Study Notes
Functions and Variables
- A function has unique x-values that pass the vertical line test.
- Domain refers to all possible x-values of a function.
- Range includes all possible y-values.
- A variable is represented by a letter or symbol and does not equal a number.
- The independent variable is the controlled input (x-variable).
- The dependent variable is the outcome that cannot be controlled (y-variable).
Graphing and Types of Functions
- Discrete functions display data as individual points, indicating non-divisible data.
- Continuous functions show data as a smooth curve, representing divisible data.
- The graph of a linear function shows a straight line; quadratic functions form parabolic curves.
Equations and Slopes
- In the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), (m) signifies the slope and (b) the y-intercept.
- Changing (m) alters the steepness of a line.
- Changing (b) shifts the line up or down.
- Slope is calculated as the vertical change divided by the horizontal change.
Intercepts
- The x-intercept is where a graph crosses the x-axis (coordinates ( (x, 0) )).
- The y-intercept is where it crosses the y-axis (coordinates ( (0, y) )).
Inequalities and Systems
- A linear inequality contains inequality symbols (<, >) instead of an equals sign.
- Parallel lines have equal slopes, while perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.
Correlation
- Positive correlation indicates that as one variable increases, the other does as well.
- Negative correlation shows that as one variable increases, the other decreases.
- The correlation coefficient ranges from -1 to 1, reflecting the strength and direction of a relationship.
Sequences and Functions
- Geometric sequences involve multiplying or dividing by a common number.
- Arithmetic sequences involve adding a constant number each time.
- Exponential functions grow or decay at a constant factor over equal intervals.
Quadratics
- The quadratic formula is used to find solutions for quadratic equations: (x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}).
- A parabola has a vertex, which indicates the maximum or minimum value.
Systems of Equations
- A system of equations contains multiple equations with the same variables.
- Solutions occur at points where the lines intersect in a system.
- Substitution and elimination methods are used to solve systems of equations.
Properties and Transformations
- The Distributive Property applies when multiplying a number across terms in parentheses.
- Transformations like vertical and horizontal translations involve shifting a graph without changing its shape.
Regression and Best Fit
- Linear regression helps find the equation of the best fit line through scatterplot data.
- Exponential regression identifies equations for exponential growth or decay.
Special Types of Lines
- A solid line indicates a solution can exist on the line (≥ or ≤).
- A dashed line indicates no solutions exist on the line (< or >).
Additional Concepts
- Positive or negative c correlations reflect a consistent relationship trend.
- An asymptote is a line that a graph approaches but never crosses.
Final Thoughts
- Understanding functions, their graphs, slopes, and intercepts is crucial in algebra.
- Knowing how to identify and manipulate equations will aid significantly in solving algebra problems.
