What You Need to Know For the Math B Regent Exam!!!

Circle Geometry:

Characteristics (facts)

- has a total of 360º or 2[pic] radians

- a diameter passes through the center of the circle cutting the it into two semicircles each contain 180º or radians

- tangent is a segment outside a circle and touches the circle once

- secant is a segment that passes through the circle and intersects it twice

- chord is a segment contained inside the circle

- central angle is an angle whose vertex is the center of the circle

- inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex in on the circle

- arc is a portion of a circle intercepted by an angle

Formulas

|Area of Circle = r2[pic] |Circumference of Circle = [pic]d or 2[pic]r |

Quadratics: ax2 + bx + c = 0

1. forms a parabola

-x2 ( downward parabola; frown + x2 ( upward parabola; smile

-to find roots: [pic]

- sum of roots [pic] -product of roots [pic] -axis of symmetry/vertex x = [pic]

2. nature of roots: If b2 – 4ac =

- 0 the roots are real, rational and equal; there is one root

- perfect square root, the roots are real, rational and unequal; there are two roots and touches axis twice

- whole number, roots are real, irrational and unequal; two roots and touches axis twice

- negative, roots are imaginary, no real roots; does not touch the x-axis

Equations of Graphs:

| | |

|Equations |Graph |

|y = mx + b |Linear Equation (Straight Line) |

|Y = ax2 + bx + c |Parabola (U-Shaped) |

|ax2 + by2 = r2 |Circle (a = b) |

|ax2 + by2 = c2 |Ellipse (a ≠ b) |

|ax2 – by2 = c2 and/or y = [pic] |Hyperbola |

|y = #x |Exponential Function |

Radians: (360º = 2[pic] radians)

- change degrees to radians, multiply by [pic]

- change radians to degrees, multiply by [pic]

- to find the intercepting arc given the radius and central angle Ө = [pic] (Ө = central angle, s = intercepting arc and r = radius)

Transformations:

1. reflections of 2. rotations

- x-axis ( negate y - positive: counterclockwise

- y-axis ( negate x - 90º ( negate y and switch

- origin ( negate both - 180º ( negate both

- y =x ( switch x and y - 270º ( negate x and switch

- y = -x ( switch and negate both x and y -negative: clockwise

- -90º ( same as 270º

- -180º ( same as 180º

- -270º ( same as 90º

3. translations 4. dilation

- add to move up to right - multiple same number to x and y to make bigger

- subtract to move down or left - divide same number to x and y to make smaller (or

multiply by a fraction

| |Reflection |Rotation |Dilation |Translation |

|Isometry – distance doesn’t |Yes |Yes |Yes |No |

|change | | | | |

|Direct Isometry – orientation |No |Yes |Yes |Yes |

|stays the same | | | | |

|Opposite Isometry – orientation |Yes |No |No |No |

|changes | | | | |

remember: If a question asks (rx-axis◦ D2), you must do the dilation first and then the reflection.

Imaginary Chart: Square Roots: (always simplify radicals)

i0 = 1 To Add/Subtract: need the same radicands

i1 = i [pic]( [pic]([pic]

i2 = -1 To Multiply/Divide: multiply/divide all like terms

i3 = -i [pic]

Radical Equations:

to solve radical equations, isolate the radical and then raise it to its index (ex: raise a square root to a power of two)

[pic]((isolate radical) [pic]((square both sides) [pic]( (solve the algebraic equation) [pic]

ALWAYS CHECK YOUR SOLUTION BECAUSE IT DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK IN THE EQUATION!

Logarithms:

means/equals EXPONENT rewrite logarithms: [pic] ( [pic]

**REMEMBER, IF LOG HAS A BASE OF 10, THEN YOU CAN PUT IT IN THE CALCULATOR**

**THE WORD LOG WITH NO BASE NUMBER WRITTEN IS UNDERSTOOD AS THE BASE OF 10**

Logarithm Rules: Exponent Rules:

[pic] [pic]

Exponential Equations:

1. need to get the base of the powers to be the same/equal

[pic]((decide what is the common base) [pic]([pic]((when bases are the same, set exponents equal to each other and solve algebraic equation) 3(2x + 1) = 2(4x)

2. when you cannot get the base powers to be the same, need to use logarithms

34x+1 = 52((log both sides)[pic]((use any logarithm rules)[pic]((solve for x by diving log 3, subtracting 1 and dividing 4)

Absolute Values:

the positive value of a number

Solving an Absolute Equation: set equation equal to both the negative and positive solution and solve

[pic] ( [pic] ( [pic]

Solving an Absolute Inequality:

-greater than/greater than or equal to-solve normal equation and solve equation with a negative solution but change sign position (graph is separate)

[pic] ( [pic] ([pic]

-less than/less than or equal to-solve normal equation and solve equation with a negative solution and keep sign position (graph is together)

[pic] ( [pic]

Functions:

has one and only one domain (can have repeating ranges)

domain = x-values range = y-values

to find the domain of a function, find out where on the graph the function is ( explain what are the values of the x-coordinates; what makes the function undefined

remember: if you have a function where division is involved, you cannot divide by 0

[pic] ( solve for x2 – 4 = 0 and x cannot be that value

if the function is a radical, radicals cannot equal negative solutions

[pic]( solve for this equation and x has to be that value and higher

if the function includes both a radical and division, the function cannot equal 0 or anything less.

[pic] ( solve for [pic] and x cannot be that value or lower

Math A Material:

Slope: [pic] Distance: [pic] Midpoint: [pic]
