Study Notes
Quadratic Functions
- The graph of ( -5(x+4)^2-5 ) opens downward with a vertex at (-4, -5).
- The vertex of the parabola ( F(x) = -3(x-5)^2 + 9 ) is located at (5, 9).
- For ( F(x) = 3x^2 + 18x + 31 ), the vertex is (-3, 4).
Function Behavior
- The function ( F(x) = (x+5)^2 + 6 ) increases on the interval [-5, infinity).
- The y-intercept of ( y = x^2 - 2x - 15 ) is (0, -15) and the x-intercepts are (5, 0) and (-3, 0).
- The quadratic inequality ( x^2 - 4x + 3 \geq 0 ) has solutions in the intervals (-∞, 1] and [3, ∞).
Polynomial Operations
- Factoring the polynomial ( x^3 + 5x^2 - 48x - 252 ) given the factor ( x - 7 ) results in ( (x-7)(x+6)^2 ).
- The degree of the polynomial equation ( -6x^2(x-7)(x+3)^3 = 0 ) is 6.
Polynomial Roots
- A polynomial with real coefficients having roots 2, -8, and ( 3+5i ) is expressed as ( (x-2)(x+8)(x-3-5i)(x-3+5i) ).
Solving Equations
- The real solution for ( \sqrt{x} + 13 = x - 7 ) is ( x = 12 ).
- The equation ( (2m-1)^2 - 4(2m-1) - 21 = 0 ) has real and imaginary solutions ( m = -2 ) and ( m = 3 ).
Absolute Value and Intercepts
- The absolute value equation ( |x^2 - 10| = 4 ) yields solutions of ( -\sqrt{6}, \sqrt{6}, -\sqrt{14}, \sqrt{14} ).
- The function ( f(x) = (x-2)^2(x+6) \ exhibits behavior at x-intercepts: (2, 0) touches and (-6, 0) crosses.
Leading Coefficient Test
- For ( y = -x^5 - 2x^3 - 7x + 4 ), as ( x \to \infty ), ( y \to -\infty ).
- The function ( 2x^4 + 2x^2 + x - 5 ) has ( y \to \infty ) as ( x \to -\infty ).
Graph Sketching
- Sketching ( f(x) = -2x(x-2)(x+1) \ results in crossing points at (0,0), (2,0), and (-1,0).
- The graph of ( F(x) = (3x + 2)(x - 2)^2 \ shows crossing at ((-2/3, 0)) and touching at (2, 0).
Rational Functions
- The domain of the rational function ( F(x) = \frac{16}{14-x} ) is (-∞, 14) ∪ (14, ∞).
- For the rational function with intercepts (3, 0) and (0, 4), the domain is (-∞, 3) ∪ (3, ∞), with asymptotes at ( x=3 ) and ( y=4 ).
- The function ( \frac{(x-4)(x+8)}{x^2-1} \ has vertical asymptotes at ( x = 1 ) and ( x = -1 ).
- A horizontal asymptote at ( y = \frac{6}{5} \ is present for ( \frac{6x^2 - 5x - 3}{5x^2 - 9x + 4} ).
Additional Graph Features
- The function ( f(x) = \frac{2x + 1}{x} ) indicates a vertical asymptote at ( x = 0 ) and a horizontal asymptote at ( y = 2 ).
