Math Speedrun - Comprehensive Edition
Basic Algebra
In this section, we discuss the fundamental concepts in algebra like numbers, variables, and basic
operations.
1. Numbers can be natural, integers, rational, or real.
2. Variables are symbols that stand for unknown values.
3. Basic operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
4. The order of operations should be followed for accurate results.
Factoring
Factoring involves breaking down expressions into simpler terms. This is a crucial skill in algebra.
1. Common Factoring: \(x^2 + 5x = x(x+5)\)
2. Difference of Squares: \(a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)\)
3. Quadratic Factoring: \(x^2 + 5x + 6 = (x+2)(x+3)\)
Analytic Geometry
Analytic Geometry, also known as coordinate geometry, involves plotting points and shapes on a
coordinate plane.
1. Points are located using coordinates (x, y).
2. The distance between two points can be found using the distance formula.
3. The slope of a line passing through two points is given by the slope formula.
Systems of Equations
Systems of equations involve solving multiple equations to find a common solution.
1. Substitution Method
2. Elimination Method
3. Matrix Method (Higher Level)
Trigonometry
Trigonometry deals with the relationships between the angles and sides of triangles.
1. Basic Ratios: Sine, Cosine, Tangent
2. Pythagorean Trigonometric Identity: \(\sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) = 1\)
3. Angle of Elevation and Depression
