Q

What are the steps for solving problems that ask:

A function and an interval of its independent variable are given. The endpoints of the interval are associated with the points P and Q on the graph of the function. Answer parts a and b.

After t seconds, an obj dropped from rest, falls a distance d = kt^2, where d is the measured in feet and min = t = max

a) Sketch a graph of the function and secant line through P and Q.
b) Find the slope of the secant line in part a, and interpret your answer in terms of an average rate of change over the interval. Include units in your answer.

A

For part a, look for the interval points stated.

For part b:

1) To find slope, make a chart of the lowest and highest values.
2) Plug lowest and highest value of t in the interval into the formula d(t) =kt^2.
3) To calc M sec, calc the same way you would find slope of linear line use change in d(t) over change in t.
4) Solve and play close attention to units being measured and what is being measured

Determine whether the graph of the following equation and/or function has symmetry about/wrt the x-, y- axis, or the origin. Check your work by graphing. Select all that apply.

A

1) Make the f(x) into f(-x)
2) Ask yourself is the the the equation now f(x) or -f(x)

47
``` How do you find inverse functions that fraction formed such as ? #/ x2 + or minus some number ```

48
How do you solve : Solve the following log eqn: logbx = # logx^3 + 1/4
