🔍
"Solve any quadratic like a pro!"
2. Factoring
ax² + bx + c = (dx + e)(fx + g)
📌
"Hunt for factors that multiply to c!"
3. Vertex Form
"Peak at (h, k)!" ⛰️
y = a(x - h)² + k
4. Completing the Square ⬛
x² + bx + (b/2)² = (x + b/2)²

🔥 Exponents & Logarithms
1. Exponent Rules ⚡
○ aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ
○ (aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ
🔄
○ "Multiply? Add powers! Power of a power? Multiply!"
2. Logarithmic Identity
logₐ(b) = c ⇒ aᶜ = b
📈📉
"Logs undo exponents!"
3. Exponential Growth/Decay
➕ ➖
A = P(1 ± r)ᵗ
"Growth ( ) or decay ( ) over time!"
🧩 Sequences & Series
