-anything to power of 1 = itself
-multiplying equivalent variables with exponents:
-add exponents
-dividing equivalent variables with exponents:
-subtract exponents
Q: Negative exponent
Answer:

Absolute value
How far away a number is from zero
-whatever the answer is, but positive
Absolute value brackets in equation
-take out brackets
-turn into two equations; one positive answer, one negative
-solve for x for both equations
-two answers
Adding fractions
-find least common denominator
-multiply each numerator by however much it’s denominator was multiplied
-add new numerators, keep denominator
-SIMPLIFY
Subtracting fractions
-find least common denominator
-multiply each numerator by however much it’s denominator was multiplied
-subtract new numerators, keep denominator
-SIMPLIFY
Quadratic formula
x= -b + or – radical (b squared – 4ac) all over 2a
Multiplying fractions
multiply through
(numerator x numerator) over (denominator over denominator)
SIMPLIFY
Dividing fractions
Keep. Change. Flip
-KEEP first fraction
-CHANGE division sign to multiplication sign
-FLIP second fraction
-multiply through
-SIMPLIFY
Fraction to a power
If fraction in parentheses:
-the whole fraction times itself x many times
-multiply through
If no parentheses:
-only the number with the exponent is effected
Factoring
-how and what signs to use
SUM CENTER
-find two numbers that add to middle term and multiply to outside term
-if second sign in original equation is positive, then both signs in parentheses are same as first sign in equation
-if second sign is negative, then both signs in parentheses are different
-final answers are opposite of signs in parentheses

to the power of zero
one
to the power of one
itself
multiplying variables with exponents
add
dividing variables with exponents
subtract
slope
M =
y2 – y1
over
x2 – x1
finding equation of line given two points
-find slope
-using y=mx+b: plug in slope, and x and y from either ordered pair
-solve for b
solve for x in fractions
-get x fraction alone
-clean up other side
-if x is in denominator, flip both sides of equation
-multiply both sides by denominator of x
f(x) = x squared ?
Function “F” takes “X” and turns it into X squared
calculating functions
-replace all functions with output
-clean up and simplify
-if h isn’t there, a = 0
shifting graphs
y = Asin ( Bx + C ) + D
A = vertical stretch
B = horizontal stretch
-bigger number = squish
C = horizontal shift
-positive = shift left
D = vertical shift
Logs
FAE
-first
-answer
-exponent
Log and ln properties (3)
-multiplication inside = addition outside
-division inside = subtraction outside
-exponent inside = move exponent to front as multiplier
5 radical 4
4 to the power of 1/5
angle theta
SOHCAHTOA
simplify
find inverse of function
1) stick y in for f(x)
2) switch y and x
3) solve for y
4) stick f^-1(x) in for y
solve for x with log
-change exponential form into log form
-get x alone
natural log
ln (log naturel)
-lne to the power of x = x
method of completing the square
-put x and half of b into parentheses squared
-square b/2, add or subtract how much to get to original c
-put that number outside parentheses
-keep the sign in the parentheses same as sign in equation
