When dividing or multiplying inequalities, remember to…
Flip the sign
A^5 x b^6 > 0, how can we simplify?
Ignore b^6. A^5 > 0
Quadratic inequalities
Solve for x^3 - 4x < 0?
Get all variables on the left side < 0 and solve for x
Where X>1, what is the order of values?
1/x, 1, root x, x, x^2, x^3
Where X is b/w 0 and 1, what is the order of values?
0, x, 1, x^3, x^2, x, root x, 1, 1/x
To solve an inequality with a variable in the divisor…
Multiply by x squared so no negative number in bottom
What is the greatest common divisor of two consecutive numbers?
One
|A| = |B|
Simplify?
A = +/- B
|X-4| = 8
X - 4 = +/- 8
X = 12, -4
|ab| =?
|a| x |b|
|x| = a
–> inequality form?
-a < x < a
|a + b | < |a| + |b|, then?
Ab < 0
|a + b | = |a| + |b|l then?
Ab > or = to 0
|a-b| > 0 AND (a-b)^2 is <0, then…
A does not equal B
If |a-b| is < or = 0 and (a-b)^2 is < or = 0, then…
A = B
A ^ 2 + b ^ 2 = 0 AND / or |a| + |b| = 0 And / or Root A + Root B = 0,
Then
A = b = 0
|x-y| =?
|y-x|
Distance between two points on a number line
Square both sides, cancel like items and solve for X
|x| > or = to X
X < |x|, then x<0
X = |x|, then x > or = 0
Data Sufficiency Strategy
Triangle perimeter or angle questions have how many variables?
3
3 side lengths
2 lengths, 1 angle
1 length, 2 angles
Each set is 3 distinct equations for perimeter or area of triangle
Quadrilateral
DS variables?
Four sided figure
Likely 4
5 variables
Parallelogram
2 sets of parallel sides
Not necessarily same angles
3 variables
Likely E
Rectangle
4 90 degree angles
2 variables
Likely C
Rhombus
4 equal sides, not necessarily 90 degree angles
Likely C
2 variables
Square
4 equal sides, 90 degree angles
1 variable
Likely D
