Study Notes
Algebra Concepts
- Domain: The set of all possible input values (X-values) for a function.
- Range: The set of all possible output values (Y-values) for a function.
Functions
- Y=X²: The parent function for quadratic functions, demonstrating parabolic behavior.
- Steepness: A line's slope determines its steepness; changing the slope affects how steep the line appears.
- Vertical Shift: Modifying the Y-intercept of a line results in a vertical shift up or down.
Slope Characteristics
- Negative Slope: A line that decreases from left to right indicates a negative slope.
- Positive Slope: A line that increases from left to right indicates a positive slope.
- Slope Definition: Frequently described as the "rate of change," representing the rise over run in a graph.
Correlation Types
- Positive Correlation: Scatterplots that trend upwards, indicating that as one variable increases, so does the other.
- Negative Correlation: Scatterplots that trend downwards, indicating that as one variable increases, the other decreases.
- No Correlation: Scatterplots with no discernible pattern show data points scattered randomly.
Equation Solutions
- X-Intercepts: Also referred to as zeros, roots, or solutions, these are the points where a function crosses the X-axis.
- Quadratic Equations: To solve quadratic equations, set the equation equal to zero (0) before proceeding.
- Vertex: The highest or lowest point on a parabola, crucial for understanding the function's maximum or minimum behavior.
Graphing Characteristics
- Line: The graphical representation of a linear function results in a straight line.
- U-Shaped (Parabola): Quadratic functions are represented graphically as a U-shaped curve.
- Boundary Line: In inequality graphs, if the boundary line is dashed, then points on the boundary are not included in the solution set.
Systems of Equations
- Intersection: The solution to a system of equations is found at the point where the lines intersect on a graph.
