Calculus Formula Sheet

Calculus is a branch in mathematics which deals with the study of limits, functions, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series. It has two main branches
  • Differential calculus
  • Integral calculus
It is a formula sheet which contains differentiation and integration formulas which are needed to solve the calculus problems. We should know all the calculus formulas before get into the problems. Calculus formula sheet helps you to learn all those formulas. It is very much helpful for the students at the time of examination for reviewing calculus formulas.

Integration is a limiting process which is used to find the area of a region under a curve.  We can also say that integration is an anti derivative of differentiation. Integration of a function is shown as,
int` f(x) dx = F(x) + C
int `  = Sign of integration
The variable x in dx is called variable of integration or integrator.
C= constant

Computing Ratio

A relation obtained by comparing two quantities similar in some sense is called a ratio. Ratio can be expressed in terms of fraction, that is,  a:b is equal to a/b For example 25 is 1/4th of the hundred, Therefore, the ratio of 25 to 100is ¼. We write it in ratio as 1:4.

Facts for computing ratio:

The numbers a and b in a ratio a:b are called the term of the ratio. Here, a is called the first terms and b is called the second term of the ratio

Computing Nature of ratio:
A ratio is purely a number: it has no unit attached to it.

Computing Comparison of ratio:
Since, the ratio a:b represents what multiple are part a is of b, it is also equal to a/b.
Accordingly ratio a : b is said greater than a ratio c : d if, a/b > c/d ( b and d >0)
Or  ad – bc > 0

Computing simplest form of ratio:
Since, a/b=ma/mb for every non-zero number m, therefore the ratios a:b and ma:mb are the same.
If,a/b is in its lowest terms, the ratio a:b is said to be in its simplest form.

Computing Composition of ratios:
Two or more ratios can be compounded.
For example: the ratio compounded of the ratios.
  1. 2:3 and 4:5 is 2 * 4 : 3 * 5
  2. a : b  and c : d is ac : bd
Note: The ratio a : B and B : a are generally different.
For example: the ratio 3:4 is ¾ where as, the ratio, 4:3 is 4/3 and surely ¾ is not equal to 4/3

Example problem for computing ratio:


Example:
In red and green tiles, the ratio of red tiles to green tiles is 2:3. If there is 90 green tiles, how many red tiles are there?
Solution:
Step 1: Assign variables:
Let x = red tiles
Write the items in the ratio as a fraction.
Red / green = 2/3 = x / 90
Step2: Do the cross multiplication
2 * 90 = 3 * x
3 * x = 2 * 90
3x = 180
3x / 3 = 180 / 3
X = 60


Example 2:
The length and width of the rectangle is 4:3 whose perimeter is 350.Find the are of the rectangle.
Solution:
Take the ratio 4:3
Consider 4x be the length and 3x be the width.
Perimeter of the rectangle is =350
That is, 2(l+w)= 350
2(4x+3x)= 350
2*7x=350
14x=350
X=25
Therefore,
The length of the rectangle is 4x= 4*25=100.
The width of the rectangle is 3x=3*25=75

Area of the rectangle = length * width = 100 * 75 = 7500

Ellipse Line Intersection

In this article we discuss ellipse line intersection. Ellipse is a conic section of geometry function. Ellipse can be defined in mathematically a plane passing through the right circular at angle between `0^o` to `90^o` . Ellipse can be included in two points like A1, A2. These two points called  focus.                                                     

ellipse                     

We are taking any two points on an above ellipse, the sum of the distance from the focus points is constant.

Shape of the ellipse line intersection:

The intersection of line in ellipse at centered origin. The line can passing through the points is `(x_o, y_o)` or origin. 

intersection line                            
The formula for ellipse is given below,
x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2=1`
where,
a=horizontal semi- axis
b=vertical semi-axis
 The trigonometry formula for ellipse is,
x=acos(t) and
y=asin(t)
where,
t =ellipse parameter
a=horizontal axis
b=vertical axis

Some important properties of ellipse line intersection:

  • Center of ellipse :                 

It can be defined as connecting the focus points by using inside the single midpoint. It is also called as intersection of major and minor axes.                                             
  • Major and Minor axes:

The longest diameter of the ellipse is called as major axes and shortest diameter of the ellipse is called as minor axes.                               
major/minor                    
  • Tangent:

A line just touching one point on a ellipse is called as tangent.

  • Secant :

The intersection of two points on an ellipse is called as secant.

  • Chord :

It can be defined as a line just linking any 2 points on ellipse. 

Triangle Online

A triangle is one of the basic shapes of geometry: a polygon with three corners or vertices and three sides or edges which are line segments. A triangle with vertices A, B, and C is denoted \triangle ABC. In Euclidean geometry any three non-collinear points determine a unique triangle and a unique plane. (Source: Wikipedia)

Triangular Prism Net

A triangular prism is a solid has two parallel faces which are congruent triangle at both ends. These faces form the bases of the prism

The others faces are in the shape of parallellogram.They are called lateral faces.
A right triangular prism that has its bases perpendicular to its lateral surfaces.

Once you've gone through these, take a look at our Volume of Rectangular Prism for more refernce.

Surface area of triangular prism=2base area+peripeter of base x height prism
Volume of triangular prism = Base area of prism x height of prism.

Under this concept of triangular prism we draw the triangular prism net.
 Prepare the model of triangular prism net ,we need a paper , a pencil or pen, a scissor and gum.

Method of preparing triangular prism net


 First we draw the rectangle and two triangles to two ends of the rectangle on the paper. Then cut out along solid sides.
 Fold along dotted lines.
 Use clear tape to fasten .
 If you want to draw or colour the net,do it before you tape it together.
 If you want to decorate it by gluing on decorations, tape it together first.

Quadrilateral Prism Shape

In geometry, an n-sided prism is a polyhedron made of an n-sided polygonal base, a translated copy, and n faces joining corresponding sides. Thus these joining faces are parallelograms. All cross-sections parallel to the base faces are the same (source-Wikipedia). If the prism has four sides then it is called quadrilateral prism. in this article we shall discus about some quadrilateral prism.


Quadrilateral prim shapes:


Cube:

It is one type of quadrilateral prism. Its all dimensions are equal in measure (all side are equal).it has eight vertices. The shape of the cube is shown in below.
Formula for Volume of the cube V= a3 cubic units
Where,
            V = volume of the cube
 a =side length (or edge) of the cube.
Formula for surface area of the cube (A) = 6 a2 square units

Rectangle prism:

It is one type of quadrilateral prism. The shape of the cube is shown in below.
Volume of rectangular solid (V) = length x width x height Cubic units
     = l x w x h cubic unit.
Total surface area of rectangular prism
                                    = 2 (length x breadth + breadth x width + length x height)
                                    =2(lb + bh+ lh) square units

Trapezoidal prism:

It is one type of quadrilateral prism.it has one set of parallel sides. The shape of the trapezoidal prism is shown in the figure.
Volume of trapezoidal prism = l x area of the base cubic units
                                                       l – Length of trapezoidal prism
                              Area of the base= 1/2 x (a + b) x h square units
                                                       a and b are length of parallel sides.
                                                       h – Height

Quadrilateral prism shape - Example problems:
