Study Notes
MATH100 Precalculus - Lecture Notes
- Lecture #1: Covers introduction to functions, solving inequalities, and domain and range of a function.
Real Numbers
- Real numbers are the combination of rational and irrational numbers.
- Rational numbers (Q): Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0. Examples: -1/2, 0, 3, 2.5.
- Irrational numbers (Q'): Numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Examples: π, √2, √3
- Integers (Z): Whole numbers, including zero and negative numbers. Examples: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3,...
- Natural numbers (N): Positive whole numbers. Examples: 1, 2, 3,...
Solving Inequalities: Examples
- Example 1: Solving 2x - 4 > 8 results in x > 6. The solution set is x ∈ (6, ∞).
- Example 2: Solving 2x + 1 < -9 results in x < -5. The solution set is x ∈ (-∞, -5).
- Example 3: Solving 1 - 2x < 9 (needs the solution)
- Example 4: Solving 2x² - 3x + 1 ≤ 0 results in the interval [1/2, 1].
- Finding zeros of 2x² - 3x + 1 = 0: x = 1/2 and x = 1.
- Testing intervals to determine the solution set to the inequality.
Absolute Value Inequalities: Examples
- Case 1: |x| < a is equivalent to −a < x < a
- Case 2: |x| > a is equivalent to x < −a or x > a
- Example 1: Solving |x − 3| < 5 results in −2 < x < 8. The solution set is x ∈ (−2, 8).
- Example 2: Solving |2x + 1| > 9 results in x < −5 or x > 4. The solution set is x ∈ (−∞, −5) ∪ (4, ∞).
- Example 3: Solving |3x − 2| + 3 ≥ 11 results in x ≥ 10/3 or x ≤ −2/3. The solution set is x ∈ (−∞, −2/3] ∪ [10/3, ∞).
Function Definition
- A function is a relation that assigns each input value to exactly one output value.
- The notation is y = f(x), where x is the input, y is the output, and f is the function.
- Examples include y = x², y = √x.
- Function examples are plotted (parabolas, sine waves, circles)
The Vertical Line Test
- A graph represents a function if no vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point.
Domain and Range of a Function
-
Domain: The set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.
-
Range: The set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce.
-
Examples:
- Example 1: g(x) = −3x² + 4x + 5 has a domain of all real numbers.
- Example 2: f(x) = (x-4)/(x+3) has a domain of all real numbers except x = -3.
- Example 3: f(x) = (x+1)/((x-3)(x+5)) has a domain of all real numbers except x = 3 and x = -5.
- Example 4: f(x) = 4/(x²−9) has a domain of all real numbers except x = 3 and x = −3
- Example 5: f(x) = (x-1)/(x² + 4x + 3) has a domain of all real numbers except x = −1 and x=−3
