Must-Know Formulas

Trigonometry

  • sin²θ + cos²θ = 1
  • sin 2θ = 2 sin θ cos θ
  • cos 2θ = cos²θ − sin²θ = 1 − 2sin²θ = 2cos²θ − 1
  • tan(A+B) = (tanA + tanB) / (1 − tanA·tanB)

Calculus

  • d/dx (xⁿ) = nxⁿ⁻¹
  • d/dx (sin x) = cos x  |  d/dx (cos x) = −sin x
  • ∫xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1) + C
  • ∫sin x dx = −cos x + C  |  ∫cos x dx = sin x + C

Coordinate Geometry

  • Distance = √[(x₂−x₁)² + (y₂−y₁)²]
  • Midpoint = ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2)
  • Slope = (y₂−y₁)/(x₂−x₁)
Strategy: Spend the first 30 minutes on Maths and Physics together. Don't get stuck — skip and return to hard questions after completing easy ones.
