Week 5, Day 1: Quantitative Comparison

Chapter 16: Quantitative Comparisons Quantitative Comparison questions include two mathematical expressions, usually following a question stem which applies to both expressions (quantity A and quantity B). ·        You usually don’t need to calculate a specific answer, just determine which is greater, whether they are equal, or if you need more information ·        Memorize these answer choices! ·        Do not rely on the calculator – avoid unnecessary computations ·        Be very careful with geometric figures, as they are not necessarily drawn to scale ·        The last answer choice D should ONLY be selected if no computation is possible OR if you can generate multiple different relationships (e.g., A is greater if x > 2, but A is lesser if x = 2) ·        Always simplify the expressions ...

Week 5, Day 2: Algebra Review

Chapter 12: Math Foundations – Algebra Review Memorize: ·        Algebraic terms o    Variable – letters representing unknown quantities o    Constants – numbers not multiplied by any variable o    Terms – constants and products of constants and variables o    Product – result of multiplication o    Coefficient – the constant in front of a variable; if no number is visible, the coefficient is understood to be 1 o    Algebraic expression – any mathematical expression (‘sentence’) containing one or more constants, variables, and possibly one or more operation symbols (e.g., +- etc.) o    Monomial – algebraic expressions with a single term (no spaces or operators, e.g., 2, 3a, 4xyz, etc.) o    Polynomial – algebraic expressions with more than one term (combined with operators and spaces, e.g., 2 + 3a, etc.) §   Binomial – has exactly two terms §   ...
