A² + B² = ?
=( a+b) (a - b)
a² + b² is …..
Prime
a² +2ab+ b² =
(a+b)²
a² - 2ab+ b² =
(a-b)²
a³+ b³ =
( a + b) (a² - ab + b²
a³- b³ =
( a - b) (a² + ab + b²)
Domain
Input (x)
Range
Output (y)
Increasing if a < b
f(a) < f(b)
Decreasing if a < b
f(a) > f(b)
Concave Up:
Rate of Change is Increasing
Concave Down
Rate of Change is Decreasing
Average Rate of Change on [a, b] AND SLOPE OF A SECANT LINE
Average Rate of Change = (f(b) - f(a)) / (b - a)
Degree in Standard Form:
