Functions and Operations


A Short Table of Functions
 


1. The absolute value of a number, |n|.
Enter negatives as "-x" rather than "- x"
||
 
 


2. The square root of a number, (n).
The domain on this page is nonnegative values.
 
 

3. A Number to a Power.
Please do not use fractions. Rewrite the fraction as a decimal or integer number.
x:       y:  
 
 
4. The log of a number,
The domain on this page is positive values. Rounding of the result is necessary.

5. The perimeter, P(L, W) = 2(L) + 2(W), or the
area, A(L, W) = (L)(W), of a rectangle.
 
Width:  
Lenght:   
 
    is

6. Since all sides of a square are the same length,
the length equals the width, L = W.
    The perimeter is four times the lenght:
P(L, W) = 2(L) + 2(W) = 2(L) + 2(L) = 4(L)
    The area is the length squared:
A(L, W) = (L)(W) = (L)(L) = L²
The perimeter, P(L) = 4(L) or the
    area, A(L) = L², of a square rectangle.
 
Lenght:   
 
    is

7a. The diagonal of a rectangle,
D(L, W)= (L² + W²).
Width:  
Lenght:   
 
 

7b. The leg of a right triangle,
Unknown Leg = D(hypotenuse, known leg)
= D(H, L)= (H² - L²).
Hypotenuse:  
Known Leg:  
 

8. The are of a triangle, A(b, h)= (½)(b)(h).
height:  
base:   
 
 

9. The area of a trapezoid,
A(b1, b2, h)= (b1 + b2)(h)/2.
  height:  
base:  
other base:  
 

10. Circles are describe in terms of their radius or diameter.

11. Circle's arcs and sectors

    Though radians make these formulas MUCH easier and clearer, this part of the page uses only degrees to measure angles and builds the conversion from degree to radian into the formulas. In the list of units shown below and the other images, the conversion formula is visible. The radians page also has a calculator to convert from radians (based on a circle's angle measure of 2 ) to degrees (based on a circle's angle measure of 360°).

    For the full story, see Arc Formulas and Rational, and Sector Formulas and Rational.

    Click on the image below to see an enlargement of the formulas that are used here.

    Input the data.
  1. radius =
  2. central angle measure in degrees =
  3. time (if needed) =
    Press button to obtain the computed measure.
  1. arc length, s, units of length
  2. linear speed (unit of length)/(unit of time)
  3. angular speed degrees/(unit of time)
  4. area of sector square units

16. High School to College -- Static to Active -- Snap Shot to Movie

    What was just a number in high school and elementary school, might be a function in college.

    This is calculus material: Related Rates -- Think "Movie" not "Snap Shot".

The volume of a cylinder
V = πr²(h)


radius:   units
height:   units



= cubic units
The rate of change of volume of a cylinder
V = πr²(h)
dV/dt = π[2r(dr/dt)h + r²(dh/dt)]
 
radius:   at the given time
height:   at the given time
dr/dt:   units per unit time
dh/dt:   units per unit time
 
= cubic units
= cubic units per unit time
