Math Flashcards
What is the intercept in y = 5 - 2x and what is it called
5 and its called the y intercept
Where is the gradient found in this y = 5 - 2x.
The 2
What is the formula for gradients of a line?
y = mx + c
What are the four line gradients called and positioning?
Positive (uphill), negative (downhill), undefined (up and down), zero (straight across)
What way and where do the 4 quadrants go?
clockwise starting from top right corner
What helps you to chose what function to use?
What helps you to chose what function to use?
What are bearings?
Direction measure from north in a clockwise direction
What are the three sides of triangles called in trigonometry?
Opposite (opposite angle), hypotenuse (longest side), adjacent (remaining side)
How do you calculate a missing angle?
You push shift then sin cos or tan and bracket the two lengths of the sides
How do you find the length of short and long sides using pythagorus?
square root of :
long side - add them both squared
short side - minus them both squared
Difference between y intercept and gradient:
Gradient is the number with the x while the y intercept is just a number
What are pythagorus triples?
3,4,5
what is theta
it is a 0 with a line through it meaning unknown angle
using trigonometry what symbol do you use to find short and long side?
short - times
long - divide
how many decimal places do you round a angle to ?
1d.p
