Q

How do you find y-intercepts?

A

x=0

20
Q

How do you find x-intercepts?

A

y=0, only pay attention to numerator

21
Q

How do you find VA’s?

A

When the numerator equals a number, but the denominator is equal to 0

22
Q

How do you find slant asymptotes and how do you know if there will be one?

A

If the degree of the numerator is one more than the degree of the denominator, you can find a slant asymptote by dividing the numerator by the denominator (the remainder does not count)

23
Q

What is Ln a + Ln b?

A

Ln ab

24
Q

What is Ln a - Ln b?

A

Ln a/b

25
Q

Simplify Ln a^P

A

P times Ln a

26
Q

What is another form of logb(x)=C?

A

b^c=x

27
Q

Change logb(x) to natural logs

A

Ln x / Ln b

28
Q

What is the formula for continuously compounding interest?

A

P*e^rt

29
Q

What is the formula for interest compounded less than continuously?

A

P * (1+r/n)^nt

30
Q

Y is directly proportional to z

A

Y=kx

31
Q

Y is inversely proportional to x

A

Y=k/x

32
Q

Y is jointly proportional to x and n

A

Y=kxn

33
Q

What is the formula for a parabola?

A

Ax^2+Dx+Ey=0
or y=ax^2+bx+c
change to y=a(x-h)^2+k, where vertex is (h,k) and 1/4a is the distance between the vertex and the focus or directrix
In the regular form the x of the vertex is -b/2a

34
Q

What is the formula for a circle?

A

x^2+y^2+Dx+Ey+F
or (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2
(h,k) is center, r is radius

35
Q

What is the formula for a ellipse?

A

Ax^2+Cy^2+Dx+Ey+F=0
Wide:(x-h)^2/a^2+(y-k)^2/b^2=1
Tall:(y-k)^2/a^2+(x-h)^2/b^2=1
The center is at (h,k), the a is distance right, the b is distance left, and the foci is c (a^2-c^2=b^2) units on the sides of the center

36
Q

What is the formula for a hyperbola?

A
Ax^2-Cy^2+Dx+Ey+F=0
Cupping y-axis:(x-h)^2/a^2-(y-k)^2/b^2=1
Cupping x-axis:(y-k)^2/a^2-(x-h)^2/b^2=1
Center:(h,k)
Vertex is a from center
Foci are c from center (c^2-a^2=b^2)
Asymptotes are +/- b/a(x-h)+k or  +/- a/b(x-h)+k
37
Q

How do you find the inverse of a function?

A

Switch the x and y

38
Q

What is the relationship between the domain and range of f^-1 related to f?

A

They switch

39
Q

If f and g are inverses what are f(g(x)) and g(f(x))?

A

x

40
Q

How do the graphs of f and its inverse relate?

A

The inverse is a reflection over y=x

41
Q

What is the requirement for a function to have an inverse?

A

It must be one to one, (passing both the vertical and horizontal line tests)

42
Q

What is i^2?

A

-1

43
Q

For an imaginary number a+bi, what is the real part and what is the imaginary part?

A

a,b

44
Q

A

The n root of x^m

46
