    Study Notes

    Linear Functions Overview

    • Replacing f(x) with f(x) - 3 results in a vertical shift of the graph down by 3 units.

    Function Evaluation

    • For f(x) = -2x² + 3x + 10, f(1) > f(3), indicating f(1) is a greater value than f(3).

    Function Comparison

    • Function A: f(x) = 6x - 1 has a slope that is twice the slope of Function B.

    Slope and Point Identification

    • The equation of the line through (-3, -1) with a slope of 4 is y = 4x + 11.

    Function Interpretation

    • f(60) = 210 means that a sunflower plant reaches a height of 210 cm at 60 days old.

    Line Equation Derivation

    • The line passing through (-3, 0) and (0, 3) can be expressed as y = x + 3.

    X-Intercept Meaning

    • In the distance function table, the x-intercept (27, 0) represents the time taken to reach the school.

    Velocity Function Analysis

    • The initial velocity of a runner is 4 m/s, stopping after 8 seconds, as shown by the velocity graph.

    Shift in Functions

    • For functions f(x) and g(x) = f(x) + k, the constant k is -2, representing a vertical shift of the graph.

    Domain and Range Representation

    • An ordered pair (5, 10) illustrates a potential domain (input) and range (output) for a factory's production function.

    Vertical Line Representation

    • A vertical line with an x-intercept at 5 is represented by the equation x = 5.

    Graphing Relationships

    • A telephone company's charges can be graphed by connecting points (155, 100) and (245, 200), with a slope of 0.9.

    Function Identification

    • A parabola symmetric about the x-axis, with an x-intercept at -5, does not meet the criteria for being a function.

    Comparison of Linear Functions

    • In comparing linear functions f(x) and g(x), f(x) has a lesser slope but equal y-intercepts to g(x).

    Linear Equation for Car Repairs

    • The car manufacturer’s weekly repair function is linear, represented as f(x) = -5x + 250 after addressing a reduction in repairs over weeks.
