SAT and ACT preparation begin with a comprehensive assessment and a very targeted customized approach. Previous years' tests are easily accessed and students can drill on their own. Value is added by identifying those concepts that an individual student has not fully grasped. Preparation is ideal when it includes more than test tips but rather a reinforcement of subject matter that includes full explanations.


Algebra and Geometry lessons are offered as a means to keep current with classroom topics or as a preparatory class before school begins. Help is also offered on an ad hoc basis as needed and is often free of charge.

THE IMAGNARY NUMBER i


The square root of 4 is that number when multiplied by itself = 4.

2 times 2 = 4

The square root of minus 1 is equal to i, the mathematical symbol for an imaginary number. There is no number when multiplied by itself that  = minus 1 but mathematicians decided it needed to be accounted for nonetheless and hence the symbol i. i squared = minus 1

Thomas L. asked for help with this SAT question

  

Juan purchased an antique that had a value of $200 at the time of purchase. Each year, the value of the antique is estimated to increase 10% over its value the previous year. The estimated value of the antique, in dollars, 2 years after purchase can be represented by the expression 200a, where a is a constant. What is the value of a ?


The operant word in this question is that a is a constant, a number not a formula or a variable.

At the end of the first year the antique was worth $200 plus 10% - this can be written as 200 times .1 plus 200 or more simply 200 times 1.1

At the end of the second year the antique was worth 10 percent more than the end of the first year


End of first year = 200 times 1.1

End of second year = 200 times 1.1 times 1.1  (A x B x C) is the same as (B x C x A)

1.1 times 1.1 = 1.21 The answer is 1.21
