3 Things You WANT to

Memorize for the Math SAT

1. The Pythagorean Theorem a2 + b2 = c2

• The Pythagorean Theorem is used for
ﬁnding the length of the hypotenuse of a
right triangle. While that is great and
a
useful, it can be used for much more.

The Pythagorean Theorem a2 + b2 = c2

• Instead of memorizing the distance formula,
you can simply use the Pythagorean Theorem.
• The 30-‐60-‐90 and 45-‐45-‐90 special right
a
triangle formulas are given on the SAT, the

Pythagorean Theorem can be used in place of
those too.
2. Pythagorean Triples
• Here are the two Pythagorean Triples
that will show up most oWen on the SAT:

a
3-‐4-‐5 as 32 + 42 = 52

5-‐12-‐13 as 52 + 122 = 132

You can use those same Pythagorean Triples to

make more of them. What do I mean by “make
more of them?” Just count by each number to
make more. For example, count by 3’s, 4’s and
a
5’s!
3-‐4-‐5 will also create as 6-‐8-‐10, and
9-‐12-‐15, and so on.
5-‐12-‐13 will do the same as 10-‐24-‐26.

3. Know what f(x) means

• f(x) is called func.on nota.on and is read
f of x.
a
• f(x) is just a fancy way to say “y” in an
equa.on that also has an “x.”
f(x) = 2x + 5 really means y = 2x + 5

• f(3) is read f at 3.
If f(x) = 2x + 5 ﬁnd f(3).
a
Replace x with 3!

f(3) = 2(3) + 5
f(3) = 6 + 5
f(3) = 11

• Find x if f(x) = 3 when f(x) = 2x + 5.
Replace f(x) with 3!
a
3 = 2x + 5
-‐2 = 2x
-‐1 = x

Kathy is a repair technician for a phone company.

Each week, she receives a batch of phones that need
repairs. The number of phones that she has left to fix
at the end of each day can be estimated with the
equation P = 108 − 23d, where P is the number of
phones left and d is the number of days she has
worked that week. What is the meaning of the value
108 in this equation?
A) Kathy will complete the repairs within 108 days.
B) Kathy starts each week with 108 phones to fix.
C) Kathy repairs phones at a rate of 108 per hour.
D) Kathy repairs phones at a rate of 108 per day.

The data in the table above were produced by a sleep researcher studying the
number of dreams people recall when asked to record their dreams for one week.
Group X consisted of 100 people who observed early bedtimes, and Group Y
consisted of 100 people who observed later bedtimes. If a person is chosen at
random from those who recalled at least 1 dream, what is the probability that the
person belonged to Group Y ?
A) 68 C) 79
100 164
B) 79 D) 164
