Correct Answer: 1) You have to take a position on the topic (and defend it), but you also have to 2) evaluate not just the opposing perspective but all of the 3 perspectives in the boxes 3) Finally, and this is the most novel part, you have to discuss the relationship between the perspectives. Find a slope with two points Correct Answer: (y2−y1)/ (x2−x1) What do the variables stand for in y=mx + b? How do you find the x and y intercept? Correct Answer: M is the slope, b is the y-intercept (when x is 0) To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve What is an integer? Correct Answer: A WHOLE number (not a fraction or decimal!) that can be positive or negative Midpoint formula Correct Answer: Distance formula between two points Correct Answer: How many questions on the math section will typically involve logarithms? Correct Answer: 1-2 Rewrite log (b) x = y Correct Answer: log (b) xy = Correct Answer: Average speed Correct Answer: Probability of an outcome Correct Answer: Probability of two, mutually exclusive, outcomes both happening is Correct Answer: Combinations Correct Answer: The possible amount of different combinations of a number of different elements (order doesn't matter) number of element A * number of element B * number of element C.... Volume of a rectangular solid Correct Answer: l x w x h Area of a parallelogram How do you find the height if not given? Correct Answer: A = b x h Pythagorean theorem Isosceles triangle (sides and angles) Correct Answer: 30, 60, 90 degree triangle Correct Answer: Area of a trapezoid Correct Answer: Often, you are given enough information to drop down two 90 angles to make a rectangle and two right triangles. You'll need this for the height anyway, so you can simply find the areas of each triangle and add it to the area of the rectangle, if you would rather not memorize the trapezoid formula Area of a circle Correct Answer: Area of an arc Correct Answer: Circumference of a circle (2 formulas) Correct Answer: Circumference of an arc Correct Answer: Equation of a circle Correct Answer: Given a radius and a center point of a circle (h, k) Volume of a cylinder Correct Answer: SOH CAH TOA triangle Correct Answer: Cosecant Correct Answer: Secant Correct Answer: Cotangent Correct Answer: nth term of an arithmatic sequence Correct Answer: nth term of a geometric sequence Correct Answer: x^(a+b) Correct Answer: x^(a-b) Correct Answer: x^(a x b) Correct Answer: (xy)^a Correct Answer: radical(xy) Correct Answer: n (in terms of logb) Correct Answer: i^0 i^1 i^2 i^4 (the pattern repeats after that) Correct Answer: = 1 = i = -1 = -i Parallel lines have ____ slopes Perpendicular lines have ____ slopes Correct Answer: equal neg. reciprocal intersecting lines Correct Answer: opposite angles are equal Angles on the inside of any triangle add up to Correct Answer: 180 The length of one side of any triangle is always _______ the sum and ________ the difference of the lengths of the other two sides. Correct Answer: LESS THAN the sum GREATER THAN the difference Similar triangles Correct Answer: Two or more triangles are similar if they have the same shape. The corresponding angles are equal, and the corresponding sides are in proportion To convert from degrees to radians, just multiply by Correct Answer: Distance = Correct Answer: rate x time Reflection of a graph Correct Answer: The graph is "mirrored" along a "mirror line" Reflections: When the mirror line is the x-axis we change each (x,y) into Correct Answer: (x,−y) Reflections: When the mirror line is the y-axis we change each (x,y) into Correct Answer: (−x,y) Transformations of y = a(x - h)^2 + k (a) Correct Answer: As a gets larger, the graph shrinks As a gets smaller, the graph widens Transformations of y = a(x - h)^2 + k (h) Correct Answer: If h is positive (x - 3), shift 3 to the right If h is negative (x + 3), shift 3 to the left Transformations of y = a(x - h)^2 + k (k) Correct Answer: If k is positive (x - h) + 4, shift 4 up If h is negative (x - h) - 4, shift 4 down Radical (5/4) ^ 3 Correct Answer: 5/4 ^ 3/2 Convert 11/4 to a mixed fraction Correct Answer: Divide 11 by 4. This equals 2 with a remainder of 3. Therefore, the mixed fraction is 2 3/4 Convert 3 2/5 to an improper fraction Correct Answer: Sum of an arithmetic series Correct Answer: Sum of a finite geometric series Correct Answer: Direct proportion equation Correct Answer: y = kx Inverse proportion equation Correct Answer: y = k/x Line segment Correct Answer: Has a starting point and an ending point Line Correct Answer: has no start/end Ray Correct Answer: Has one start point and no end point Cell organelles Correct Answer: Parts of cells Plant and animal cells both contain Correct Answer: nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Both also contain similar membranes, cytosol, and cytoskeletal elements Lysosomes Correct Answer: hold enzymes. Lysosomes digest food or break down the cell when it dies Mitochondria Correct Answer: act like a digestive system, which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules (ATP) for the ANIMAL cell Eukaryotic cells Correct Answer: is any organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other organelles enclosed within membranes (as opposed to cells like bacteria that are prokaryotic) cell nucleus Correct Answer: acts like the brain of the cell. It contains the cell's DNA, or the genetic information from which proteins are made. It also helps control eating, movement, and reproduction Chloroplasts Correct Answer: only exist in plant cells and assist in the process of photosynthesis, converting light into energy (which only plants do, not animals) Cell membrane Correct Answer: holds all of the pieces of the cell and serves as the barrier between the cell and other cells DNA contains the genetic information needed for making Correct Answer: proteins (protein synthesis) Protein synthesis involves (4) Correct Answer: DNA, RNA, ribosomes and proteins Messenger RNA (known as mRNA) makes Correct Answer: a copy of the sequence of DNA of a specific gene When Messenger RNA (known as mRNA) makes a copy of the sequence of DNA of a specific gene, this process is known as _____ and happens in the _____ Correct Answer: transcription and happens in the nucleus Ribosomes Correct Answer: _________ use mRNA as a guide to make protein of the same amino acid sequence as the original DNA The process of producing protein from the mRNA is referred to as Correct Answer: Translation So, the process of protein synthesis consists of two steps: Correct Answer: DNA to mRNA transcription and mRNA to protein translation The basic sugar molecule structure is Correct Answer: C6H12O6 Fats are made up of Correct Answer: C (Carbon), H (Hydrogen), and O (Oxygen) Fats. v sugar Correct Answer: Fats have nearly twice the number of H as C and a very small number of O. Fats are much bigger in size than sugar Proteins are composed of Correct Answer: amino acids all proteins contain Correct Answer: C, H, O and N (Nitrogen Nucleic acid (def. and 2 examples) Correct Answer: biomolecules - DNA and RNA Nucleic acids are made up of 3 parts: Correct Answer: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base Nucleic acids are different from Sugar, Fat, and Proteins because they Correct Answer: are made up of P (Phosphorus) and N in addition to C, H, and O Water freeze and boil temp (C) Correct Answer: 0, 100 A pH scale is a measure of Correct Answer: how acidic or basic a substance is
