What are real numbers?
Real numbers are all numbers that can be placed on a number line.
They include:
Real Numbers = Rational + Irrational
Key Properties:
✓ Closure: Sum of two reals = real number ✓ Commutative: a + b = b + a ✓ Associative: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) ✓ Identity: a + 0 = a (additive identity) ✓ Inverse: a + (−a) = 0 (additive inverse) ✓ Distributive: a(b + c) = ab + ac
Example Problem: Identify: Is 0.5 rational or irrational?
Solution: 0.5 = 5/10 = 1/2 (can be written as fraction) Answer: Rational
What is a logarithm?
A logarithm is the reverse of exponentiation.
If 2³ = 8, then log₂(8) = 3
In simple words:
Definition: If a^x = b, then log_a(b) = x
Where:
Common Logarithms:
Important Log Rules:
Product Rule: log(xy) = log(x) + log(y)
Quotient Rule: log(x/y) = log(x) − log(y)
Power Rule: log(x^n) = n·log(x)
Change of Base: log_a(x) = log_b(x) / log_b(a)
Worked Example:
Solve: log₂(x) = 3
Step 1: Convert to exponential form
2³ = x
Step 2: Calculate
x = 8
Answer: x = 8
Verification: log₂(8) = 3 ✓
What is a set?
A set is a collection of well-defined objects.
Example: A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} Example: B = {all vowels} = {a, e, i, o, u}
Important Note: Order doesn't matter. {1, 2, 3} = {3, 2, 1}
Types of Sets:
| Type | Definition | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Finite Set | Limited number of elements | {1, 2, 3, 4} |
| Infinite Set | Unlimited elements | Natural numbers ℕ |
| Empty Set (∅) | No elements | {} |
| Universal Set | Contains all elements | All numbers |
| Subset | All elements of A in B | A ⊆ B |
| Equal Sets | Same elements | {1, 2} = {2, 1} |
Set Operations:
Union (A ∪ B) = All elements in A or B or both
Intersection (A ∩ B) = Only common elements
Difference (A − B) = Elements in A but not in B
Complement (A') = Elements NOT in A
What is a Function?
A function is a relationship between inputs and outputs.
Definition: Every input has exactly one output.
Example: f(x) = 2x + 1
Domain and Range:
Example: f(x) = x² where x ∈ {−2, −1, 0, 1, 2}
What is factorization?
Factorization is breaking an expression into smaller parts that multiply together.
Example: x² − 4 = (x + 2)(x − 2)
Method 1: Common Factor (GCF)
Example: Factor 3x² + 6x
Step 1: Find greatest common factor
GCF = 3x
Step 2: Divide each term by GCF
3x²/3x = x
6x/3x = 2
Step 3: Write as factors
3x(x + 2)
Method 2: Difference of Squares
Pattern: a² − b² = (a + b)(a − b)
Example: Factor x² − 9
Step 1: Recognize as difference of squares
x² − 9 = x² − 3²
Step 2: Apply formula
(x + 3)(x − 3)
Method 3: Quadratic Trinomial
Example: Factor x² + 5x + 6
Step 1: Find two numbers that:
- Multiply to 6 (constant term)
- Add to 5 (coefficient of x)
Numbers: 2 and 3
Step 2: Write as factors
(x + 2)(x + 3)
Verification: (x+2)(x+3) = x² + 3x + 2x + 6 = x² + 5x + 6 ✓
Method 4: Perfect Square Trinomial
Pattern: a² + 2ab + b² = (a + b)² Pattern: a² − 2ab + b² = (a − b)²
Example: Factor x² + 6x + 9
This is (x)² + 2(x)(3) + (3)²
Using pattern: (x + 3)²
What is a linear equation?
An equation with variable only to the first power.
Form: ax + b = c
How to Solve:
Example 1: Solve 2x − 3 = 7
Step 1: Add 3 to both sides
2x − 3 + 3 = 7 + 3
2x = 10
Step 2: Divide by 2
x = 5
Check: 2(5) − 3 = 10 − 3 = 7 ✓
What is a linear inequality?
Similar to equation but with <, >, ≤, or ≥ instead of =
Example: Solve 3x + 2 < 8
Step 1: Subtract 2 from both sides
3x < 6
Step 2: Divide by 3
x < 2
Solution: All numbers less than 2
Number line: ←——○ (open circle at 2)
Important Rule: When multiplying/dividing by negative number, flip the inequality sign.
Example: Solve −2x > 4
Step 1: Divide by −2 (flip sign!)
x < −2
System of Linear Equations:
Example: Solve:
Method: Elimination
Add equations (1) + (2):
2x + y + x − y = 5 + 1
3x = 6
x = 2
Substitute in (2):
2 − y = 1
y = 1
Answer: x = 2, y = 1
What is trigonometry?
Study of relationships between triangle sides and angles.
Trigonometric Ratios:
In a right triangle with angle θ:
/|
/ |
hyp / | opposite
/ |
/θ |
/______|
adjacent
Three Basic Ratios:
Memory Trick: SOH-CAH-TOA
Standard Values (Must Memorize):
| Angle | 0° | 30° | 45° | 60° | 90° |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| sin | 0 | 1/2 | 1/√2 | √3/2 | 1 |
| cos | 1 | √3/2 | 1/√2 | 1/2 | 0 |
| tan | 0 | 1/√3 | 1 | √3 | ∞ |
Trigonometric Identities:
✓ sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 ✓ tan θ = sin θ / cos θ ✓ sin(90° − θ) = cos θ ✓ cos(90° − θ) = sin θ
Worked Example:
In right triangle ABC, angle B = 90°, AB = 3, AC = 5. Find sin A and cos A.
