Week 3 - More Math Concepts 1) Simultaneous equations look at what they want you to find before you start

t calculating. a) If p + 2q = 14 and 3p + q = 12, then q = ? b) c) If p + 2q = 14 and 3p + q = 12, then p = ? If m-n = 5 and 2m + 4n = 16 then m + n = ?

2) Functions/Strange symbols a) Example: if a b = (a + b2), find 2 4

i) On the left side of the weird formula, write the actual numbers above the variables ii) Now substitute those numbers into the right side of the equation, and evaluate b) Now try: if a b = (a + b2), find 2 (9 4)

c)

And try: x y = (x-y)/x If 9 4 = 15 k, then k = ?

3) Parallel lines cut by a transversal a) If 2 angles look congruent, they are. b) If 2 angles look different, then theyre supplementary. c) But dont assume lines are parallel if the problem doesnt say so!

4) a)

b)

To get from circumference to area, or vice versa, radius is the key. Example The area of a circle is 9. Find the circumference of the circle.

c) To find the measure of part of a circumference (arc), first find the entire circumference, then multiply by the fraction of the circumference youre looking for. Example A circle has an 18 foot diameter. Find the length of the arc of a circle cut out by an 80 angle from the center of the circle. 5) Rates pp. 373-374 6) Remainders a) Example find the remainder when 26 is divided by 4 i) Mental math how many groups of 4 could you take away from 26? Take them away, and see what you have left. b) Example find the remainder when 101 is divided by 7 i) Divide with your calculator. ii) Then multiply the decimal part of your answer by 7 c) Now try: i) Find the remainder of 114 divided by 13. ii) Find a number that, when divided by 6, has a remainder of 5. (Hint: find an easy multiple of 6, and add 5 to it.) iii) A harder version of the same problem: When x is divided by 6, its remainder is 5. Find the remainder of x + 19 divided by 6. iv) Now do examples on p. 375 7) Averages - average pie chart a) Example: A group of student have an average of $12 each. How many students are in the group if they have $60 in total?

Total Sum # of things Average

60 12

b) Example: A survey of five families shows they average 4 TVs per family. If the Smiths buy 2 more TVs, what would the average then be? c) A survey of twenty families shows they average 6 TVs per family. What is the maximum number of TVs that the Smith family could have? d) A survey of eight families shows they average 4 TVs per family. How many more TVs would the Joness have to buy to raise the average to 6 TVs per family? 8) Percents a) Percent increase/decrease = difference original x 100

i) Example: From 2010 to 2011, the price of an ounce of gold rose from $400 to $500. If it continues to rise by the same percent annually, how much will it cost in 2012? ii) In 2010 to 2011, the price of an antivirus program fell from $50 to $40. If it continues to fall at the same rate annually, how much will it cost in 2016? b) Directly translating percent word problem: What is 25% of 25% of 72? c) Is (part) = percent Of (whole) 100 i) Example: 30% of households own pets. If 120 households own pets, how many households are in Smithtown? ii) Example 20% of household pets in Smithtown are hamsters, and 50% are cats. If 600 pets in Smithtown are neither hamsters nor cats, how many cats are in Smithtown? 9) Complex figures a) Two overlapping figures? Find a common part (often a radius). b) Weird figure? Draw your own line. c) Do problems on bottom of p. 379 and bottom of p. 380 Week 3 - Math Homework 1) Practice- pp. 384 - 388 / answers and explanations that follow 2) Practice test 2, section 5 (p. 581) / see answer explanations on p. 632 3) Practice test 2, section 8 (p. 600)/ see answer explanations on p. 648
