Line segment is AB with a line over it, the measure of the segment,
the length is a positive real number AB.
The angle with vertex A will be denoted by an angle symbol and the
letter A, while the measure of that angle will be m angle symbol A.
Parallel lines are two lines that do not intersect. This is important
when thinking about non-euclidean geometry.
or:
If a straight line falling on two straight lines makes the interior angles
on the same side less than two right angles, the two straight lines, if
produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which are the angles less
than the two right angles.
or:
If one draws a line m from the tip of a triangle that is parallel to the
base, the measure of the angle formed by the tip of the triangle, plus
the other two angles formed by line m add up to 180° (supplementary
angles). Because of AIAC, the other two angles of the triangle are both
congruent to the other two angles formed by m, therefore the three
angles of the triangle must add up to 180°.
Side Angle Side, Side Side Side, Angle Angle Side, Angle Side Angle,
Hypotenuse Leg are the congruence theorems
Similarity Theorems: Angle Angle (AA), side side side (lower case), and
side Angle side (Lowercase sides).
The medians of a triangle form the centroid, the centroid lies 2/3 of the
distance along each median from its vertex end
Law of sines: sinA over side a = sinB over side b = sinC over side c
1/2 B • h

Elipse:
A point P lies on an elipse if the sum of the distances from P to the
foci is a constant. P•F1 + P•F2 has to be a constant
The foci always lie on the major axis. Distance from F1 to P + Distance
from F2 to P = 2*(the length of the major radius)
For a vertical line, its absolute value of the y-coord minus the equation
for the line y=
for horizontal is absolute value of the x-coordinate minus the
equation for the line x=
example, for a horizontal line with equation y= -2, the distance to point
(4, 5) is 5 - -2 = 7. Abs. value of 7 is seven.
A vertical line with equation x = 6 , the distance to point (4,5) is 4 - 6 =
-2, absolute value of -2 = 2.
To find the equation of an elipse given the two foci and the sum of the
distances of the two foci
Given the two foci and a point, use the sum of the distances from the
point to each focus to find your constant
CARTESIAN COORDINATES
R = SQRT(X^2) + SQRT(Y^2)

A line lies in a plane if every point on the line is also a point in the
plane.
a line L is perpendicular to a plane P if L intersects P at one point A
and if line L is perpendicular to any line through point A that lies in
plane P
If two planes are parellel they do not intersect. Two planes are parallel
also if they are both perpendicular to the same line Two planes are
perpendicular if they intersect at a right angle.
In 3d space, two lines are Skew if they do not intersect and there is no
plane containing both of them. If two lines are on the same plane and
they do not intersect, they are parallel.
Skew lines cannot intersect because they lie on parallel planes, which
do not intersect
VOLUME FORMULAS:
Prism: B (Area of the base) * height (height is not necessarily one of
the other side lengths.
or cross section * depth
Pyramid: 1/3 B * h
Cylinder: B*h (base is π*r^2)
Cone : 1/3 B * h
Spehere 4/3 π * r^3
SURFACE AREAs: Typically just all sides. For cylinders and cones, you
have to imagine “unwrapping” the shape to make a flat measurable
amount. A cone unwraps to make a half-circle, which is why its
surface area is π * r^2 (base area) + π * r * (slant heigth) , because the
circumfrence of a circle is 2π r , and we are using half of the
circumference to make up the base of the cone part, and the slant
height as the height of the cone part.
A cylinder is similar but the circumference is a whole circle, so you
just need to use 2π*r as the circumference and the height as the
height., remembering that the top and the bottom need to be included.
sA of a sphere is 4π*r
cylinder is 2π*r^2 + 2π*r*h
cone is π*r^2 + π*r*[slant height]
cavalieris principle - shapes can be slanted and still have the exact
same volume. Imagine a stack of quarters with a slant. Each cross
section still has the same volume as the last, so each part of the
shape has the same base
matrix 1, column one row 1 times matrix 2 row one plus matrix 1
column 2 row 1 times matrix two row 2], etc.
To describe a rotation, you need to state the vertex points, the angle of
rotation and the center of the rotation
To describe a translation, you need to state the vertices, the direction
and distance
To describe a reflection, you have to state the vertices and the line of
reflection
WHen choosing two different categories out of one set and trying to
find a total number of choices, you need to multiply each combinatoric
by the next because each result from the first set can be repeated for
each result of the second set. imagine the result you get from the first
set is 10, and the result from the next one is 5. There are ten ways to
get result A by itself. You can do all of that and then get one of the
results from category B and that will be 10, but if you consider all of
the possibilities for result A and then the next result from category B,
that will include all 10 results from category A again
Any time you are trying to find a finite probability, always think in
terms of what is the total number of outcomes. Think exponents, for 4
coin flips, there are two possibilities for each flip, giving you 2x2x2x2
as your sample space
When dealing with large number probabilities, first find the total
number of outcomes, then remember that your first choice will be all of
the possibilities, your second choice will be all but one of the
possibilities, third all but 2, etc.
for example, four houses each have a garage door opener with 4096
different combos possible. What are the odds that at least 2 have the
same combo.
total number of outcomes is 4096^4, but the probability that NONE
will be the same is 4096*4095*4094*4093, because each time tjeres
another code that is not an option.
