exam 2 Flashcards
a^m/n =
(^n√a)^m
a^b+c =
a^b*a^c
(a^b)^c
a^b*c
e is about
2.71828
standard form
f(x)= a(x-h)^2+k
h=
-b/2a
k=
plug h in function
if a>0, there is a
minimum value of k at x=h
if a<0, there is a
maximum value of k at x=h
graphing polynomial function steps
1) intercepts
2) sign check
3) end behavior
4) graph and label
when there is a multiplicity of 1, it
crosses the x axis
a^2+b^2=
(a+bi) (a-bi)
i^2 is
-1
use __ to determine real zeros of polynomials
long division
if c is a zero of p(x),
then x-c is a factor of p(x)
if a+bi is a zero of p(x),
a-bi is also a zero of p(x)
coefficient
the number ex: 4
term
the whole thing ex: 4x^2
4 domain constraints of logarithmic functions
- 1/x ;x≠0
- √x ;x≥0 *n is even
- 1/√x ;x>0 *n is even *root is alone
- logaX; x>0
graphing rational functions steps
- factor
- intercepts
- x int on numerator
- plug in 0 for y int - VA (x=)
- solve denominator
* sign chart - HA (y=)
- graph and label
transformations
- base
- horizontal shifts
- reflections
- vertical shifts
logarithmic properties
loga1= 0 logaA= 1 logaA^x=x a^logaX= x logaA^c= ClogaA loga(AB) = logA+logB loga(A/B)= logA-logB
