Study Notes
Algebra 2 - Semester 1 Final A
-
Y-intercept: An ordered pair where the graph crosses the y-axis. The x-coordinate is always 0.
-
Domain: The set of all x-coordinates in a relation or function.
-
Range: The set of all y-coordinates in a relation or function.
-
Example Relation Range: For the relation {(-4, 1), (-2, 0), (8, -1)}, the range is {-1, 0, 1}.
-
Example Relation Domain: For the relation shown in question 5, the domain is {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3}.
-
Graphing Relations: Plotting ordered pairs on a graph to understand relationships between x and y values.
-
Vertical Line Test: Used to determine if a graph represents a function. If any vertical line intersects the graph in more than one point, it is not a function.
-
Translations (Graph Transformations): Shifting a graph horizontally or vertically. A shift to the left adds to the x-value, a shift to the right subtracts from the x-value, a shift up adds to the y-value, and a shift down subtracts from the y-value.
-
Examples of Function Transformations
- (x-4): shift right 4 units
- (x+4): shift left 4 units
- f(x) - 4: shift down 4 units
- f(x) + 4: shift up 4 units.
-
Vertex form of a quadratic function: y = a(x-h)^2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex.
-
Factored form: An expression written as a product of polynomials.
-
Example of finding the vertex and axis of symmetry: The vertex of y= 2(x+2)^2-4 is (-2,-4), and the axis of symmetry is x=-2.
-
Quadratic Function Solutions (Roots/Zeros): Solutions to quadratic equations, often found using the quadratic formula or factoring.
-
Quadratic Formula: A formula that gives the solutions to quadratic equations in the form ax² + bx + c = 0.
-
Imaginary Numbers (i): i = √-1
-
Classifying Polynomials (by degree):
- Linear: degree 1
- Quadratic: degree 2
- Cubic: degree 3
- Quartic: degree 4
- Quintic: degree 5
-
Synthetic Division: A method for dividing polynomials by a linear factor.
-
Graphing polynomial functions: Determining the zeros and shape.
-
Important concepts from the last questions: Finding the graph that represents the polynomial, factoring to find the appropriate values, and writing polynomial equations.
