Complete Formula Booklet (Core + Extended)
1. Algebra
Laws of Indices: a■ × a■ = a■■■, a■ ÷ a■ = a■■■, (a■)■ = a■■, a■ = 1
Expanding: (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b², (a − b)² = a² − 2ab + b²
Quadratic Formula: x = (−b ± √(b² − 4ac)) / 2a
Discriminant: D = b² − 4ac
Simultaneous Equations: Solve by substitution or elimination.
2. Geometry
Triangle = 180°, Quadrilateral = 360°
Circle Theorems: Angle at centre = 2 × angle at circumference, Tangent ■ radius
Areas: Rectangle = l × b, Triangle = ½bh, Circle = πr², Circumference = 2πr
3. Trigonometry
sin θ = opp/hyp, cos θ = adj/hyp, tan θ = opp/adj
Pythagoras: a² + b² = c²
Sine Rule: a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
Cosine Rule: c² = a² + b² − 2ab cosC
4. Mensuration
Cube: V = a³, SA = 6a²
Cylinder: V = πr²h, SA = 2πr(h + r)
Cone: V = ■πr²h, SA = πr(l + r)
Sphere: V = ■⁄■πr³, SA = 4πr²
5. Coordinate Geometry
y = mx + c
Gradient = (y■ − y■)/(x■ − x■), Midpoint = ((x■ + x■)/2, (y■ + y■)/2)
Distance = √((x■ − x■)² + (y■ − y■)²), m■ × m■ = −1
6. Statistics
Mean = Σx/n, Grouped Mean = Σfx/Σf
Median = middle value, Mode = most frequent, Range = max − min
7. Probability
P(E) = favourable outcomes / total outcomes
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A and B)
P(A and B) = P(A)×P(B) if independent
8. Number & Ratio
% Change = (change/original)×100
Simple Interest = (P×R×T)/100
Compound Amount = P(1+R/100)■
Ratio a:b = a/b
9. Vectors & Transformations
Vector AB = [x■ − x■, y■ − y■], |v| = √(x² + y²)
Transformations: Reflection, Rotation, Translation, Enlargement
10. Calculus (Extended Only)
If y = x■, dy/dx = n×x■■¹
Stationary Points: dy/dx=0
∫x■ dx = x■■¹/(n+1) + C, n ≠ −1
