Conjuction
Compound Statement joined by AND - true when both are true (^)
Disjunction
Compound Statement joined by OR - true when 1 is true (V)
Intersection
a SET of elements formed where 2 sets OVERLAP (∩)
Union
a SET of elements formed where 2 sets combine (U)
Conditional
If p, then q (implies, only if, is sufficient for)
Logically Equivalent
statements with the same final values in a truth table
Biconditional
“if and only if” - “equivalences” F-F and T-T
Converse
switch p and q - If q, then p
Principal of Inference
__→T = T then __ is T
Principal of Contraposition
__ →F = T then __ is F
Principal of Syllogism
p→q = T and q→r =T then p→r is T (p→q→r)
Principal of Substitution of Statements
- Math Teachers are cool.
- danny is a Math Teacher.
Therefore, Danny is cool.
Disjunctive Inference
F V __ = T then __ = T
Equivalence Inference
T ←→ __ = T then __ = T
Empty (Null) Set
set which has NO elements {}, ø - proper subset of ALL sets
Tautology
True no matter what values are assigned to p and q
Contrapositive
p → q becomes q’ → p’
Vertex Theorem
Corners of a shaded region - max or min value of f(x,y) = ax+by+c
Determinant
in a SQUARE matrix ( detA or |A| ) is -/
Multiplying Matricies
must have same inside dimensions when put next to each other
axb x bxc - b have to be the same and axc is product
Adding/Subtracting Matricies
Must have same dimensions then add/subtract from same position in both
Inverse of a Matrix
[ : : ] - change sign of \
- switch /
Dependent system of equations
infinite solutions - same line
Independent system of equations
one solution - lines intersect
Consistent system of equations
lines that touch - not parallel
Inconsistant system of equations
parallel lines
Horizontal Asymptote
HA
Vertical Asymptote
occurs when denominator has an exponent that doesn’t cancel
