Study Notes
Quadratic Equations
- A quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of degree two, in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants.
- The solutions to a quadratic equation can be found using the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a.
- Quadratic equations can also be solved by factoring, completing the square, or graphing.
- Applications of quadratic equations include:
- Projectile motion
- Optimization problems
- Electrical circuits
Trigonometry
- Trigonometry is the study of triangles, particularly those with right angles (90 degrees).
- Key concepts:
- Angles: degrees, radians, and conversions between them
- Trigonometric functions:
- Sine (sin): opposite side / hypotenuse
- Cosine (cos): adjacent side / hypotenuse
- Tangent (tan): opposite side / adjacent side
- Identities: Pythagorean, sum, and difference formulas
- Applications of trigonometry include:
- Triangulation
- Wave analysis
- Navigation and surveying
Circles
- A circle is a set of points equidistant from a fixed point, called the center.
- Key concepts:
- Radius (r): distance from the center to the circle
- Diameter (d): distance across the circle, passing through the center
- Circumference (C): distance around the circle, C = 2πr = πd
- Arcs and chords
- Applications of circles include:
- Geometry and spatial reasoning
- Engineering and architecture
- Analytic geometry
Surface Areas and Volumes
- Surface area: the total area of a 3D object's surface
- Volume: the amount of 3D space inside a 3D object
- Formulas for common shapes:
- Sphere: surface area = 4πr^2, volume = (4/3)πr^3
- Cylinder: surface area = 2πr(h + r), volume = πr^2h
- Rectangular prism: surface area = 2(lw + lh + wh), volume = lwh
- Applications of surface areas and volumes include:
- Architecture and design
- Engineering and physics
- Computer graphics and game development
Quadratic Equations
- Quadratic equations are polynomials of degree two, with the general form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants.
- The quadratic formula solves quadratic equations: x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a.
- Factoring, completing the square, and graphing are alternative methods for solving quadratic equations.
- Applications of quadratic equations include:
- Modeling projectile motion
- Solving optimization problems
- Analyzing electrical circuits
Trigonometry
- Trigonometry involves the study of right triangles, including angles, trigonometric functions, and identities.
- Key trigonometric functions include sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan), defined as:

- tan = opposite side / adjacent side
- Trigonometric identities include the Pythagorean, sum, and difference formulas.
- Trigonometry is applied in:
- Triangulation
- Wave analysis
- Navigation and surveying
