BASIC OPERATIONS OF REAL NUMBERS AND SUMMARY OF KEY CONCEPTS
Positive and Negative Numbers A number is denoted as positive if it is directly preceded by a "+1' sign or no sign at
all. A number is denoted as negative if it is directly preceded by a - sign.
Opposites Opposites are numbers that are the same distance from zero on the number line but have opposite signs.
Double-Negative Property —(-a)=a
Absolute Value (Geometric) The absolute value of a number a, denoted lab is the distance from a to O on the
number line.
Absolute Value (Algebraic)
The absolute value of a real number x is denoted by Ixl. This is defined as:

Operations with Fractions
Rule 1 To add and subtract fractions with same denominator, add the numerator and copy the denominator
Example
2.
Rule 2 To add and subtract fractions with different denominators, first, we would like to convert the fractions into a
form where all the denominators are the same. To do this, find the least common denominator (LCD). Divide the LCD
by the denominator of the first fraction then multiply the result to its numerator. Do the same for all other fractions
in the equation until they all have the same denominator. Then follow rule number 1 to solve.
Example
4 (2)+3 (5) 8 + 15 23
12 12
2. 8-15
12 12
Rule 3 To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators, then multiply
the denominators. Example
1. 3(5)
2.
Rule 4 To divide fractions, multiply the dividend to the reciprocal of the divisor. Example
2.
note: convert mixed numbers to improper fractions

STATISTICS
MEAN , MEDIAN AND MODE
Mean is the average of the data in a set. It is the sum of all data or elements divided by the number of data or
elements.
Median is the middle of all elements or data in a set arranged in descending or ascending order. Odd # of
elements = middle term
Even # of elements = average of two middle terms
Mode is the most frequently seen element in a set
SAMPLE: Ronalds grade in Math and science for 2 semester
are shown below:
Math:
Science:
Find the mean, median and mode of each subject.
SOLUTION:
a) For Math
Mean 80+83+ 85+ 85+ +86
11
2014
= 85.18
Median = 85
Arrange the grades in descending order: 90, 87, 86, 85, 85, 85, 85, 83, 82, 80. Since there are 11
grades, the middle is in the 6 place, which is 85. Therefore the median is 85.
Mode is 85, since 85 appears most frequently.
b) For Science
Mean =
10
= 86.3
Median=86.S
Arrange the grades in descending order we have: 90, 89, 89, 89, 87, 86, 85, 84, 82, 82. Since the
number of grades is 10 (even), the middle in the 5 and 6 places. Therefore, the median is the average
of 87 and 86 which is 86.5
Mode is 89, since 89 appears the most number of times than the others.
PERMUTATIONS, COMBINATIONS AND PROBABILITY
In English, we use the word "combination" loosely, without thinking if the order of things is important.
"My fruit salad is a combination of apples, grapes and bananas 'J
We don't care what order the fruits are in, they could also be "bananas, grapes and apples" or " grapes,
apples and bananas", it is the same fruit salad.
"The combination to the sage was 472"
Now we do care about the order. "742" would not work, nor would "247 11 . It has to be exactly 4-7-2
In Mathematics, we use more precise
language:
If the order doesn't matter, it is a
COMBINATION If the order does matter,
it is a PERMUTATION
PERMUTATION
A Permutation is an ordered Combination
There are three types of permutation problems you need to know
• Repetition is allowed: such as the lock example. It could be "333"
• No Repetition: for example, the first three people in a running race. You can't be first and second.
• No Repetition and objects are not distinct: how do you solve for " How many permutations are there in the word
LOBBY?
Permutations with Repetition
When you have n things to choose from and you are choosing r of them, the permutations are: n
x n x (r times)
Example
In a combination lock, there are 10 numbers to choose from (O, 1, 2,
, 9) and you choose 3 of them
10 x = 1000 permutations
Page
The formula is:
n where n is the number of
things to choose from, and you choose r of them (repetition
allowed, order matters
n Pr-P(n, r) = — — 2) ... (n —r + 1) —
SAMPLE: How many ways can a 3-digit number be arranged to form a bank password
SOLUTION: There are 10 digits taken 3 at a time
3)!
Permutation of n objects non—distinct objects
The permutation of n objects taken n at a time, in which q are alike, r are alike and so on is
P(n, r) =
SAMPLE: How many permutations are there in the word
LOBBY?
SOLUTION: Letter B = 2 Letter L = 1
Letter O = I Letter Y = I
n! 5! 5 - 4 - 3 - 2'
= 60 ways
Page
Combination
A combination is an unordered arrangement of objects in a set. The numbers of a combination of n objects
taken r at a time is n! C(n,r) =
SAMPLE:
How many combinations can be made on 6 girls taken 2 at a time to appear in a variety show?
SOLUTION:
= 15
Circular Permutation
How can A, B, C be arranged around a circle?
Circular Permutaüons
Not in the three ways shown above! Why? Because each one of A, B, C has the same neighbor. Without changing the
neighbor, only changing seats will not change the circular permutation. The only valid circular permutation is
as 0follows 0
Grcular Permutations
The formula is (n-l)!
n
Think about this example:
10 beads will be arranged to make a bracelet. How many possible combinations can be made?
Probability
Many events cannot be predicted with total certainty, The best we can say is how likely they are to
happen using the idea of probability.
If an event can happen in m ways and may fail in n ways, then the probability that it will happen is
And the probability that it will fail is
SAMPLE:
In tossing a coin, what is the probability that the head, H, will appear?
SOLUTION:
When a coin is tossed, there are two possible outcomes, heads(H) or tails (T).

