Study Notes
Set of Numbers
- Natural numbers: N
- Integers: Z
- Rational numbers: Q
- Real numbers: R
Types of Intervals
-
Finite intervals:
- Closed interval: [a, b] = {x : a ≤ x ≤ b}
- Open interval: (a, b) = {x : a < x < b}
- Half open/closed interval: (a, b] = {x : a < x ≤ b} or [a, b) = {x : a ≤ x < b}
-
Infinite intervals:
- [a, ∞) = {x : x ≥ a}
- (−∞, b) = {x : x < b}
- (−∞, ∞) = R
- Note: ∞ and −∞ are symbols, not real numbers.
Cartesian Plane
- A Cartesian plane is a graph with an x-axis and a y-axis, perpendicular to each other.
- The origin (O) is at the center.
- Positive numbers are to the right (x-axis) and above (y-axis) zero; negative numbers are to the left and below.
Line and Slope
- The equation of a line passing through points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is:
- Slope: m = (y2 − y1) / (x2 − x1)
- Equation: y − y1 = m(x − x1)
Transformations of Graphs
-
Vertical stretch/shrink:
- y = cf(x): Stretches the graph of y = f(x) vertically by a factor of c (c > 1)
- y = (1/c)f(x): Shrinks the graph of y = f(x) vertically by a factor of c (c > 1)
-
Horizontal stretch/shrink:
- y = f(cx): Shrinks the graph of y = f(x) horizontally by a factor of c (c > 1)
- y = f(x/c): Stretches the graph of y = f(x) horizontally by a factor of c (c > 1)
-
Reflections:
- y = -f(x): Reflects the graph of y = f(x) about the x-axis
- y = f(-x): Reflects the graph of y = f(x) about the y-axis
The Number e
- e is approximately 2.71828.
The Natural Exponential Function
- f(x) = e^x
One-to-One Functions
- A function f is one-to-one if it never takes on the same value twice: f(x1) ≠ f(x2) whenever x1 ≠ x2.
- Horizontal Line Test: A function is one-to-one if and only if no horizontal line intersects its graph more than once.
Inverse Functions
- The inverse function f^-1 of a one-to-one function f has:
- Domain B (range of f)
- Range A (domain of f)
- Definition: f^-1(y) = x ⇔ y = f(x)
- Note: f^-1(x) ≠ 1/f(x) and [f(x)]^-1 = 1/f(x)
How to Find the Inverse Function
- Write y = f(x).
- Solve for x in terms of y.
- Interchange x and y to get the inverse function: y = f^-1(x).
- The graph of f^-1 is obtained by reflecting the graph of f about the line y = x.
Logarithmic Functions
- General form: y = loga x (a > 0, x > 0)
- Natural logarithmic function: y = ln x = loge x (x > 0)
-
Equivalences:
- y = loga x ⇔ x = a^y
- y = ln x ⇔ x = e^y
-
Properties:
- loga a^x = x (x ∈ R)
- a^loga x = x (x > 0)
- ln e^x = x (x ∈ R)
- e^ln x = x (x > 0)
Laws of Logarithms
- Product rule: loga (xy) = loga x + loga y and ln(xy) = ln x + ln y
- Quotient rule: loga (x/y) = loga x - loga y and ln(x/y) = ln x - ln y
- Power rule: loga (x^r) = r loga x and ln(x^r) = r ln x
Change of Base Formula
- loga x = ln x / ln a (a > 0, a ≠ 1)
