A ratio is often written as a pair of numbers with a colon between them.
How is a proportion often written?
A proportion is usually written as a fraction with a number in the numerator compared to the number in the denominator.
What do we say If the relationship between two quantities is the kind where increasing one quantity results in a consistent increase in the other quantity?
If the relationship between two quantities is the kind where increasing one quantity results in a consistent increase in the other quantity, then we say those two quantities vary directly or are directly proportional.
What do we say If two quantities are related so that increasing one consistently decreases the other.
If two quantities are related so that increasing one consistently decreases the other, then we say those two vary indirectly or are inversely proportional.
How do we make a fraction into a decimal?
To make a fraction into a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.
How do you make a fraction into a percentage?
To make a fraction into a percentage, divide the numerator by the denominator, then multiply by 100.
How do you make a percentage into a fraction?
To make a percentage into a fraction, give the original percentage a denominator of 100, and then simplify if necessary.
What is the distance formula(not the one for distance of two points)?
The distance formula is Distance= Rate x Time(d=rt).
What is a rate?
A rate is a ratio that tells us how often one even happens in relation to another event happening. Rates are usually but not always expressed in terms of time.
How do we find the distance traveled by an object?
To find the distance traveled by an object, we can multiply the rate at which the object travels by the time that the object spends traveling at that rate. d=rt
What are some more things we can use the distance formula for (not the one for distance between to points on coord plane)?
We can use the same formula to find out how long an object takes to cover a certain distance in a given time. We can also use the formula to find out the speed of an object that covers a certain distance in a given time. The same relationship can be used to discuss the rates at which other processes happen, not just the rate of movement of an object.
What is a complex conjugate?
For our purposes, the complex conjugate of a complex number is another complex number whose real component is identical but whose imaginary component has the opposite sign but is otherwise identical. For example, if we’re given the imaginary number 5+2i, then its complex conjugate is 5-2i.
How do we remove the imaginary component of a complex denominator, using the complex conjugate?
To do this, we take the fraction with the complex denominator and multiply it by a fraction whose numerator and denominator are both equal to the complex conjugate of the denominator of the first fraction.
What is a set?
In the context of SAT “MATH”, a set is a group of specific things- usually a group of numbers. In set notation, there are curly braces on either end of the set, and commas between the elements of the set. Example:The set of positive integers less than 4 is as follows: {1,2,3}
What is algebra?
For our purposes, algebra is the process of using variables like x to stand for unknown numbers in mathematical expressions, and then manipulating those expressions to find the values of one or more of those unknown numbers.
What is an equation?
On the SAT, an equation is a statement that involves an algebraic expressions and an equal sign.
What is a system of equations?
A system of equations contains two or more equations with the same variables.
What is the solution to a systems of equations?
A solution to a system of equations is a set of values that creates a valid statement when plugged into each equation in the system. It is also an intersection point between two equations on a graph.
What are inequalities?
On the SAT, inequalities are statements that show a particular amount is greater than or less than a second amount.
What does inclusive mean in an inequality?
Inclusive means included in that range. The phrase “from 0 to 10, inclusive,” means that 0 and 10 are included in the range.
What does exclusive means in an inequality?
Exclusive means not included in that range. The phrase “from 0 to 10, exclusive,” means that 0 and 10 are not included in the range.
What is the one difference between the way you solve an inequality and the way you solve an equation?
You solve an inequality the same way you solve an equation, with one difference: when you divide or multiply by a negative number to solve for a variable, you have to switch the direction of the inequality symbol.
What will the solution of the inequality look like when you graph it?
When we graph an inequality, we end up with a shaded region on the side of the line that contains all the points that are solutions to the inequality.
How do we check our solution for the inequality?
We can check whether a particular point is a solution of an inequality by plugging that point into that inequality. If the result is a valid statement, then the point is a solution of the inequality.
What will the solution to a systems of inequalities look like when you graph it?
When we graph a system of inequalities, the solution region will be the set of points in the coordinate plane that satisfy both inequalities.
Formula for exponential growth or decay?
INITIAL AMOUNT OF SUBSTANCE(rate of growth or decay)^amount of time. Or A(b)^x
What does the Growth or Decay part means when were talking about exponetial Growth or Decay?
Growth and Decay refer to the rate the function is increasing or decreasing. If as x approaches infinity/increase the rate increases that’s exponential Growth. If as x approaches infinity/increases the rate decreases it’s exponential decay. EXPONENTIAL GROWTH OR DECAY DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE VALUE OF THE FUNCTION/ Y ITSELF IS INCREASING OR DECREASING AS X INCREASES, IT ONLY TALKS ABOUT THE RATE.
Why does an exponential function that have a rate less than between 0% and 100% has a growth rate when x is negative A(b)^-x.
Because the negative turn the fraction into its reciprocal which is an increasing rate/greater than 100%. A(0.80)^-x —> A(4/5)^-x —> A(5/4)^x, 5/4= 1.25 =125%.

What arcs can two points on the circumference form?
Two points on the circumference of a circle can define two different arcs. One arc is the shorter distance between the two points, while the other arc is the longer distance between the two points. When context isn’t sufficient we can use the term minor and major arc.

What is a probability?
The probability of an event is a fraction from 0 to 1 that describes how likely the event is to happen. If the fraction is closer to 1, the event is more likely to happen; if the fraction is closer to 0, the event is less likely to happen.
How do you find the probability of something?
To determine the probability, you first calculate the total number of possible outcomes and place this number in the denominator of the fraction; then, you determine the number of outcomes that satisfy the event’s requirements, and place this number in the numerator of the fraction.
How do you find the probability of two or more events happening?
To find the probability of two or more events happening in a sequence, we just find the probability of each event by itself, and then multiply them by each other.
