I. Key Concepts

Understanding fundamental concepts is crucial for mastering mathematics. Below are some of the key concepts discussed in the class:

• Algebraic Expressions

• Functions and Graphs

• Calculus: Differentiation and Integration

• Geometry and Trigonometry

• Probability and Statistics

II. Formulas

Formulas are essential tools for solving mathematical problems. Here are some important formulas that you should memorize:

III. Theorems

Theorems provide a formal statement of a mathematical principle. Here are some significant theorems covered in class:

• Pythagorean Theorem: In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

• Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: Connects differentiation and integration, providing an efficient method for evaluating definite integrals.

• Intermediate Value Theorem: If a continuous function, f(x), has values of opposite sign inside an interval, then it must have a root in that interval.

IV. Problem-Solving Techniques

Problem-solving is a critical skill in mathematics. Here are some techniques discussed in class:

• Understanding the problem

• Devising a plan

• Carrying out the plan

• Reviewing and extending

V. Examples

Applying concepts to solve problems reinforces understanding. Consider the following examples:

Example 1: Solving a Quadratic Equation

Given the quadratic equation x² - 5x + 6 = 0, solve for x.

Solution: Apply the quadratic formula:

x = [5 ± √(5²-4*1*6)] / 2*1 = [5 ± √(1)] / 2 = (6,1)

Example 2: Calculating the Area of a Circle

Find the area of a circle with a radius of 4 cm.

Solution: Use the area formula A = πr²:

A = π(4)² = 16π cm²
