Study Notes

Linear Functions

  • Linear equations graph as straight lines.
  • The highest exponent in a linear function is 1.

Quadratic Functions

  • Quadratic functions include a variable with an exponent of 2.
  • Graphs of quadratic equations form a parabola, which can open upward or downward.

Exponential Functions

  • Exponential functions have variables in their exponents.

Cubic and Higher Degree Functions

  • Cubic functions contain variables raised to the power of 3.
  • 4th degree functions involve variables raised to the power of 4.

Absolute Value

  • Absolute value represents the distance from zero, disregarding negative signs.

Function Naming

  • The name of a function is based on the highest exponent present.

Characteristics of Lines

  • Horizontal lines maintain a constant Y value.
  • The slope of a horizontal line is 0; vertical lines have an undefined slope.

Asymptotes

  • Asymptotes are lines that approach a curve without ever touching it.

Irrational Numbers

  • Irrational numbers have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansions, e.g., Euler's number (E=2.71828...).

Function Notation

  • f(3) indicates substituting X with 3 to find the corresponding Y value.
  • The equation Y = f(X) shows the relationship between input (X) and output (Y).

Parent Graphs

  • Parent graphs represent the simplest form of functions.
  • Examples include linear parent graph (Y = X) and quadratic parent graph (Y = X²).

Algebra Operations

  • Dividing by a fraction equals multiplying by its reciprocal.
  • An exponent of 0 results in a value of 1.

Vertex of a Parabola

  • The vertex is the highest or lowest point of a parabola.

Finding Intersection Points

  • To determine intersections between a line and a parabola, use a graphing calculator's intersect function.

Classifying Lines and Parabolas

  • Lines are categorized as positive slope, negative slope, 0 slope, or undefined slope.
  • Parabolas fall into two categories: open upward or open downward.

Perfect Squares

  • A number is a perfect square if its square root is a positive integer.
