ATI TEAS 7 Math Formulas

Rounding

Putting a number up or down to the nearest whole number or the nearest hundred, etc. 
Example: 64 rounded to the nearest ten is 60 because 64 is closer to 60 than to 70.

Whole Number

The numbers ( {0,1,2,3,…} )

Estimates

Find a number close to the exact answer.

Decimals

Is a fraction written in a special form? For example, instead of writing (frac{1}{2}) you can write (0.5).

Mixed Numbers

A number is composed of a whole number and a fraction. Example: (2 frac{2}{ 3}) Converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers: (a frac{c}{b}=a+frac{c}{b}= frac{ab+ c}{b})

Factoring Numbers

Factor a number means breaking it up into numbers that can be multiplied together to get the original number. Example:(12=2×2×3)

Divisibility Rules

Divisibility means that you are able to divide a number evenly. Example: 24 is divisible by 6, because (24÷6=4)

Greatest Common Factor

Multiply common prime factors
Example:( 200=2×2×2×5×5 60=2×2×3×5)
GCF ((200,60)=2×2×5=20)

Least Common Multiple

Check multiples of the largest number
Example: LCM (200, 60): 200 (no), 400 (no), 600 (yes!)

Integers

( {…,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,…} )
Includes: zero, counting numbers, and the negative of the counting numbers

Real Numbers

All numbers that are on a number line. Integers plus fractions, decimals, and irrationals, etc.) ((sqrt{2},sqrt{3},π), etc.)

Order of Operations

PEMDAS
(parentheses/ exponents/ multiply/ divide/ add/ subtract)

Absolute Value

Refers to the distance of a number from, the distances are positive as the absolute value of a number cannot be negative. (|-22|=22)
or (|x| = x for x ≥ 0, and |x| = −x for x < 0)
(|x|<n⇒-n<x<n)
(|x|>n⇒x<-n or x>n)

Ratios

A ratio is a comparison of two numbers by division.
Example: (3: 5), or (frac{3}{5})

Percentages

Use the following formula to find part, whole, or percent
part (=frac{percent}{100}×whole)

Proportional Ratios

A proportion means that two ratios are equal. It can be written in two ways:
(frac{a}{b}=frac{c}{d}), (a: b = c: d )

Percent of Change

(frac{New Value – Old Value}{Old Value}×100%)

Markup

Markup (=) selling price (-) cost
Markup rate (=) markup divided by the cost

Discount

Multiply the regular price by the rate of discount
Selling price (=) original price (-) discount

Expressions and Variables

A variable is a letter that represents unspecified numbers. One may use a variable in the same manner as all other numbers: Addition: (2+a): (2) plus a
Subtraction: (y-3): (y) minus (3)
Division: (frac{4}{x}): 4 divided by x
Multiplication: (5a): (5) times a

Tax

Distributive Property

Polynomial

Systems of Equations

Two or more equations working together.
example: ( begin{cases}-2x+2y=4\-2x+y=3end{cases} )

Equations

The values of the two mathematical expressions are equal.
(ax+b=c)

Functions

A function is a rule to go from one number (x) to another number (y), usually written (y=f(x)). For any given value of x, there can only be one corresponding value y. If (y=kx) for some number k (example: (f(x)= 0.5 x)), then y is said to be directly proportional to x. If y(=frac{k}{x }) (example: f(x (=frac{5}{x})), then y is said to be inversely proportional to x. The graph of (y=f(x-h)+k) is the translation of the graph of (y=f(x)) by ((h,k)) units in the plane. For example, (y=f(x+3)) shifts the graph of (f(x)) by 3 units to the left.

Inequalities

Says that two values are not equal
(a≠b) a not equal to b
(a<b) a less than b
(a>b) a greater than b
(a≥b) a greater than or equal b
(a≤b) a less than or equal b

Solving Systems of Equations by Elimination

Example: (cfrac{begin{align} x+2y =6 \ + -x+y=3 end{align}}{})
(cfrac{ begin{align} 3y=9 \ y=3 end{align} }{begin{align} x+6=6 \ ⇒ x=0 end{align}} )

Lines (Linear Functions)

Consider the line that goes through points (A(x_{1},y_{1}) ) and (B(x_{2},y_{2})).

Distance from A to B:

(sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{2})^2+(y_{1}-y_{2})^2 })

Parallel and Perpendicular lines:

Have equal slopes. Perpendicular lines (i.e., those that make a (90^° ) angle where they intersect) have negative reciprocal slopes: (m_{1}).(m_{2}=-1).
Parallel Lines (l (parallel) m)

Mid-point of the segment AB:

M ((frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}, frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}))

Slope of the line:

(frac{y_{2}- y_{1}}{x_{2} – x_{1} }=frac{rise}{run})

Point-slope form:

Given the slope m and a point ((x_{1},y_{1})) on the line, the equation of the line is
((y-y_{1})=m (x-x_{1})).

