Define the following terms...

Function - 

Domain - 

Range - 

Function - A relationship between 2 sets of values, where each input has one corresponding output 

Domain - A set of values that represent the inputs of a function.

Range - A set of values that represent the outputs of a function

What happens when you add a constant to a parent function?

f(x)+c

It moves up by c.

100

What is a composite function?

2 functions combined where the output of one is the input of another. Or a function inside a function. 

100

Combine like terms:

9xy+x^4-3-xy+4x^4

=5x^4+8xy-3

200

Write the following equation in function notation, name the function f(x)

y - x^2 = 9x +6

f(x) = x^2 +9x+6

200

what happens when you add c to x in a function?

f(x+c)

It moves to the left by c.
200

Create a piecewise function where x=0, and f(x) is the input of g(x).

g(f(0))

200

Distribute

5x(x^2+3)

5x^3+15x

300

What is the range of the following function?

function: {(2,1),(3,2),(4,3),(5,4),(6,5), (7, 0), (8,-1)}

R: {-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} 

300

Draw x^2+1

x^2 graph but shifted up 1

300

Determine the final output of the following function: f(g(2))

f(x)= x^2+1

g(x)=3x+2


f(g(2))=65

300

Factor out the GCF.

4x^4+2x^2

2x^2(2x^2+1)

400

What is the domain of the following function in interval notation? (Take a hint for -100 pts)


f(x)={ x2  if  -4<x<3,      x-1  if  x≥ 3


D: (-4,infinity)



400

Graph f(x)= 1/x and tell me what the V.A. and H.A. are.

V.A.: x=0

H.A.: y=0 

400

find f(g(x)), where x=0

f(x)=x+1

g(x)=e^x

f(g(x)=(e^x)+1

when x=0

e^x= 1

f(g(0))= 2

400

FOIL and simplify.

(x+3)(x-3)

x^2-9

500

What is the Range of the following function in interval notation? (Take a hint for -100 pts : I'll draw the graph)


f(x)= x-1

R: (- inf., 0) U (0, inf.)

500

What is the range of the following function?

f(x)=e^x

R: (0, inf.) because it cannot have negative values. 

500

Determine the output of the following functions:

f(x)=g(x)

f(x)=x^2+12

g(x)= 7x

0= x^2 -7x+12

(x-3)(x-4)=0

x=3,4

500

What are the sides needed to find sin(theta)?

Opposite and Hypotenuse.
