IB Mathematics AI SL — Complete Summary

Notes
Compiled from the uploaded IB Academy Study Guide.

0. PRIOR LEARNING
• Rounding rules: <5 keep same, ≥5 round up.

• Standard form: a × 10^k where 1 ≤ a < 10.

• Percentage increase multiplier = 1 + r.

• Percentage decrease multiplier = 1 − r.

• Area of triangle = 1/2 bh.

• Circle area = πr².

• Cylinder volume = πr²h.

• Sphere volume = 4/3 πr³.

1. NUMBER & ALGEBRA


• Exponent laws: x^m × x^n = x^(m+n).

• x^−n = 1/x^n.

• Logarithms: a^x = b ⇔ x = log_a b.

• Arithmetic sequence: u_n = u_1 + (n−1)d.

• Arithmetic sum: S_n = n/2 [2u_1 + (n−1)d].

• Geometric sequence: u_n = u_1 r^(n−1).

• Compound interest: FV = PV(1+r/100k)^(kn).

• Simple interest: I = Prn.

• Percentage error = |Approx−Exact|/Exact ×100.

2. FUNCTIONS
• Linear equation: y = mx + c.

• Gradient = (y2−y1)/(x2−x1).

• Parallel lines have equal gradients.

• Perpendicular lines: m1m2 = −1.

• Quadratic form: y = ax² + bx + c.

• Axis of symmetry: x = −b/2a.

• Vertex form: y = a(x−h)² + k.

• Exponential functions have asymptotes.


• Sinusoidal model: y = a sin(bx) + d.

• Period = 360°/b.

3. GEOMETRY & TRIGONOMETRY


• Distance formula: √[(x2−x1)² + (y2−y1)²].

• Pythagoras: a²+b²=c².

• SOHCAHTOA rules.

• Sine rule: a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC.

• Arc length = θ/360 × 2πr.

• Sector area = θ/360 × πr².

• Voronoi diagrams divide regions by nearest site.

4. CALCULUS
• Derivative rule: d/dx(ax^n)=anx^(n−1).

• Derivative of constant = 0.

• Turning points occur where f'(x)=0.

• Tangent gradient = curve gradient.

• Normal gradient = −1/(tangent gradient).

• Integration: ∫x^n dx = x^(n+1)/(n+1)+C.

• Definite integral gives area under curve.

5. STATISTICS & PROBABILITY


• Mean = Σx/n.

• Standard deviation measures spread.

• Probability = favourable/total.

• Conditional probability: P(A|B)=P(A∩B)/P(B).

• Binomial distribution formula.

• Normal distribution uses z-scores.

• Correlation coefficient measures strength of relationship.
