Study Notes
Function Inverses and Composition
- If f(x) = 1/9 - 2, then the inverse function f⁻¹(x) is f⁻¹(x) = 1/9x + 2.
- For any function f(x) and its inverse h(x), the composition h(f(x)) equals f(x).
Linear Models and Predictions
- Population modeling of Center City can use data points from 1990 and 2005 to create a linear equation for population prediction.
- The year with actual population significantly differing from the predicted value must be determined through comparative analysis.
Characteristics of Data Sets
- A linear regression model is unreasonable when the correlation coefficient is close to 0, indicating little to no linear relationship.
Function Calculations and Values
- Evaluating functions: For f(x) = 7 + 4x and g(x) = 1/2x, the value of (f/g)(5) is calculated to be 270.
- Average speed during an interval can be calculated using distance traveled; for 0.75 to 1.00 hours, it is 5 mph.
Graph Representation and Relationships
- Points plotted on a graph can be matched to tables; the points (-2,5), (0,1), (1,-1), and (2,-3) correlate with graph D.
- An even function property implies that for any point (a, b) on the graph, the point (-a, b) must also be on the graph.
Function Properties and Identifications
- An odd function reflects symmetry about the origin; f(x) = -x exemplifies this property.
- For g(x) = 2x² + 1, this function is classified as an even function since f(-x) = f(x).
Mathematical Relationships and Cost
- Costs can be modeled using direct variation; if c = $54 for n = 9, then for n = 3, c = $18.
- The expression (ab)(x), where a(x) and b(x) are linear functions, results in a quadratic function.
Evaluating Graphs as Functions
- A relation’s graph can be assessed for function status by checking the y-axis intersections; only one intersection indicates a function.
- Analysis of scatterplots helps determine correlation; scatterplot D reflects a correlation coefficient closest to r = -1.
Rate of Change and Function Intersection
- The value of a comic book decreases on average by $0.04 each month between the specified months.
- The interval when (f - g)(x) is negative can be identified as (-∞, 2), indicating where the function f lies below g.