Step 1: Find BC using Pythagoras
AC² = AB² + BC²
5² = 3² + BC²
25 = 9 + BC²
BC = 4
Step 2: From angle A's perspective
- Opposite = BC = 4
- Hypotenuse = AC = 5
sin A = 4/5
cos A = 3/5
What is coordinate geometry?
Study of geometric shapes using coordinates (x, y).
Cartesian Coordinate System:
Two perpendicular lines:
Distance Formula:
Distance between points P(x₁, y₁) and Q(x₂, y₂):
d = √[(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²]
Example: Find distance between A(1, 2) and B(4, 6)
d = √[(4 − 1)² + (6 − 2)²]
d = √[3² + 4²]
d = √[9 + 16]
d = √25
d = 5
Slope of a Line:
Slope (m) = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁)
Tells us how steep the line is.
Example: Find slope between (1, 2) and (3, 6)
m = (6 − 2) / (3 − 1)
m = 4 / 2
m = 2
Equation of a Line:
Point-slope form: y − y₁ = m(x − x₁) Slope-intercept form: y = mx + c
Where m = slope, c = y-intercept
Example: Find equation with slope 2 passing through (1, 3)
Using: y − 3 = 2(x − 1)
y − 3 = 2x − 2
y = 2x + 1
What is logic?
Logic is the study of valid reasoning.
Logical Statements:
A statement is a sentence that is either true or false.
Example: "2 + 2 = 4" (True statement) Example: "3 > 5" (False statement) Not a statement: "Is it raining?" (Question, not true/false)
Logical Operators:
NOT (¬) - Negation
AND (∧) - Both must be true
OR (∨) - At least one is true
IMPLIES (→) - If then
Truth Table Example:
For p AND q:
| p | q | p ∧ q |
|---|---|---|
| T | T | T |
| T | F | F |
| F | T | F |
| F | F | F |
What is similarity?
Two figures are similar if they have the same shape but different sizes.
Properties of Similar Figures:
✓ Corresponding angles are equal ✓ Corresponding sides are proportional ✓ Same shape, different size
Similar Triangles:
Triangles ABC and DEF are similar if:
Scale Factor:
The ratio of corresponding sides.
Example: If AB/DE = 2, scale factor = 2
Using Similar Triangles:
Similar triangles help us find unknown lengths without measuring.
Example: Two similar triangles. First triangle has sides 3 and 4. Second has corresponding side 6. Find the other side.
Scale factor = 6/3 = 2
Other side = 4 × 2 = 8
What is the graph of a function?
A visual representation of how function behaves.
Linear Function Graph:
f(x) = mx + c creates a straight line
Example: Graph f(x) = 2x + 1
Create table:
x | f(x)
-1| -1
0 | 1
1 | 3
2 | 5
Plot points and connect = straight line
Slope = 2 (rises 2 units for every 1 right)
Quadratic Function Graph:
f(x) = ax² + bx + c creates a parabola (U or ∩ shape)
Example: f(x) = x²
Reading Graphs:
From a graph, you can find:
What is a locus?
A set of all points satisfying a condition.
Common Loci:
Geometric Constructions:
Using compass and straightedge only.
Construction 1: Perpendicular Bisector
To find the midpoint of a line segment:
1. Place compass at one endpoint
2. Draw arc above and below line
3. Repeat from other endpoint
4. Connect intersection points
Construction 2: Angle Bisector
To divide an angle into two equal parts:
1. Draw arcs on both sides of angle
2. From arc intersections, draw two more arcs
3. Connect vertex to intersection point
What is information handling?
Collecting, organizing, and analyzing data.
Measures of Central Tendency:
Mean (Average): Mean = Sum of all values / Number of values
Example: {2, 4, 6, 8} → Mean = (2+4+6+8)/4 = 5
Median (Middle Value): Arrange in order, find middle value
Example: {2, 4, 6, 8, 10} → Median = 6 Example: {2, 4, 6, 8} → Median = (4+6)/2 = 5
Mode (Most Frequent): Value that appears most often
Example: {2, 4, 4, 6, 8} → Mode = 4
Frequency Distribution:
Organizing data into classes with frequencies.
Example:
| Score | Frequency |
|---|---|
| 0-10 | 5 |
| 10-20 | 8 |
| 20-30 | 12 |
Standard Deviation:
Measures how spread out data is.
What is probability?
Measurement of how likely an event is to happen.
Range: 0 to 1 (0% to 100%)
Basic Probability Formula:
P(Event) = Number of Favorable Outcomes / Total Possible Outcomes
Example 1: Probability of rolling a 3 on a die
Favorable outcomes = 1 (just the 3)
Total outcomes = 6 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
P(3) = 1/6 ≈ 0.167 or 16.7%
Example 2: Probability of picking a red ball from 3 red and 2 blue
Favorable outcomes = 3 (red balls)
Total outcomes = 5 (all balls)
P(red) = 3/5 = 0.6 or 60%
Theoretical vs Experimental:
Theoretical: What should happen (calculated) Experimental: What actually happened (observed)
Example: Flip coin 100 times
Combined Events:
P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B) for independent events
Example: Probability of getting heads twice: P(H and H) = 0.5 × 0.5 = 0.25

= 5
Problem: If sin θ = 3/5 and θ is in first quadrant, find cos θ
Solution:
Using: sin²θ + cos²θ = 1
(3/5)² + cos²θ = 1
9/25 + cos²θ = 1
cos²θ = 16/25
cos θ = 4/5 (positive in first quadrant)
Problem: What's probability of getting at least one head when flipping coin twice?
Solution:
Possible outcomes: HH, HT, TH, TT (4 total)
Favorable outcomes: HH, HT, TH (3 outcomes)
P(at least one H) = 3/4
Alternative: P(at least one H) = 1 − P(no H)
= 1 − P(TT)
= 1 − 1/4
= 3/4
