1

How do you point out a function?

When there is one output value for every x-value

New cards
2

How to determine the domain of a function?

set denominator of action equal to zero

New cards
3

2 RULES

  1. anything divided by zero is undefined

  2. negative in a square root

New cards
4

when writing parentheses

the lower number always goes first!

New cards
5

cosine

adjacent/hypotenuse

New cards
6

Sine

opposite/hypotenuse

New cards
7

Tangent

Oppisite/ adjacent

New cards
12

When finding angles on Unit Circle CSC, SEC, COT

csc→1/Y

sec→ 1/x

Cot→ x/y

(x,y)→ are your coordinates!!

New cards
13

a^2+b^2=c^2

c^2 is always your hypotenuse

New cards
14

Remember !!

no square roots on denominator!

New cards
15

Compound Interest Formula!

A=P(1+r/n)^rn

P=Principe balence

r= interest rate

n= number of times interest applied per time period

t= number of time periods elapsed

New cards
16

What do you do for a Quadratic Function

-Add to middle

-Multiply to end

New cards
17

Slope Intercept form

y=mx+b

m=slope

x=variable

b=y-intercept

y=variable

New cards
18

Slope

rise/run

  • y2-y2/x2-x1

New cards
19

Quadrents

numbered counter-clock wise area contained by the x &y axis

New cards
20

x&y plane

plane they form at intersection

New cards
21

Cordinate axis’s

2 fixed coordinate lines that form the cordinate plane

New cards
22

origin

2 lines point of intersection

New cards
23

Quadrents

Counter clock wise

2 1

New cards
24

Distance Formula

√[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²].

New cards
25

Mid Point Formula

26

f (x)

F is a machine creating y out of X

New cards
27

Functions →

can only have One output value for every input value!

New cards
28

When Square root is already present in a function

only one version is necessary

New cards
29

When using square root as a solving technique

both + and -

New cards
30

Bracket [=

included

New cards
31

Parenthesis (=

Excluded

New cards
32

IDENTITY FUNCTION y=-f(x)

x-axis reflection making y-negative

New cards
33

IDENTITY FUNCTION y=f(-x)

y-axis reflection

-making x negative

New cards
34

Notation→ (fog)(x)

F(g(x)

“f of g of x”

New cards
35

if you have 2 x-values

you do the domain for both

New cards
36

Quadratic Function standard form

f(x) = ax2 + bx + c

→ a cannot equal 0

→ b, c can be anything!!

New cards
37

Quadratic Formula for x-intercepts

New cards
38

How to solve for vertex?

x=-b/2a

New cards
39

if in standard form and leading coefficient is postive=

opens up

New cards
40

If leading coefficient is negative and in standard form =

opens down

New cards
41

Steps in solving a Quadratic Equation

  1. Opens up/down

  2. X-intercepts set equation = to zero

  3. Y-intercept , set x=0

  4. Factoring

New cards
42

Exponents both (+) or (-)

→ touches (Bounces)

New cards
43

Opposite

crosses x-axis

New cards
44

x-intercepts

where x=o

New cards
45

Multiplicity even→

graph bounces off x-axis

New cards
46

Multiplicity odd→

graph crosses x-axis

New cards
47

huge/tiny=

normal/tiny=

HUGE

New cards
48

normal/huge=

Still really tiny

New cards
49

tiny/tiny

could be tiny, normal or huge

New cards
50

Whats an asymptote?

a line or a curve that a function goes close to and might NEVER touch

New cards
51

Aysmptotes do NOT ..

X-axis

New cards
52

Rational Functions

a function defined as the quotient (division) of two polynomials

New cards
53

Asmpytotes may..

never be touched or be crossed by a function

New cards
54

Asymptotes of Polynomials

standard form

<p>standard form</p>
New cards
55

In order to solve for vertical asymptotes

set denominator equal to zero

New cards
56

How do you get a hole!

cancels out completely

New cards
57

How to find horizontal asymptotes

  1. if top is heavy there is no horizontal asymptote

  2. If the exponents are the same then divide both number

  3. If bottom is heavy then it is zero

New cards
58

Rational functions.

x- intercept →numerator

domain→ denominator

New cards
59

Orignial formula (Continious compounding interest formula)

P(t)=Pe^rt

p=principal

e= e on calculator

r= rate of interest

t=time in years

New cards
60

y=log a ^x

form

New cards
61

Exponential Form

base^exponent= result

a^t=R

New cards
62

Logarithmic form
