Maths (Monday)

 * Linear equation - power of one, straight line
 * the quadratic equation: ax² + bx + c
 * quadratic formula x = (-b ± sqtr(b² - 4ac)) / (2ac)  (a ≠ 0)
 * if a = 0:
 * if b = 0: x = ± sqrt(-c / a)  (a > 0)
 * if c = 0: ax + b = 0 or x = 0
 * complete the square: (a 1 x+b 1 )(a 2 x-b 2 ) = 0

 * f(x): f of x

Some elementary algebra or arithmetic:
 * The following important properties of the square root functions are valid for all positive real numbers $$x$$ and $$y$$:
 * $$\sqrt{xy} = \sqrt x \sqrt y \qquad \Rightarrow \qquad \sqrt{100\cdot y} \, = \, 10 \cdot \sqrt y $$
 * $$\sqrt{\frac{x}{y}} = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{y}} \qquad \Rightarrow \qquad \sqrt{\frac{x}{100}} = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{10} $$
 * $$\sqrt x = x^{1/2} $$

Identity:
 * $$\sqrt x - \sqrt y = \frac{x-y}{\sqrt x + \sqrt y},$$

When n, m, and n - m are positive (and if x is not equal to zero), one can see by counting the number of occurrences of x that
 * $$ \frac{x^n}{x^m} = x^{n - m}.$$

Negative integer exponents:
 * $$a^{-1} = \frac{1}{a}$$
 * $$3^{-4} = \frac{1}{3^{4}}$$.

The most important identity satisfied by integer exponentiation is:
 * $$ a^{m + n} = a^m \cdot a^n $$

This identity has the following consequences:

\begin{align} a^{m - n}& = \begin{matrix}\frac{a^m}{a^n}\end{matrix};\\ (a^m)^n& = a^{mn};\\ a^\frac{m}{n}& = \sqrt[n]{a^m}.\, \end{align} $$ Domain and range: y = f(x)
 * Domain, range
 * Domain: all x's (dependent var)
 * Range: all y (codomain, all corresponding values for each x in the domain)