SAMPLE:
When rolling a dice, what is the probability that a "4" will appear?
SOLUTION:

B. Geometric Progression
A geometric progression is a sequence of numbers in which each term, after the first, is obtained by
multiplying each preceding number by a constant called the common ratio. The elements of the sequence are
called terms.
The following are the notations used for geometric progression:
al = first term r = common
ratio n = number of terms
an = last term or n tern
a = air

SPECIAL PRODUCTS AND FACTORING
The easiest way to find the product of polynomials is by the method
called Special Product Formula. The following are the different kinds of
special products.
1. Product of Two Binomials
(ax + by) (cx + dy) = acx2 + (ad + bc)xy +
bdy2
2. Square of Binomials

4. Cube of a Binomial x3 + 3x2y + 3xy2 + Y3
(x —y) = x3 — 3x 2y + 3xy2 — y 3
5. Special case of Product of Binomial and Trinomial
(x + xy + y 2) = x3 + y3 (x + + xy+ y 2 ) =
x 3 —y 3
6. Square of a Trinomial
(a b + c) 2 = a2 + b2 + c2 -l- 2ab + 2ac + 2bC

Ill. Addition and Subtraction of Radica Is
Similar radicals are radicals of the same order and the same radicand. Similar radical can be combined
into a single radical by the use of the distributive law. Radicals of different indices and different radicands are
called dissimilar radicals.
This illustrates the addition of radicals:

LINEAR EQUATIONS
A linear function y = mx + ban * O or f(x) = mx + b gives a corresponding linear equation mx + b = O. The
root of this equation gives the zero at the function y = mx + b.
Many linear equation do not come in standard form mx + b = 0 like the equations below.
1. 3x-4 = 5- 2x
3x-4+ 2x-5 = o

2. x = —12
3. 3
LITERAL EQUATIONS
Sometimes you have a formula, such as something from geometry, and you need to solve for some
variable other than the "standard" one. For instance, the formula for the perimeter P of a square with sides of
length s is P = 4s. You might need to solve this equation for s, so you can plug in a perimeter and figure out the side
length.
This process of solving a formula for a given variable is called "solving literal equations". One of the
dictionary definitions of "literal" is "related to or being comprised of letters", and variables are sometimes referred
to as literals. So "solving literal equations" seems to be another way of saying "taking an equation with lots of
letters, and solving for one letter in particular."

