1. Standard Form:
ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0ax2+bx+c=0
2. Factoring Method:
Find two numbers that multiply to ccc and add to bbb.
3. Quadratic Formula:
x=−b±b2−4ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}x=2a−b±b2−4ac
4. Completing the Square:
Rewrite ax2+bx+cax^2 + bx + cax2+bx+c in the form (x+h)2=k(x + h)^2 = k(x+h)2=k.
5. Example Problem:
Solve x2+5x+6=0x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0x2+5x+6=0.
III. Functions
1. Definition:
A function relates inputs to outputs where each input has exactly one output.
2. Function Notation:
f(x)=mx+bf(x) = mx + bf(x)=mx+b
Example: f(x)=2x+3f(x) = 2x + 3f(x)=2x+3. Find f(4)f(4)f(4).
3. Domain and Range:
o Domain: Possible xxx-values.
o Range: Resulting yyy-values.
IV. Trigonometry
1. Basic Ratios:
o Sine: sinθ=oppositehypotenuse\sin \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\
text{hypotenuse}}sinθ=hypotenuseopposite
o Cosine: cosθ=adjacenthypotenuse\cos \theta = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\
text{hypotenuse}}cosθ=hypotenuseadjacent
o Tangent: tanθ=oppositeadjacent\tan \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\
text{adjacent}}tanθ=adjacentopposite
2. Pythagorean Theorem:
a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2a2+b2=c2
Example: Find the hypotenuse if a=3a = 3a=3 and b=4b = 4b=4.
V. Statistics
1. Mean (Average):
Mean=Sum of valuesNumber of values\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of values}}{\
text{Number of values}}Mean=Number of valuesSum of values
2. Median:
The middle value when numbers are ordered.
3. Mode:
The most frequently occurring value.
4. Example Problem:
Find the mean, median, and mode of 5,7,9,7,105, 7, 9, 7, 105,7,9,7,10.
