- Distance from the object to the mirror is exactly the same as the image to the mirror
- The object-image line is perpendicular to the mirror surface
- Images are upright but flipped horizontally

Arithmetic Sequence
Last modified on 2013-08-17
A Sequence is a set of things (usually numbers) that are in order.
In an Arithmetic Sequence the difference between one term and the next is a constant.
Example: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, ...
This sequence has a difference of 3 between each number.
Suppose in an arithmetic sequence: More...
Division, Quotient and Remainder
Last modified on 2013-03-05
A "quotient" is the result of a division problem. For example: For 6/3, "2" is the quotient, 6 is the dividend, and 3 is the divisor.
Sometime when dividing, there is something left over, it is called the remainder. For example: For 7/3, "2" is the quotient, 7 is the dividend, 3 is the divisor, and "1" is the remainder. 7/3 = 2 R 1.
dividend = divisor * quotient + remainder
For example:
7 = 3 * 2 + 1

Average, Mean, and Median

Arithmetic mean (average) = (X1+X2+X3+...+Xn) / n
Geometric mean = (X1 * X2 * X3 * ... * XN)1/N
Median refers to the middle number (in a sorted list of numbers).
To find the median, place the numbers you are given in value order and find the middle number. More...
Tree Planting Problem
Last modified on 2012-09-26
Along a yard, T trees are planted at equal distances and the yard is divided into S segments:
If a tree is planted at each end of the yard, then T = S + 1
If a tree is planted at only 1 end of the yard, then T = S
If no tree is planted at the end of the yard, then T = S -1
