GAT Math Formula Sheet
Algebra:
- (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
- (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2
- (a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2
- Quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a
Geometry:
- Area of rectangle = length × width
- Area of triangle = (1/2) × base × height
- Area of circle = πr^2
- Circumference of circle = 2πr
- Pythagoras theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
- Volume of cube = a^3
- Volume of rectangular prism = l × w × h
- Volume of cylinder = πr^2h
- Volume of sphere = (4/3)πr^3
- Surface area of sphere = 4πr^2
Statistics & Probability:
- Mean = (sum of values) / (number of values)
- Probability = (favorable outcomes) / (total outcomes)
Arithmetic:
- Speed = Distance / Time
- Distance = Speed × Time
- Time = Distance / Speed
- Simple Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time) / 100
- Percentage = (Part / Whole) × 100
- Ratio = a : b = a/b
Exponents & Logarithms:
- a^m × a^n = a^(m+n)
- a^m / a^n = a^(m-n)
- (a^m)^n = a^(mn)
- log(ab) = log(a) + log(b)
- log(a/b) = log(a) - log(b)
- log(a^n) = n × log(a)
Others:
- Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + w)
- Perimeter of square = 4a
- Area of trapezoid = (1/2)(a + b)h
