What is the exponential relationship function?
y = a^x
What is the inverse of the exponential function?
y = ln(x)
What is the transformation f(x)+a?
VERTICAL shift of a units
What is the transformation f(x+a)?
Horizontal shift of -a units
What is the transformation af(x)?
VERTICAL stretch of scale factor a
What is the transformation f(ax)?
HORIZONTAL stretch of scale factor 1/a
What is the transformation -f(x)?
REFLECTION in the X axis
What is the transformation f(-x)?
REFLECTION in the y axis
When you have a complex transformation what should you do?
Take it one step at a time
How do you use numerical methods to find the intercept between f(x) and g(x)?
1) Note the number of solutions (intersects)
2) Let f(x) = g(x)
3) Rearrange f(x) = g(x) into f(x) - g(x) = h(x)
4) Sub in x for two values on the graph, a and b. If there is a sign change between these two values then there is a solution between them.
5) Rearrange the f(x) = 0 formula into x= something, allowing the iterative form to be used to narrow down what x is.
What is the Modulus function?
It ensures a value is always positive
What does |f(x)| mean?
No value of f(x) will drop below the x axis, the negative y value will become a positive y value.
What does f(|x|) mean?
When the graph touches the y axis, the positive x data points are reflected in y axis again.
How do we solve a modulus equation?
1) Draw both graphs.
2) Complete the square of whats in the modulus sign.
3) Split the graph into what the modulus has effected and what it hasnt.
4) Solve the regular bit like normal. Solve the moduled bit accounting for any reflection which has occurred.
What does sin^2 + cos^2 equal?
1
What is cosec?
1/sin
what is sec?
1/cos
what is cot?
1/tan
what is sin/cos?
tan
What does the cosec graph look like?
U’s between -2pi and pi, 0 and pi. n’s between -pi and 0, pi and 2pi.
What does the sec graph look like?
the cosec graph with horizontal shift of 1/2pi. A U centered on 0, two n’s centered on -pi and pi, and two half U’s on 2pi and -2pi.
What does the Cot Graph look like?
When tan would tend to infinity, it is 0. When tan would be 0, it is infinity. There are assentotes at-2pi, -pi, 0, pi and 2pi. With the tan like curves going from top left to bottom right.
What does 1 + tan^2 equal?
sec^2
what does 1 + cot^2 equal?
cosec^2