Intersecting lines:

Opposite angles are equal. Also, each pair of angles along the same line add to (180^°). In the figure above, (a+b=180^°).

Slope-intercept form:

given the slope m and the y-intercept b, then the equation of the line is:
(y=mx+b).

Transversal: Parallel lines:

Eight angles are formed when a line crosses two parallel lines. The four big angles (a) are equal, and the four small angles (b) are equal.

Parabolas:

A parabola parallel to the y-axis is given by (y=ax^2+bx+c).
If (a>0), the parabola opens up.
If (a<0), the parabola opens down. The y-intercept is c, and the x-coordinate of the vertex is: (x=-frac{b}{2a}).

Factoring:

“FOIL”
((x+a)(x+b))
(=x^2+(b+a)x +ab) “Difference of Squares”
(a^2-b^2= (a+b)(a-b))
(a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)(a+b) )
(a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)(a-b)) “Reverse FOIL”
(x^2+(b+a)x+ab=) ((x+a)(x+b))

You can use Reverse FOIL to factor a polynomial by thinking about two numbers a and b which add to the number in front of the x, and which multiply to give the constant. For example, to factor (x^2+5x+6), the numbers add to 5 and multiply to 6, i.e.: (a=2) and (b=3), so that (x^2+5x+6=(x+2)(x+3)). To solve a quadratic such as (x^2+bx+c=0), first factor the left side to get ((x+a)(x+b)=0), then set each part in parentheses equal to zero. For example, (x^2+4x+3= (x+3)(x+1)=0) so that (x=-3) or (x=-1).
To solve two linear equations in x and y: use the first equation to substitute for a variable in the second. E.g., suppose (x+y=3) and (4x-y=2). The first equation gives y=3-x, so the second equation becomes (4x-(3-x)=2 ⇒ 5x-3=2) (⇒ x=1,y=2).

Exponents:

Refers to the number of times a number is multiplied by itself.
(8 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 2^3)

Scientific Notation:

It is a way of expressing numbers that are too big or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form.
In scientific notation all numbers are written in this form: (m times 10^n)
Decimal notation:
5
(-25,000)
0.5
2,122.456
Scientific notation:
(5×10^0)
(-2.5×10^4)
(5×10^{-1})
(2.122456×10^3)

Square:

The number we get after multiplying an integer (not a fraction) by itself. Example: (2×2=4,2^2=4)

Square Roots:

A square root of (x) is a number r whose square is (x: r^2=x)
(r) is a square root of (x)

Pythagorean Theorem:

For any right triangle with legs (a) and (b) and hypotenuse (c): (a^2+b^2=c^2)
Solving for the hypotenuse: (c=sqrt{a^2+b^2})
Solving for a leg: (a=sqrt{c^2-b^2})
Common Pythagorean triples: (3,4,5); (5,12,13); (8,15,17); (7,24,25)

Triangles

Area: (A=frac{1}{2}bh) where (b) is the base and (h) is the height.
Perimeter: (P=a+b+c) (sum of all three sides).
Pythagorean Theorem (right triangles): (a^2+b^2=c^2) where (c) is the hypotenuse.
Sum of interior angles: (180°)

Right triangles:

A right triangle has one (90°) angle. The two sides forming the right angle are the legs; the longest side (opposite the right angle) is the hypotenuse.
Pythagorean Theorem: (a^2+b^2=c^2)
Area: (A=frac{1}{2},a,b) (where (a) and (b) are the two legs)
The two non-right angles are complementary (they add to (90°)).

All triangles:

Area (=frac{1}{2}) b. H
Angles on the inside of any triangle add up to (180^circ).
The length of one side of any triangle is always less than the sum and more than the difference between the lengths of the other two sides.
An exterior angle of any triangle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles. Other important triangles:

Equilateral:

These triangles have three equal sides, and all three angles are (60^circ).

Isosceles:

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides. The “base” angles (the ones opposite the two sides) are equal (see the (45^circ) triangle above).

Similar:

Two or more triangles are similar if they have the same shape. The corresponding angles are equal, and the corresponding sides are in proportion. For example, the (3-4-5) triangle and the (6-8-10) triangle from before are similar since their sides are in a ratio of to.

A negative exponent means to divide by that number of factors instead of multiplying.
