Y'all Flashcards
asymptotes
a line that graph approaches but never intersects
discontinuity:
function is not defines at that point, graph has a break (ex. reciprocal function)
complete the square:
a way to factor expressions from standard tov vertex form
inverse: switch x and y
vertex:
the max/min of a quadratic function
linear function standard form:
ax + by + c=0
quick things from standard form
where x-int: -c/a, yint: -c/b and m= -a/b
reflections:
y=-a is reflection in x-axis while y=4(-x)… is reflection in y-axis
when saying what variables affect what, please include reflections
things to remember unit 1:
numbers on graph, use variables given, x-lies, mas value is not max point, arrows on graph, let statements, plus and minus when square rooted
point symmetry:
when the points can be flipped and still land on the function (ex. linear function)
line symmetry:
when the function cana be flipped along an axis and fal back on itself (ex. absolute value)
rational numbers
can’t have “0” on bottom
restrictions:
on denominator (original) as things may simplify but without restrictions, the two graphs are not equivalent
holes:
when something cancels out at the top and bottom
va:
restrictions of denominator
things to remember unit 2:
functions always have “f(x)”, circle the exponent,
discriminant:
when it is greater than 0= 2 different roots with 2 x-intercepts and 2 zeroes. when it is equal to zero= 2 equal, real and distinct roots, 1 x-int, 1 zero. when less than 0= 2 complex distinct roots, 0 x-ints, 0 zeroes.
things to remember unit 3:
no silly mistakes, check eqns in calculator
