    Study Notes

    General Mathematics

    • Real numbers include all numbers on the number line, including rational and irrational numbers.
    • Subsets of real numbers include integers (positive, negative, or zero whole numbers), rational numbers (expressed as a ratio of two integers), and irrational numbers (non-repeating, non-terminating decimals).
    • Operations on real numbers include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Division by zero is undefined.

    Algebra

    • Linear equations have the general form ax + b = 0, solved by isolating the variable.
    • Linear inequalities have the general form ax + b > 0 or < 0, solved similarly but reversing the inequality sign if multiplying or dividing by a negative number.
    • Quadratic equations have the general form ax² + bx + c = 0. These are solved by factoring or the quadratic formula, x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a.
    • Systems of equations can be solved using substitution or elimination methods to find the variables.

    Geometry

    • Triangles can be categorized by their sides (equilateral, isosceles, scalene) and angles (right, acute, obtuse). Common triangle properties: the sum of angles in a triangle equals 180 degrees; the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles (a² + b² = c²).
    • Polygons are closed figures with three or more sides. The sum of interior angles of an n-sided polygon is (n-2) × 180°.

    Coordinate Geometry

    • Distance formula: d = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²).
    • Midpoint formula: M = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2).
    • Slope of a line: m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁).
    • Equation of a line (slope-intercept form): y = mx + b.
    • Equation of a line (point-slope form): y - y₁ = m(x - x₁).

    Trigonometry

    • Radian measure is used to measure angles based on the radius of a circle. One full revolution (360°) equals 2π radians.
    • Trigonometric identities: Basic identities like sin²(x) + cos²(x)= 1; formulas for angle sum and differences of sine/cosine; double angle formulas (sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x), etc.)
    • Laws of sines and cosines to solve triangles.

    Business Mathematics

    • Simple interest: I = P × r × t
    • Compound interest: A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
    • Present value of an ordinary annuity: PV = R × [1 – (1 + r)^(-n)] / r
    • Future value of an ordinary annuity: FV = R × [(1 + r)^n – 1] / r
