Study Notes

Algebra

Distributive property: ( a(b + c) = ab + ac )
Expansion of squares:
- ( (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 )
- ( (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2 )
Difference of squares: ( a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b) )

Quadratic Equations

Standard form: ( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 )
Solutions using the quadratic formula:
- ( x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} )
Completing the square for solving quadratics.

Properties of Circles

Angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference.
The geometrical relationship between angles in a quadrilateral:
- Opposite angles sum to ( 180^\circ ) (e.g., ( \angle A + \angle C = 180^\circ )).

Operations with Exponents

Rules of exponents:
- ( (a^m)^n = a^{mn} )
- ( a^0 = 1 )
- ( a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} )

Simple and Compound Interest

Simple Interest calculation: ( i = \frac{P \times r \times t}{100} )
Compound Interest formula:
- ( A = P(1 + \frac{r}{100})^n )

Measurement Conversions

Speed conversions:
- ( \text{km/hr} \times \frac{5}{18} = \text{m/sec} )
- ( \text{m/sec} \times \frac{18}{5} = \text{km/hr} )

Geometry

Pythagorean theorem: ( c^2 = a^2 + b^2 )
Sum of exterior angles in polygons: equal to ( 360^\circ )
Interior angles sum: ( (n - 2) \times 180^\circ ) for n-sided polygons.

Trigonometry

Mnemonic for trigonometric functions: TOA (Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent), CAH (Cosine = Adjacent/Hypotenuse), SOH (Sine = Opposite/Hypotenuse).

Vectors

Triangular law of vector addition:
- Combined vectors can be expressed using their components.

Statistical Measures

Mode: the most frequently occurring number in a data set.
Median: the middle value when numbers are arranged in ascending order.

Probability Concepts

Exclusive events: cannot occur simultaneously; use ( p(A \text{ or } B) = p(A) + p(B) ).
Independent events: can occur simultaneously; use ( p(A \text{ and } B) = p(A) \times p(B) ).
