Study Notes

Linear Equations in Two Variables

A linear equation in two variables is an equation that can be written in the form ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are constants, and x and y are variables.
The graph of a linear equation in two variables is a straight line.
The solution to a linear equation in two variables is an ordered pair (x, y) that satisfies the equation.
Infinite solutions exist for linear equations.
The slope of a line can be calculated using two points on the line.
The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Parallel lines have the same slope.
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.
Systems of linear equations can be solved graphically or algebraically.
Solving graphically involves finding the intersection point of the lines.
Solving algebraically involves methods like substitution or elimination.

Coordinate Geometry

Coordinate geometry is a branch of mathematics that uses coordinate systems to study geometric figures.
The coordinate plane is a two-dimensional plane formed by the intersection of two perpendicular number lines, the x-axis and the y-axis.
Each point on the coordinate plane is uniquely identified by an ordered pair of coordinates (x, y), where x represents the horizontal position and y represents the vertical position.
The distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) in a coordinate plane can be calculated using the distance formula: √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²).
Midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2).
The concept of a locus is important in coordinate geometry; it is the set of all points satisfying a given condition.
Lines and curves can be described using equations in a coordinate system.

Lines and Angles

Lines are one-dimensional figures that extend infinitely in both directions.
Angles are formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint.
Angles are measured in degrees or radians.
Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is 90 degrees.
Supplementary angles are two angles whose sum is 180 degrees.
Vertical angles are a pair of opposite angles formed by intersecting lines.
Transversal is a line that intersects two or more other lines.
Angles formed by transversals intersecting parallel lines have specific relationships, including congruent and supplementary angles.
Parallel lines have the same slope when plotted on a coordinate plane.

Polynomials

A polynomial is an algebraic expression consisting of variables and coefficients, involving only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables.
Polynomials can have one or more variables.
Examples of polynomials: 4x³ + 2x² - x + 7 , 5y²
Polynomials are classified according to the degree and the number of terms.
Degree of the polynomial is defined as the highest exponent of the variable present.
Adding and subtracting polynomials involves combining like terms.
Multiplying polynomials uses the distributive property.
Dividing polynomials can be performed using long division or synthetic division methods.

Heron's Formula

Heron's formula is a formula for calculating the area of a triangle when the lengths of all three sides are known.
It's used for finding the area of a triangle when sides a, b, and c are provided.
Heron's Formula requires first calculating the semiperimeter (s) which is (a + b + c) / 2.
The area of the triangle is then calculated using the formula: Area = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)) , where 's' is the semiperimeter and a, b, and c are the lengths of the three sides (a, b, and c).
