Math Stuff I Need To Know

Math stuff to know

A quick cheat-sheet of math stuff.

Algebra stuff

Powers and Square Roots

Remember: \(\sqrt{x}=x^(\frac{1}{2})\)

Point Slope Form

General formula:

\(y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)\)

where you have the points

\((x_1, y_1)\)

The subscripts just indicate the point you are given, i.e. specific \(x\) and \(y\) points as opposed to general \(x\) and \(y\) points.

Calculus stuff

Derivative : The slope of a line.

Quotient Rule

\(\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{u}{v}) = \frac{v(\frac{du}{dx})-u(\frac{dv}{dx})}{v^2}\)
