Sequences

Arithmetic Sequence
An = A1 + D(n - 1)
Geometric Sequence
An = A1(rn-1)
Finite Sum
Sn = A1(1 - rn) / 1 - r
Infinite Sum (|r| < 1)
A1 / 1 - r

Volumes

Sphere
V = (4/3)πr2
A = 4πr2
Cone
V = (1/3)πr2h
Pyramid
V = (1/3)bh
Cylinder
πr2h

Sin/Cos

Law of Cosines
c2 = a2+b2-2ab(c­os(C))
Arc Length
L = rθ
Double angle:
sin2x = 2cosxsinx
cos2x = cos2x - sin2x
cos2x = 2cos2x - 1
cos2x = 1 - 2sin2x
tan2x = 2tanx / 1 - tan2x
Half angle:
sinx/2 = +/- sqrt((1 - cosx) / 2)
cosx/2 = +/- sqrt((1 + cosx) / 2)
tanx/2 = +/- sqrt((1 - cosx) / (1 + cosx))
tanx/2 = (1 - cosx) / sinx

Vertical line test

If a vertical line intersects a supposed function at two different points, it is not a function.

Probab­ility

Combin­ations:
Order doesn't matter
8c5 = 8! / (8-5)!5!
Permut­ations:
Order matters
8p5 = 8! / 5!
Probab­ility:
P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
If A and B are mutually exclusive:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
