Index Laws:
am ∙ an =am+n
am ÷ an = am-n
a0 = 1
(am)n =amn

To add or subtract fractions you need a common denominator:
a b a+ ¿−b
+¿− =
c c c
To find the common denominator in some equations, you need to do the following:
2b 3a
+
7 a+3 b 5 a+14 b
2b 3a
+
7 a+3 b 5 a+14 b
2b (5 a+14 b)+ 3 a(7 a+ 3 b)
(7 a+3 b)(5 a+ 14 b)

10 ab+28 b + 31a + 9 ab
2 2
35 a +42 b +98 ab+15 ab
2 2
10 ab+28 b +31 a +9 ab
2 2
35 a +42 b +113 ab
To multiply fractions you don’t need a common denominator
a b a×b
× =
c d cd
To divide fractions you do the following
a b a d ad
÷ = × =
c d c b cb
We use the inverse of the operation and an inverse of the second factor to find the denominator
Expanding and simplifying expressions
(x +2)(x+3) = x2+3x+2x+6
Identities:
(x+a)(x-a)=x2 – a2
(x+a)(x+a)=x2+2ax+a2
(x+a)2=x2+2ax+a2
(x-a)(x-a)=x2 – 2ax+a2
(x+a)(x+b)=x2+x(a+b)+ ab
Function machine:
For Example:
A=πr2
r2 πr2
r square xπ A
Reverse machine
A/π √A/π
A /π √ r
So r =
√ A

How to find the mean in a frequency table
Data Midpoint x Frequency f fx
500<d<510 500+510/2=505 2 505*2=1010
510<d<520 510+520/2=515 2 515*2=1030
520<d<530 525 2 525*2=1050
530<d<540 535 2 535*2=1070
540<d<550 545 2 545*2=1090
Total(t) 505+515+525+535+545=2625 10 5250
Mean = t fx/t f
Mean = 5250/10=525
To find the median
we use the following expression to find the position of the median:
t f ∨n+1

500<d<510 500+510/2=505 2 505*2=1010 2
510<d<520 510+520/2=515 2 515*2=1030 2+2=4
520<d<530 525 2 525*2=1050 4+2=6
530<d<540 535 2 535*2=1070 6+2=8
540<d<550 545 2 545*2=1090 8+2=10
Total(t) 505+515+525+535+545=2625 10 5250
Here
10+1 11
= =5.5 ≈6

So the 6th position: 520<d<530 is where the median lies.
Mode
Highest frequency
Range:
The highest value in all the classes – lowest value in all the classes

Quantitative data: numerical data (eg: hair length)
Qualitative data: data that is non-numerical (eg: hair color)
Sampling:
Steps for a Survey:
1. Ask a question
2. Collect data
3. Analyze data
4. Use results to answer question
This is called primary data or the data you collect yourself
- You become fairly confident as it is more reliable and accurate
- It can take a long time if you collect the data yourself
Secondary data is collected by someone who you know
- Someone has done the work for you
- You don’t know how reliable or honest it is
- There is a chance that it is biased or untrue
It is hard to pick what sample size to choose such as :
- A smaller sample size can be collected quickly but it is less reliable
- A larger size is more accurate but it takes longer and is more costly than a smaller sample
size.
Intenetional Bias:
- You might intentionally bias your sample data to make it look more positive
o It makes the advertising campaign more positive
Unintentional Bias:
- You might unintentionally bias your survey towards the majority of people
Pilot survey:
Ask only a few people to complete the survey and draft and refine a better survey than the
last.
Circles:
Area of a circle= πr2
Circumference= 2πr, πd,
d= 2r
r=
if circumference is given:
r=c/2π

Pythagoras theorem:
In the pythoagoras theorem, the sum of the length and base squared equals the hypothenus
squared in a right angled triangle.
√ l2 +b 2= h
Factors:
A factor of a number divides into that number without a remainder
BIDMAS with fractions and decimals
B – Brackets
