Study Notes
AP Precalculus - 1.1 to 2.14
-
1.1 - Functions and Function Notation:
- A function is a relation where each input (domain) is associated with exactly one output (range).
- Function notation (
f(x)) shows the output of a function (f) for a given input (x). - Identify functions from graphs, tables, and equations.
-
1.2 - Linear Functions:
- Linear functions have a constant rate of change, graphing as straight lines.
- Slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b(wheremis the slope,bthe y-intercept). - Point-slope form:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) - Find a line's equation given two points or a point and slope.
- Understand parallel and perpendicular lines.
-
1.3 - Transformations of Functions:
- Transformations include shifts (vertical, horizontal), reflections (x-axis, y-axis), stretches/compressions (vertical, horizontal).
- Transformations affect the graph of a function.
- Combine transformations to describe a function's graph.
-
1.4 - Quadratic Functions:
- Quadratic functions are in the form
f(x) = ax² + bx + c(where a, b, and c are constants, and a ≠ 0). - Quadratic graphs are parabolas.
- Find the vertex, x-intercepts, and y-intercept of a parabola.
- Understand standard and vertex forms of a quadratic equation.
- Solve quadratic equations by factoring, completing the square, and using the quadratic formula.
- Quadratic functions are in the form
-
1.5 - Polynomial Functions:
- Polynomial functions are in the form
f(x) = aₙxⁿ + aₙ₋₁xⁿ⁻¹ +...+ a₁x + a₀. - Understand degree, leading coefficient, and end behavior of polynomial graphs.
- Find zeros and factors of a polynomial.
- Polynomial functions are in the form
-
1.6 - Rational Functions:
- Rational functions are the quotient of two polynomial functions (often in the form
f(x) = p(x)/q(x)). - Identify vertical, horizontal, and oblique asymptotes in rational functions.
- Analyze rational function behavior at asymptotes and key points.
- Rational functions are the quotient of two polynomial functions (often in the form
-
1.7 - Exponential and Logarithmic Functions:
- Exponential functions are in the form
f(x) = a^x(where a > 0 and a ≠ 1). - Logarithmic functions are the inverses of exponential functions.
- Understand properties of logarithms and exponents.
- Apply exponential growth/decay models.
- Understand the natural base
ein exponential growth/decay.
- Exponential functions are in the form
-
1.8 - Inverse Functions:
- Inverse functions reverse each other (
f(f⁻¹(x)) = xandf⁻¹(f(x)) = x). - Find the inverse of a function algebraically and graphically.
- Determine if a function has an inverse.
- Inverse functions reverse each other (
-
1.9 - Trigonometric Functions:
- Understand the six trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, cotangent) and their unit circle relationships.
- Apply trigonometric identities and their uses.
- Evaluate trigonometric functions for various angles.
- Graph trigonometric functions.
-
1.10 - Trigonometric Identities and Equations:
- Prove and use fundamental trigonometric identities (e.g., Pythagorean identities).
- Solve trigonometric equations.
-
1.11 - Trigonometric Graphs:
- Graph various trigonometric functions, including transformations.
-
2.1-2.14 (Sections of Chapter 2):
- These sections likely expand on chapter 1 topics.
- More advanced applications, graphs, equations, problem-solving, and mathematical modeling are likely included.
- Specific topics depend on the content of chapter 2.
