A0 = 1 Linear Equations
A1 = A
√ y intercept is b (x=0)
√ √ ( ) X intercept is (y=0)
√ √ √ The slope is
A A = Am+n
m n Quadratic Formula
The line with a perpendicular slope has an
√ opposite reciprocal of m:

√
Prime numbers Triangles
Can be divided only by 1 and themselves.
First ten primes: 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29
(O and 1 are not primes)
Perfect squares
Commonly used on the ACT:
112=121; 122=144; 132=169;
142=196; 152=225; 162=256; 252=625 Pythagorean Theory:
Irrational numbers Isosceles triangle: Equilateral triangle:
Cannot be written as a ratio of 3, 4, 5
two integers: Examples π, √2, √3, etc. 5, 12, 13
π*π= π2 (irrational); √2*√2=2 (rational!) 6, 8, 10
Imaginary Numbers 7, 24, 25
When squared, gives a negative result 8, 15, 17
