AP Calc Accumulative Flashcards
Describe the line and give the slope of:
y = 3?
Horizontal
Slope= 0
What is the point slope form of a linear equation?
y2 - y1 = m(x2 -x1)
Describe the line and give the slope of:
x = 4
Vertical Line
Undefined slope
What is the slope of any line that is perpendicular to the linear equation with slope m?
-1/m
(the inverse and opposite sign of the parent function)
What is the formula for finding the slope of a line?
m= Δy/Δx
or
m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Does the equation shown represent a function?
x2 + y2 = 4
No, this equation has term where “y” is raised to an even power. Thus, this equation is not a function, instead it is a circle.
If a function is odd the f(-x) =
-f(x)
If a function is even then f(-x) =
f(x)
What is the domain of f(x) = x / x2 - 1
x ≠ ± 1
The denominator of a rational function cannot equal zero.
What is the domain of f(x) = 3√x + 1
All real numbers or (-∞ , ∞ ) Any radical function that has an odd index number will have a domain of all real numbers.
Identify any horizontal and vertical asymptotes of f(x) = 3x + 1 / 2x2 - 2
y = 0
x = 1, -1
the exponent in the denominator is greater than the numerator thus the HA is y = 0
using 1 and -1 for x makes it so the denominator equals 0
Identify any horizontal and vertical asymptotes of f(x) = 3x2 + 1 / 4x2 - 16
y = ¾
x= 2, -2
¾ is the answer because they have the same exponents thus they are taking the fraction of coefficients for the HA
Identify any horizontal and vertical asymptotes of f(x) = x4 + 1 / x2 + 4
NONE
The exponent in the numerator is greater than the denominator, there is no HA
VA: can’t take the square root of a negative number
What is the domain of f(x) = x + 1 / x2 - 1
x ≠ ± 1
y = 3(2)x is exponential…