MEDIAN : if there are an even number of values in the data set, you
hav e to take the average of the middle two - that is your median
QUARTILES: The first quartile is the median of the set of data points
that are less than the original median. The third quartile is the median
of the set of data points that are bigger than the original median.
IQR - interquartile range - the RANGE between the first and third
quartiles. use this to find outliers. An outlier is any data set that lies
more than 1.5 IQR above the third quartile or 1.5 IQR below the first
quartile.
Variance: the measure of how spread out your data is. the summation
of the probability of each element times the difference of the original
value and the mean value squared.
summation of : [(the probability of x) * (x minus the mean)^2 for each
data point
Standard deviation is the square root of the variance
When finding values for discreet random variables, use the binomial
probability to find values for each random variable
Dot plot: for discreet data, each dot represents the frequency of the
element
Histogram: Better for larger sets of data b/c the numbers can be put
into groups, unlike a dot or bar graph, where each “bin” or “bucket”
contains one data element.
Stem and leaf: another method similar, where the first digit is listed
and the smaller place values are identified in the list
STEM: LEAF VALUES REPRESENTED
1 1 2 5 11, 12, 15
2 0 2 20, 22
3 3 3 5 33, 33, 35
For one variable data sets, the mean is the best predictor of any
unknown data element
So the “line of best fit” for one variable data would be a horizontal line
across the mean value of our data set
LINE OF BEST FIT: REGRESSION LINE: Always find the mean of the x
values and the y values. This point will always fall on the regression
line
once you find the slope, you can plug in the two average points and
find the intercept
If you need to find the expected count, take the row total times the
column total and divide by the table total. Sometimes the expected
count will be given to you.
once you have the statistic and the degrees of freedom, you can look
up the p-value on a table. a high p-value means that the likelihood of
getting the results at random is high, and you can assume the null
hypothesis is true. A low p-value means that the likelihood of getting
data randomly is true and you have reason to question the null
hypothesis.
Confidence Interval:
The probability that the sample will include the population mean. A
95% confidence interval means that in 95% of cases, the sample
selected will include the population mean. It doesn’t say anything
more about hte mean in particular.
A larger confidence interval means that there will be a larger range of
results, so your data will be less precise, but more likely to contain the
population mean. A smaller confidence interval will give more precise
data with a higher likelihood that the sample mean lies outside of the
interval.
To narrow the range of the interval but maintain a higher confidence
interval, increase the sample size.
Probabilty:
When using the conditional probability formula, P(A | B) = P(A N B)/
P(B) - do not assume independence. P(a N b) does not equal P(A) *
P(B) if the two are not independent.
Outliers have more effect on the mean of the sample than they do on
the median
to find z-score, find the relative distance between the data point and
the mean, and divide by the standard deviation.
or
through any point P not on a line L lies one line m that is parallel to
line L
Euclids fifth follows from the Alternate interior angle theorem because
you can use substitution to compare the complimentary angles . If the
alternate interior angles aren’t congruent, the lines will not be parallel,
and the sum of the angles will be less than 180, necessitating another
angle to make a triangle
Alternate Exterior Angle Theorem states that the alternate angles “on
top and “on bottom” of the parallel lines will be congruent. Prove using
substitution
The medians bisect a SIDE from its opposite angle. They do not
necessarily make right angles, and they join together at the centroid.
The centroid will always have a 2:3 ratio on each median. The centroid
will always lie within the triangle.
The angle bisectors form the incenter, you can always draw a circle
inside the triangle using the incenter
When finding the equation for a parabola, the distance to the directrix
is absolute value, NOT a square or a root, so if focus is (1, 4) and
directrix is x=3, then the formula to find the equation would be sqrt ((x-
1)^2+(y-4)^2) = |x-3| Since we will be squaring both sides in order to
solve, the absolute value sign is inconsequential.
Two shapes are congruent in the coordinate system if one shape can
be translated w/ isometries to the other shape
Permutations will yield larger number of results than Combinations
nPk = (n)!/(n-k)!
Combinations have to compensate for overcounting, since A A B is the
same as A B A
so nCk = n! / k! (n-k)!
, same as permutations, except we are also factoring out the total
number of ways to k can be ranked, which is k! (since they would be
overcounted otherwise)
Expected value is just the value for each element multiplied by the
probability for that element to occur.
Remember that when figuring out Ex.value for “more than” or “less
than”, you may need to find mutliple expected values and sum them
One more time,( the summation of x-xbar times y-ybar) divided by the
summation of x-xbar squared
give you the slope of the line, then just use x-bar and ybar as your x& y
points and solve for b
Confidence interval is how confident you are that your data is within a
certain range of numbers. A higher confidence interval will yield less
precise statistics, b/c you can be more sure you are encapsulating the
true correct value.
