Special products
● Perfect square trinomial
- (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
- (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²
● Difference of squares
(a + b)⋅(a - b) = a² - b²
- Difference of Squares
When factoring a binomial which is a perfect square minus another perfect
square
a² - b² = (a + b)⋅(a - b)
- Simple Trinomial
When the leading coefficient is 1
Find two numbers whose product is equal to the last term & Find two numbers
whose sum is equal to the middle term
x² + (a+b)x + ab = (x + a)⋅(x + b)
x² - (a+b)x + ab = (x - a)⋅(x - b)
x² + (a-b)x - ab = (x + a)⋅(x - b)
a² + 2ab + b² = (a + b)²
a² - 2ab + b² = (a - b)²
- Complicated Trinomial
When the leading coefficient is NOT 1
- Grouping
When factoring a polynomial with more than 3 terms
ab + ac + bd + cd = (b + c)⋅(a + d)
Always make sure you factor completely. i.e. All the factors are PRIME.
C : Quadratic Zero Product Principle : If you multiply two or more factors together and their product is
Equations & 0, one or more of the factors must be 0.
The Zero
Product
Solve : finding the value(s) of the variable that mae the relationship true
Principle
*danger zone
- Dividing by a variable : DON’T DO THIS. You will lose a root.
D : Problem Steps
Solving 1. Understand the problem
Define the variable clearly to represent the unknown quantities (Let x = ?)
4. Do the math
Apply the KAPs and PEQs
Expanding and Factoring
Case #2 : a ≠ 1
Factor out the ‘a’ value from the first two terms and then complete the square.
REMEMBER THE DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY WHEN YOU COUNTER WHAT YOU
HAVE DONE.
example)
F : Quadratic Square Root Principle : If x² = A, then x = ± √A
Equations &
The Square This is needed when the equation cannot be solved by factoring.
Root Principle
Solve by completing the square means complete the square first and then apply the
square root principle.
G : The
Quadratic
Formula &
The
Discriminant
We can use this formula to generate the solutions for any quadratic equation in standard
form.This formula tells us what are the solutions that make ax² + bx + c = 0 true.
Nature of roots
- Real or Non-real
- Rational or Irrational
- Unique or Repeated
To determine the nature of roots of quadratic equations, we need the value of the
discriminant (Δ) = b² - 4ac
● If Δ > 0
Two real unique solutions
Rational only if Δ is a perfect square number
● If Δ = 0
Real rational repeated solutions
● If Δ < 0
NO real solution → two complex conjugate roots
3. Sign analysis
Make regions on number line based on the critical values
Do factors result in positive or negative
This form can be used when we want an accurate sketch (at least three points including
vertex) of a quadratic function.
1. Find the vertex and axis of symmetry
2. Find the y-intercept by plugging in x=0
3. Find the reflection of y-intercept using the axis of symmetry
The completed square form also tells us the transformations that are required to get from
the parent function to the new function
a = vertical stretch by a factor of “a”
reflection across the x-axis if “a” is negative
h = horizontal shift
k = vertical shift
X-intercepts : (p , 0) & (q , 0)
In inequalities,
Critical values = X-intercepts

G : Modeling *GDC
the World
around us
Real World #2: Area Problems - Fence surrounding all four sides OR Fence only needs
to surround three sides
- Draw a sketch of the rectangle and define variables accordingly
- Create an area function and use area function as required to answer the
question
Real World #3: Revenue and Profit Problems
In business “how can we make the most profit?”
- Total revenue
= (unit price)⋅(quantity of items sold)
- Profit
= (total revenue) - (total production cost)
Complex plane : extension of number line that includes imaginary numbers vertically
i = √-1
i ² = -1
- Midpoint
Zm ( (a1+ a
2)/2 , (b1+ b
2)/2 )
→ Zm (average of the real parts, average of imaginary parts)
Important theorems
● Fundamental theorem of algebra
A polynomial of degree “n” produces “n” solutions
since it can be expressed as product of “n” factors
Proof
[ -b + √(b² -4ac) ] / 2a + [ -b - √(b² -4ac) ] / 2a = - 2b / 2a
Proof
[ -b + √(b² -4ac) ] / 2a ⋅ [ -b - √(b² -4ac) ] / 2a = (b² - b² + 4ac) / 4a²
B: Congruent : two geometric figures have exact same size and same shape
Congruency
and S = side, A = angle
Congruency ● SSS
Postulates ● SAS
● ASA
● AAS
NOT congruent
● AAA
● SSA
C : Similarity Similar : two geometric figures have the same shape, but not same size
and
Similarity ● AA
Postulates ● SSS
● SAS
In similar triangles, the corresponding angles are congruent, while corresponding side
lengths are proportional.
E : Trig

Angles
sin 1/2 √2/2 √3/2
tan 1/√3 1 √3
45-45-90 : isosceles Δ
30-60-90 : half of equilateral Δ
As the angle increases, length of the adjacent side decreases, while length of the
opposite side increases.
● cos-1
If adjacent side and hypotenuse in a right triangle are given, use arccos
● tan-1
If opposite side and adjacent side in a right triangle are given, use arctan
G : Problem ● If horizontal lines are parallel, angle of depression and angle of elevation are
Solving congruent as the alternate interior angles.
● Slope = tan θ
Adjacent = run = Δ x
Opposite = rise = Δ y
Slope = rise/run = opp/adj = tangent
The same family angles have same sine/cosine but different signs (+/-) depend on the
quadrants
● Quadrantal angles
Amplitude : 1
→ distance from the midline to the max/min
= radius
F : Oblique If the lengths of two sides and a measure of non-included angle is given (SSA) → NOT
Triangles and congruent → more than one possible triangle = Ambiguous case
Ambiguous
Case
How to solve ambiguous case ?
- Law of Sines
sin θ = sin (180 - θ )
Two possible angles from one sin value
because linear pairs have same reference angle
- Law of Cosines
The equation is quadratic → GDC : plysmlt 2
Change the equation into standard form
0 = ax² + bx + c → Poly Root Finder
Plug in : a into a2, b into a1, c into a0
→ two roots are the two possible solutions
