Study Notes
Advanced Algebra: Diving Deeper into Mathematical Relationships
- Advanced Algebra builds upon basic algebra, exploring more complex concepts and real-world applications.
- Key concepts include quadratic equations and functions, polynomials, inequalities, and functions.
Quadratic Equations and Functions
- Quadratic equations are in the form ax² + bx + c = 0.
- Solving quadratic equations:
- Factoring: Finding factors to solve (e.g., x² + 5x + 6 = 0 factors to (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0, so x = -2 or x = -3).
- Completing the square: A method to rewrite the equation in a perfect square form.
- Quadratic formula: A formula that always works to find the solutions: x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a.
- Discriminant (b² - 4ac): Indicates the nature of the roots:
- Positive: Two distinct real roots
- Zero: One real repeated root
- Negative: Two complex roots
- Quadratic functions: Equations of the form f(x) = ax² + bx + c, graphed as parabolas.
- Roots are the x-intercepts.
- The vertex represents the maximum or minimum value.
- The axis of symmetry is a vertical line through the vertex.
Polynomials
- Polynomials are expressions with variables raised to non-negative integer powers.
- Operations with polynomials: Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.
- Finding roots of polynomials: Finding values of x that make the polynomial equal to zero. Methods include factoring, the Rational Root Theorem, and synthetic division.
Inequalities
- Inequalities compare expressions using <, >, ≤, or ≥.
- Solving inequalities is similar to solving equations, but dividing or multiplying by a negative reverses the inequality sign.
- Graphical interpretation: Solutions are regions on the number line or coordinate plane.
Functions
- Functions relate inputs to outputs (each input has one output).
- Types of functions include linear, quadratic, polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric.
- Function notation: f(x) represents the output of function f when the input is x.
- Domain: Possible input values
- Range: Possible output values
- Transformations of functions: Shifts, stretches, and reflections affect the graph. Example shifts up, down, left, or right.
- Graphs visually represent relationships between inputs and outputs. Key features include intercepts, vertices, and asymptotes.