Consider the expression D = b 2 - 4ac , called the discriminant.
INEQUALITIES
Inequalities are also called relations of order, with symbols of > or < . To help visualize these relations we use the
number line.
Positive, Negative, Non-negative
x
-3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
x is positive means x > O or x is to right of O on the number line y is
negative means y < O or y is to the left of O on the number line z is non-
negative means z 0 or z cannot be to the left of O on number line a > b
means "a lies to the right of b" on the number line or a is greater than b
We now introduce some notations for intervals on the number line: (a)

A square also fits the definition of a rectangle (all angles are 900 ), and a rhombus (all sides are equal length).
The Parallelogram
A parallelogram*s opposite sides are parallel and equal in length. Also opposite angles are equal (angles "a" are the
same, and angles "b" are the same)
NOTE: Squares, Rectangles and Rhombuses are all Parallelograms!
The Trapezoid
The Kite
Hey, it looks like a kite. It has two pairs of sides. Each pair is made up of adjacent sides that are equal jn length. The
angles are equal where the pairs meet. Diagonals (dashed lines) meet at a right angle, and one of the diagonal
bisects (cuts equally in half) the other.
Irregular Quadrilaterals
The only regular quadrilateral is a square. So all other quadrilaterals are irregular.
The "Family Tree" Chart
Quadrilateral definitions are inclusive.
Example: A square is also a rectangleSo we include a square in the definition of a rectangle. (We don't say
rectangle has al/ 900 angles, except if it is a square")
This may seem odd because in daily life we think of a square as not being a rectangle ... but in
mathematics it is.

PARABOLA
A parabola is a set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point and a fixed line of the plane, The
fixed point is called the focus and the fixed line is the directrix.
The equation of a parabola with vertex at the origin and focus at (a, 0) is y 2 = 4ax
The parabola opens to the right if a > 0 and opens to the left if a < 0.
The equation of a parabola vertex at the origin and focus at (Ora) is x 2 = 4ay The
parabola opens upward if a > 0 and opens downward if a < 0.
Parabola with vertex at (h,k)
The equation of a parabola with vertex at (h, k) and focus (h, k + a) is (y —
= 4a(x — h)
The parabola opens to the right if a > O and opens to the left if a < O.
The equation of a parabola with vertex at (h, k) and focus (h, k + a) is (x —
= 4a(y — k)
The parabola opens upward if and opens downward if a < 0.
SAMPLES:
1. Write the equation of the parabola with vertex at the origin and the focus at (0,4).
SOLUTION: The distance from the vertex to the focus is 4, and hence a=4. Substituting the value for a, we get x 2 =
16y
2. A parabola has its vertex at the origin, its axis along the x-axis, and passes through the points (-
3,6). Find its equation.
SOLUTION: The equation of the parabola of the form Y 2 = 4ax. To determine the value of 4a, we substitute the
coordinate of the given point in this equation. Thus we obtain 36 = 4a(—3) and 4a = —12
The required equation IS y

Limit (Informal Definition)
Let's look at the sequence whose n th term is given by n/(n+l).
What will this sequence look like?
1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6,... 10/11,... 99/100,... 99999/100000,...
What's happening to the terms of this sequence? Can you think of a number that these terms are getting closer and
closer to? Yep! The terms are getting closer to Il But, will they ever get to 1? Nope! So, we can say that these terms
are approaching 1. Sounds like a limit! The limit is 1.
As n gets bigger and bigger, n/(n+l) gets closer and closer to 1...
We then say that f(n) approaches the value I as n approaches infinity, or that the limit of f(x) as x increases infinitely
is equal to I.
Symbolically we write limits as

WORD PROBLEMS
The general procedure of solving word problems is done by expressing the conditions of the problems in algebraic
symbols. No definite rule can be followed for solving word problems but the following suggestions will help in the
translation of word problems into mathematical symbols.
Strategy for Solving Word Problems
1. Read very carefully the problems until the conditions are all clear. Determine the given and set
what is to be found.
2. Draw figures or diagrams and label the known and the unknown parts.
3. Use formulas connecting the known quantities with the unknown quantities.
4. Represent the unknown quantities in terms of x.
5. Form an equation of the translated condition of the problem by relating the known and the unknown
quantities.
6. Solve for the unknown from the formed equation7. Check the solutions with the condition of the
problem.
NUMBER RELATION PROBLEMS
The sum of two numbers is 36. If the larger number is divided by the smaller number, the quotient is 2 and the
remainder is 3. Find the numbers.
SOLUTION:
Let x = the larger number, and
36 — x = the smaller number
The equation is:
x 3
36 —x 36 -x x = 25
Therefore, X = 25 is the larger number and 11 is the smaller number ANOTHER
SOLUTION:
Let x smaller number
36 — x the larger number
The equation is:
39 — x 3 x
x x = Il
Therefore, x = 11 is the smaller number, and 25 is the larger number.
The sum of two consecutive integers is 15. Find the number.

