Algebra 2 Unit 3 Flashcards
The Absolute Value parent function is…
f(x) = |x|
What is a Piecewise Function?
A piecewise function is made up of 2 or more functions, each with its own domain
When graphing Absolute Value Inequalities, NOT equal to means to graph the line as a ________ line.
Dotted
Give a brief description of what to do… f(x) = |x| - 2
Shift the parent function two units down
Find the Min/Max, AOS, and Vertex of this Quadratic Function…f(x) = - x^2 +6x
Maximum because “a” is negative, AOS is x = 3 (Use x = -b/a), Vertex is (3,9) Plug the x into equation to find the y-value
The Square Root parent function is…
f(x) = square root of x
What is the standard form of the quadratic function?
y = ax^2 + bx +c
When a > 1, then the parent functions dilations is a vertical…
Stretch or becomes skinny like a rubber band is being pulled up to down
Find the Min/Max, AOS, and Vertex of this Quadratic Function…f(x) = x^2 - 8x + 9
Minimum, AOS is x = 4, Vertex is 4, -7)
What is the generic formula for the Axis of Symmetry(AOS)?
x = h
What is the end behavior of any polynomial function?
The behavior of the graph of f(x) as x approaches positive infinity or negative infinity
When the parent function is negative in front of the a value, then the entire parent function…
Reflects or Flips upside down
Describe the Tranformation of f(x) = - 5/4 (x + 6) - 7
Reflects over the x-axis, stretches by 5/4, shifts left 6 units, shifts down 7 units
The turning point of a parabola is called the…
Vertex
Give a brief description of what to do… f(x) = - |x|
Reflect the parent function over the x-axis (flip upside down)
What is the Axis of Symmetry Formula (AOS)?
x = - b over 2a
A Qyadratic Function creates a U-shaped curve called a …
Parabola
What does the two lined R symbol stand for?
All Real Numbers
What is the Vertex of an Absolute Vale Function?
(h,k)
When given a quadratic function, when a is positive, the function will ________, creating a __________.
Up creating a Minimmum
Why might someone prefer the vertex form over the standard form of a quadratic function?
The vertex form literally gives the vertex
