What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

The area of a triangle is given by the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height.

How do you solve a linear equation in one variable?

Back

To solve a linear equation in one variable, isolate the variable on one side of the equation using inverse operations.

Front

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides: a² + b² = c².

Front

What is the difference between mean, median, and mode?

Back

Mean is the average of a set of numbers, median is the middle value when numbers are arranged in order, and mode is the number that appears most frequently.

Front

How do you calculate the slope of a line given two points?

Back

The slope (m) of a line through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is calculated as: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the quadratic formula?

Back

The quadratic formula is used to find the solutions of a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0: x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a).

Front

What is the difference between a rational and an irrational number?

Back

A rational number can be expressed as a fraction of two integers, while an irrational number cannot be expressed as a simple fraction.

Front

What is the order of operations in mathematics?

Back

The order of operations is Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right), often abbreviated as PEMDAS.

Front

How do you find the greatest common factor (GCF) of two numbers?

Back

The GCF of two numbers is the largest number that divides both of them without leaving a remainder. It can be found using prime factorization or the Euclidean algorithm.

Front

What is a function in mathematics?

Back

A function is a relation that assigns exactly one output for each input. It can be represented as f(x), where x is the input.
