I will give examples of what we have done so far, hopefully that will help

finding the incenter and equation of a triangle given 3 points, A, B, and C while finding the distance with the formula

Quote:

d = (ax + by + c) / sqrt(a^2 + b^2)
Find the circumcenter of a Triangle given A, B, C

Find a, b, and c with the formula

Quote:

ax^2 + bx + c = y
working with radicals (just starting now)

equation systems. Eg:

Quote:

2x + y = 10
x - 2y = 4
but more complicated.

and linear programming

eg:

manufactures A and B have 5 cars each, and dealers C and D need 5 cars each.

To ship from A to C costs ... etc

What is the optimal shipping plan to reduce cost?

etc

Hope that helped
