3. Completing the square
  1. 1) Write formula > y=x^2 + bx + c
    1. 2) Make a gap appear > y=x^2 + bx ________________ + c
      1. 3) In the gap add on, then take off (0.5*b)^2 > y=x^2 + bx + (0.5*b)^2 - (0.5*b)^2 + c
        4) Add brackets > y=(x^2 + bx + (0.5*b)^2) - (0.5*b)^2 + c

Chapter 4 ~ Sketching Curves
1. Cubic Curves
  1. y = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d
  2. Use factors of equation to work out where the curve crosses the x-axis
    1. x-axis intersections are when x = 0
      1. eg (x-2) > intersection at (2,0). (x+5) > intersection at (-5,0)
  3. y = x^3
    1. Smooth curve through (0,0)
2. Reciprocals
  1. y = k/x
    1. When k>0, curves appear in quadrants where both values are either positive or negative
    2. When k<0, curves appear in quadrants where one value is positive and the other is negative
  2. The further away k is from 0, the further away the curves are from the axes
3. Transformations
  1. f(x+a) > moves whole curve -a in the x-direction
  2. f(x)+a > moves whole curve +a in y-direction
  3. f(ax) > multiply x-coordinates by (1/a)
  4. af(x) > multiply y-coordinates by a
Chapter 5 ~ Coordinate Geometry in the (x,y) Plane
1. y = mx + c
  1. m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept
2. ax + by +c = 0
  1. a, b, and c are all integers
3. Gradient between two points = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
  1. Equation of a line using one point and the gradient > y - y1 = m(x - x1)
  2. Equation of a line between two points > (y - y1)/(y2 - y1) = (x-x1)/(x2 - x1)
4. Two lines
  1. Perpendicular
    1. Gradient = -1/m
    2. The product of two perpendicular lines is -1
  2. Parallel
    1. Same gradient
Chapter 6 ~ Sequences and Series
1. General term > nth term
  1. a + (n-1)d
2. Un = 4n + 1
3. C1 only has arithmetic sequences
  1. a > first term
  2. d > common difference
4. Sum of an arithmetic sequence
  1. Sn = (n/2)[2a + (n - 1)d]
  2. sn = (n/2)(a + L)
    1. L is the last term
  3. ∑_(r=1)^10(5+2r) =7+9+...+25
Chapter 7 ~ Differentiation
1. Used to work out the gradient of a tangent
2. f(x) = x^n
  1. f'(x) = nx^(n-1)
  2. To get f'(x), multiply power by number in front of x, then reduce power by 1 for each part separately
3. (d^2y)/(dx^2) = f''(x)
Chapter 8 ~ Intergration
1. If dy/dx = x^n, the y = (1/(n+1))(x^(n+1)) + c
2. ∫x^n dx= x^(n+1)/(n+1)+c
3. Calculate c when given any point that the function of the curve passes through
4. Reverse of differentiation
