Circle:
The equation 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 + 2𝑔𝑥 + 2𝑓𝑦 + 𝑐 = 0 represents a circle centre (−𝑔 , −𝑓) and radius √𝑔2 + 𝑓 2 − 𝑐 .
The equation (𝑥 − 𝑎)2 + (𝑦 − 𝑏)2 = 𝑟 2 represents a circle centre (𝑎, 𝑏) and radius 𝑟.

Scalar Product: a.b = |a||b| 𝒄𝒐𝒔𝜃, where 𝜃 is the angle between a and b

𝑎1 𝑏1
or a.b = 𝑎1 𝑏1 + 𝑎2 𝑏2 + 𝑎3 𝑏3 where a = ( 2 ) and b = ( 2 ).

Trigonometric formulae: sin (𝐴 ± 𝐵) = sinAcosB ± cosAsinB

cos (𝐴 ± 𝐵) = cosAcosB ∓ sinAsinB

sin2A = 2sinAcosA

cos2A = cos2 A − sin2 A

= 2cos2 A − 1
