Below are ten mathematical formulas explained:
This is the Pythagorean theorem, where a and b are the lengths of the two shorter sides of a right triangle, and c is the length of the hypotenuse.
This is the derivative of the exponential function e^x with respect to x. It equals the exponential function itself.
This represents the definite integral of a function f(x) from a to b. It calculates the area under the curve of f(x) between a and b.
This is the formula for the sum of the first n positive integers. It's also known as the arithmetic series formula.
This is the binomial coefficient formula, which calculates the number of ways to choose k items from a set of n items without regard to the order.
This is the derivative of the sine function with respect to x, which equals the cosine function.
This is Euler's formula, which relates the exponential function with trigonometric functions. i is the imaginary unit.
This notation represents the limit of a function f(x) as x approaches a which equals L.
This is the power rule for differentiation, which gives the derivative of x^n with respect to x.
This is the power rule for integration, which gives the antiderivative of x^n with respect to x.
