Study Notes

Vectors and Geometry

  • Given P(12,4) and Q(-4,6), the magnitude of the vector PQ is 2√65.
  • Let u = 8,-5 and v = -10,-3, then v - u = -18,2.
  • Let u = 3,-5 and v = 4,8, then u · v = -28.
  • Let u = 5,-5, the unit vector in the direction of u is 1/√2, -1/√2.
  • The angle between the vectors 4,3 and 3,5 is 22.2°.

Series and Sequences

  • The common ratio of the infinite geometric series 2 + 1/8 + 1/32 + ... is 1/4.
  • The expression equivalent to (n+2)! / (n)! is (n+2)(n+1).
  • The sum of the infinite series Σ(4/5)^i from i = 1 to infinity is 4/5.
  • The two-hundredth term of the sequence 1, 5, 9, 13, ... is 797.
  • The series 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 is a finite geometric series.
  • The sum of the infinite series Σ(4/5)^i from i = 1 to infinity is 4/5.
  • The sum 12 + 15 + 18 + 21 + 24 can be written in sigma notation as Σ(3n+9) from i = 0 to 4.
  • The nth term of the sequence 15, 45, 135, 405, ... is a_n = 15(3^(n-1)).

Exponential Functions

  • If log_a(2) = x and log_a(3) = y, then log_a(3/2) = y - x.
  • The domain of the function f(x) = -log2(x+1) is (-1, ∞).
  • If the graph of f(x) = 3^x is shifted 4 units to the right, the equation of the transformed graph is f(x) = 3^(x-4).

Applications

  • If Higgins wants to triple her money in 7.5 years, she needs to obtain an interest rate of 14.61% compounded monthly.
  • The number of United States citizens who traveled to foreign countries in 2005 can be modeled using an exponential model, and is approximately 66.2 million.
