Flashcards 2022-02-07 What is the first step in using the decimal search method?? Rearranging to get 0 on one side. How can you find a good estimate to start with for decimal search?? Draw a sketch. What should you say when an identifying a root using decimal search?? “Gee wiz! The function $f(x)$ is continuous in the interval $[a, b]$ and there is a change of sign, so a root lies near $x$”. How would you show that $1.

Advanced Problems in Mathematics is a series of books designed to help students work through STEP exam material. Like with [[UKMT Questions]]N and [[MAT Questions]]N, the idea is not to use flashcards to memorise the answers to questions but to help spot common patterns in order to help with problem solving.

Flashcards 2021-11-25 How would you write the probability that $B$ occurs, given that $A$ has already occurred?? $$ P(B|A) $$ What is true about $P(A|B)$ for independent events?? $$ P(A|B) = P(A|B') = P(A) $$ How would you calculate $P(A | B)$?? $$ \frac{0.15}{0.15 + 0.25} $$ How would you calculate $P(A | A \cup B)$?? $$ \frac{0.15}{0.4 + 0.15 + 0.25} $$ How would you calculate $P(A' | B')$?? $$ \frac{0.2}{1-0.15-0.25} $$ Why do you have to be careful dealing with conditional probabilities involving things like “given $B'$”?

Flashcards 2021-11-20 What is the formula for the maximum friction?? $$ F_\text{max} = \mu R $$ What is $\mu$ when talking about friction?? The coefficient of friction. What is $\mu$ if a surface is described as “smooth”?? $$ 0 $$ If a block is being pushed with a $10\text{N}$ force but there is a $20\text{N}$ max friction, what will happen?? The block will not move. What is the situation called when a block is being pushed with a $20\text{N}$ force but there is a $20\text{N}$ max friction?
