What do you want to know? These are not equations with fancy names.
 
3 is from wave dynamics...I don't know if it has a name, but it describes the speed of a wave in terms of its wavelength and frequency or period.

5 relates angular frequency to ordinary frequency.

2 and 6 describes the acoustic harmonics of a tube...I think 2 describes an open tube, 6 a tube that is closed on one end.
 
2. and 6. do not need to be associated with acoustics, they are very general parts of solutions to that type of partial differential equation. 1 could arise in any number of ways, it looks like the solution to a PDE, like Laplace's equation. 4 and 5 are pretty self explanatory. 7 looks like it describes a reflection magnitude. 8 is a thin lens equation.
 
i'm just trying to locate them in the textbook, so basically i'd like to know which section they belong in

thanks for the help so far

It would be a good idea to have an index of formulas in textbooks
