1. m= fa¢( ) is the slope of the tangent line to y= fx( ) at xa= and the equation of the tangent line at xa= is given by y=f(a)+-f¢(a)(xa). 2. fa¢( ) is the instantaneous rate of change of fx( ) at xa= . 3. If fx( ) is the position of an object at time x then fa¢( ) is the velocity of the object at xa= . Basic Properties and Formulas

Law of Sines. The ratio of the sine of an angle and its opposite side is equal across all sides and sine of angles. This gives us the following: sin ↵ sin sin. = = a b c. This equation allows us to solve the cases of SSA, ASA, and AAS. Law of Cosines. Another relationship we can use is that of cosine. We can use the following equations:
