Study Notes

Relations, Functions, and Linear Relations

Relations show the association between two sets of elements
Relations can be represented using ordered pairs, tables of values, arrow diagrams, graphs, and equations

Representing Relations

Ordered pairs: (element, element)
Tables of values: lists x and y values
Arrow diagrams: arrows connect elements in the first set to elements in the second set.
Graphs: visual display of data on a coordinate plane
Equations: mathematical expressions representing relationships between variables
Words (description): verbal descriptions of the relationship between sets

Determining if a Relation is a Function

A function is a special type of relation where each input has exactly one output
Check for repeated x-values: no repeated x-values means it's a function
Use the vertical line test (VLT): If a vertical line intersects the graph of a relation more than once, it is not a function

Independent and Dependent Variables

Independent variable (x): The values that can be chosen freely in a relation
Dependent variable (y): Values that change based on the independent variable
Domain: set of all possible x-values (input values)
Range: set of all possible y-values (output values)

Function Notation

f(x) notation replaces "y" in an equation. f(x) means the output value of the function for a given input x.

Interpreting and Sketching Graphs

Analyzing graphs for trends (increasing, decreasing, constant)
Identifying intercepts (where the line crosses the axes): x-intercept (y = 0); y-intercept (x = 0)
Calculating slopes to determine the rate of change.
Calculating speeds using the slope (distance/time).

Discrete vs. Continuous Data

Discrete data: distinct, separate values (e.g., number of people) - represented with unconnected points
Continuous data: values that can take on any value within an interval (e.g., time) - represented with connected lines.

Rate of Change

Rate of change/slope describes how a dependent variable changes in relation to a change in an independent variable (Δy/Δx).
The slope of a line is the rate at which y varies with respect to x (rise over run).

Properties of Linear Relations

Linear relations have a constant rate of change/slope
Graph is a straight line
Can be expressed in the form y = mx +b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

General Form of a Line

Ax + By + C = 0 (where A, B, and C are constants)

Slopes of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

Parallel lines: same slope
Perpendicular lines: negative reciprocal slopes
