| # Unit 1: Functions
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Words to know:
 | |
| 
 | |
| - `linear relation`
 | |
| - `quadratic relation`
 | |
| - `vertex of a parabola`
 | |
| - `line of best fit`
 | |
| - `axis of symmetry of a parabola`
 | |
| - `intercepts`
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| - ```Linear Relation```: A relation which a single straight line can be drawn through every data point and the first differences are constant   
 | |
| - ```Non - Linear Relation```: A single smooth curve can be drawn through every data point and the first differences are not constant   
 | |
| 
 | |
|   
 | |
| ## Relations
 | |
| - A relation can be described using   
 | |
|    1. Table of Values (see below)   
 | |
|    2. Equations $`(y = 3x + 5)`$   
 | |
|    3. Graphs (Graphing the equation)    
 | |
|    4. Words 
 | |
| - When digging into the earth, the temperature rises according to the
 | |
| - following linear equation: $`t = 15 + 0.01 h`$. $`t`$ is the increase in temperature in
 | |
| - degrees and $`h`$ is the depth in meters.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Definitions
 | |
| - ```Parallel```: 2 lines with the same slope   
 | |
| - ```Perpendicular```: 2 lines with slopes that are the negative reciprocal to the other. They form a 90 degree angle where they meet.      
 | |
| - ```Domain```: The **ordered** set of all possible values of the independent variable $`x`$.   
 | |
| - ```Range```: The **ordered** set of all possible values of the dependent variable $`y`$.   
 | |
| - ```Continous Data```: A data set that can be broken into smaller parts. This is represented by a ```Solid line```.   
 | |
| - ```Discrete Data```: A data set that **cannot** be broken into smaller parts. This is represented by a ```Dashed line```.   
 | |
| - ```First Difference```: the difference between 2 consecutive y values in a table of values which the difference between the x-values are constant.   
 | |
| - ```Collinear Points```: points that line on the same straight line
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Variables
 | |
| - ```Independent Variable```: A Variable in a relation which the values can be chosen or isn't affected by anything.   
 | |
| - ```Dependent Varaible```: A Variable in a relation which is **dependent** on the independent variable.   
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Scatterplot and Line of Best Fit
 | |
| - A scatterplot graph is there to show the relation between two variables in a table of values.    
 | |
| - A line of best fit is a straight line that describes the relation between two variables.    
 | |
| - If you are drawing a line of best fit, try to use as many data points, have an equal amount of points onto and under the line of best fit, and keep it as a straight line.

 | |
| 
 | |
| ### How To Determine the Equation Of a Line of Best Fit
 | |
|   1. Find two points **```ON```** the ```line of best fit```
 | |
|   2. Determine the ```slope``` using the two points
 | |
|   3. Use ```point-slope form``` to find the equation of the ```line of best fit```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Table of values
 | |
| - To find first differences or any points on the line, you can use a ```table of values```
 | |
| - It shows the relationship between the x and y values.
 | |
| - Use `Finite differences` to figure out if its quadraic or linear:
 | |
|     - If the `first difference` is constant, then its linear. (degree of 1)
 | |
|     - If the `second difference` is constant, then its quadratic. (degree of 2)
 | |
| 
 | |
| - This is a linear function
 | |
|  
 | |
|     |x |y |First difference|
 | |
|     |:-|:-|:---------------|
 | |
|     |-3|5|$`\cdots`$|
 | |
|     |-2|7|5-7 = 2|
 | |
|     |-1|9|7-9 = 2|
 | |
|     |0|11|9-11 = 2|
 | |
|     |1|13|11-13 = 2|
 | |
|     |2|15|15-13 =2|
 | |
|     - The difference between the first and second y values are the same as the difference between the third and fourth. The `first difference` is constant.
 | |
| 
 | |
| - This is a quadractic function
 | |
| 
 | |
|     |x |y |First difference|Second difference|
 | |
|     |:-|:-|:---------------|:----------------|
 | |
|     |5|9|$`\cdots`$|$`\cdots`$|
 | |
|     |7|4|9-4 = 5|$`\cdots`$|
 | |
|     |9|1|4-1 = 3|5-3 = 2|
 | |
|     |11|0|1-0 = 1|3 - 1 = 2|
 | |
|     |13|1|0-1 = -1|1 -(-1) = 2|
 | |
|     
 | |
|     - The difference between the differences of the first and second y values are the same as the difference of the difference between the thrid and fourth. The `second difference` is constant.
 | |

 | |
| ## Tips
 | |
| - Label your graph correctly, the scales/scaling and always the ```independent variable``` on the ```x-axis``` and the ```dependent variable``` on ```y-axis```   
 | |
| - Draw your ```Line of Best Fit``` correctly   
 | |
| - Read the word problems carefully, and make sure you understand it when graphing things     
 | |
| - Sometimes its better not to draw the shape, as it might cloud your judgement (personal exprience)   
 | |
| - Label your lines
 | |

