    Study Notes

    Determining Equation of Lines

    • Two lines g and h are perpendicular
    • Line g passes through points (0,5) and (4,1)
    • Slope of g is (1-5) / (4-0) = -1
    • Equation of g is y = -x + 5
    • Line h passes through (2,3)
    • Using the formula for perpendicular lines, the slope of h is 1
    • Equation of h is y - 3 = 1 (x - 2)
    • Simplify h to y = x + 1
    • Point P is the intersection between g and h
    • Substitute y = -x + 5 into y = x + 1
    • This gives -x +5 = x + 1
    • Solve the equation to find x = 2
    • Substitute x = 2 into y = x + 1
    • This gives y = 3
    • Coordinates of point P are (2, 3)

    Completing the Square

    • Express 4x² - 24x + 31 in the form a(x + h)² + k
    • Step 1: Factor out the coefficient of which is 4
    • Step 2: Complete the square within the parenthesis: Take half of the coefficient of the x term (-6), square it (36) and add and subtract it inside the parenthesis to maintain equality.
    • Step 3: Simplify, move the constant term outside the parenthesis and multiply it by 4
    • 4x² - 24x + 31 becomes 4(x - 3)² - 1
    • The graph is a parabola, since a is positive, the parabola opens upwards
    • The vertex of the parabola is (3, -1)
    • The y-intercept is found by setting x to 0 in the equation, this results in y = 31
    • For the axis of symmetry, the equation is x = 3

    Analyzing a Quadratic Function

    • The graph represents the function f(x) = x² -3x - 3
    • When x = 2, f(x) is -1
    • When x = 1.5, f(x) is - 4.25
    • The values of x for which f(x) = 0 are approximately 3.8 and -0.8
    • The minimum value of f(x) is -4.25
    • The minimum value of f(x) occurs at x = 1.5
    • The solution for x² - 3x - 3 = 5 is found by identifying where the graph intersects the line y = 5
    • The solutions are approximately -1.2 and 4.2
    • The interval on the domain for which f(x) is less than -3 is x < 1.5 and x > 3.8

    Determining Values and Equations

    • The point M is (-1, y) and N is (x, 9)
    • y is found by substituting x = -1 in the equation y = x²
    • y = 1
    • x is found by substituting y = 9 in the equation y = x²
    • x = 3

    Calculating Gradient and Equation of a Line

    • The gradient of line MN is calculated using the formula (9 - 1)/(3 - (-1)) = 2
    • The equation of line MN is y - 1 = 2(x + 1)
    • Simplify the equation to y = 2x + 3
    • The equation of the line parallel to line MN passing through the origin is y = 2x

    Graphing a Quadratic Function

    • Table of values for the function y = -x² + x + 7 is to be completed
    • When x = 2, y is -1
    • When x = 3, y is -5
    • When x = 4, y is -9
    • Using the given scale, the graph of the function is to be drawn
    • The maximum point of the graph is (0.5, 7.25)
    • The equation of the axis of symmetry is x =0.5
    • The solutions to the equation -x² + x + 7 = 0 are the x-intercepts of the graph, approximately -2.5 and 3
    • The equation of the line passing through the points (-3, -1) and (0, 8) can be determined as follows:
    • Find the slope m: m = (8 - (-1)) / (0 - (-3)) = 3
    • Find the y-intercept c: Substitute the point (0, 8) into the equation y = mx + c and solve for c. This results in c = 8.
    • The equation of the line is y = 3x + 8

    Analyzing a Graph

    • Values of x and y for the function y = x² - 2x - 3 are to be calculated for integer values of x from -2 to 4
    • These values should be recorded in the table provided.
    • Based on the provided table, a graph representing the function should be drawn
