39
Q

Formula to calculate median

A

(n+1) / 2

40
Q

Calculating the possible original number after 27000 is the rounded number to 2sf

A

• 2nd sf is 7
• 7 is in the thousands column
• 1000/2 = 500
• +/- 500
• 26500 - 27500

41
Q

Interpreting box plots

A

• Compare the medians
• Compare the interquartile ranges
(Smaller IQR = consistent distribution)

42
Q

Positive quadratic equations on a graph look like a

A

U

43
Q

Truncation

A

Cutting off the numbers after a decimal place
eg 9.999 becomes 9

44
Q

Curved surface area of cylinder formula

A

2πrh

45
Q

Calculate HCF

A

Multiply the common prime factors between both numbers (each number only being counted once)
(A ∩ B)

46
Q

Calculate LCM

A

Multiply all the prime factors between both numbers (with the common ones being counted once)
(A ∪ B)

47
Q

Equation of a circle

A

x² + y² = r²

48
Q

Equation of a circle with (a,b) as centre

A

(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²

49
Q

Completing the square:
How would you factorise 3x² + 18x - 1?

A

Factor out the 3:
3 (x² + 6x -1/3)

Completing the square for (x² + 6x -1/3):

Factorise (x² + 6x) by halving the 6
= (x+3)²

Take away 3² and 1/3 from the bracket:
(x+3)² - 3² - 1/3 = (x+3)² - 28/3

Multiply by the 3 we factored out:
3(x+3)² - 28

50
Q

How do you work out acceleration in a velocity time graph?

A

The gradient of the line

51
Q

How do you work out distance in a velocity time graph?

A

The area under the graph

52
Q

A

• Scale factor
• Centre of enlargement

53
Q

What points need to be considered when describing an enlargement?

A

• Type of transformation
• Scale factor
• Centre of enlargement

54
Q

What points need to be considered when describing a rotation?

A

• Angle of rotation
• Direction (clockwise or anti clockwise)
• The point it’s about

55
Q

What points need to be considered when describing a rotation?

A

• Angle of rotation
• Direction (clockwise or anti clockwise)
• The point it’s about

56
Q

Invariant vertex

A

Points that don’t change position after a transformation

57
Q

What does 5! mean?

A

• 5 factorial
• 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

58
Q

Calculate inverse function of f(x) = 2x² - 7

A

Switch y with x
• y = 2x² - 7
• x = 2y² - 7

Make y subject
= y = root x + 7
————— = Ans
2

59
Q

Work out gf(x) when f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = x² + 1

A

• f(x) = 2x + 1
• g(2x+1) = (2x + 1)² + 1
• gf(x) = 4x² + 4x + 2

60
Q

Make f the subject in d = 3(1-f)
————
f - 4

A

• d(f-4) = 3(1-f)
• df- 4d = 3 - 3f
• df + 3f = 4d + 3
• f(d+3) = 4d + 3

f = 4d+ 3
———-
d + 3

61
Q

How to work out mean with intervals and frequency
