sin, cos

  • if y = c + cos(x) → period & amplitude same; c = pos moves max/min up, c = neg moves max/min down
  • if y = a sin(x) → period same; move max to a
  • if y = sin(bx) → max/min/amp same; normal period/b
  • if y = sin(x + b) → if b = pos, move left; if b = neg, move right

**tan, cot, sec, csc - **no ampl/min/max

  • y = c + tan(x) → if c = pos, move up; c = neg, move down (easier to just move x-int’s)
  • y = a csc(x) → move min/max’s to a
    • y = cot(bx) → period/b

Q

why are y = sin(x) and y = csc(x) tangent whenver x is a multiple of x

Q

finding the shortest route

A
  1. Draw a network diagram that models the map. Each vertex represents a city. Each edge represents an interstate highway. Distances do not need to be drawn to scale.
  2. Label the starting point with the ordered pair (-,0)
  3. For each edge that connects a labeled and an unlabeled vertex, find this sum:
    1. s = y-value of ordered pair for labeled vertex + length of edge
  4. Choose the edge from Step 3 that has the minimum sum s. Label the unlabeled vertex of that edge with this:
    1. (label of the other vertex of the edge, s)
  5. Repeat Steps 3 & 4 until the vertex for the destination is labeled. (Go all the way back to find shortest distance).
  6. When the vertex for Danville is labeled, use the ordered pairs to find the shortest route. (backtrack)

Q

constraint

A

any condition that must be met by a variable or by a linear combination of variables

x > 0 → The # of AM ads can’t be negative

y > 0 → the # of PM ads can’t be negative

x + y < 20 → the total # of ads must be less than/equal to 20

200x + 50y < 2200 → the total cost of the ads must be less than or equal to $2200

Q

graphing feasible regions

A

use system of inequalities from “constraint” definition

  1. Since x > 0 and y > 0, the feasible region is in the first quadrant.
  2. Graph x + y < 20 in the first quadrant.
  3. Identify points inthe blue shaded region that also make 200x + 50y < 2200 true.
  4. The feasible region consists of all pts on or inside quadrilateral ABCO. u can find the coord’s of each vertex​ by solving a system of equations from the intersecting lines
    1. the origin (0,0) is the solution of the system: x = 0, y = 0
    2. solve this system: x + y = 20, x = 0 to get (0,20)
    3. Solve x + y = 20, 200x + 50y = 2200 to get (8,12)
    4. solve 200x + 50y = 2200, y = 0 to get (11,0)

Q

using the corner-point principle

A

AM ads heard by 90,000; PM ads heard by 30,000

@ most 20 ads, @ least as many AM ads as PM ads, at least 720,000 listeners

hows many of each ad should u run to minimize the total cost? how much will the ads cost?

  1. Represent the constraints with a system of linear inequalities
    • Let x = the number of AM ads, y = # of PM ads
    • x + y < 20
    • x > y
    • 90,000x + 30,000y > 720,000
    • x > 0
    • y > 0
  2. Graph and find vertices
  3. Write a linear combo that represents the total cost of the ads: 200x + 50y
  4. Use the corner-pt principle. Find the total cost for the combo of ads represented by each vertex.
    1. min turns out to be A(6,6)

Q

holes

A

when a value of x sets both the denom & the numer of a rational function equal to 0, there is a hole in the graph

a single pt in which the function has no value

to find:

f(x) = (x2[x-2])/(x-2)

look for repeating thingies like x -2

therefore, x = 2

Q

finding asymptotes, holes, 0’s, x-int’s, & y’int’s

A

f(x) = x2+x-6 / x+3

  • vertical asymptote
    1. set denom to 0
    2. x + 3 = 0 → x = -3
  • holes
    • factor out the numerator to (x+3)(x-2)
    • x+3 is found on both the num & denom
    • therefore, x = -3
  • zeros (where y = 0)
    • set f(x) to 0 and solve for x
  • x-int’s → same as zeros
  • y-int (where x=0)
    • set all x’s to 0 and solve

