Mathematics
Quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a solves ax² + bx + c = 0; discriminant D = b² - 4ac determines number of real roots.
Pythagorean theorem: in a right triangle, a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse.
Area formulas: triangle A = ½bh; circle A = πr²; trapezoid A = ½(a + b)h; rectangle A = lw.
Volume formulas: cylinder V = πr²h; cone V = ⅓πr²h; sphere V = 4/3πr³; cuboid V = lwh.
Trigonometric ratios in right triangle: sin = opposite/hypotenuse; cos = adjacent/hypotenuse; tan = opposite/adjacent.
Arithmetic sequence: aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d; sum Sₙ = n/2 (2a₁ + (n - 1)d).
Geometric sequence: aₙ = a₁ · qⁿ⁻¹; sum Sₙ = a₁(qⁿ - 1)/(q - 1) for q ≠ 1.
Percentage: part = (percent/100) × whole; percent change = (new - old)/old × 100%.
Foreign Language (English or German)
English present perfect: have/has + past participle; used for past actions with present relevance or unspecified time.
English conditionals: first (if + present, will + infinitive), second (if + past, would + infinitive), third (if + past perfect, would have + participle).
German cases: nominative (subject), accusative (direct object), dative (indirect object), genitive (possession).
German definite articles: der/die/das (nominative), den/die/das (accusative), dem/der/dem (dative).
German perfect tense: haben or sein + past participle; sein is used with verbs of motion and change of state.
English passive voice: be + past participle; the object of the active sentence becomes the subject.
German modal verbs: können, müssen, dürfen, sollen, wollen, mögen; the main verb goes to the end in infinitive.
English reported speech: shift tense back one step (present → past, past → past perfect) and adjust pronouns and time expressions.
Natural Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics)
Cell organelles: nucleus (control), mitochondria (energy), ribosomes (protein synthesis), chloroplasts (photosynthesis in plants).
Photosynthesis equation: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂; occurs in chloroplasts.
Cellular respiration equation: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy; occurs in mitochondria.
Periodic table groups: alkali metals (group 1), alkaline earth metals (group 2), halogens (group 17), noble gases (group 18).
Chemical reaction types: synthesis (A + B → AB), decomposition (AB → A + B), single replacement, double replacement, combustion.
Newton's laws: 1) inertia; 2) F = ma; 3) action-reaction forces are equal and opposite.
Ohm's law: V = IR; electric power P = VI = I²R = V²/R.
Work and energy: W = Fd cosθ; kinetic energy KE = ½mv²; potential energy PE = mgh.
