    Study Notes

    Trigonometry

    Angles and Triangles

    • Angles can be measured in degrees, radians, or gradians
    • Triangles can be classified as right-angled, acute-angled, or obtuse-angled
    • Pythagorean Identity: sin²(A) + cos²(A) = 1

    Trigonometric Ratios

    • Sine (sin): opposite side / hypotenuse
    • Cosine (cos): adjacent side / hypotenuse
    • Tangent (tan): opposite side / adjacent side
    • Cotangent (cot): adjacent side / opposite side
    • Secant (sec): hypotenuse / opposite side
    • Cosecant (csc): hypotenuse / adjacent side

    Identities and Formulas

    • Sum and Difference Formulas:
      • sin(A + B) = sin(A)cos(B) + cos(A)sin(B)
      • cos(A + B) = cos(A)cos(B) - sin(A)sin(B)
    • Double Angle Formulas:
      • sin(2A) = 2sin(A)cos(A)
      • cos(2A) = cos²(A) - sin²(A)
    • Half Angle Formulas:
      • sin(A/2) = ±√((1 - cos(A))/2)
      • cos(A/2) = ±√((1 + cos(A))/2)

    Statistics

    Descriptive Statistics

    • Measures of Central Tendency:
      • Mean (μ): average value of a dataset
      • Median (M): middle value of a dataset when arranged in order
      • Mode: most frequently occurring value in a dataset
    • Measures of Variability:
      • Range: difference between the largest and smallest values
      • Interquartile Range (IQR): difference between the 75th and 25th percentiles
      • Variance (σ²): average of the squared differences from the mean
      • Standard Deviation (σ): square root of the variance

    Inferential Statistics

    • Hypothesis Testing:
      • Null Hypothesis (H0): statement of no significant difference or relationship
      • Alternative Hypothesis (H1): statement of significant difference or relationship
    • Confidence Intervals:
      • Interval estimate of a population parameter
      • Margin of Error (ME): maximum amount by which the sample statistic may differ from the population parameter
    • Types of Errors:
      • Type I Error (α): rejecting a true null hypothesis
      • Type II Error (β): failing to reject a false null hypothesis

    Trigonometry

    Angles and Triangles

    • Angles can be measured in three units: degrees, radians, or gradians
    • Triangles are classified into three types: right-angled, acute-angled, and obtuse-angled
    • The Pythagorean Identity is a fundamental concept: sin²(A) + cos²(A) = 1

    Trigonometric Ratios

    • Sine (sin) is the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse
    • Cosine (cos) is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse
    • Tangent (tan) is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side
    • Cotangent (cot) is the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side
    • Secant (sec) is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the opposite side
    • Cosecant (csc) is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the adjacent side

    Identities and Formulas

    • Sum and Difference Formulas for sine and cosine:
      • sin(A + B) = sin(A)cos(B) + cos(A)sin(B)
      • cos(A + B) = cos(A)cos(B) - sin(A)sin(B)
    • Double Angle Formulas for sine and cosine:
      • sin(2A) = 2sin(A)cos(A)
      • cos(2A) = cos²(A) - sin²(A)
    • Half Angle Formulas for sine and cosine:
      • sin(A/2) = ±√((1 - cos(A))/2)
      • cos(A/2) = ±√((1 + cos(A))/2)

      • Standard Deviation (σ) is the square root of the variance

    Inferential Statistics

    • Hypothesis Testing:
      • Null Hypothesis (H0) states no significant difference or relationship
      • Alternative Hypothesis (H1) states significant difference or relationship
    • Confidence Intervals:
      • Interval estimate of a population parameter
      • Margin of Error (ME) is the maximum amount by which the sample statistic may differ from the population parameter
    • Types of Errors:
      • Type I Error (α) occurs when a true null hypothesis is rejected
