    Study Notes

    Solving Systems of Linear Equations

    • A system of linear equations is formed when two or more linear equations are grouped together.

    • Solutions to a system of equations are values of the variables that make all equations true. Solutions are represented by an ordered pair (x, y).

    • Systems can be solved graphically.

      • If lines intersect, there's one solution (an ordered pair where the lines cross).
      • If lines are parallel, there are no solutions.
      • If lines are the same, there are infinitely many solutions.

    Steps to Solve a System of Linear Equations by Graphing

    • Graph the first equation.
    • Graph the second equation on the same coordinate plane.
    • Determine if the lines intersect, are parallel, or are the same line.
    • Identify the solution:
      • Intersecting lines: Identify the point of intersection.
      • Parallel lines: There is no solution.
      • Same lines: There are infinitely many solutions.
    • Check the solution in both original equations.

    Steps to Solve a System of Equations by Substitution

    • Solve one equation for either variable.
    • Substitute the expression from step 1 into the other equation.
    • Solve the resulting equation.
    • Substitute the solution from step 3 into either original equation to find the other variable.
    • Write the solution as an ordered pair (x, y).
    • Check the solution in both original equations.

    Steps to Solve a System of Equations by Elimination

    • Write both equations in standard form (ax + by = c). If fractions, clear them.
    • Make the coefficients of one variable opposites. Multiply one or both equations to achieve this.
    • Add the equations to eliminate one variable.
    • Solve for the remaining variable.
    • Substitute the solution into either original equation to find the other variable.
    • Write the solution as an ordered pair (x, y).
    • Check the solution in both original equations.

    Solving Systems of Linear Inequalities

    • A system of linear inequalities is formed when two or more linear inequalities are grouped together.

    • Solutions are the values of the variables that make all the inequalities true.

    • Systems can be solved graphically.

      • Graph the boundary line for the first inequality.
      • Shade the appropriate side of the line based on the inequality sign.
      • Repeat steps for the second inequality on the same graph.
      • The overlapping shaded region represents the solution to the system.
      • Check a test point to ensure that it satisfies all inequalities.

    Functions

    • A function associates each member of one set (domain) with a member of another set (codomain).

    • Input variables are independent variables (arguments).

    • Output variables are dependent variables (range/image).

    • The range is a subset of the codomain.

    • Functions can be defined as sets of ordered pairs. No two ordered pairs have the same first component and different second components.

    • A function can be represented by equations. Each input value has one output value.

    • Find the domain of a function by identifying input values and excluding any restrictions. These restrictions include: values that result in an even root of a negative number, denominator values of zero, etc.

    • Check for restrictions when domain involves an equation with a denominator. Set the denominator to zero to determine excluded values.

    • Find the domain of a function by excluding any values of the variable that result in a negative value inside an even root.

    Composite Functions

    • Combining functions so the output of one is the input of the other. (f ∘ g)(x) = f(g(x))

    Inverse Functions

    • A function is bijective (one-to-one and onto) if an inverse function exists.
    • Solve for x. Switch x and y.
    • The domain of the inverse function is the range of the original function.
    • If f is not bijective, an inverse function does not exist.

    Quadratic Equations

    • The standard form of a quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c = 0 (where 'a' is not zero)
    • The quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a, is used to solve for x.

    Graphing Functions

    • Linear functions graph as straight lines. y = mx + b (where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept).
    • Quadratic functions graph as parabolas. f(x) = ax² + bx + c
    • Exponential functions graph as curves that may increase or decrease. f(x) = bx
    • Logarithmic functions graph as curves typically increasing or decreasing. f(x)=logbx

    Exponential Growth and Decay

    • Exponential Growth: A = A0ekt
    • Half-life: A = A0(1/2)t/h
    • Exponential Decay : A = A0e-kt

    Statistics

    • Mean (Average): Sum of observations / Total number of observations.
    • Median: Middle value in ordered data. If even number of values, average the two middle values.
    • Mode: Value that appears most often.
    • Relative Frequency: Frequency of a category / Total frequency.
    • Cumulative Relative Frequency: Sum of relative frequencies up to a given category.
    • Range: Difference between highest and lowest values.

    Probability

    • Probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes.
    • Addition rule for mutually exclusive events: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B).
    • Conditional probability is the probability of an event given that another event has occurred. P(A | B) = P(A and B)/P(B).
    • Permutations count the number of ways to arrange items in a specific order. Combinations count the number of ways to choose items without regard to order.
    • Factorial n! = n * (n-1) * (n-2) ... * 1.

    Finance

    • Simple Interest: I = Prt

    • Compound Interest: A = P(1 + r/n)nt where I=interest, P=principal, r=rate, t=time, n=compounding frequency

    • Continuous Compound Interest: A = Pert
