SSAT UPPER LEVEL MATH

MODE - answer-The most frequently occurring number Slope - answer-Rise / Run (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) Ex: Find the slope of the line that runs through the points (4,6) and (8,10). (10 - 6) / (8 - 4) = 4 / 4 = 1 The line has a slope of 1 Remember: Positive slope inclines (travels upward) from left to right and negative slope declines (travels downward) from left to right. USE YOUR ANSWERS - answer-Whenever you are stuck, let the answers choices help you. Often you can plug them in and see which one works! How many degrees in a right angle? - answer-90 degrees How many total degrees in a triangle? - answer-180 degrees How many total degrees in a parallelogram? Hint: parallelogram = 2 triangles - answer-360 degrees Range - answer-The greatest value minus the smallest value SSAT Special Functions (weird symbol problems) - answer-Don't panic! They will define the function for you. All you have to do is plug in the numbers for the variables. Ex: a £ b = a + 5b What is the value of 6 £ 1 ? 6 £ 1 = 6 + (5)(1) 6 £ 1 = 6 + 5 6 £ 1 = 11 Combined average problems - answer-Break into two separate average equations
