Complete Form Four Mathematics Formula Sheet
1. Algebra
Quadratic Formula: x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a
Discriminant: D = b² - 4ac
Difference of Squares: a² - b² = (a-b)(a+b)
(a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
(a-b)² = a² - 2ab + b²
a³+b³ = (a+b)(a²-ab+b²)
a³-b³ = (a-b)(a²+ab+b²)
a^m × a^n = a^(m+n)
a^m ÷ a^n = a^(m-n)
(a^m)^n = a^(mn)
a^0 = 1
a^(-n) = 1/a^n
2. Surds and Logarithms
√a × √b = √ab
√a / √b = √(a/b)
log(ab) = log a + log b
log(a/b) = log a - log b
log(a^n) = n log a
log_a a = 1
3. Coordinate Geometry
Slope = (y■-y■)/(x■-x■)
Distance = √[(x■-x■)² + (y■-y■)²]
Midpoint = ((x■+x■)/2 , (y■+y■)/2)
Equation of line: y = mx + c
4. Trigonometry
sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse
cos θ = adjacent/hypotenuse
tan θ = opposite/adjacent
tan θ = sin θ / cos θ
sin²θ + cos²θ = 1
1 + tan²θ = sec²θ
Area of triangle = 1/2 ab sin C
5. Geometry
Area of rectangle = length × width
Area of square = side²
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+w)
Area of triangle = 1/2 bh
Area of parallelogram = base × height
Area of trapezium = 1/2(a+b)h
Area of circle = πr²
Circumference = 2πr
Arc length = θ/360 × 2πr
Sector area = θ/360 × πr²
Pythagoras theorem: a²+b²=c²
6. Mensuration
Volume of cube = a³
Surface area of cube = 6a²
Volume of cuboid = lwh
Surface area of cuboid = 2(lw+lh+wh)
Volume of cylinder = πr²h
Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh
Total surface area of cylinder = 2πr(r+h)
Volume of cone = 1/3 πr²h
Curved surface area of cone = πrl
Volume of sphere = 4/3 πr³
Surface area of sphere = 4πr²
7. Statistics
Mean = Σx / n
Mean for grouped data = Σfx / Σf
Variance = Σ(x-x■)² / n
Standard deviation = √Variance
Range = Highest value - Lowest value
Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total outcomes
8. Sets
n(A∪B) = n(A)+n(B)-n(A∩B)
Complement: n(A') = n(U)-n(A)
9. Calculus Basics
Derivative of x^n = nx^(n-1)
∫x^n dx = x^(n+1)/(n+1) + c
10. Financial Mathematics
Simple Interest = PRT/100
Amount = P + SI
Compound Amount = P(1+r/100)^n
Compound Interest = Amount - Principal
