A relation is a function if:
It pass the two test:
VLT or for every x- coordinate their is only one y-coordinate
What is domain?
Values of all the x- coordinate
What is range?
Values of all the y- coordinate
How can you tell apart a linear, quadratic, and exponential?
linear: first difference are the same
quadratic: second difference are the same
exponential: difference aren’t the same ex. 2 with a little x.
What is function notation?
It’s substituting f of x, and then solving
In y = a ( x-h)2 +k
what is “a”
If a is positive: open up
if a is negative it open down, and reflects into the x- axis
if a is a whole number it has a vertical stretch (narrower)
if it a faction or decimal it a compression ( wider)
In y= a (x-h)2 + k
what is h
if h is positive: shifts right
if h is negative: shifts left
In y= a (x-h)2 + k
what is k
if k is positive it shifts up
if k is negative it shifts down
what is the mother of all parabolas?
y=x2
How do you foil?
first, outside, inside, last
( x + 4) (2x-9)
how do you common factor?
Find the GCF
dived all number by
the GCF goes outside the bracket, and the dived number go inside.
how do you do simple trinomials
find the GCF
then do the chart method find the two numbers that multiply by a and c, but add to b
then put those number in the bracket
How do you know if it’s simple or complex trinomials?
simple their GCF is the first number “a”
complex find another GCF or do the chart method
in y= a (x-r) (x-s)
what is a
if a is positive the graph open up if it’s negative it open down
if a is > 1 it stretches’
if 0< a> a it compressed
in y= a( x-r) (x-s)
what is r and s?
r and s are the zeros
how do you find the zeros in an equation from standard from?
fully factor
then replace y for 0
and you switch the sign of the number
how do you find the difference of the square?
common factor if need be
you square root each factor
then plug it in
(x-6) (x+6)
how do you find the perfect square?
keep the sign
square root the a and c term
and plug it in with a exponent
(x-4)2 check it by multiply 2(4) (x) = the b term
what is the optimal value
is the value of the y- co-ordinate of the vertex
what is the axis of symmetry
divides the the parabola into two equal halfs
what the discriminant
b2 - 4 a c
how many roots are their if the discriminant is positive, negative or equal
positive= 2
negative= 0
equal= 1
how do you use the discriminant to find the roots?
plug into your equation
when do you use the whole discriminant formula?
when your looking for zeros, and the number are tricky like decimal
