2. Advanced Math: Quadratics & Functions
- Quadratic Formula:
x = (-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a
- Factoring Example:
x^2 + 5x + 6 = (x+2)(x+3)
- Function Notation:
If f(x) = x^2 + 2x, then f(3) = 15
- Zeros of a Function = x-intercepts
3. Ratios, Percentages, Proportions
- Percent Change:
((new - old)/old) 100
- Ratio Tip:
Always reduce to simplest form
- Proportion Trick:
Cross-multiply to solve.
4. Geometry Must-Knows
- Triangle Area:

A = 1/2 base height
- Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
- Circle Area & Circumference:
A = pir^2, C = 2pir
5. Trigonometry Basics
- SOHCAHTOA:
sin() = opp/hyp
cos() = adj/hyp
tan() = opp/adj
- Only a few trig questions appear, but they matter!
