新gre数学重要考点:Mode Mode The mode of a set of numbers is the number that repeats the most in the set. Example: Mode of the set {1,2,3,2,4,5} is 2. The set of numbers {1,2,4,1,2,3,6,8}has two modes:1 and 2. Remember: There can be more than one number with the highest repeat count. In that case all of them with the highest repeat count are modes. 新gre数学重要考点:Dividing Polynomial by Monomial Dividing Polynomial by Monomial To divide a polynomial by a monomial, use distributive law to separate the numerator and reduce each term. Example: If we divide by 2x, we get /=4x2/-6x/=2x-3. Remember: Do not forget to divide all the terms. If the denominator is a higher order polynimial, do not distribute the denominator. 新gre数学重要考点:Sum of Arithmetic Progression The sum of n-numbers of an arithmetic progression is given by S=nxdn/2 where x is the first number and d is the constant increment. example: sum of first 10 positive odd numbers:101+2109/2=10+90=100 |
