Q

What is the second point on the graph of log(5)x and why?

A

40
Q

Set denominator equal to zero

A

Find vertical asymptotes of a function

41
Q

How to find x values of:

y=log(3)(x-1) + 2

A

Use inside of parentheses:

x-1 = 0 (vertical asymptote)
x-1 = 1 (first x value)
x-1 = 3 (base)

Plug these in to original function to find y values

42
Q

How do you graph:

y=(1/3)^x

A

Know that this equals y=3^-x:

  • x=0=0 (y-intercept)
  • x=-=-1 (second point)

So, points at (0,1) and (-1,3)

60
Q

If a rectangle has a perimeter of 24 ft and you need to find a function that models its area A in terms of the length L of one of its sides, what do you do?

A

Make L the only variable:

P=2L+2w and since
P=24, that means 24=2L+2w and w=12-L.
Since A=Lw, this means A(L)=L(12-L).

61
Q

Make L the only variable:

P=2L+2w and since
P=24, that means 24=2L+2w and w=12-L.
Since A=Lw, this means A(L)=L(12-L).

A

Expressing area of a rectangle in terms of the length of one of its sides.

62
Q

What is the domain of the area of a rectangle as a function of length when assuming width < length?

A

Let A(L)=L(12-L). The domain would be (6,12) because if L=6, width would be 6. If L=12, width would be 0.

63
Q

Let A(L)=L(12-L). The domain would be (6,12) because if L=6, width would be 6. If L=12, width would be 0.

A

Domain of the area of a rectangle as a function of length when assuming width < length.

64
Q

Area and domain of an equilateral triangle.

A

A(x)= √3/4(x^2) where the domain is (0, ∞) because a side cannot be negative.
