– If sin(x)=cos(y) and x and y are acute, then x+y=90. – For projectile motion problems, at max height velocity and acceleration are zero. – Radians and degrees-set up a proportion. – What is slope? RATE of CHANGE. – What is magnitude of rate of change? Absolute value of slope. – How is probability defined?[…]
Growth Problems: For LINEAR GROWTH, y always changes by the same amount when x changes by the same amount. Example: Each successive year, $100 is added to the value of the account. For EXPONENTIAL GROWTH, y increases by more and more as x increases by the same amount. Examples: A stock doubles in value every[…]

– Water exists in 3 states: Solid/ice, liquid/drinking water, gas/water vapor. Melting point = freezing point. They both describe the same transition of matter – liquid to solid is freezing and solid to liquid is melting. Freezing point of water — 32 F and 0 C at 1 atm of pressure Boiling point of water[…]
– Viscosity: the consistency of a fluid High viscosity: thicker, slower flowing liquid Low viscosity: thinner, faster flowing liquid – The basics of data science: The independent variable (X) affects the dependent variable (Y). If you measure the effect of tutoring hours (X) on ACT score (Y), tutoring hours is independent variable and the ACT[…]
