There is plenty of public transportation close to BHS, either by BART or by AC Transit. 511.org has a trip planner to help figure it out. Remember to walk safely and courteously in downtown Berkeley: use crosswalks and obey traffic signals. Always make eye contact with drivers at intersections without traffic signals. Students wishing to lock bikes at BHS should arrive early and always WALK BIKES ON CAMPUS. There are bike racks in the BHS courtyard near the D and C buildings and behind the M building. (See rack loca- tions on the map on the back cover of this planner.)

ID Cards Every student receives a student I.D. card at the beginning of the school year. You must carry your I.D. card at all times on campus. And you must have an I.D. card to be admitted to school functions and college testing sessions. If you lose your I.D. card, get a replacement for $10 from the Counseling Center in D141 during lunch or after school.

Positive + Positive = Positive: 5 + 4 = 9 Negative + Negative = Negative: (-7) + (-2) = - 9 Properties of Addition and Multiplication Sum of a negative and a positive number: Use the Commutative property (addition): a + b = b + a sign of the larger number and subtract Commutative property(multiplication): ab = ba (-7) + 4 = -3, -36 + (-9) = -45, (-3) + 7 = 4 Associative property(addition): a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c Subtracting Rules: Associative property (multiplication): a(bc) = (ab)c Negative - Positive = Negative: (- 5) - 3 = -5 + (-3) = -8 Distributive property (multiplication over addition): Positive - Negative = Positive + Positive = Positive: a(b + c) = ab + ac 5 - (-3) = 5 + 3 = 8 Distributive property (multiplication over subtrac- Negative - Negative = Negative + Positive = Use the tion): a(b – c) = ab – ac sign of the larger number and subtract (Change Additive identity: a + 0 = a double negatives to a positive) Multiplicative identity: a . 1 = a (-5) - (-3) = (-5) + 3 = -2 (-3) - (-5) = (-3) + 5 = 2 Additive inverse: a + (-a) = 0 Multiplying Rules: Multiplicative inverse:a . ⅟a = 1, where a ≠ 0 Positive x Positive = Positive: 3 x 2 = 6 Zero property: a . 0 = 0 Negative x Negative = Positive: (-2) x (-8) = 16 Order of Operations Negative x Positive = Negative: (-3) x 4 = -12 When a mathematics problem has many tasks to be Positive x Negative = Negative: 3 x (-4) = -12 completed, the correct result can only be achieved Dividing Rules: by doing the arithmetic in the right order. These Positive ÷ Positive = Positive: 12 ÷ 3 = 4 rules are called “order of operations.” Use the acro- nym PEMDAS to remember the order! Negative ÷ Negative = Positive: (-12) ÷ (-3) = 4 P: Do all operations within parentheses first. Negative ÷ Positive = Negative: (-12) ÷ 3 = -4 E: Do powers (exponents) and roots. Positive ÷ Negative = Negative: 12 ÷ (-3) = -4

• Pre-image: The original figure given before any transformations take place. The anchor points on the pre-image are usually labeled with letters: A, B, C, etc. • Image: The figure after the transformation(s) takes place. The anchor points on the image are usually labeled with letters and “primes”: A’, B’, C’, etc. (A’ is said “A prime”)

Translation:Translations move points the same distance and direction along lines that are parallel to each other.

• Translate ___ units up/down and ___ units left/right • Translate (x±___, y±___) □□ ∆ABC was translated 5 units left and 3 units up to ∆A’B’C’. □□ OR Translate ∆ABC (x-5,y+3).

Rotation:Rotations move points the same direction along concentric circles and through the same angle of rotation.

• Rotate ____ degrees clockwise/counterclockwise around the point (___, ___) □□ ∆ABC was rotated 180 ̊ counterclockwise* around the point (0, 0) to get ∆A’B’C’. *When you rotate 180 ̊ you will get the same image if you rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. So you could have said clockwise in this case.

Reflection: Reflections move points across a specified line of reflection so that the line of reflection is the per- pendicular bisector of each line segment connecting corresponding pre-image and image points.

• Reflect over the line ______□□ Quad WXYZ was reflected over the y-axis, the line y = 0.

Two special right triangles frequently used in trigo- Although trigonometry today goes far beyond tri- nometry: angles, most people first learn about trigonometry 30-60-90⁰ Triangle in connection with right triangles. By custom, if the vertices of a right triangle are A, B, and C, the right sin 30° = 1 sin 60° = √3 angle of the triangle ABC is at C. 2 2 The sides of a triangle are often labeled with lower- cos 30° = √ 3 cos 60° = 1 case letters that correspond to the capital letters of 2 2 1 the opposite vertex. tan 30° = tan 60° = √ 3 √3 For example, the side opposite the angle whose vertex is C, known as ∠C, is labled c. An- other name for side c is hypot- 45-45-90⁰ Triangle enuse, which means the side sin 45° = 1 opposite the right angle. Sides √2 a and b can also be named in terms of the angles of cos 45° = 1 the triangle. √2 tan 45° = 1

Trigonomic (trig) Functions - of an angle can be used to find the measures of the angles and the lengths of the sides of the right triangles. There are 6 trig functions that are ratios. Here are 3: sine of an angle = sin A = opposite leg hypotenuse cosine of an angle = cos A = adjacent leg hypotenuse

tangent of an angle = tan A = opposite leg adjacent leg
