Answers INDEX: 195 PREFACE Calculus is probably the first mathematics course you have taken that is not self-contained in the sense that the material from previous mathematics courses is expected without specifically mentioning it in the textbook. This supplement is a convenient reference book to be used along with your textbook, Calculus, to remind you of those formulas or topics that you may have forgotten. This handbook is organized so that it can be used in two ways. The first use is as a reference manual providing a summary of terminology, formulas, and tables, not only of prerequisite mathematics, but also of the material covered in a standard calculus course. The second use is as a brief review of material assumed as a prerequisite for a course in calculus. This material is presented with examples, brief written exposition, and practice problems. The topics that are included with exposition and practice problems are sometimes missing from the backgrounds of many students who otherwise have the prerequisites for calculus. We remind the student that nearly everyone qualified to enroll in calculus has, for a variety of reasons, gaps in knowledge of prerequisite material, and the brief review in this handbook can help to bridge that gap. We provide this supplement to Calculus free of charge with the purchase of the textbook, in an attempt to help ensure your success in calculus. Use this book for reference, and as a handbook as you progress through the course. In addition, new technology has changed the emphasis of many of the topics in a calculus course. One recent change is the acknowledgement of calculators and computers to help not only with the mechanics of algebra, but also with the mechanics of differentiation and integration in calculus. Outside of the academic environment, engineers and physicists tells us that using available technology, as well as tables of integration, is by far more important than many of the esoteric topics they were taught in their calculus courses many years ago. For that reason, calculus books are evolving, and the emphasis is not on obscure esoteric topics, but rather practical knowledge that balances between application and theory. To capture this new emphasis, we see the need for you to have a complete integration table, so one has been provided in this handbook. Mathematics Handbook for CALCULUS Page 1 CHAPTER 1 Review of Geometry In this book we use the following variables when stating formulas: A = area, P = perimeter, C = circumference, S = surface area, and V = volume. Also, r denotes radius, Λ altitude, I slant height, b base, B area of base, θ central angle expressed in radians. 1.1_____ Polygons CLASSIFICATION TRIANGLES Type Number of sides A = ⅛bh The sum of the measures of the triangle 3 angles of a triangle is 180°. quadrilateral 4 pentagon 5 hexagon 6 heptagon 7 octagon 8 nonagon 9 decagon 10 undecagon 11 dodecagon 12 Pythagorean theorem If angle C is a right angle, then c2 = α2 + ⅛2. 45°-45°-90° triangle theorem For any right triangle with acute angles measuring 45°, the legs are the same length, and the hypotenuse has a length equal to ∖∕2 times the length of one of those legs. 30°-60°-90° triangle theorem For any right triangle with acute angles measuring 30° and 60°: 1. The hypotenuse is twice as long as the leg opposite the 30° angle (the shorter leg). 2. The leg opposite the 30° angle (the shorter leg) is ∣ as long as the hypotenuse. 3. The leg opposite the 60° angle (the longer leg) equals the length of the other (shorter) leg times y∕⅛ 4. The leg opposite the 30° angle equals the length of the other leg divided by √37 Equilateral triangle For any equilateral triangle: a = β = γ = 60° A = ⅜δ2√3 h = ∣6√3 Page 2 Chapter 1 QUADRILATERALS Rectangle Square Parallelogram Trapezoid A = (w A = s2 A = bh — α⅛sin θ A — ⅛h(a + 6) P = 2( + 2w P = 4,s P = 2a + 2b P = a + b REGULAR POLYGON OF n SIDES A = ∣nα2cot A P — an 1.2 Circles TERMINOLOGY Definition: In a plane, a circle is the set of all points a given distance, called the radius, from a given point, called the center. Circumference: distance around a circle. Chord: a line joining two points of a circle. Diameter: a chord through the center: AB is Figure 1.1. Arc: part of a circle: BC, AC, or ACB in Figure 1.1. The length s of an arc of a circle of radius r with central angle θ (measured in radians) is .s = rθ. To intercept an arc is to cut off the arc; in Figure 1.1, ACOB intercepts BC. Tangent of a circle is a line that intersects the circle at one and only one point. Figure 1.1 Secant of a circle is a line that intersects the circle at exactly two points. Inscribed polygon is a polygon all of whose sides are chords of a circle. A regular inscribed polygon is a polygon all of whose sides are the same length. Inscribed circle is a circle to which all the sides of a polygon are tangents. Circumscribed polygon is a polygon all of whose sides are tangents to a circle. Circumscribed circle is a circle passing through each vertex of a polygon.
