Formulas Flashcards
1
Q
Pythagorean Theorem
A
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
c = hypothenuse
2
Q
Quadratic Equation
A
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
3
Q
Discriminant
A
b^2 - 4ac
4
Q
Equation of a circle
A
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
(h,k) = center
r = radius
5
Q
slope intercept form
A
y = mx + b
m = slope
b = y intercept
6
Q
m in y = mx + b
A
m = change in y/change in x = rise/run = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
7
Q
circumference of circle
A
2(pi)(r)
8
Q
area of circle
A
pi(r)^2
