Study Notes
Coordinate Systems and Graphing Functions
Overview of Coordinate Systems
- A coordinate system is a way to locate points in space using a set of numerical values.
- Common types of coordinate systems:
- Cartesian coordinate system (x, y, z)
- Polar coordinate system (r, θ)
- Cylindrical coordinate system (r, θ, z)
- Spherical coordinate system (ρ, θ, φ)
Graphing Functions in Cartesian Coordinate System
- In the Cartesian coordinate system, each point is represented by an ordered pair (x, y).
- The graph of a function f(x) is the set of all points (x, f(x)) in the coordinate plane.
- To graph a function:
- Create a table of values for the function.
- Plot the points from the table on the coordinate plane.
- Connect the points with a smooth curve.
Characteristics of Graphs
- Domain: The set of all x-values for which the function is defined.
- Range: The set of all y-values that the function can take.
- Intercepts: Points where the graph intersects the x-axis (x-intercepts) or y-axis (y-intercepts).
- Asymptotes: Lines that the graph approaches as x approaches a certain value.
Graphing Functions: Important Concepts
- Function notation: f(x) represents the output value of the function for a given input x.
- Domain and range restrictions: Restrictions on the domain and range can affect the shape of the graph.
- Transformations: Shifts, reflections, and scaling can be applied to graphs to create new functions.
Graphing Functions: Types of Graphs
- Linear graphs: Straight lines with a constant slope.
- Quadratic graphs: Parabolas that open upward or downward.
- Exponential graphs: Curves that rise or fall rapidly.
- Trigonometric graphs: Periodic curves that repeat at regular intervals.

Renewable Energy
- Energy generated from natural resources that can be replenished over time
- Includes solar energy from sunlight, wind energy from wind, biomass energy from organic matter, and hydro energy from moving water
- Sustainable and renewable, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and diversifying energy portfolio
- Challenged by intermittent energy supply and high upfront costs
Hydroelectric Power
- Energy generated from the movement of water in rivers, oceans, and man-made reservoirs
- Water is stored behind a dam and released through turbines to generate electricity
- Offers high energy conversion efficiency, low operating costs, and relatively low environmental impact
- Dependent on water supply and requires high upfront costs for dam construction
Fossil Fuels
- Energy generated from ancient plants and animals buried for millions of years
- Includes coal, oil, and natural gas
- Extracted and refined, then combusted to generate electricity or power vehicles
- Offers high energy density, well-established infrastructure, and relatively low cost
- Contributes to climate change, is a finite resource, and has environmental and health impacts
Nuclear Power
- Energy generated from the fission of atomic nuclei
- Nuclear reactors split atoms, releasing energy, which is used to generate steam and drive turbines
- Offers low greenhouse gas emissions, high energy density, and relatively low operating costs
- Challenged by high upfront costs for reactor construction, nuclear waste disposal concerns, and risk of accidents and radiation exposure
Geothermal Energy
- Energy generated from heat stored in the Earth's core
- Hot water or steam from underground reservoirs is pumped to the surface to generate electricity
- Offers renewable and sustainable energy, low greenhouse gas emissions, and relatively low operating costs
- Limited by geographical suitability and high upfront costs for exploration and drilling