INVESTMENT PROBLEMS
Interest is the money paid for the use of money called principal. In general, interest is determined by the
product of three factors — principal, rate and time.
The principal is the sum of money invested that bears interest.
The rate is the fraction of the principal paid for its use during a certain period of time, usually one year.
The time is the interval during which the principal is used.
The amount is the sum of the principal and interest.
FORMULA TO REMEMBER:
Simple Interest I = Prt
Compound Interest
EXAMPLE:
Cheska has P6,000 invested at 5% and 6%. How much would she have to invest at 6% so that her total interest per
year would be equal to P320?
SOLUTION:
Let x = the amount invested at 5%
6000 — x = the amount invested at 6%
The interests for each investments are
= interest at 5% =x(0.05)(1)
= interest at 6% = (6000 —
Since the annual interest is P320, then
= P320 or + (6000 — = 320
Solving for x, we get x = 4000, amount invested at 5% and P2,000, invested at 6%.
A man divides PIO,OOO in two investments, one at 10% and the other at 30%. Find out how much is invested at
each rate so that the two investments produce the same income annually.
P
COIN PROBLEMS
The nature of solving coin problems is related to that of mixture problems. The guiding principle here is the fact
that the sum of the values at each denomination is equal to the total amount of coins.
EXAMPLE:
A coin purse contains 5c, IOC and 25c coins. The number of IOC coins is three times as many as 5c coins,
and the 25c coin is two more than the IOC coin. If the total value of its contents is P4.90, how many of
each kind of coins are in the purse?
SOLUTION:
Let x = the number of 5c coins 0.05x = the value of 5c coins
3x = the number of IOC coins 3x(o.10) = the value of IOC coins
3x -f- 2 = the number Of 25c coins = the value of 25c coins
The equation is based on the value of 5c + the value of IOC + value of 25c = P4.90
0.05x + 3x(o.10) + (3x + 2) (0.25) = 4.90
Solving for x, we get x = 4, for the number of 5c coins, twelve IOC coins and fourteen 25c coins,
Your uncle walks in, jingling the coins in his pocket. He grins at you and tells you that you can have all the
coins if you can figure out how many of each kind of coin he is carrying. He tells you that he has been
collecting dollars and quarters and they add up to seventeen dollars in value. How many of each coin
does he have?

MIXTURE PROBLEMS

Mathematics 2014 09155057703 / 3998584
PTS Tutorial and Review Systems Katipunan Branch 2014
Mixture problems occur in many different situations. For example, a store owner may wish to combine two goods
in order to sell a new blend at a given price. A chemist may wish to obtain a solution of a desired strength by
combining other solutions.
Mixture problems are word problems where items or quantities of different values are mixed together. They
involve creating a mixture from two or more things, and then determining some quantity (percentage, price, etc)
of the resulting mixture.
1st mixture + 2nd mixture = total mixture
There are two types of mixture problems:
those in which the items remain separate
(ex. quantities of different costs are mixed together : two different types of candy)
The format for mixture problems involving quantities of different
costs is: [1st amount * 1 st costl + [2n amount * 2 nd cost] = [total
amount * final cost]
those in which two elements blend
(ex. different liquids are mixed together changing the concentration of the mixture: two different types of
chemicals).
The format for mixture problems involving percentages is:
st percentage) + 12 amount * 2nd percentage) = [total amount *final percentage)
[1 amount *
A good way to solve problems like this would be to look at the seoarate mixture types first and begin with a table.
This, however, may take some time and may not be practical during entrance exams, Try to come up with
shortcuts as you get used to solving mixture problems.
MIXTURE PROBLEMS INVOLVING PERCENTS
The key point In mixture problems is In terms of their component parts. For instance, 50cc of 40% alcohol solution
contains more pure alcohol solution than IOOcc of 15% alcohol solution. This is because:
50cc of 40% alcohol solution = 20cc of pure alcohol, and
100cc of 15% alcohol solution = 15cc of pure alcohol.
EXAMPLE:
Forty liters of a 60% salt solution are reduced to a 45% solution. How much solution must be drained off and
replaced with distilled water so that the resulting solution contains only 45% solution.
SOLUTION:
Let x represent the number of liters of salt solution to be drained off and replace with the distilled water.
The content of the mixture is given in the following diagram:
60% salt 60% salt 0% salt 45% salt
40% water 40% water 100% 55% water
40 Liters x Liters water 40 Liters
x Liters

