than quantities)

Proportions & Distance problems


• Direct proportion
o x/y = k
• Inverse Proportion
o x*y = k
• Joint proportion
o x/yz = k or x = yzk (x is jointly proportional to y and z)
• x/y = k -> ax/y = ak
• x/y = k -> x/by = k/b
• x/y = k, a/b = m -> ax/by = km
• The force of the gravitational attraction between two bodies is directly
proportional to the mass of each body and inversely proportional to the square of
distance between them. If the distance between two bodies is tripled and the
mass of each is doubled, what happens to the force of gravitational attraction
between them?
Proportions & Distance problems
• Distance
o If an object travels at a rate r, for a time t, then it travels a distance d.
o d= rt
o r=d/t
o t=d/r

Inequalities
• If a> b and b > c -> a > c
• If x > y -> x +c > y + c
• If x > y, a > b, x + a > y + b
• If x > y and a > 0 -> xa > ya
• If x > y and a < 0 -> xa < ya
• If x > y > 0 and a > b > 0 -> xa > yb
• If x > y and x and y have the same sign -> 1/x < 1/y
(similar rules hold for nonstrict inequalities)

Sequences & Series
• Arithmetic sequences
o In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between two consecutive terms is always the
same.

• Arithmetic Series
o When we add a group of consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence, we form an
arithmetic series.

Sequences & Series


• Arithmetic Series
o The sum of the first n positive integers is

o The sum of the first n positive odd integers is


Sequences & Series
• Geometric sequences
o In a Geometric sequence, instead of there being a common difference between terms, there
is a common ratio between terms. That is, after the first term, the ratio between each term
and the preceding term is always the same.

Sequences & Series


• Geometric Series
o Just as adding the terms of an arithmetic sequence forms an arithmetic series, adding the
terms of a geometric sequence forms a geometric series.
