Equation of a Line (Point-Slope Form)

The equation of a line in the form y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Equation of a Line (Two-Point Form)

The equation of a line in the form (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = m, where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.

Exponent Rule (Multiplication)

When multiplying exponents with the same base, add their powers: X^m * X^n = X^(m+n)

Exponent Rule (Division)

When dividing exponents with the same base, subtract their powers: X^m / X^n = X^(m-n)

Study Notes

Equation of a Line

  • One point and slope: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where m = slope
  • Two points: Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) , then use y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where m = slope

Exponents

  • xᵃ xᵇ = x^(a+b)
  • xᵃ / xᵇ = x^(a-b)
  • (a.b)ⁿ = aⁿ . bⁿ
  • x⁻ⁿ = 1/xⁿ
  • xⁿ = 1/x⁻ⁿ
  • √xᵐ = x⁽ᵐ/ⁿ⁾

Solving Quadratic Equations

  • ax² + bx + c = 0
  • x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a

Quadratic Expressions

  • Standard Form: ax² + bx + c, where c = vertical intercept
  • Factored Form: a(x - r)(x - s), where r and s are zeroes
  • Vertex Form: a(x - h)² + k, where (h, k) = vertex
  • If a > 0, the parabola opens up. If a < 0, the parabola opens down.

Logarithms

  • ln(x) = logₑ(x)
  • log(a.b) = log(a) + log(b)
  • log(a/b) = log(a) - log(b)
  • log(aᵗ) = t.log(a)
  • logₐ(a) = 1
  • logₐ(1) = 0
  • log₁₀(10ⁿ) = n
  • ln(eˣ) = x
  • logₓ(y) = z means xᶻ = y

Exponential Functions

  • Continuous Growth: Q = a.eᵏᵗ (where k = continuous growth rate, a = initial value)
  • Growth: Q = a.bᵗ (where a = initial value, b = growth factor = r + 1, r = growth rate)
  • Decay: Q = a.bᵗ (where a = initial value, b = remaining percentage (or fraction), b = growth factor = r + 1, r = growth rate = b - 1)