Solving for x, we get x = 10 liters How much of a 40% solution of alcohol and how much of a 80%
solution should be mixed to give 40 gallons of a 50% solution?

Once you have the table or the buckets, you need to fill in the information.
This is how the table will look: This is how the buckets will look:
25 = 25+C
m. 25 12 $12 $7 $9
nuts
cashews c
Mixture 25+C
Now, let's use the information in the table or in buckets to write the equation.
Remember that amount in first mixture plus amount in second mixture equals amount in total mixture, i.e. 1st
mixture + 2nd mixture = total mixture.
So the equation will be: 12(25) + 7C = 9(25 + C) .
The solution of this equation is C = 37.5pounds.
This means that you should use 25 pounds of macadamia nuts costing $12 per pound and 37.5 pounds of cashews
costing $7 per pound to obtain 62.5 pounds of mixture costing $9 per pound.
Example: How many pounds of candy worth $1.20 a pound must be mixed with 10 pounds of candy worth 90
cents a pound to produce a mixture worth $1.00 a pound?

MOTION PROBLEMS
A body is moving in a path of constant speed if that body passes over equal distances in any two equal intervals of
time. Such motion is referred to as uniform motion in a path. For example, if the average velocity is 50 miles per
hour (mph), then the distance covered in 2 hours is 100 miles.
The speed or rate of the body in its path is defined as the distance travelled in one unit of time. If r is the
rate and d is the distance travelled in t units of time, then these three quantities are related by the equation:
Distance = rate (time) or d = rt
From this equation, we can derive the associated relationships:
dt
EXAMPLE:
Mrs. Altares boarded a bus bound for Baguio at exactly 4am. After one and one-half hours, her husband followed
driving the family car at 75mph. Assuming that the bus is travelling at an average speed of 50mph, at what time will
Mr. Altares overtake the bus?
SOLUTION:
Let x = the number of hours required for the car to overtake the bus, and
X 1.5 = the number of hours traveled by the bus before overtaking.
t d
CAR 75 751
BUS 50 x + 1.5 50 x + 1.5
For the car to overtake the bus, their distances should be equal, thus, we have the equation:
75x = 50(x + 1.5)
Solving for x, we get x = 3 hours. If the car left at 5:30am, then the car will overtake the bus at 8:30am.
ANOTHER SOLUTION:
Let x = the number of hours covered by the bus in travelling before overtaking takes place. And x
— 1.5 = number of hours covered by the car in travelling
We represent the givens as:
d
CAR 75 x- 1.5 75 x — 1.5
BUS 50 x sox

Each worked for two hours. In that time each did two times the fractional part of their work, or 2 (— 8) and 2G)
Jhun left and only Leo worked and finished the job in x hours, so he did x of the job. When the job is completed, all
the fractional parts of the job sum up to one complete job.

AGE PROBLEMS
This type of problem usually relates the ages of two persons. Often encountered is the word "ago" which means
that the previous years. On the other hand, the phrases "x years hence", 'tx years from now", or "in x years" all
refer to x years to come or x years in the future.
EXAMPLE:
Lita is 41 years old and her daughter is 9, In how many years will the mother be three times as old as her daughter?
SOLUTION:
Let x = the required number of years
9 + x = daughter's age after x years
41 — x = Mother's age in x years
The equation is based on:
Mother's age in x years = 3(daughter's age in x years)
41 X = X) x =
