CH P Compound Fractions

* Get the LCD of denominators from fractions of both numerator

Fractions and denominator.
- Find LCD
- Cross-multiply Factoring
- Conversions  GCF
- Factor out  AC Method (Note of non-zero leading coeff.)
 Special Factoring Formulas
Decimal to Fraction - A^2 – B^2 = (A + B)(A - B)
* Non-repeating: Multiply with 10^n, n being the amount of - A^2 + 2AB + B^2 = (A + B)^2
decimal. - A^2 – 2AB + B^2 = (A – B)^2
* Repeating: Multiply by powers of (10^n)x to isolate the repeating - A^3 – B^3 = (A – B)(A^2 + AB + B^2)
decimal, n being natural numbers, then subtract with another - A^3 + B^3 = (A + B)(A^2 – AB + B^2)
power of (10^n)x.  Grouping (Grouped terms must have same ration with
other groups)
Properties of Real Numbers  Completing-the-Square (Note of coeff. outside
1. Associative – Grouping parenthesis)
2. Commutative – Order  Synthetic Division
3. Distributive – Distribution - Get possible zeros (c) as factor (x – c): Rational
Zeroes Theorem, p/q
Sets - Eliminate candidates via:
* Set = {Elements} o Remainder Theorem
* Element, Not element, Union, Intersection, Null set
o Descarte’s Rule of Signs
* Notations: Inset Builder Notations, Interval Notation
o Upper and Lower Bounds Theorem
Absolute Value:  Complex Numbers
* |a| = +a (+), -a(-) - Complete Factorization Theorem
- Conjugate Zeroes Theorem
Radicals
Properties:
1. Multiplication: Can be combined in under 1 radical is
same index
2. Division: Can be separated or combined under 1 radical if
same index.
3. Multi-radical: Indexes can be multiplied to form single
radical.
4. If index is odd, retain the sign of radicand (+/-) on the
answer.
5. If index n is even, radicand is required to be positive, and
the result is in absolute value.

Rational Exponents
*Always factor first
* If radical denominator, multiply with conjugate (Take note of the
root or power of the conjugate)

Special Product Formulas

1. (A+B)(A-B) = (A-B)^2
2. (A+B)^2 = A^2 + 2AB + B^2
3. (A-B)^2 = A^2 – 2AB + B^2
4. (A+B)^3 = A^3 + 3A^2B + 3AB^2 + B^3
5. (A-B)^3 = A^3 – 3A^2B + 3AB^2 - B^3
