- Distance formula between points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
Show answer
sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
- Midpoint of a line segment from (x1, y1) to (x2, y2)
Show answer
((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)
- Standard form equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r
Show answer
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
- Relationship between slopes of two perpendicular lines
Show answer
m1 * m2 = -1, or m2 = -1/m1
- Definition of the derivative of f(x) at x = a
Show answer
lim(h->0) [f(a + h) - f(a)] / h
- Power rule: derivative of x^n
Show answer
n * x^(n-1)
- Chain rule: derivative of f(g(x))
Show answer
f'(g(x)) * g'(x), or dy/dx = (dy/du)(du/dx)
- Product rule: derivative of f(x)*g(x)
Show answer
f'(x)*g(x) + f(x)*g'(x)
- Quotient rule: derivative of f(x)/g(x)
Show answer
[f'(x)*g(x) - f(x)*g'(x)] / [g(x)]^2
- Fundamental theorem of calculus, part 1: relationship between derivative and integral
Show answer
If F'(x) = f(x), then d/dx[integral from a to x of f(t) dt] = f(x)
- Integration by parts formula
Show answer
integral of u dv = uv - integral of v du
- L'Hopital's rule applies to limits of form
Show answer
0/0 or infinity/infinity
- Second derivative test: if f'(c) = 0, what does f''(c) tell you
Show answer
f''(c) < 0 means local maximum, f''(c) > 0 means local minimum
- Determinant of 2x2 matrix [[a, b], [c, d]]
Show answer
ad - bc
- A square matrix has an inverse when its determinant is
Show answer
Non-zero (det ≠ 0)
