Arithmetic- Arithmetic (from the Greek ἀριθμός arithmos, "number" and τική [τέχνη], tiké [téchne],
"art") is a branch of mathematics that consists of the study of numbers, especially the properties of the
traditional operations on them—addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is called an arithmetic series .
Sum of the terms arithmetic sequence- Sum of the First n Terms of an Arithmetic Sequence
Suppose a sequence of numbers is arithmetic (that is, it increases or decreases by a constant amount
each term), and you want to find the sum of the first n terms.
Sn=n(a1 + an)2 ,
where n is the number of terms, a1 is the first term and an is the last term.
where a is not zero and −a/d is not a natural number, or a finite sequence of the form
where a is not zero, k is a natural number and −a/d is not a natural number or is greater than k.
Geometry means
Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of
figures, and the properties of space. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a
geometer.
RemaInder theorem- The remainder theorem states that when a polynomial, f(x), is divided by a
linear polynomial , x - a, the remainder of that division will be equivalent to f(a).
Rational root theorem- rational root theorem (or rational root test, rational zero
theorem, rational zero test or p/q theorem) states a constraint on rational solutions of
a polynomial equation
with integer coefficients and . Solutions of the equation are also called roots or zeroes
of the polynomial on the left side.
The theorem states that each rational solution x = p/q, written in lowest terms so
that p and q are relatively prime, satisfies:
In this section we are going to either be given the list of zeroes or they will be
easy to find. In the next section we will go into a method for determining a
large portion of the list for most polynomials. We are graphing first since the
method for finding all the zeroes of a polynomial can be a little long and we
don’t want to obscure the details of this section in the mess of finding the
zeroes of the polynomial.
CentRal Angel & Arcs- A central angle is an angle formed by two radii with the vertex at the
center of the circle. In the diagram at the right, ∠AOB is a central angle with an intercepted
minor arc from A to B. ... An inscribed angle is an angle with its vertex "on" the circle, formed
by two intersecting chords.
Sum of Central Angles
Measure an arc by two methods: 1) the measure of the central angle or 2) the length of the arc itself.
The formula for finding arc length in radians is where r is the radius of the circle and θ is the
measure of the central angle in radians.
A comparison of degree and radian measure to find the arc length:
DegreesRadians
90° π/2
60° π/3
45° π/4
30° π/6
If we solve the proportion for arc length, and replace "arc measure"
with its equivalent "central angle", we can establish the formula:
Notice that arc length is a fractional part of the circumference. For example,
an arc measure of 60º is one-sixth of the circle (360º), so the length of that arc
will be one-sixth of the circumference of the circle.
The measure of a major arc is greater than 180°180° , and equal to 360°360° minus
the measure of the minor arc with the same endpoints.
An arc measuring exactly 180°180° is called a semicircle .
Two circles are congruent if they have the same size. The size can
be measured as the radius, diameter or circumference. They can overlap.
Congruent Arcs- If two arcs are both equal in measure and they're segments of congruent circles, then
they're congruent arcs.
