Calculate a Sale Price To calculate a sale price, apply percentage discounts and fixed-dollar discounts in order. - A 10% discount on $10: `$10 × (1 − 0.10) = $9`. - A $2 discount on $10: `$10 − $2 = $8`. - A 10% discount followed by a $5 coupon on an original price `x`: `0.90x − 5`. ### 2. Calculate a Unit Rate When two situations use the same rate, calculate the rate per unit first. For example, mowing time can be found from area and rate: `time = area ÷ rate` ### 3. Identify a Function’s Graph Use the function’s domain and range to eliminate graph choices. Substitute convenient values such as `x = 0`, `4`, or `16` to verify points on the graph. For `y = −√x`, the domain is `x ≥ 0`, the range is `y ≤ 0`, and the graph begins at the origin and falls to the right. ### 4. Descriptive Statistics - **Range:** largest value minus smallest value. - **Median:** the middle value after sorting; for an even number of values, average the two middle values. - **Mean (average):** sum of the values divided by the number of values. - **Mode:** the value that occurs most frequently. ### 5. Factoring For a quadratic `ax² + bx + c`, look for factors that multiply to `ac` and add to `b`. Always multiply the factors back together to verify the result. Important identities: - `a² − b² = (a − b)(a + b)` - `(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²` - `(a − b)² = a² − 2ab + b²` ### 6. Geometry Know the basic angle, perimeter, area, and volume formulas. - A straight angle measures `180°`. - A full circle measures `360°`. - Rectangle area: `A = length × width`. - Rectangle perimeter: `P = 2(length + width)`. - Triangle area: `A = ½(base)(height)`. - Rectangular-prism volume: `V = length × width × height`. Read carefully to determine whether a question asks for area, perimeter, surface area, or volume. ### 7. Trigonometry Use **SOH-CAH-TOA**: - `sin θ = opposite ÷ hypotenuse` - `cos θ = adjacent ÷ hypotenuse` - `tan θ = opposite ÷ adjacent` ### 8. Simplifying Equations Use the order of operations, combine like terms, distribute factors, and perform the same operation on both sides of an equation. ### 9. Pythagorean Theorem For a right triangle, `a² + b² = c²`, where `c` is the hypotenuse. ### 10. Similar Triangles Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional. Set up a proportion and cross-multiply to find an unknown side. ### 11. Basic Number Calculations Translate the wording into operations or an equation. For example, if a book is read at `p` pages per minute for `m` minutes and has 160 pages, then `pm = 160`. ### 12. Quadratic Graphs Know how the equation of a quadratic identifies its vertex, intercepts, direction, and overall shape. Vertex form is `y = a(x − h)² + k`, with vertex `(h, k)`. ### 13. Probability For independent events: - `P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B)` - `P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A and B)` ### 14. Ratios Set up equivalent ratios and use cross multiplication to find the unknown quantity. ### 15. Temperature Conversion To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, use: `C = (F − 32) × 5/9` ### 16. Systems of Equations Define the variables, translate each condition into an equation, and solve using substitution or elimination. Pay close attention to words such as **more**, **less**, **total**, and **per**. ## Section 2 — Practice Questions ### Chapter 1 #### Question 1 Which expression is equivalent to 4(x + 5) + 4x + 8? - **A.** 4(2x + 7) - **B.** 8(x + 4) - **C.** 5x + 17 - **D.** 8x + 13 #### Question 2 Which expression is not equal to 24y − 12?
