The Circle Formula - ANS-(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r² Where (a,b) is the centre and (x,y) is any point on the circle. The Discriminant - ANS-b² - 4ac Where 0 gives a tangent (repeated root);
0 gives two real roots; < 0 gives no real roots; d²y/dx² > 0 = minimum point SUVAT - ANS-v = u + at s = ut + 0.5at² v² = u² + 2as s = vt - 0.5at² s = 0.5t(u + v) Product Rule - ANS-dy/dx = u(dv/dx) + v(du/dx) Quotient Rule - ANS-dy/dx = (v(du/dx) - u(dv/dx)) / v² Where the original equation is y = u/v. Chain Rule - ANS-dy/dx = (dy/dt)(dt/dx) Where t can be any variable. The Trapezium Rule - ANS-AREA = 0.5(Width of strips)(FirstHeight + 2(Σ Middle Heights) + FinalHeight) Trigonometric Differentiations - ANS-dSinθ/dx = Cosθ dCosθ/dx = -Sinθ dTanθ/dx = Sec²θ Trigonometric Identities - ANS-Sinθ/Cosθ = Tanθ Cosθ/Sinθ = Cotθ Cos²θ + Sin²θ = 1 Sinθ = Cos(90 - θ) Cosθ = Sin(90 - θ) Trig Derivations - ANS-cotθ = 1/tanθ secθ = 1/cosθ cosecθ = 1/sinθ sec²θ = 1 + tan²θ cosec²θ = 1 +cot²θ R and α - ANS-Asinx + Bcosx = Rsin(x+a)
Asinx - Bcosx = Rsin(x-a) Acosx + Bsinx = Rsin(x-a) Acosx - Bsinx = Rsin(x+a) R = √[A² + B²] a = arctan(B/A) Graph Transformations - ANS-af(x) if a > 1 increase y scale (higher loops) (neg. flip x axis) f(ax) if a > 1 decrease x scale (more loops) (neg. flip y axis) f(x+a) move graph further left f(x)+a move graph higher Domain and Range - ANS-Domain: -1 < x < 1 values allowed to be put into the function Range: -3 < f(x) < 3 values you get out of the function Even Function - ANS-Graph is symmetrical with respect to the y-axis; f(x) = f(-x) Odd Function - ANS-Graph is symmetrical with respect to the origin; f(-x)=-f(x) Periodic Function - ANS-Function whose graph has a repeating pattern Differentiate sin(ax) - ANS-a cos(ax) Differentiate cos(ax) - ANS--a sin(ax) Differentiate tan(x) - ANS-1/(cos²x) Differentiate tan(ax) - ANS-a/cos²(ax) Modulus - ANS-|x-a| < b => a-b < x < a+b Arc Length - ANS-rθ Area of Sector - ANS-1/2r²θ
