Higher Test Flashcards
Surds rules
Surd a x surd b =surd ab
Surd a / surd b = surd a/b
Surd a x surd a =a
Surd a + surd a = 2 surd a
Area of square/ rectangle
Width x length
Area of triangle
Base x height /2
Area of curcle
Pi x radius squared
Area of trapezium
1/2 (a +b) x height
(A and b are the 2 parallel lines)
Perimeter
Add up all the sides
Fraction rules
Multiply= times across
Division=KFC (keep flip change) (x)
Addition=same denominator
Subtraction=same denominator
Index notation (rules)
N to power of a X N to power of b = N (a+b)
N to power of a / N to power of b = N(a-b)
(N to power of a)b = N (aXb)
Percentage chnage
Change/ original x 100
Hcf of 2 numbers
Prime factor trees. Venn diagram. Times whatever numbers are in overlap
Recurring decimals to fractions
EG. Let x= 4.9 (r)
X10. X10
10x=49.9999
Numbers after dp are exact same
10x-x=9x. 49.9999-4.9999= 45
9x=45 /9 x=5/1
Directly portional equation
Y=kx
(K is constant)
(Use when 2 things have a correlation and effect eachother)
(Eg amount of cat food left out and number of cats came)
Inversely proportional equation
Y=k/x
(K is constant)
(Use when the 2 things have no correlation and dont effect eachother)
(Eg. Number of people and number of crows)
Perimeter of circle
Pi x diameter OR 2 x pi x radius
(Pi is 3.14)
(Perimeter is same as circumference
