Fraction Rules Geometric Formulas Multip​lic​ation and Scientific Notation

Common Denomi​nators SOHCAHTOA Multip​lic​ation and Division:

a/b + c/d = ad + bc/bd SOH = sin(x) = a/c - Convert into scientific notation
Multip​lic​ation CAH = cos(x) = b/c - Add/su​btract exponents
a/b * c/d = ac/bd TOA = tan(x) = a/b - Multip​ly/​divide coeffi​cients
Reciprocal 180 degrees = (pi)rad - Convert to scientific notation
1/(a/b) = b/a Divide arclength by radius to get radian - 2.3E4 x 9.5E7/​1.6E10 = 2.3x9.5​/1.6E​(4+​7-10)

Lines Special Angles Absolute Values
Degree Radian Cosine Sine Tangent
Given point (c,d) and slope m, the unique line Absolute Values often generate "​and​" and "​or"

such that Examples:
45 (pi)/4 1/sqrt(2) 1/sqrt(2) 1
m = y-d/x-c 60 (pi)/3 1/2 sqrt(3)/2 sqrt(3) |x|<1: -1<x and x<1 -1<​x<1
slope is change in y/change in x 90 (pi) 0 1 undefined |x|>1: x>1 or x<-1
Parallel, Perpen​dicular |2x+3|> 1: 2x+3>1 or -(2x+3​)>1
y=2x+4 and y=2x+3 are parallel x>-1 or x<-2
Theory of Geometric Series
y=2x+4 and 2y=4x+8 are same line
y=2x+4 and y = 1/2x+6 meet perpen​dic​ularly S = p + pr + pr2 + pr3 + ... + prn Expone​ntial Rules
Parallel lines never meet, same slope Sr = p + pr + pr2 + pr3 + ... + prn + prn+1
Perpen​dicular lines meet once at right angles exp(a)​exp(b) = exp(a+b)
S - Sr = p - pr^n+1
and slopes are negative recipr​ocals [exp(a)]^b = exp(ab)
S = p-prn​+1/1-r
exp(-a) = 1/exp(a)

Secant, Cosecant, Cotangent Logarithms

Secant: 1/cos(x) Logarithms are the functional inverses of the

Cosecant = 1/sin(x) expone​ntial
Cotangent = 1/tan(x) = cos(x)​/sin(x) y = b^x is equivalent to logb(y) = x
log(mn) = log(m) + log(n)
Trigon​ometric Identities log(m^n) = nlog(m)
log(1/m) = -log(m)
cos2x + sin2x = 1
loga(m) = logb(m​)/l​ogb(a)
tan-1x = arctan x exp(a)​exp(b) = exp(ab)
cot(x) = 1/tan x exp(-a) = 1/exp(a)
e10 = cos x + isin x e2.3 = 10, e 12 = e2.3*5.2 = (e2.3​) 5.2 = 10 5.2 =
