Study Notes

Slope-Intercept Form

Equation is expressed as y = mx + b.
m represents the slope of the line.
b indicates the y-intercept where the line crosses the y-axis.

Direct Variation

Represented by the equation y = kx, where k is a constant.

Slope Calculation

Formula for the slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Circle Measurements

Circumference (C) can be calculated using C = 2πr (radius) or C = πd (diameter).
Area (A) of a circle is given by A = πr².

Triangle and Rectangle Measurements

Area of a triangle is calculated using A = 1/2 * base (b) * height (h).
Area of a rectangle or parallelogram is A = base (b) * height (h).

Trapezoid Area

The area of a trapezoid can be found using A = 1/2 * (b1 + b2) * height (h), where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two parallel sides.

Prism and Cylinder Surface Areas

Lateral surface area of a prism is S = Perimeter of base (P) * height (h).
For a cylinder, lateral surface area is S = 2πr * height (h).

Total Surface Area Calculations

Total surface area of a prism is S = Ph + 2B, where B is the area of the base.
Total surface area of a cylinder is S = 2πrh + 2πr².

Volume Calculations

Volume of a prism is calculated using V = Base area (B) * height (h).
Volume of a pyramid is V = 1/3 * Base area (B) * height (h).
Volume of a sphere is given by V = 4/3πr³.

Pythagorean Theorem

Used to determine the relationship between the sides of a right triangle with the formula a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse.

Interest Calculations

Simple interest (I) is calculated using I = Principal (P) * rate (r) * time (t).
Compound interest can be represented by the formula A = P(1 + r)ᵗ, where t is the number of compounding periods.
