1
Simile versus metaphor
A simile compares with like or as; a metaphor states that one thing is another.
2
Dramatic irony
The audience knows something important that a character does not.
3
Verbal irony
A speaker says the opposite of what is meant.
4
Foreshadowing
Early hints about events that will happen later in a story.
5
Pathos, ethos, logos
Appeals to emotion, to credibility and to logic and evidence.
6
Comma splice
Two complete sentences joined by only a comma; fix with a semicolon, a period or a conjunction.
7
Parallel structure
Items in a list share the same grammatical form, such as three -ing phrases.
8
Transformation: y = f(x - h) + k
Translates the graph h units right and k units up.
9
Transformation: y = a f(bx)
Vertical stretch by factor a; horizontal stretch by factor 1/b; negative values reflect.
10
Log laws
log(MN) = log M + log N; log(M/N) = log M - log N; log(M^p) = p log M.
11
Exponential growth formula
A = A0 (1 + r)^t for a fixed rate r per period; half-life uses A = A0 (1/2)^(t/h).
12
Remainder theorem
The remainder when P(x) is divided by x - a is P(a).
13
Factor theorem
x - a is a factor of P(x) exactly when P(a) = 0.
14
Period of y = sin(bx)
2 pi divided by the absolute value of b.
15
Pythagorean identity
sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1.
16
Double-angle identity for sine
sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x.
17
Permutation versus combination
Permutations count ordered selections nP r = n!/(n-r)!; combinations ignore order nC r = n!/(r!(n-r)!).
18
Arrangements with repeated items
n! divided by the factorial of each repeat count, such as 6!/(3! 2!) for BANANA.
19
Resting potential of a neuron
About -70 mV, kept by a pump that moves 3 Na+ out and 2 K+ in.
20
Action potential sequence
Depolarization as Na+ enters, repolarization as K+ leaves, then return to rest.
21
Negative feedback in the thyroid axis
High thyroxine inhibits TRH and TSH release, which lowers thyroxine.
22
Roles of FSH and LH
FSH starts follicle and sperm development; LH triggers ovulation and testosterone production.
23
Meiosis I versus meiosis II
Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes; meiosis II separates sister chromatids.
24
Central dogma
DNA is transcribed to mRNA, and mRNA is translated to a polypeptide at a ribosome.
25
Density-dependent factor
A limiting factor that acts more strongly when a population is crowded, such as disease or competition.
