Geometric Sequence:

an = a1 ∙ rn – 1 ; a1 = first term, r = common ratio

Arithmetic Sequence:

an = a1 + ( n – 1) d; a1 = first term, d = common ratio,

n = position of nth term

Negative Exponent Rule:

1
a-m = ; a≠0
𝑎𝑚

Scientific Notation:

a x 10n ; 0 < a < 10, n = integer

Number of Hamilton Circuits in a Complete Graph, when n = number of vertices = ( n – 1) !

Loan’s Future Value (Simple Interest), A = future value, P = principal,

r = simple interest rate, t = time, in years, invested:

A = 𝑃 ( 1 + 𝑟𝑡)

Pairwise Comparison Method: C = number of comparisons, n = number of candidates:
