Study Notes
Core Concepts
- Functions: A relationship between inputs (domain) and outputs (range) where each input corresponds to exactly one output. Key types include linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric.
- Domain & Range: Domain is the set of all possible input values. Range is the set of all possible output values.
- Function Notation:
f(x)represents the output of functionffor inputx. - Transformations: Shifts, stretches, and reflections of functions.
- Inverse Functions: A function
f⁻¹(x)which reverses the action of the functionf(x).
Linear Functions
- Equation:
y = mx + bwheremis the slope andbis the y-intercept. - Slope: Represents the rate of change.
- Parallel lines have equal slopes.
- Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.
Polynomial Functions
- Defined by a finite sum of terms where each term is a variable raised to a non-negative integer power multiplied by a coefficient.
- Degree: The highest power of the variable in the polynomial.
- Fundamental Theorem of Algebra: A polynomial of degree
nhasnroots (real or complex). - Factors: If
ais a root ofP(x), then(x-a)is a factor.
Rational Functions
- Defined as the quotient of two polynomials.
- Domain restrictions: Avoid values that make the denominator zero.
- Asymptotes: Lines that the graph approaches but never touches.
- Vertical asymptotes occur at values where the denominator is zero.
- Horizontal asymptotes are horizontal lines representing the limit as 'x' approaches infinity (positive or negative).
- Oblique asymptotes may exist if the degree of the numerator is greater than the degree of the denominator.
Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
- Exponential functions:
y = a * bˣ. Characterized by constant growth/decay. - Logarithmic functions:
y = logₐ(x). The inverse of exponential functions. - Properties of logarithms: Product, quotient, power rules. Common logarithms use base 10. Natural logarithms use base
e.
Trigonometric Functions
- Sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, cosecant.
- Unit circle definitions: Relationships between angles and points on the unit circle.
- Trigonometric identities: Equations that hold true for all valid input values.
Sequences and Series
- Arithmetic sequences: Sequences with a common difference.
- Geometric sequences: Sequences with a common ratio.
- Arithmetic series: The sum of terms in an arithmetic sequence.
- Geometric series: The sum of terms in a geometric sequence.
- Infinite geometric series: Under specific conditions, the sum converges to a finite value.
