Three dimensions: Distance between two points

The distance between two points in three-dimensional space can be found using the following formula: d = √((x2 – x1)^2 + (y2 – y1)^2 + (z2 – z1)^2) where (x1, y1, z1) and (x2, y2, z2) are the coordinates of the two points, and d is the distance between them. To use the formula, you…

Normal and Chord

Normal and chord are terms used in music theory to describe two different concepts. A normal, also known as a scale degree, is a note in a musical scale. It refers to the position of a note within a particular scale, typically indicated by a number. For example, in the C major scale, the note…

Centroid

In analytical geometry, the centroid of a plane figure is the point where its medians intersect. A median is a line segment connecting a vertex of the figure to the midpoint of the opposite side. The centroid is often referred to as the “center of mass” or “center of gravity” of the figure, as it…

Distance between two points

In analytical geometry, the distance between two points in a plane is given by the distance formula: d = sqrt((x2 – x1)^2 + (y2 – y1)^2) where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points and d is the distance between them. To use the formula, simply substitute the values of…

Trigonometric functions

Trigonometric functions are mathematical functions that relate the angles of a right triangle to the lengths of its sides. The most commonly used trigonometric functions are sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan). These functions can be defined in terms of the sides of a right triangle as follows: In addition to these three functions,…

Standard deviation and variance of grouped and ungrouped data

Standard deviation and variance are measures of variability that provide information about how spread out a dataset is. The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, and it measures the average deviation of each data point from the mean. In general, the larger the standard deviation or variance, the more spread out the…

Mean deviation

Mean deviation is a measure of variability that describes the average difference between the values in a dataset and their mean. It is also known as mean absolute deviation (MAD). The formula for calculating the mean deviation is: Mean Deviation = (Σ |xi – x̄|) / n where: Σ represents the sum of the absolute…

Determinant of a square matrix of order up to three

The determinant of a square matrix of order up to three can be calculated as follows: For a 1×1 matrix: The determinant of a 1×1 matrix is simply the value of the only element in the matrix. For a 2×2 matrix: The determinant of a 2×2 matrix is calculated as follows: |a b| |c d|…

Matrices Elementary row and column transformations

Matrices are mathematical objects consisting of rows and columns of numbers. They are commonly used in many fields of mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science. One of the most important concepts in matrix theory is the idea of elementary row and column transformations. These are operations that can be performed on a matrix to transform…
