Algebra Ratios (cont) Statistics and Average
ax 2+bx+c sum roots: -b/a discount of marked price = discount / Standard deviation = mean -> (number-m‐
Δ =b 2-4ac product roots: c/a marked price * 100 ean)2 -> mean -> square root(mean)
Usually, these questions include:
Ratios 1. ratios of shared amounts, From video
2. time to perform a task, Work and Rate
q1 : q2 = q2-final : q1-final
num<denum so fraction<1 so (x+1)/(y+1) > R=J/T
3. investments and interests
x/y machines identiques: nR=J/T
4. price increases or decreases
num>denum so fraction>1 so (x+1)/(y+1) < => FOR PROFITS
x/y Geometry / Coordinate Geometry
from exercise: a-10 + b-20 + c-15 = 11k + Number properties air triangle = 1/2 * products of sides * sin
18k + 24k so 1105-45=53k (ratios gains) (inside angle)
remainder of sum = sum of remainders
efficacy=1/t (inverse proportionnality) sin 150° = 1/2
remainder of product = product of
1/t1 : 1/t2 : 1/t3 sum of interior angles of polygon = (n-
remainders
take LCM = k so you have k/t1 : k/t2 : k/t3 2)*180
nb of trailing zeros = at least nb of 5s
compute to get x : y : z form Pythagorean triplets (c is odd, at least 2
then do x + y + z and cross product number of factors = product of each power
prime numbers, 1 even number): (3,4,5) /
+ 1 [ex: 120 -> 23*51*31-> (1+1)*(1+1)*
Rate of interest = interestperyear/principa‐ (5,12,13) / (7,24,25) / (8,15,17) / (9,40,41) /
(3+1) = 16]
linvested * 100 (11,60,61) / (12,35,37)
from exercise: If remainder of product to
When compared, use compared amount as area triangle = r (inserted circle) * semi-peri‐
find, can work by pairs
the base meter triangle
so you have Δ / base * 100 If two expressions are equal, the exponents
equation of a circle center (a,b): (x-a) 2 + (y-
must be equal (if 2n+2m = 23m-1 then n+2m
Use quantity as unit of q, the percentage b)2 = r2
= 3m-1)
change is
equation of a line that crosses two interc‐
Δ = increased or decrease quantity AP Sum of arithmetic progression = (1st +
epts: x/value x + y/value y = 1 so (value x)y
Δ/1(original amount) * 100 Last / 2) * nb of terms
+ (value y)x = (value x)(value y)
To make a profit, take initial price and add AP nth term → an = a1 + (n-1) * d (common
the desired profit so that: new price per divisor)
unit = initial (1+profit) AP sum of the n first terms : n/2 [2a1 + (n-
Always find a 100 that makes the calculation 1)d]
easy = if it's not marked price it's cost price GP sum of first n terms = a(rn-1) / r-1where
etc. r is common ratio
On Y1, simple and compound interests are Number of ways of selecting two distinct
the same integers from the set of first 100 positive
Find interest rate w/ difference and interest integers = 100C2 ways.
on interest i.e., 100C2 = 100 × 992
Interest = principal * rate * time
Sets
P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
P(AUBUC) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) +
P(A∩B∩C) - [P(A∩B) + P(A∩C) + P(B∩C)]
