(117 cards)
NOTATION: x (E A
the object x is an element of the set A
NOTATION: Ø
empty sets - no elements in it
NOTATION: A <= B
the set A is contained in B
B is a big bag that has smaller bag A contained in it
* B can = A*
NOTATION: A < B
A is contained in B but are not equal
NOTATION: A U V
union of sets A and B
- in venn diagram all coloured in
NOTATION: A n B
intersection of A and B
- only the bits that have both in are included
NOTATION: A/B
difference of sets A and B
NOTATION: N
natural numbers (1,2,3..)
NOTATION: Z
pos + neg whole numbers
NOTATION: Q
fractions
NOTATION: |R
includes all rationals (surds and pi etc).. decimals and shiz
NOTATION: C
complex numbers
NOTATION: upside down A
for all
NOTATION: sideways E
there exists
domain meaning
set of values which the variable on the horizontial axis can take (usually x variable)
range meaning
set of values which the variable can take on the vertical axis (usually y variable)
absolute functions
always 2 solutions when solving equations - one + / -
- inverse graph so always + y value (unless undergone horizontial translation - you just do the same thing below the line)
real valued functions
f: D -> |R is defn {meaning domain is real}
1. range is not part of notation as it is not part of the definition of the function
[ ] include/exclude
include
() include/exclude
exclude
Is it a function
wherever you draw a line it an only cut the graph once (vertical line test)
1 - 1
function can only return 1 value for each input - THE ONLY WAY INVERSE FUNCTIONS WORK
horizontial line test
a function is 1-1 if the horizontial line meets the graph at most once
inverse functions?
- write y = f(x) + solve for y
2. f-1(x) = and put x wherever y was
