28
Q

how do you find the prime factors of a number?

A

by making a prime factor tree

29
Q

once you have put the numbers from a prime factor tree in a ven-diagram
-how do you work out the HCF
-how do you work out the LCM

A

HCF = times all the numbers in the middle section
LCM = times all the numbers in the ven-diagram

30
Q

what is a factor?

A

Factors are numbers that divide exactly into another number. For example, the factors of 8 are: 1, 2, 4, 8.

31
Q

what is a multiple?

A

A multiple is a number that a certain number can go into.

e.g. 12 is a multiple of 4

32
Q

what does a negative power do to a fraction?

A

it flips the fraction.

33
Q

how do you work out the mean?

A

you add all the numbers up and then divide it by the amount of numbers you added up.

34
Q

how do you work out the median?

A

by lining up all the numbers in ascending order and then working out the middle number.

35
Q

how do work out the mode?

A

by working out which number is the most common.

36
Q

how do you work out the range?

A

by working out the difference between the largest and smallest number.

37
Q

what is x?
2x + 9 = 15

A

2x + 9 = 15 (minus 9)
2x = 6 (divide by 2)
x = 3

38
Q

what is a?
8(a+3) = 24

A

8(a+3) = 24 (factorise)
8a + 24 = 24 (minus 24)
8a =0 (divide by 8)
a = 0

39
Q

what is x?
4x + 4 = 2x + 9

A

4x + 4 = 2x + 9 (minus 2x)
2x + 4 = 9 (minus 4)
2x = 5 ( divide by 2)
x = 2.5

40
Q

what is x?

3x-1 / x+2 = 2

A

3x-1 / x+2 = 2 (times by (x - 2))
3x - 1 = 2(x + 2) (expand brackets)
3x - 1 = 2x + 4 ( minus 2x)
x - 1 = 4 ( plus 1 )
x = 5

41
Q

what is the nth term for this sequence?

5, 8, 11, 14

A

5, 8, 11, 14

(3 goes there as the numbers increase by 3)
∨
nth term = 3n + 2
∧
(the 2 goes there as the 0th term is 2)

42
Q

what is the method to work out the nth term for a quadratic sequence?

A

1) work out the difference of the difference between the terms

2)divide that number by 2 and put that in front of n²

3)make a table and work out the remainder when subtracting the quadratic from the original sequence numbers

4)work out the nth term for that sequence

5)put it together like this:
_n² +/- _n +/- _

43
Q

how do you factorise this sequence:
x² + 9x + 20

A

x² + 9x + 20

1)list the pairs with a product of 20(the last number)=
* 1 and 20
* 2 and 10
* 4 and 5

2) find a pair with a sum of +9 (second number)
= 4 and 5
3) put it in brackets like this
= (x + 4)(x + 5

44
Q

how do you factorise this sequence:
2x² + 7x +6

A

2x² + 7x +6
^ ^ ^
A B C

1) A(2) x C(6) = 12 (needs to be the product)
B = 7 (needs to be the sum)
2) find number pair
= 3 and 4
3)split middle term
= 2x² + 3x + 4x + 6
4) split the sequence into 2 sections
= [2x² + 3x] [4x + 6]
5) factorise the pairs
= x(2x + 3) + 2(2x + 3)
6) collect terms:
= (x + 2)(2x + 3)

45
Q

how do you rationalise this fraction:
2/√5

A

1) times it by the denominator:
2/√5 x √5/√5 = 2/√5 / √25
2) simplify :
= 2/√5 / 5

46
Q

rationalise this fraction:
5-√6 / √6

A

5-√6 / √6

1) times by the denominator
= 5-√6 / √6 x √6 / √6
2)simplify if you can
= 5√6 - 6 / 6

47
Q

how do you rationalise this fraction?

2 / 4+√2

A

2 / 4+√2

1) times by the denominator but using the reverse operation:
= 2 / 4+√2 x (4-√2) / (4-√2)
2)first work out the numerator:
= 2 x (4 - √2)
= 8 + 2√2
3)work out the denominator with F.O.I.L
F = 4 x 4 = 16
O = 4 x √2 = 4√2
I = -√2 x 4 = - 4√2
L = √2 x - √2 = -√4 = -2
16 + 4√2 - 4√2 - 2 = 14

4) simplify the fraction
= 8+2√2 / 14
= 4+√2 / 7

48
Q

what calculation do you do to work out the angle of a pie chart a set of the data should have?

52
Q

what correlation would a graph with the points going from the top left –> the bottom right have?

A

61
Q

How do you find a fraction of a number (9/20 of 360)

A

You multiply bottom then times by top.( 360 / 20) x 9 = 162

62
Q

How do you convert from fraction to decimal and from decimal to percentage?

A

Fraction—— divide —> decimal (7/20 is 7 divided by 20)

Decimal —— x by 100 —> percentage
