ordinate)

85
Q

What is the formula for finding mid-points?

A

((x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2)

86
Q

What is a surd?

A

It is an irrational number (does not terminate). It is a root of a number that does not produce a integer result. For example the square-root of 4 is 2, so it is not a Surd.

87
Q

What is the equation for a straight line and what is the gradient and y-intercept.

A

y = mx + c. m is the gradient and is change in y/change in x. c is the y-intercept, and can be 0.

88
Q

Do you work out a bearing?

A

Start with North, go clockwise, measure the angle using 3-digit numbers.

89
Q

What are the three forms of proportion?

A

Ratio, Fraction and Percentage.

90
Q

Explain a direct and inverse proportion.

A

If x and y are proportional then a directly proportion means that when x increases y increases. For a inverse proportionality, as x increases, y decreases.

91
Q

How do you find time when given distance and speed?

A

Time = distance / speed.
Speed = distance / time.
