Dividing Fractions
There are 3 Simple Steps to Divide Fractions: Turn the second fraction (the one you want to divide by) upside down (this is now a reciprocal). Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal of second fraction Simplify the fraction (if needed) Fractions and Whole Numbers What about division with fractions and whole numbers? Make the … Continue reading "Dividing Fractions"

Sequence A Sequence is a set of things (usually numbers) that are in order. 2, 4, 6, 8, … Geometric Sequences In a Geometric Sequence, each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant. This sequence has a factor of 3 between each number. Each term (except the first term) is found … Continue reading "Geometric Sequences and Sums"
Read MoreParallel and Perpendicular Lines
Definition of Parallel Lines If 2 lines are parallel, their slopes are same. Slope is the value m in the equation of a line. y = mx + b If two lines are parallel lines, they will never intersect. They have exactly the same steepness which means their slopes are identical. Since: Slope is a … Continue reading "Parallel and Perpendicular Lines"
