Q

What does f mean in f(5)
Can letter be something not f

A

It means the value of function when x = 5
So put the 5 into function

The letter could be different for example g but it stands for same thing

17
Q

What does solve : g (x) = 8 mean

A

If it says solve g ( x ) = 8 this mean function equal to 8 so this means we work backwards

18
Q

What equations work for right angle triangles

A

SOH-CAH-TOA
Pythagorus

19
Q

What triangle equations can you use on every triangle

A

Sine rule
Cosine rule
General area 1/2 an sin C

20
Q

For transforming graph if -f(x) what do you do

A

Reflect vertically

21
Q

Graph transformation for
Y = f(x-1)

A

We move onto right

22
Q

what do you do if graph transformation y = f(-x)

A

Every x-value is replaced by its negative.
So the graph is flipped (mirrored) over the y-axis.
The shape stays the same, but left and right swap.

23
Q

If f( x + 3 )

A

We take away 3 from x axis

24
Q

Rearange cosine rule

A

Cos A = Bsquared + c squared -a squared

Al over 2 BC

25
What does Y = f (-x) do inverse the x axis For (1,4)
(-1,4)