194
Q

finding sums of infinite series by graphing

A

Ex: 3 + (-1.5) + .75 + (-0.375) + …

  1. Find common ratio → r = 0.5
  2. Find 1st few partial sums

S1 = 3

S2 = 3 + (-1.5) = 1.5

S3 = 1.5 + 0.75 + (-0.375) = 1.875

S5 = 1.875 + .1875 = 2.0625

S6 = 2.0625 + (-0.09375) = 1.96875

  1. graph the partial sums (position, term)
  2. limit is about 2, so sum is about 2

Q

how to write exponential functions and predict

A

2.9 mill ppl in 1980, increasing 1.7% each yr

  1. write an exponential function
  2. when will pop reach 4.5 mill?

a.
1. find growth factor b

pop @ end of yr = 100% of pop @ start + 1.7% of pop @ start

pop @ end of yr = 101.7% pop @ start of year

b = 1.017

  1. y = abx

y = (2.9)(1.017)x

b.

  1. Use a graph
    1. Graph the equation y = (2.9)(1.017)x
    2. x-value of 0 = 1980, x-value of 26 = 2006
  2. Use recursion
    1. Enter initial amount 2.9 & repeatedly multiply by growth factor (1.017)
    2. count # of times pressed Enter (26)
    3. 1980 + 26 = 2006

Q

inverse functions

A

two functions f & g are inverse functions if g(b) = a whenever f(a) = b

graph = reflection of the graph of the original function over the line y = x

inverse of f(x) can be written f-1(x) or f-1

211
Q

graphing inverse functions

A

a. y = 2x
b. y = x2
1. plot the points to grpah each function. then interchange the coordinates of the original points and plot these points

212
Q

deciding existence of inverse functions

A

an inverse is a function. if a reflection of a function over the line y = x isn’t a function, then the inverse doesn’t exist

a. y = 2x b. y = x2
1. Use the vertical line test to decide whether a reflection is the graph of a function (inverse)
- or-
2. Just like vertical line tests, u can use the horizontal line test to see whether a function has an inverse (original)

217
Q

evaluating logs

A

evaluate each. (Find a).

  1. log464

log464 = log443 → a = 3; has to be 43 cuz base = 4

  1. log(1/10,000)

log(1/10,000) = log10-4 → a = -4

  1. ln5.3 → use calc
  2. log145 → use calc
218
Q

solving logs

A

when solving these, remember that x isn’t necessarily the x in the formula. it can be a, b, or x

solve logx81 = 2

logb81 = 2

b2 = 81

b = 9

Solve. round decimal answers to nearest hundredth

a. 10x = 15

10a = 15

a = log 15 = abt 1.18

b. ea = 29

ea = 29

a = ln 29 = abt 3.37

c. log2x + log2(x-2) = 3

log2x + log2(x-2) = 3

log2x(x-2) = 3

x(x-2) = 23

x2 - 2x = 8

x2 - 2x - 8 = 0

(x+2)(x-4) = 0

x + 2 = 0 or x - 4 = 0

x = -2 x = 4

check for extraneous solutions! Sub possible solutions into the original equation to be sure they’re not extraneous

x = -2 is undefined, cuz no neg logs log2(-2)

Q

log and exp word problems

A
  1. L = 10log(I/I0) What is the change in loudness(L) when I is doubled?

L1 = original loudness L2 = loudness after intensity is doubled

increase in loudness = L2 - L1

L2 - L1 = 10log(2I/I0) - 10log(I/I0)

10log(2•I/I0) - 10log(I/I0)

10(log2 + logI/I0) - 10log(I/I0)

10log2 + 10log(I/I0) - 10log(I/I0)

10log2 = abt 3

  1. A(t) = A0(0.883)t with A(t) - amount present t thousand yrs after death, A0 - amount @ time of death, and t - amount time since death (in 1000’s of yrs)
     found in 1968, died 8000 yrs ago, 37% present now; estimate age of the bone

A0(0.883)t = A(t)

A0(0.883)t = 0.37A0

0.883t = 0.37

log(0.883)t = log0.37

t log 0.883 = log0.37

t = log0.37/log0.883

t = 8
