Study Notes

Algebraic Formulas and Concepts

  • Quadratic Formula: ( \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} ) used to solve quadratic equations.
  • Slope: Represents the rate of change; calculated as ( \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} ).
  • Slope-Intercept Form: ( y = mx + b ) where ( m ) is the slope and ( b ) is the y-intercept.

Factoring and Algebraic Identities

  • Difference of Cubes: ( a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2) ).
  • Sum of Cubes: ( a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2) ).
  • Difference of Squares: ( a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b) ).
  • Perfect Square Trinomials:
    • ( a^2 - 2ab + b^2 = (a - b)^2 )
    • ( a^2 + 2ab + b^2 = (a + b)^2 ).

Algebraic Operations

  • Product of Sums: ( (a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd ).
  • Distributive Property: ( a(b + c) = ab + ac ).

Trigonometric Ratios

  • Sine Ratio: Given by the formula ( \text{opposite} ÷ \text{hypotenuse} ).
  • Cosine Ratio: Given by the formula ( \text{adjacent} ÷ \text{hypotenuse} ).
  • Tangent Ratio: Given by the formula ( \text{opposite} ÷ \text{adjacent} ).

Variation Types

  • Direct Variation: Defined by the equation ( y = kx ), where ( k ) is a constant.
  • Inverse Variation: Defined by the equation ( y = \frac{k}{x} ).

Linear Equation Forms

  • Point-Slope Form: ( y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) ) used to define linear equations.
  • Standard Form: Written as ( Ax + By = C ), with specific criteria for A, B, and C.
  • Characteristics of Solutions:
    • Infinitely Many Solutions: Same slope and y-intercept.
    • One Solution: Different slopes.
    • No Solution: Same slope, different y-intercepts.

Graphing Techniques

  • Graphing inequalities involves using dotted lines for ( < ) or ( > ) and solid lines for ( \geq ) or ( \leq ).
  • Shading direction based on inequality signs: upwards/right for ( \geq ) or ( > ), downwards/left for ( \leq ) or ( < ).

System of Equations Methods

  • Elimination Method: Involves adding or subtracting equations to remove a variable.
  • Substitution Method: Replacing a variable in one equation with an expression from another.

Geometric Area and Perimeter Formulas

  • Area of a Circle: ( \pi r^2 ).
  • Area of a Square: ( s^2 ) where ( s ) is the length of a side.
  • Area Formulas:
    • Triangle: ( \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} ).
    • Trapezoid: ( \frac{1}{2}(b_1 + b_2) \times h ).
  • Perimeter of Rectangles and Squares:
    • Rectangle: ( 2 \times \text{Length} + 2 \times \text{Width} ).
    • Square: ( 4s ).

Circle Properties

  • Definition: A set of points equidistant from a center point.
  • Radius: A line segment from the center to any point on the circle.
  • Diameter: The longest distance across the circle, twice the length of the radius.
  • Chord: A line segment connecting two points on the circle.
  • Sector: A "pie slice" of a circle defined by two radii and an arc.
  • Arc: A segment of the circumference connecting two points.
  • Central Angle: An angle whose vertex is located at the center of the circle.

Graph Transformations

  • Translation: Shifts the graph horizontally, vertically, or both, maintaining its shape and size.
