General Flashcards
What does leave in exact from mean
Number that hasn’t been approximated
So a square root, fraction are in exact form
when do we use + or minus
when we do a square root to get rid of a squared
when two polynomial equations are equal to each other what do we compare
co-effecients, for example 2x^2+6x+5= ax^2+bx+c
a=2
b=6
c=5
what does –> mean
it means that a subsequent statement that follows is reliant on the previous statement to be correct
p–>q means that if p is true then q is true
what does <– mean
all the arrows are the same just whichever statement it points to is the one that is reliant on the other to be correct for itself to be correct
p<–q p is true if q is true
what does <–> mean
means that the subsequent statement is equivalent to the previous one
p<–>q p is equivalent to q
what is an irrational number
number that cannot be written as a fraction
what is a rational number
number that can be written as a fraction
what does it mean when says find the equation connecting x and y
play with it until
the equation is to equal y
or
the equation is to equal x
when reaganing simultaneous equations with letters other than x and y
how do we know which acts as the x so is put first and which is the y so is put second
alphabetical
eg 2A+4B=17 not 4B +2A=17
how to find the vector AB
where we are - where we started
vector B minus vector A
