Q

Right-angled triangle trigonometry (3)

A

SOH CAH TOA
sinx = opposite/hypotenuse
tanx = opposite/adjacent
cosx = adjacent/hypotenuse

17
Q

Trig identity (2)

A

tanx = sinx/cosx

sinx² + cosx² = 1

18
Q

Semi interquartile range

A

SIQR = (Q3-Q1)/2

19
Q

Interquartile range

20
Q

Quadratic equations

A

x=(-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)

21
Q

magnitude of a vector

A

|a̲|= √(x² +y²)
(generally the same as a̲= (x,y)

22
Q

multiplying with indices

A

aᵐ x aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ

23
Q

dividing with indices

A

aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ

24
Q

“powers of powers”

A

(aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ

(multiply the powers together)

25
important results indices
a¹=a a⁰=1
26
negative indices
a⁻ᵐ = 1/aᵐ
27
fractional indices
a(ᵐ/ⁿ) = (ⁿ√a)ᵐ (the a at the start is to the power of m/n)
28
multiplying surds
√ab = √a x √b
29
dividing surds
√(a/b) = √a/√b
30
important results surds
√a x √a = a √a = a(¹/²) (a is to the power of 1/2) ³√a = a(¹/³) (a is to the power of 1/3)
