Digital SAT Math Formulas Reference

Ultimate High-Yield Formula Sheet for Test Day Success

1. Heart of Algebra

• Slope of a Line: Tells you the steepness of a line passing through points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂):

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

• Slope-Intercept Form: The most common linear equation structure where m represents the
exact slope and b is the y-intercept:

y = mx + b

• Standard Form: Alternate linear setup where the slope is calculated as -A / B:

Ax + By = C

2. Advanced Math & Quadratics

• The Quadratic Formula: Used to solve for the values of x in any quadratic equation
structured as ax² + bx + c = 0:

x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)] / 2a

• The Discriminant: The value under the radical (D = b² - 4ac) tells you the number of real
solutions:
◦ If D > 0: There are exactly 2 real distinct solutions.

◦ If D = 0: There is exactly 1 real repeating solution.

◦ If D < 0: There are 0 real solutions (2 complex imaginary solutions).

• Vertex of a Parabola: The x-coordinate of the peak or valley point of a quadratic function
can be found quickly using:

x = -b / 2a

3. Geometry & Trigonometry Keys

• Pythagorean Theorem: In any right triangle, the squares of the legs equal the square of the
hypotenuse: a² + b² = c²

• Trigonometric Ratios: SOH-CAH-TOA relationships for acute angles:


sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse
cos(θ) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse
tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent
