Study Notes

Simple and General Annuity

Annuity involves fixed payments made at equal intervals over a specified time period.
Annuity payment is the amount paid at each interval.
Simple Annuity has the same payment interval as the interest period (e.g., monthly payments compounded monthly).
General Annuity has payment intervals different from the interest period (e.g., monthly payments compounded annually).
Future Value (F) is the sum of the future values of all payments during the annuity term.
Present Value (P) is the sum of the present values of all payments during the annuity term.

Rational Inequalities

Objective: Solve rational inequalities and determine solution sets.
Rational equations involve expressions that can be represented as the ratio of two integers.
Values of x may have more solutions in inequalities than equations due to infinite possibilities.
Critical numbers are values of x that make the numerator and denominator zero.
Solution sets are determined using test points and sign analysis.

Functions

Operations on functions include sum, difference, product, quotient, and composition.
The product of functions f and g is defined as (f * g)(x) = f(x) * g(x).
The quotient of functions is (f/g)(x) = f(x) / g(x), where g(x) ≠ 0.
Composition of functions f and g is denoted as (f o g)(x) = f(g(x)).
Finding the domain of composite functions involves ensuring x is in the domain of g and g(x) is in the domain of f.

Stocks and Bonds

Stocks represent ownership in a company; they can be common (with voting rights) or preferred (prioritized dividends).
Bonds are long-term investments that represent a loan to a corporation or government, promising interest payments and return of principal.
Stocks have higher risks and potentially higher returns, ideal for long-term investments.
Bonds are generally lower risk with guaranteed returns, often suitable for retirees.

Business and Consumer Loans

Business Loans are for business purposes and require collateral, credit checks, and often have shorter terms.
Consumer Loans are for personal purposes; they typically have longer terms and less rigorous follow-ups.
Amortization refers to paying loans in installments that cover both principal and interest.
Mortgages secure loans with real estate, while collateral refers to any asset pledged for a loan.

Inverse Functions

To find the inverse of a function, swap x and y and solve for y.
Example: For f(x) = 3x + 5, the inverse is f^{-1}(x) = (x - 5)/3.

Piecewise Functions

Defined by multiple sub-functions based on intervals of the main function's domain.
Example functions include fare structures or tax brackets, represented in specific conditions.

Evaluating Functions

Evaluating functions involves substituting values from the domain into the function and computing results.
Daily profit or utility bills can be modeled as functions dependent on variable inputs (e.g., items sold, energy used).

Taxation

Tax structure is tiered based on income brackets, with specific rates applied as income increases.
Piecewise functions can effectively represent the taxation system.

Domain and Range

Domain: Set of all real numbers except where the denominator is zero.
Range: All possible values that the function can take based on its inputs.
Identifying domain and range from ordered pairs involves recognizing the first and second coordinates, respectively.
