Maths: Angle and E. G Nth Term Essay

Fractions
• Multiplying: Multiply top and bottom separetly e.g 3/5 X 4/7 = 3X4/5X7 = 12/35 • Dividing: Turn the 2nd fraction upside down, then multiply e.g 3/7 divided by 9/10 = 3/ 7X 10/9 = 3X10/7X9 = 30/63 = 10/21 • Finding a fraction of something: Multiply the something by the top of the fraction and then divide it by the bottom e.g 9/20 of $360 = 9X360 divided by 20 = $3240 divided by 20 =$162 • Turning recurring decimals into fractions: the fraction always has the repeating unit on the top and the same number of nines on the bottom e.g 0.44444 = 4/9, 0.3434 = 34/99, 0.1241 = 124/999 etc.

e.g 3:56 divided both sides by 3 = 1:18.7 e.g 1 1/4:3 1/2 X both sides by 4 = 5:14 e.g 3:4 = 3/4

Ratios

• To reduce a ratio to the form 1:n or n:1, you have to divide both sides by the smallest number • If ratio isn't a whole number, you need to times both sides equally so they make a whole number • Treat ratios like fractions

Percentages
• Find x% of y. Multiply! e.g Find 15% of $46 = 0.15 x 46 = $6.90 • Express x as a percentage of y. Divide and times 100! e.g Give 40p as a percentage of $3.34 = 40 divided by 334 x 100 = 12% • Price increase or decrease. e.g A house increase in value by 20% to $72,000. Find what it was worth before the rise. $72,000 = 120% divideby 120: $600 = 1% x 100: $60,000 = 100% • Percentage change = change/ original x 100

3. 2 parts = $1400, 4 parts = $2800, 7 parts = $4900 2. $9100 divide by 13 = $700 1. 2+4+7=13 e.g $9100 is to be split in the ratio 2:4:7

• You have to add up the parts, find the amount for one part (divide total amount by number of parts), then find the three amounts

Geometry terms
• • • • • • • • • • Angles on a straight line add up to 180º Angles in a 4-sided shape add up to 360º Exterior angle of a triangle = sum of opposite interior angles Exterior angle = 360º/no. of sides Interior angle = 180º - exterior angle Whenever one line crosses the two parallel lines the two bunches of angles are the same. In a Z shape, alternate angles are equal In a C shape supplementary angles add up to 180º In a U shape supplementary angles add up to 180º In a F shape corresponding angles are equal.

= 1/2n² +1 1/2n = 1/2n (n+3) 2+(n-1)3+1/2(n-1)(n-2)+1 = 2+3n-3+1/2 n²-1/2 n+1 find the difference (d), first number (a) and the change between numbers (c) e.g Nth term? 2,4,9,14 then add it into the equation - 3n+5-3 = 3n+2 find (a) which is just the first number in the sequence find the difference (d) which is 3 e.g Nth term? 5,8,11,14

The nth term

• Changing difference: a+(n-1)d+1/2(n-1)(n-2)c • Common difference: dn+(a-d)
