Verse of the Week
7 The law of the
LORD is perfect, restoring the soul;
The testimony of the LORD is
sure, making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of
the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the LORD
is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the
LORD is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the LORD are
true; they are righteous altogether.
10 They are more
desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of
the honeycomb. Psalm 19:7-10

o Deductive Reasoning (prove conclusively using logic or exhaustive possibilities) - Theorems
q Chapter
2 Review Number Sequences
o Arithmetic Sequences Common Difference (can be positive or negative)
o Geometric Sequences Common Ratio (can be greater than one or less than one)
o Binary Sequence specific case of a geometric sequence
o Power Sequences Squares, Square Roots, Cubes, Cube Roots

q Chapter
3 Review Functions and Their Graphs
o Definition of a Function
§ can be represented by a formula, a table or a graph
o Coordinate Graph (Rene Descartes) (x, y) coordinates
o Functions with line graphs (y = x)
o Functions with curved graphs (y =x2, y = x³, y = 1/x)
o Interpolation and Extrapolation
q Chapter
4 Review Large Numbers and Logarithms
o Exponent Math
§ na · nb = n(a + b)
§ na χ nb = n(a b)
§ (na)b = n(a * b)
§ n0 = 1
o Powers of Ten
§ Multiply by Ten: move decimal point to the right and add a zero
§ Divide by Ten: move decimal point to left and remove if zero
o Names of large numbers
§ million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, etc.
o Scientific Notation: a x 10b
§ coefficient a is at least 1 but less than 10
§ exponent b is an integer
o Logarithms shorthand way of multiplying and dividing large numbers using their exponents
§ Binary Logarithms use powers of 2
§ Decimal Logarithms use powers of 10 (convenient when using Scientific Notation)
o Exponential Functions (y = nx)
