Key Formulas to Memorize
- Sum of first n terms of AP: Sn = n/2 × (2a + (n-1)d)
- Sum of first n terms of GP: Sn = a(r^n – 1)/(r-1)
- d/dx[sin x] = cos x; d/dx[cos x] = -sin x; d/dx[e^x] = e^x; d/dx[ln x] = 1/x
- ∫sin x dx = -cos x + C; ∫cos x dx = sin x + C; ∫e^x dx = e^x + C; ∫(1/x) dx = ln|x| + C
- nCr = n! / (r!(n-r)!); nPr = n! / (n-r)!
- P(A∩B) = P(A) × P(B|A) (conditional probability)
- |A×B| = |A||B|sin θ; A·B = |A||B|cos θ
