Study Notes
Key Equations and Concepts
- Circumference of a Circle: C = 2πr; rearranged to solve for radius: r = C/2π.
-
Common Linear Equation Forms:
- Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
- Point-Slope Form: y - y1 = m(x - x1), used when a point and slope are known.
Solving Linear Equations
- Typical solving strategy: isolate the variable through addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.
- Example: -4(2x − 1) = −6(x + 2) − 2 results in x = 9.
- Example: From -2x − 13 = 8x + 7, deduced x = -2.
Functions and Their Inverses
- For a function f(x) = ax + b, the inverse process involves swapping x and y, leading to f^−1(x).
- Example: f(x) = 2x + 2; solving f^−1(x) gives x = 4.
- Composition of functions: f(g(x)) requires evaluating the outer function at the result of the inner function.
Graphing and Slopes
- Slope Calculation: The slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
- Example: Slope between (3, -4) and (-2, 1) is -1.
- Horizontal line has a slope of 0; vertical line is undefined.
Linear Models in Context
- Example: A function representing rainfall f(w) = 2.5w + 3 indicates that 3 is the baseline rainfall before week 1.
- Example: Alex saves money modeled by M = 6h + 2, denoting initial savings and rate of saving.
Errors and Reasoning in Problem Solving
- Identifying mistakes in calculations is crucial. Example: Aaron erred by subtracting incorrectly in solving the equation.
- Understanding the order of operations and justifying each step is essential for accurate results.
Special Function Characteristics
- Functions like f(x) = x^2 + 3x + 6 can yield specific outputs for given x-values through substitution.
- Ensure that the range for practical functions, such as the number of text messages sent, only includes integers.
Application Problems
- Real-world problems, like Joe's earnings model, combine fixed rates and variable conditions to derive total outcomes.
- A fish tank model (F = 0.4P) helps quantify relationships between variables such as fish count and plant presence.
Visual Characteristics of Graphs
- A falling line indicates a negative slope, such as x = -5, which is a vertical line.
- The y-intercept is often determined by substituting x = 0 in the equation.
