Study Notes
Lines and Slopes
- Standard equation of a line: ( Ax + By = C ) where ( A, B, C ) are real numbers; ( A ) and ( B ) cannot both be zero.
- X-intercept: Found by setting ( y = 0 ) and solving for ( x ); point where the graph crosses the x-axis.
- Y-intercept: Found by setting ( x = 0 ) and solving for ( y ); point where the graph crosses the y-axis.
- Slope (m): Calculated through points ( (x_1, y_1) ) and ( (x_2, y_2) ): [ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} ]
-
Types of lines:
- Vertical line: ( x = \text{constant} ), slope is undefined.
- Horizontal line: ( y = \text{constant} ), slope is zero.
Line Equations
- Slope-intercept form: ( y = mx + b ), where ( m ) is slope and ( b ) is the y-intercept.
- Point-slope form: [ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) ]
- Parallel lines: Lines ( L_1 ) and ( L_2 ) are parallel if ( m_1 = m_2 ).
- Perpendicular lines: Lines ( L_1 ) and ( L_2 ) are perpendicular if ( m_1 = -\frac{1}{m_2} ).
Order of Operations and Exponent Rules
- Order of operations (PEMDAS): Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
- Key exponent rules:
- ( a^0 = 1 ), ( a^1 = a )
- ( a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n} )
- ( \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} )
- ( (a^m)^n = a^{mn} )
- ( (ab)^n = a^n b^n )
Inequalities and Functions
- When multiplying or dividing inequalities by a negative number, flip the inequality sign.
- Interval notation: e.g., ( x < -3 ) is ( (-\infty, -3) ); ( x \leq 5 ) is ( (-\infty, 5] ); ( x \geq 0.63 ) is ( [0.63, \infty) ).
- A function corresponds each x-value to exactly one y-value.
- The domain of a function includes all x-values that yield a real number; the range includes all resulting y-values.
Factoring Techniques
- Steps in factoring:
- Check for a GCF (Greatest Common Factor) and factor out.
- Use grouping for 4 terms or apply specific methods for 2 or 3 terms.
- Zero Product Property states if ( ab = 0 ), then ( a = 0 ) or ( b = 0 ).
Complex Numbers
- Imaginary unit: ( i = \sqrt{-1} ) and ( i^2 = -1 ).
- A complex number has the form ( a + bi ) with real ( a ) and ( b ).
- Complex conjugates ( a + bi ) and ( a - bi ) yield a positive real number when multiplied.
Quadratic and Difference Quotient
- Quadratic Formula: Solutions to ( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 ): [ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} ]
- Difference Quotient: [ \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} ]
Graphs and Transformations
- Changes that affect y-values occur on the outside of a function, while changes that affect x-values occur on the inside.
- Examples of functions to graph include squares, absolute values, and cube functions.
These notes encompass essential definitions, rules, and examples necessary for understanding lines, functions, factoring, and other algebraic concepts.
