Important Math Formulas
Algebra
- a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)
- (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
- (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2
- Quadratic Formula: x = [-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)] / 2a
- Sum of n natural numbers: S = n(n + 1)/2
- Sum of squares of first n natural numbers: S = n(n + 1)(2n + 1)/6
Geometry
- Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height
- Area of circle = pir^2
- Circumference of circle = 2pir
- Area of rectangle = length * breadth
- Pythagoras Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Trigonometry
- sin^2theta + cos^2theta = 1
- 1 + tan^2theta = sec^2theta
- 1 + cot^2theta = cosec^2theta
- sin(90° - theta) = costheta
- cos(90° - theta) = sintheta
- Basic Ratios: sintheta = Opp/Hyp, costheta = Adj/Hyp, tantheta = Opp/Adj
Calculus
- Derivative of x^n = nx^(n-1)
- Derivative of sinx = cosx
- Derivative of cosx = -sinx
- Integral x^n dx = (x^(n+1))/(n+1) + C, n != -1
- Integral 1/x dx = ln|x| + C
- Integral e^x dx = e^x + C
