  1. Prime number
    A number that is only evenly divisible by two distinct values, one and the number itself

    Example: 1 is not this bc it has one factor, 2 is this
  2. Which number is in the ones place in 67.98
    7 is the ones place
  3. Which number is in the tens place 67.98
    6 is in the tens place
  4. Which number is in the tenths place 67.98
    9 is in the tenths place
  5. Which number is in the hundredths place 67.98
    8 is in the hundredths place
  6. Percent change formula
    New value - old value / Old value
  7. x^0 = ?
    1
  8. x^a • x^b = ?
    x^(a+b)
  9. x^a
    ______ = ?
    x^b
    X^(a-b)
  10. (x^a)^b = ?
    x^(a•b)
  11. x^(-a) = ?
    1 / x^a
  12. Linear equation: Standard form
    Ax + By = C
  13. Linear equation: slope-intercept form
    y = mx + b
  14. Linear equation: point-slope form
    (y - y1) = m(x - x1)
  15. Slope, m - rise over run
    m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
  16. Simple Interest formula
    I = p • r • t

    • I = total interest
    • p = initial amount
    • r = interest rate (decimal form)
    • t = # of years
  17. Compound Interest formula
    A = p( 1 + r/n )^n•t

    • A = future value
    • p = initial amount
    • r = interest rate as a decimal
    • n = # of times the interest is compounded per yr
    • t = # of years
  18. Polygon
    The combination of 3 or more lines to form a closed figure
  19. Formula for calculating the sum of the interior angles of a polygon, where n is the # of sides
    (n - 2) • 180 deg
  20. Area of a triangle
    A = 1/2bh
  21. Congruent figure means
    Same shape and same size
  22. Similar figure mean
    Same shape but not same size
  23. Area of a trapezoid
    A = 1/2 (b1 + b2)(h)
  24. Area for squares, rectangles, and parallelograms
    A = bh
  25. Circumference formula
    2 • pie • r
  26. Area of a circle
    A = pie • r^2
  27. Volume
    Amount of space enclosed in a 3D figure
  28. Volume of rectangular prism
    V = lwh
  29. Surface area of rectangular prism definition and formula
    The sum of the areas of each face

    A = 2(lw + lh + wh)
  30. Volume of circular cylinder
    V = πr^2h
  31. Surface area of circular cylinder
    A = 2πrh + 2πr^2
  32. Negative slope
    Goes down from left to right
  33. Positive slope
    Goes up left to right
  34. Distance rate time formula
    D = rt

    • D: Distance
    • R: rate
    • T: time
  35. Distance formula
    D = square root sign over (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2
