Algebra

  • Equations and Inequalities
    • Linear equations have the form ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are constants
    • Quadratic equations have the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants
    • Methods for solving linear and quadratic equations include substitution, elimination, and the quadratic formula
    • Graphing linear and quadratic equations involves plotting points on the coordinate plane
  • Functions
    • The domain of a function is the set of input values, while the range is the set of output values
    • Composition of functions involves combining functions by applying one function to the output of another
    • Inverse functions "undo" each other, and can be used to solve equations
    • Graphing functions helps identify maxima and minima

Geometry

  • Points, Lines, and Planes
    • The midpoint formula calculates the midpoint of a line segment: M = ((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2)
    • The distance formula calculates the distance between two points: √((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)
    • The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
    • The equation of a line can be written in point-slope or slope-intercept form
    • Parallel lines have the same slope, while perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals
  • Triangles and Quadrilaterals
    • Congruent triangles have equal corresponding sides and angles, while similar triangles have proportional corresponding sides
    • There are different types of triangles, including isosceles, right, and equilateral

Calculus (Introduction)

  • Limits and Continuity
    • The basic limit properties include the sum and product rules, and the squeeze theorem
    • Continuity of functions is important for many calculus concepts
    • The Intermediate Value Theorem states that a continuous function on a closed interval takes on every value between its maximum and minimum
  • Derivatives
    • The power rule is a basic derivative rule, stating that if f(x) = x^n, then f'(x) = nx^(n-1)
    • The product rule states that if f(x) = g(x) * h(x), then f'(x) = g'(x) * h(x) + g(x) * h'(x)
    • Geometrically, derivatives represent the slope of a tangent line to a curve
