Graphs

Read the graph first

type of graph --> line, bar, table, scatterplot
type of relationship --> linear, exponential, logarithmic, quadratic
axis labels
slope, y-int
additional info
what is graph showing (like making a passage map but for math)
Question
CIRCLE what the question is asking
underline relevant details
star, underline units
Solving
take a sec --> think fastest way to appr. prob.
solve for what question is asking
x + 2y; r/s; p-q;
90% problem set up so we can solve this way
manipulate eqs. that way

Check
Am I solving for what question asking?
Am I solving for the right units?
plug it in --> see if correct
ic, quadratic

ut for math)

ONLY IF TIME PERMITS!!!!

 NOTES
manipulating
Solve for an multiplication DO whatever is faster
expression instead
the variables one by addition If you can't find a way, then just solve fo
one reciprocals

Plug in
graphs
avoid 0,1 find out equations from graph --> eliminate then plug in
finding solution to systems (x,y)
find just the x or y
ask quotients
timely to make eqs.

Stats
Standard dev
spread of set around the mean
Standard Deviation ∝ Spread
Change the most Mean
ELiMiNATE increase each value by x --> increase mean by x
Calculate multiply each value by x --> multiple mean by x
Median
affected only if unequal amnt taken form both sides
frequency of data sets also importat
total/2 --> find # va
always ARRANGE in ascending ORDER
Range
severely impacted only if increase/decrease first or last value
Mode
none or 1+
[0, 3, 4] vs. [0,0,0,3,3,3,4] vs. [0,0,3,3,4,4]
Probability
in decimal unless specified
Always consider multiple cases
I. Determine num. and denom. II. Probability
 Linear equations
Slope
rate of change
change in y/change in x
Can use for problems where demand difference of
just calculate difference and multiple tim

⊥ m --> opposite reciprocals.

Systems
Solving
if ask for ax + by, elimination
solve for that via when calc. supplied
elimination easy to handle #s
substition
when both variables isolated

II. Probability
s where demand difference of two values.
ate difference and multiple times slope
much more did it cost louisa to pay the gardener than laura if the gardener worked 3 hours more at louisa's house.
pany sells hospital supplies for $30.00/box and has a flat fee of $50.00. It lowers it fee to to $20.00 due to increased
demand. How much less will it cost the comp. assuming similar demand.

Ratios
two or more quantities
combine together
units
USE RATIOS VVVVIMPORTANT

h variables isolated attacking problems

A to B? A to total? determine what two things we are comparing

tricks
use quantity that stays the same despite new ratio

re the lines intersect

think red, blue, block problem --> OG 155 red, 88
m y-int red --> new ratio red to total --> 3/5, find block
same diff
diff diff
same same Percents
parabolas, cubics part/whole *100

|(original-new)/original|

vs. noninclusive
greatest or smallest values (see if include line or not)
--> flip the sign
t when ask for greatest or smallest value of something.
