Study Notes

Equations and Solutions

  • An equation with variables on both sides is ready to solve when there are no parentheses, the variables are combined, and like terms are simplified.
  • Infinite solutions exist when the equation is a true statement for all values.
  • No solution occurs when an equation leads to a false statement.

Functions and Relations

  • Mapping represents a relation or function visually, showcasing the input-output series.
  • A relation consists of a series of input and outputs, while a function is a specific type of relation where each input corresponds to exactly one output.
  • The domain includes all possible inputs, and the range encompasses all possible outputs.

Graphical Concepts

  • Function notation provides an alternative way to express functions.
  • The absolute maximum is the highest point on a graph, while the absolute minimum is the lowest point.
  • Relative maximum and minimum refer to local peaks and valleys, respectively; they cannot be endpoints of a graph.

Axes and Graph Types

  • The x-axis represents the independent variable (inputs, domain) while the y-axis represents the dependent variable (outputs, range).
  • A continuous graph connects all its points, whereas a discrete graph features separate, unconnected points.

Growth and Decay

  • Growth describes a situation where Y increases as X increases.
  • Decay occurs when Y decreases as X increases.

Slope and Lines

  • Slope is calculated using the formula Rise/Run or Y/X.
  • The slope formula is expressed as (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1).
  • A negative slope indicates the line descends from left to right, and a positive slope indicates it ascends.
  • A horizontal line has a slope of 0, while a vertical line has an undefined slope.

Sequences and Formulas

  • An explicit formula is represented as an = a1 + d(n - 1).
  • A recursive formula is expressed as an = an-1 + d.
  • The common difference refers to adding or subtracting the same value repeatedly.

Linear Equations

  • The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C.
  • The x-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis, resulting in Y being zero.
  • Parallel lines maintain the same slope and never intersect, while perpendicular lines intersect at 90 degrees with opposite slopes.

Forms of Equations

  • Slope-intercept form is given by Y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
  • Point-slope form is expressed as y - y1 = m(x - x1).

Systems of Equations

  • A one-solution system is characterized by being constant and independent.
  • An infinite system arises when the equations are constant and dependent.
  • A no-solution system occurs when the lines are inconsistent, indicating they are parallel.
