When question asks which statistical measure, what should you start with?
Least to most time-consuming statistic: total>range>median>mean
What should you do to save time when question asks for approximate?
round numbers to avoid extra math
What should you pay attention to when there is a graph or table?
pay attention to chart values
When given the endpoint & center of a circle, what should formula should you use to find radius?
pythagoream theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
When given a polynomial divided by a factor and remainder, what should you do to find the true statement?
EX: g(x)/(x-4)=3
double the factor and add the remainder, then, use the new equation to test answers
What does it mean to be a factor of a polynomial?
When the polynomial is divided by the factor, there is no remainder.
What strategy should I use to find equivalent division problems with different remainders?
Use the remainder theorem: if polynomial p(x) is divided by x-a, the remainder is p(a)
How do you save time on a question that involves rearranging variables?
ignore the given information
