Math Final Test Review Cheat Sheet
- Master the quadratic formula - The quadratic formula x = ( - b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a) lets you solve any quadratic equation in a snap. Use the discriminant D = b² - 4ac to predict whether roots are real, equal, or complex, giving you a roadmap to the solution. Regular practice with different coefficients makes the process second nature. GeeksforGeeks - Maths Formulas
- Understand the Pythagorean identity - The identity sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 is the cornerstone of trigonometry, simplifying complex expressions into something you can handle. It lets you swap between sine and cosine effortlessly and solve equations faster. Mastering this also helps with advanced identities and calculus topics later on. GeeksforGeeks - Maths Formulas
- Familiarize yourself with the distance formula - The distance formula d = √[(x₂ - x)² + (y₂ - y)²] calculates the straight-line gap between two points on a plane. It's your go‑to tool in coordinate geometry for finding lengths and proving geometric relationships. Visualizing points and plotting them can turn abstract numbers into clear geometric insights.

- Learn circle area and circumference - Knowing that Area = πr² and Circumference = 2πr lets you tackle any circle problem with confidence. From computing plots of land to engineering designs, these formulas are everywhere. Remembering r as the bridge between area and perimeter keeps things in perspective. BYJU'S - Maths Formulas
- Grasp arithmetic progression formulas - The nth term aₙ = a + (n - 1)d and sum Sₙ = n/2 [2a + (n - 1)d] unlocks the world of sequences and series. You'll spot patterns, make predictions, and sum long lists of numbers with ease. These formulas also appear in finance for calculating installments and interests. BYJU'S - Maths Formulas
- Master surface area & volume of 3D shapes - Surface area and volume formulas for spheres, cylinders, and cones are crucial in mensuration: sphere SA=4πr², V=4/3πr³; cylinder SA=2πr(h+r), V=πr²h; cone SA=πr(l+r), V=1/3πr²h. Applying them helps you solve real‑world engineering and physics problems. Visual aids and practice sketches make these formulas stick. BYJU'S - Maths Formulas
- Memorize basic trigonometric ratios - sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse, cos θ = adjacent/hypotenuse, tan θ = opposite/adjacent form the backbone of trigonometry. These ratios let you link angles with side lengths in right‑angled triangles instantly. Flashcards and triangle sketches can speed up recall in exams. GeeksforGeeks - Maths Formulas
- Understand probability fundamentals - Probability P(E) = number of favorable outcomes / total outcomes quantifies the chance of an event happening. It's essential for statistics, games of chance, and real‑world risk analysis. Simulating experiments or rolling dice helps you see theory turn into practice. BYJU'S - Probability Formulas
- Learn sum & product of roots of quadratics - For ax² + bx + c = 0, the sum of roots α + β = - b/a and product αβ = c/a are handy shortcuts. You can solve or check equations without calculating roots directly, saving time in complex algebra problems. These relations also pop up in polynomial theory and proofs.
