Study Notes

Polynomial Functions

  • Leading Coefficient Test determines the right & left-hand behavior of a polynomial function's graph; leading coefficient of f(x) = 4x + 2x³ + 1 is 2
  • A polynomial function of degree 1 is a linear function
  • Example of a polynomial function in standard form: f(x) = 5x³ + x² + 6x + 8
  • Midpoint coordinates: ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)

Circles

  • Equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
  • Volume of a rectangular box: V = LWH
  • Given volume 6000 cm³, length 30 cm, width 20 cm; height is 6000 / (30 * 20) = 10 cm.
  • A semi-circle is an arc that spans half the circle.
  • Inscribed angle: an angle formed by two chords that share a common endpoint on a circle; for ∠GOL, if m∠GOL = 1/2, then ∠GOL is inscribed.
  • To graph polynomial functions, find x-intercepts; for y = (x + 4)(x + 2)(x - 1)(x - 3), x-intercepts are -4, -2, 1, and 3.
  • A tangent line intersects a circle at exactly one point.
  • Plotting points accurately is the first step for determining the figure they form.
  • Distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂): √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²).
  • Equation (x - 7)² + (y - 8)² = 100; radius is 10
  • First step in graphing a circle from general form (x² + y² + Dx + Ey + F = 0) is to rewrite it in center-radius form.

Geometry

  • Types of arcs: minor arc (less than 180°), major arc (greater than 180°)

  • Intercepted arc: an arc whose endpoints are on the sides of an inscribed angle. If m∠ABD is needed, first find the measure of its intercepted arc AE.

  • Cubic polynomial functions are relevant to calculating volumes of boxes.

  • Finding the measure of an inscribed angle involves multiplying the measure of its intercepted arc by ½. Polynomial transformation involves converting a polynomial function to standard form.

  • Polynomial functions can have a maximum of n - 1 turning points where n is the degree of the polynomial (This statement isn't always true because a function can have fewer than n-1, e.g., a parabola is a quadratic which means n is 2 and the max turning point may be just 1).

  • A condition for a function to be a polynomial is that the exponents of variables should not be in the denominator.

  • A circle can be divided into six congruent arcs by six points on the circumference; each arc measures 60 degrees.

  • A segment of a circle is part of a circle.

  • The measure of an angle formed by two radii is the same as the measure of the arc between those two radii. (e.g., m∠ LOE = m arc LE).

Graphs

  • Graph end behavior is described as rising to the left & right
  • A chord is a line segment whose endpoints both lie on a circle.
  • A sector of a circle is a region bounded by two radii and an arc.
