hey hey everyone
im having big trouble wif QF + CG straight line

heres some CG formulas off the top of my head.. feel free to correct me if they're wrong.. they're usually in your text book and study guides

gradient is y2-y1/x2-x1

point gradient formula y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is the gradient

two-point formula y-y1=y2-y1/x2-x1(x-x1)

midpoint x = ((x2+x1)/2) y = ((y2+y1)/2)

distance = the square root of (y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2

perpendicular distance |(ax1+by1+c)/square root of (a^2+b^2)| where (x1, y1) is the given point and a,b & c are from the given equation

for quadratics the discriminant b^2-4ac determines the nature of the roots

hope they're right and hope they help

Qf

Mustn't forget the quadratic formula:

-b±sqrt of b²-4ac / 2a

Also:

Axis of symmetry: x = -b / 2a (for y = ax² + bx + c)

Quadratic Identities: If a1x² + b1x + c1 is equivalent to a2x² + b2x + c2 for all real x, then a1 = a2, b1 = b2, c1= c2.

Sum of roots: general equation x² - (alpha + beta)x + alpha * beta = 0
alpha + beta = -b / a
alpha * beta = c / a
alpha² + beta² = (alpha + beta)² - 2 * alpha * beta
= (-b / a)² - 2(c / a)

That's for quadratic formula. :cool:
