- Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.
- Graphing: Finding the x-intercept (where the line crosses the x-axis) and the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis) helps graph the equation.
Quadratic Equations
- Form: ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0.
-
Solutions: Can be found using:
- Factoring: Expressing the quadratic equation as a product of two linear factors.
- Completing the square: Manipulating the equation to create a perfect square trinomial.
- Quadratic formula: ( x = \frac{-b ± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} )
- Graph: Represents a parabola that opens up or down depending on the sign of the coefficient a.
Coordinate Geometry
- Coordinate Plane: A plane formed by two perpendicular number lines (x-axis and y-axis).
- Points: Represented as (x, y), where x is the horizontal coordinate and y is the vertical coordinate.
- Distance Formula: ( d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} ) used to find the distance between two points.
- Midpoint Formula: ( M = \left( \frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2} \right) ) used to locate the midpoint of a line segment.
Trigonometry
-
Basic Ratios:
- Sine (sin): Defined as the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle.
- Cosine (cos): Defined as the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle.
- Tangent (tan): Defined as the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side in a right triangle.
- Pythagorean Identity: ( sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1 )
- Unit Circle: A circle with a radius of 1 used to illustrate and visualize periodic behavior of trigonometric functions.
