L. 6-2: Kites and Trapezoids

 The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular.

 In an isosceles trapezoid, each pair of bases angles are
congruent.
 The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.
 The midsegment of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases, and
it’s length is the sum of the bases.
 XY ll AD , XY ll BC. XY = ½ (AD + BC).

L. 6-3 : Properties of Parallelograms

 If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram , then it’s opposite sides

are congruent.
 If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then it’s consecutive
angles are supplementary.
 If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then opposite angles are
congruent.
 If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, the it’s diagonals are
bisectors.
L. 6-4 : Proving a Quadrilateral is a Parallelogram

 If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are

congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
 If an angle of quadrilateral is supplementary to both of it’s
consecutive angles, then the it’s a parallelogram.
 If both pairs of opposite angles of quadrilateral are
congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
 If the diagonals of a quadrilateral are bisectors, then the
quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
 If one pair of opposite sides of a quadrilateral is both
congruent and parallel, then the quadrilateral is a
parallelogram.
 ALGEBRA SUMMARY
L. 6-3: Exponential Growth and Decay
 Exponential growth: f(x)= a ( 1+r ) [to the power of x]
a = initial amount , r = growth rate , x = time in years ,
1+r = growth factor
 Exponential decay: f(x)= a ( 1-r ) [to the power of x]
a = initial amount , r = decay rate , x = time in years ,
1-r = decay factor
r
 Compound Interest: f(x)= a (1+ ____ ) [ to the power of n
n
____
times t] __
a = initial amount , p = principal amount , r = interest rate , n =
number of times per year [ annually n:1 , semiannually n:2 ,
quarterly n:4 , monthly n:12 ] , t = time in years

L. 6-4: Geometric Sequence

 Recursive formula: An= r ( An-1 ) , A1: ? [you have to include
the first value]
n: nth term , r: common ratio , An-1: previous term

 Explicit formula: An= A1(r) [to the power of n-1]

n: nth term , A1: first term , r: common ratio

L.6-5: Transformation of Exponential Functions

 Vertical Translation: f(x)= a [ to the power of x] + k
Ex. F(x)= 0.5[to the power of x]
g(x)= 0.5[to the power of x] + 2
g(x) is translated 2 units up
 Horizontal Translation: f(x)= a [ to the power of x + k]
F(x)= 0.5[to the power of x]
g(x)= 0.5[to the power of x + 2]
g(x) is translated 2 units left
