The Pythagorean Theorem and Its Applications
In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides: a squared plus b squared equals c squared. Use it to find an unknown side when two sides are known, and to check whether a triangle is right-angled.
CalculusWhat Is Differentiation?
Differentiation measures how a function changes — its rate of change or gradient at a point. The derivative of x to the power n is n times x to the power n minus 1, and it gives the gradient of the tangent to the curve at each point.
NumberRounding Numbers to Decimal Places and Significant Figures
Rounding replaces a number with a simpler approximate value. Identify the rounding digit, look at the next digit, and round up if it is 5 or more, otherwise leave it. Significant figures count all non-zero digits, zeros between significant digits, and trailing zeros after a decimal point.
