Elementary Differential and Integral Calculus FORMULA SHEET Exponents xa xb = xa+b , ax bx = (ab)x , (xa )b = xab , x0 = 1.

Logarithms ln xy = ln x + ln y, ax = ex ln a .

ln xa = a ln x,

ln 1 = 0,

eln x = x,

ln ey = y,

Trigonometry sin 0 = cos = 0, cos 0 = sin = 1, 2 2 2 2 cos + sin = 1, cos() = cos , sin() = sin , cos(A + B) = cos A cos B sin A sin B, cos 2 = cos2 sin2 , sin(A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B, sin 2 = 2 sin cos , sin 1 , sec = , 1 + tan2 = sec2 . tan = cos cos Inverse Functions y = sin1 x means x = sin y and y . 2 2 y = cos1 x means x = cos y and 0 y . y = tan1 x means x = tan y and < y < . 2 2 1/n n y=x means x = y . y = ln x means x = ey . Alternative Notation arcsin x = sin1 x, arccos x = cos1 x, arctan x = tan1 x, loge x = ln x. Note: sin1 x = (sin x)1 , cos1 x = (cos x)1 , tan1 x = (tan x)1 . However: sin2 x = (sin x)2 , cos2 x = (cos x)2 , tan2 x = (tan x)2 . Lines The line y = mx + c has slope m. The line through (x1 , y1 ) with slope m has equation y y1 = m(x x1 ). y y1 y2 y1 y2 y1 and equation = . The line through (x1 , y1 ) and (x2 , y2 ) has slope m = x2 x1 x x1 x2 x1 The line y = mx + c is perpendicular to the line y = m x + c if mm = 1. Circles The distance between (x1 , y1 ) and (x2 , y2 ) is (x1 x2 )2 + (y1 y2 )2 . The circle with centre (a, b) and radius r is given by (x a)2 + (y b)2 = r2 . Triangles In a triangle ABC:
