Quantitative Reasoning Flashcards
What is the difference of squares?
a2-b2=(a+b)(a-b)
What is this square binomials?
a2+2ab+b2=(a+b)2
a2-2ab+b2=(a-b)2
What is the quadatic equation?
x=(-b(+/-)(b2-4ac)1/2)/(2a)
What is the quadratic equation?
ax2+bc+c=0
What to do when you have a simultaneous equation?
add them together
ex:
2x-9y=11
x+12y=-8
3x+3y=3
What to do when you absolute value?
Do both + and - numbers
ex
Ix-12l=3
x-12=3;x-12=-3
What to do with inequality?
It is just like an = sign
X or / by number when the sign is flipped
*General Rule of absolute value
IwhateverI < p when p>0
IwhateverI < p means -p<whatever></whatever>
<p>IwhateverI>p p>P</p>
</whatever>
What are the su of interior angles?
180
How to find exterior angle?
subtract interior angle by 180
Area formula of a triangle
1/2bh
Triangle inequality therom
Length on 1 side of triangle must be greater than the difference of the other 2 side
Length of 1 side of triangle less than sum of other 2 sides
What do similar tirangel have?
have same shape
corresponding angles equal
corresponding sides proportion
What are the 3 special triangles?
Isoceles, equalateral, right
Isosoceles triangle
2 sides equal
angles opposide side are =
Equilateral triangle
3 sides equal
all angles equal to 60
area= s2 *(3)1/2/4
Right Triangles
2 sides
legs are base and height
Pythagorean Therom
a2+b2=c2
Pythagorean Tripelet
3,4,5 and interger
5, 12, 13
45-45-90( ratio 1:1:(2)1/2)
30-60-90 triangles
ratio: 1:(3)1/2:2
Area of trapezoids
((b1+b2)/2)(height)
Paralelogram
Opposite sides equal
area=base*height
Height perpendicular to base
