Linear graphs & coordinates / trigonometry/ surface area & volume/ sequences Flashcards
(15 cards)
How do we calculate gradient?
y2 - y1/ x2 - x1 which is change in y/ change in x OR rise/run
What is the equation of a straight line?
y=mx+c
m=gradient
C= y-intercept
Note: parallel lines have the same gradient
How do we calculate sine?
Opposite / hypotenuse
How do we calculate cosine?
Adjacent / hypotenuse
How do we calculate tangent?
Opposite / adjacent
How do we find angles on a calculator?
By using inverse functions (sine, cos, tan inverse)
How do we calculate the volume of a cube or cuboid?
Volume = length x width x height.
How to calculate the volume of a triangular prism?
Volume = 1/2 x base x height x length
How to calculate the volume of a trapezium?
Area of cross - section= 1/2 (a+b) x height x length
How do we calculate surface area?
By adding up the area of all faces of the shape.
What is a linear sequence?
It goes up/down by the same amount. Eg: 2,4,6,8,10
What is an nth term?
Rule for the sequence eg: 2n
What is the Fibonacci sequence ?
Add previous terms to get the next one.
What is volume of a cylinder
22/7r^2(h)
