I have a test tommorow over: Vectors, Parametrics, Projectile Motion, Polar Functions (coordinates & Equations), Trig Form of Complex #'s.

my question is are there any tricks or hints i could use to remember things while i study?

thankyou, +k for any good responses
 
Projectile Motion

horizontal component: vx = dx/t , where dx is the change in distance in the x direction, vx is the x component of the velocity of the projectile.

vertical component: dy = vy*t - .5gt^2 , where dy is the change in distance in the y direction, vy is the y component of the velocity, and g is the acceleration of gravity.

in both cases, t = time the projectile spends in the air and it is the same in both the x and y directions, as the time taken for the projectile to travel along the ground is intuitively going to be the same amount of time it spends in the air.

vy = vsin(angle) and vx = vcos(angle) , provided the angle was given between the horizontal plane and the trajectory of the projectile.
 
Study? I never once had to study in Pre-calc; it was the easiest math class I've ever taken. You are a complete idiot for needing to study.
 
i wish i had your teacher then, pre-calc sucked ass!
but i'm assuming that you have a graphing calculator, so go to your programs and type some notes in!
 
Get a good calculator. Some scientific calculators have a mode for complex numbers. Graphing calculators will pretty much do it all.
Learning it will help the most. Do practice problems if you don't get something.
