Study Notes
Determining Functions
- A function is determined by checking if each input corresponds to exactly one output.
Quadratic Functions
- To determine the minimum or maximum of a quadratic function, find the vertex of the parabola.
Exponential Functions
- A given exponential function represents growth if the base is greater than 1, and decay if the base is between 0 and 1.
Trigonometric Functions
- The period of a trigonometric function $y = A\cos(Bx)$ is $\frac{2\pi}{B}$, where $B$ is the coefficient of $x$.
- The period of the trigonometric function $y = 3\cos(4x)$ is $\frac{2\pi}{4} = \frac{\pi}{2}$.
Amplitude of Trigonometric Functions
- The amplitude of a trigonometric function is the absolute value of the coefficient of the cosine term.
Simplifying Algebraic Expressions
- The first step in finding an equivalent expression to a given algebraic expression is to remove any parentheses by applying the distributive property.
