Module 7-10 Test Review Cheat Sheet
- Law of Sines - The Law of Sines relates each side of an oblique triangle to the sine of its opposite angle, making it a go‑to tool for ASA, AAS, and SSA cases. By setting up the ratio sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b = sin(C)/c, you can confidently solve for unknown sides or angles. It's your secret weapon when Pythagoras takes a coffee break. OpenStax Key Concepts
- Law of Cosines - Think of the Law of Cosines as the Pythagorean theorem's cooler, more flexible cousin - it works for SAS and SSS triangles. Use c² = a² + b² - 2ab·cos(C) to find missing sides or angles when two sides and the included angle are known. Perfect for when triangles refuse to be right‑angled. OpenStax Key Concepts
- Polar Coordinates - In the polar world, every point is a combo of radius (r) and angle (θ), like ordering coffee by size and flavor. Converting between polar (r,θ) and rectangular (x,y) coordinates helps you dominate graphing challenges across both systems. It's a stylish new way to pinpoint locations. OpenStax Key Concepts
- Graphing Polar Equations - To graph polar equations, first test for symmetry about the x‑axis, y‑axis, or the pole, then plot key points by picking a few θ values. Familiar shapes like circles, cardioids, and rose curves pop to life when you connect the dots. Give each curve its moment in the spotlight! OpenStax Key Concepts
- Polar Form of Complex Numbers - Express complex numbers as r·(cos θ + i·sin θ) to simplify multiplication, division, and raising to powers. This polar form turns messy algebra into a breeze by letting you multiply magnitudes and add angles. It's like the express lane for complex arithmetic. OpenStax Key Concepts
- Parametric Equations - Parametrics let x and y dance to the beat of a third variable, t, so you can model motion and funky curves that aren't functions in the classic sense. By eliminating t, you often rediscover a familiar y = f(x) or unveil a brand‑new path. It's storytelling through math! OpenStax Key Concepts
- Vectors - Vectors carry both magnitude and direction, making them MVPs in physics and engineering. Master vector addition, scalar multiplication, and the dot product to conquer force diagrams, velocity problems, and more. Think of them as arrows that never lie! OpenStax Key Concepts
- Unit Circle - The unit circle (radius 1) centered at the origin is your cheat sheet for sine, cosine, and tangent values at key angles. Memorize its coordinates and you'll breeze through trig functions, identities, and graphing. It's the playground where angles and ratios meet. OpenStax Key Concepts
- Right Triangle Trigonometry - Focus on SOH‑CAH‑TOA to link sides and angles in right triangles with sine, cosine, and tangent ratios. These basics are the building blocks for waves, oscillations, and real‑world measurements. Master them and you'll never fear a triangle again. OpenStax Key Concepts
- Angles in Standard Position - An angle in standard position has its vertex at the origin and its initial side along the positive x‑axis, measured in degrees or radians. Converting between these units is essential for trigonometric problems and understanding rotations. Ready, set, rotate! OpenStax Key Concepts
