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
