B Useful Formulas Algebra Remember that the common algebraic operations have precedences relative to each other: for example, multiplication and division take precedence over addition and subtraction, but are “tied” with each other. In the case of ties, work left to right. This means, for example, that 1/2x means (1/2)x: do the division, then the multiplication in left to right order. It sometimes is a good idea to use more parentheses than strictly necessary, for clarity, but it is also a bad idea to use too many parentheses. Completing the square: x2 + bx + c = (x + 2b )2 − b2 4 + c. √ b2 − 4ac −b ± . Quadratic formula: the roots of ax2 + bx + c are 2a Exponent rules: ab · ac = ab+c ab = ab−c ac (ab )c = abc √ a1/b = b a Geometry Circle: circumference = 2πr, area = πr 2 . Ellipse: area = πab, where 2a and 2b are the lengths of the axes of the ellipse. 313 314 Appendix B Useful Formulas Sphere: vol = 4πr 3 /3, surface area = 4πr 2 . Cylinder: vol = πr 2 h, lateral area = 2πrh, total surface area = 2πrh + 2πr 2 . √ √ Cone: vol = πr 2 h/3, lateral area = πr r 2 + h2 , total surface area = πr r 2 + h2 + πr 2 . Analytic geometry Point-slope formula for straight line through the point (x0 , y0 ) with slope m: y = y0 + m(x − x0 ). Circle with radius r centered at (h, k): (x − h)2 + (y − k)2 = r 2 . x2 y2 Ellipse with axes on the x-axis and y-axis: 2 + 2 = 1. a b Trigonometry sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenuse cos(θ) = adjacent/hypotenuse tan(θ) = opposite/adjacent sec(θ) = 1/ cos(θ) csc(θ) = 1/ sin(θ) cot(θ) = 1/ tan(θ) tan(θ) = sin(θ)/ cos(θ) cot(θ) = cos(θ)/ sin(θ) cos2 (θ) + sin2 (θ) = 1 tan2 (θ) + 1 = sec2 (θ) sec2 (θ) − 1 = tan2 (θ) sin(θ) = cos π2 − θ cos(θ) = sin π2 − θ sin(θ + π) = − sin(θ) cos(θ + π) = − cos(θ) Law of cosines: a2 = b2 + c2 − 2bc cos A Law of sines: b c a = = sin A sin B sin C Sine of sum of angles: sin(x + y) = sin x cos y + cos x sin y Appendix B Useful Formulas Sine of double angle: sin(2x) = 2 sin x cos x Sine of difference of angles: sin(x − y) = sin x cos y − cos x sin y Cosine of sum of angles: cos(x + y) = cos x cos y − sin x sin y Cosine of double angle: cos(2x) = cos2 x − sin2 x = 2 cos2 x − 1 = 1 − 2 sin2 x Cosine of difference of angles: cos(x − y) = cos x cos y + sin x sin y Tangent of sum of angles: tan(x + y) = tan x + tan y 1 − tan x tan y sin2 (θ) and cos2 (θ) formulas: sin2 (θ) + cos2 (θ) = 1 tan2 (θ) + 1 = sec2 (θ) 1 − cos(2θ) 2 1 + cos(2θ) cos2 (θ) = 2 sin2 (θ) = 315
