Study Notes
Midpoint Formula
- Formula: ((x_1+x_2/2, y_1+y_2/2))
- Used to find the point that divides a line segment into two equal parts.
Distance Formula
- Formula: (d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2})
- Calculates the straight line distance between two points in a Cartesian plane.
Slope Formula
- Formula: (m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1})
- Determines the steepness or incline of a line, comparing changes in y and x.
Line Equation
- Formula: (y = mx + b)
- Represents a straight line where (m) is the slope and (b) is the y-intercept.
Reflection over x-axis
- Transformation: ((x, y) \rightarrow (x, -y))
- Inverts the y-coordinate, reflecting points across the x-axis.
Reflection over y-axis
- Transformation: ((x, y) \rightarrow (-x, y))
- Inverts the x-coordinate, reflecting points across the y-axis.
Reflection over y=x
- Transformation: ((x, y) \rightarrow (y, x))
- Swaps x and y coordinates, reflecting points across the line (y = x).
Reflection over y=-x
- Transformation: ((x, y) \rightarrow (-y, -x))
- Inverts both coordinates, reflecting points across the line (y = -x).
Reflection over origin
- Transformation: ((x, y) \rightarrow (-x, -y))
- Inverts both coordinates, reflecting points through the origin.
Reflection over h & k
- Transformation: ((x, y) \rightarrow (x + h, y + k))
- Moves points horizontally by (h) and vertically by (k).
Translation of h & k
- Definitions: (h) indicates horizontal movement, (k) indicates vertical movement.
- Shifts points in the Cartesian plane without changing their orientation.
Rotate 90 degrees
- Transformation: ((x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x))
- Rotates points 90 degrees counter-clockwise around the origin.
Rotate 180 degrees
- Transformation: ((x, y) \rightarrow (-x, -y))
- Rotates points 180 degrees, resulting in a direct inversion.
Rotate 270 degrees
- Transformation: ((x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x))
- Rotates points 270 degrees counter-clockwise or 90 degrees clockwise.
Rotate -90 degrees
- Transformation: ((x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x))
- Equivalent to rotating 270 degrees counter-clockwise.
Rotate -180 degrees
- Transformation: ((x, y) \rightarrow (-x, -y))
- Same effect as rotating 180 degrees.
Rotate -270 degrees
- Transformation: ((x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x))
- Rotates points 90 degrees clockwise.
Dilation
- Transformation: ((x, y) \rightarrow (kx, ky))
- Scales points from the origin by a factor (k), altering the size while maintaining shape.
Sine (SOH)
- Relationship: (\sin A= \frac{a}{c}, \sin B= \frac{b}{c})
- Inverse sine function: (\sin^{-1}) used to find angle measures.
Cosine (CAH)
- Relationship: (\cos A= \frac{b}{c}, \cos B= \frac{a}{c})
- Inverse cosine function: (\cos^{-1}) utilized for angle calculations.
Tangent (TOA)
- Relationship: (\tan A= \frac{a}{b}, \tan B= \frac{b}{a})
- Inverse tangent function: (\tan^{-1}) helps to determine angle measures.
Pythagorean Theorem
- Formula: (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
- Relates the lengths of the sides of a right triangle, where (c) is the hypotenuse.
Quadratic Formula
- Formula: (x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a})
- Used to find the roots of a quadratic equation in the form (ax^2 + bx + c = 0).
