Study Notes
Pre-Calculus - Sequences & Series
- Sequences: Ordered lists of numbers, often separated by commas (...,). Sequences can be finite or infinite.
- Arithmetic Sequences: Each term is found by adding a constant value (common difference) to the previous term. Formula: An = a₁ + (n − 1)d where:
- n is the number of terms
- d is the common difference
- a₁ is the first term
- an is the last term
- Geometric Sequences: Each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant value (common ratio). Formula: An = a₁rn-1 where:
- n is the number of terms
- r is the common ratio (r ≠ 1)
- a₁ is the first term
- an is the last term
- Series: The sum of the terms in a sequence.
- Arithmetic Series: Sum Formula: Sn = n/2 (a₁+an) where:
- n is the number of terms
- a₁ is the first term
- an is the last term
- Geometric Series: Sum Formula: Sn = a₁ (1 - rn) / (1 - r) where:
- n is the number of terms
- r is the common ratio (r ≠ 1)
- a₁ is the first term
Binomial Expansion
- Binomial Expansion: Expands the power of a binomial (two-term polynomial). Example: (x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y².
- Pascal's Triangle: A triangular array of numbers where the numbers in each row are coefficients from binomial expansions. The first row contains only 1. The numbers are formed (1) + (1 +1 = 2) + (1+2+1 = 4). Used to determine the coefficients in the expansion of (x + y)n
- Binomial Theorem: A general formula for expanding (a + b)ⁿ, where: (a + b)ⁿ = Σ(k=0 to n) [n! / (k!(n-k)!) ] * a^(n-k) * b^k
- n is the exponent
- k starts from 0
- a and b are the terms
Angles and Unit Circle
- Standard Position: Vertex at origin, initial side on positive x-axis.
- Types of Angles: Acute (0° < a < 90°), right (a = 90°), obtuse (90° < a < 180°), straight (a = 180°).
- Degree Measure: Measured from 0° to 360°, representing fractions of a circle.
- Radian Measure: Measured in radians, a complete circle = 2π radians = 360°.
- Coterminal Angles: Angles that share the same initial and terminal sides.
- Reference Angle: The acute angle formed by the terminal side and the horizontal axis.
- Unit Circle: A circle centered at the origin with radius 1. The cosine and sine values of an angle are the x and y coordinates of the point on the unit circle.
- Trigonometric Functions: Relationships between angles and sides of a right-angled triangle. These include sine, cosine, tangent, and their reciprocals (csc, sec, cot).
Circular Functions
- Circular Functions: Functions that relate angles to coordinates on a unit circle.
- Relationships between Trig Functions: Relationships between sine, cosine, tangent and their reciproprocals (cosecant, secant, coltangent). Examples: sin θ = y/r, cos θ = x/r, tan θ = y/x.
- Trigonometric Function Values in Various Quadrants: Understanding the signs (positive or negative) of sine, cosine, and tangent in each quadrant.
- Important Note:* This summary assumes access to the included images and diagrams for better understanding of the material.
