21 Terms

1

Slope of a Line

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

<p>m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)</p>
New cards
2

Slope-Intercept Form

y = mx+b

<p>y = mx+b</p>
New cards
3

Point-Slope Form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

<p>y-y1 = m(x-x1)</p>
New cards
4

Midpoint Formula

midpoint = (((x1+x2)/2), ((y1+y2)/2))

<p>midpoint = (((x1+x2)/2), ((y1+y2)/2))</p>
New cards
5

Distance Formula

distance = sqrt((x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²)

<p>distance = sqrt((x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²)</p>

Length of an Arc

length = (n/360)2pir

<p>length = (n/360)2pir</p>
New cards
7

Area of a Sector

area = (n/360)pir²

<p>area = (n/360)pir²</p>

Circle Equation

(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²
h = x coordinate of the middle of the circle
k = y coordinate of the middle of the circle

<p>(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²<br>h = x coordinate of the middle of the circle<br>k = y coordinate of the middle of the circle</p>
New cards
12

Exponential Growth

y = a(1+r)^t
a = initial value
r = rate
t = time

<p>y = a(1+r)^t<br>a = initial value<br>r = rate<br>t = time</p>

Vertex of a Parabola

x = -b/2a
“banana” in the quadratic formula

<p>x = -b/2a <br>“banana” in the quadratic formula</p>
New cards
14

Vertex Form

a(x-h)²+k
vertex = (h, k)

<p>a(x-h)²+k<br>vertex = (h, k)</p>
New cards
15

Pythagorean Theorem

a²+b² = c²

<p>a²+b² = c²</p>
New cards
16

Distance = Rate x Time

d = rt

<p>d = rt</p>

17

Sine & Cosine

sin(x) = cos(90-x)

<p>sin(x) = cos(90-x)</p>
New cards
18

Discriminant

b²-4ac

b²-4ac < 0 | no real solutions
b²-4ac = 0 | 1 real solution
b²-4ac > 0 | 2 real solutions

<p>b²-4ac<br><br>b²-4ac &lt; 0 | no real solutions<br>b²-4ac = 0 | 1 real solution<br>b²-4ac &gt; 0 | 2 real solutions</p>
