you can solce for y by
factoring
denominator restrictions interval notation
(-inf,x)U(x,inf)
after factor do this
set equal to 0 and solve still
zeros dont have to
cross through
open dots for intervals must be
U
factoring cubes
(a+b)(a^2+ab+b^2)
aos
-b/2a
function
relationship between 2 variables where 1 determines the other
function diagram
f(x) name of func
x input or independent variable
y output or dependent variable
values of x that do have output
inputs and domain
highest and lowest y vaues on a graph
outputs and range
domain of a function
the set of all possible inputs that produce a defined output
range
set of all outputs
determining domain and range with word problems
reasonable solutions
function is increasing on interval (a,b) if
y values are getting bigger when a<x<b
function is decreasing on interval (a,b) if
y values are getting smaller when a<x<b
for increasing and decreasing never use
brackets
modulus parent function domain, range, increasing, and decreasing
|x|, (-inf, inf), [0, inf), (0, inf), (-inf, 0)
radical parent function domain, range, increasing, and decreasing
√x, [0, inf), [0, inf), (0, inf), never
recipricol parent function decreasing
(-inf, 0), (0, inf)
parent function
the simplest function of a family of functions
families of functions
quadratic, linear, etc. and share similar algebraic properties, graphs, and behaviors
