Questions and Answers

What does the discriminant of a quadratic equation indicate?

  • The number of real solutions to the equation (correct)
  • The slope of the function's graph
  • The vertex of the quadratic function
  • The maximum or minimum value of the function

    • How do you determine if a function is increasing or decreasing over an interval based on its graph?

  • By examining the slope of the tangent line at points in the interval (correct)
  • By checking the y-values only at the endpoints of the interval
  • By determining the vertex of the function
  • By analyzing the x-intercepts of the graph

    • When given two points on a graph, how can you determine the slope of the line connecting them?

  • By subtracting the y-coordinates and dividing by the difference of the x-coordinates (correct)
  • By finding the product of their x-coordinates
  • By subtracting the y-coordinates and dividing by the x-coordinates

    Study Notes

    Modeling Relationships

    • Construct algebraic functions representing relationships between two variables. Expect six questions on this topic.

    Function Evaluation

    • Determine the output (y-value) of a function given its symbolic representation, a table of values, a graph, or a piecewise definition. Three questions will cover this.

    Function Simplification