| ## Discriminant
 | |
| - The discriminant determines the number of solutions (roots) there are in a quadratic equation. $`a, b , c`$ are the 
 | |
| - coefficients and constant of a quadratic equation: $`y = ax^2 + bx + c`$    
 | |
|  $`
 | |
|  D = b^2 - 4ac 
 | |
|  \begin{cases}
 | |
|  \text{2 distinct real solutions}, & \text{if } D > 0 \\
 | |
|  \text{1 real solution}, & \text{if } D = 0 \\
 | |
|  \text{no real solutions}, &  \text{if } D < 0 
 | |
|  \end{cases}

| ### Tips
 | |
| - Read the questions carefully and model the system of equations correctly   
 | |
| - Be sure to name your equations   
 | |
| - Label your lines   
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Definitions
 | |
|  - `Function`: a relation which there is only one value of the dependent variable for each value of the independent variable (i.e, for every x-value, there is only one y-value).
 | |
|  - `Vertical-line test`: a test to determine whether the graph of a relation is a function. The relation is not a function if at least one vertical line drawn through the graph of the relation passes through two or more points.
 | |
|  - `Real numbers`: the set of real numbers is the set of all decimals - positive, negative and 0, terminating and non-terminating. This statement is expressed mathematically with the set notation $`\{x \in \mathbb{R}\} `$
 | |
|  - `Degree`: the degree of a polynomial with a single varible, say $`x`$, is the value of the highest exponent of the variable. For example, for the polynomial $`5x^3-4x^2+7x-8`$, the highest power or exponent is 3; the degree of the polynomial is 3.
 | |
|  - `Function notation`: $`(x, y) = (x f(x))`$. $`f(x)`$ is called function notation and represents the value of the dependent variable for a given value of the independent variable $`x`$.
 | |
| - `Transformations`: transformation are operations performed on functions to change the position or shape of the associated curves or lines.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Working with Function Notation
 | |
| - Given an example of $`f(x) = 2x^2+3x+5`$, to get $`f(3)`$, we substitute the 3 as $`x`$ into the function, so it now becomses $`f(3) = 2(3)^2+3(3)+5`$.
 | |
| - We can also represent new functions, the letter inside the brackets is simply a variable, we can change it.
 | |
|     - Given the example $`g(x) = 2x^2+3x+x`$, if we want $`g(m)`$, we simply do $`g(m) = 2m^2+3m+m`$.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Vertex Form
 | |
| - `Vertex from`: $`f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k`$. 
 | |
|     - $`(-h, k)`$ is the coordinates of the vertex 
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Axis of symmetry
 | |
| - $`x = -h`$
 | |
| - Example:
 | |
|     - $`f(x) = 2(x-3)^2+7`$
 | |
|     - $`x = +3`$

 | |
|      
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Direction of openning $`\pm a`$
 | |
| - Given a quadratic in the from $`f(x) = ax^2+bx+c`$, if $`a > 0`$, the curve is a happy face, a smile. If $`a < 0`$, the curve is a sad face, a sad frown.
 | |
| - $`
 | |
|     \text{Opening} = 
 | |
|     \begin{cases}
 | |
|     \text{if } a > 0, & \text{opens up} \\
 | |
|     \text{if } a < 0, & \text{opens down}
 | |
|     \end{cases} 
 | |
|   `$
 | |
| - Examples
 | |
|     - $`f(x) = -5x^2`$ opens down, sad face.
 | |
|     - $`f(x) = 4(x-5)^2+7`$ opens up, happy face.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Vertical Translations $`\pm k`$
 | |
| - $`
 | |
|   \text{Direction} = 
 | |
|   \begin{cases}
 | |
|   \text{if } k > 0, & \text{UP }\uparrow \\
 | |
|   \text{if } k < 0, & \text{DOWN } \downarrow
 | |
|   \end{cases}
 | |
|  `$
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Horizontal Translations $`\pm h`$
 | |
| - $`
 | |
|   \text{Direction} = 
 | |
|   \begin{cases}
 | |
|   \text{if } -h > 0, & \text{shift to the right} \\
 | |
|   \text{if } -h < 0, & \text{shift to the left}
 | |
|   \end{cases}
 | |
|  `$
 | |
| 
 | |
| - $`f(x) = 1(x-4)^2`$
 | |
|     -   $`\uparrow`$ congruent to $`f(x) = x^2`$ 
 | |
|     -   
 | |
| ## Vertical Stretch/Compression   
 | |
| - $`|a|\leftarrow`$: absolute bracket.
 | |
|     - simplify and become positive
 | |
| - $` 
 | |
|   \text{Stretch/Compression} = 
 | |
|   \begin{cases}
 | |
|   \text{if } |a| > 1, & \text{stretch by a factor of } a \\
 | |
|   \text{if } 0 < |a| < 1, & \text{compress by a factor of } a
 | |
|   \end{cases}
 | |
|  `$
 | |
|     - (Multiply all the y-values from $`y = x^2`$ by a)
 | |
|     - (Not congruent to $`f(x) = x^2`$)
 | |
| - Example of stretching
 | |
|     - $`f(x) = 2x^2`$
 | |
|         -Vertically stretch by a factor of 2
 | |
|     - |x |y |

 | |
| 
 | |
|     - All y-values from $`f(x) =x^2`$ are now multiplied by 2 to create $`f(x)=2x^2`$
 | |
| 
 | |
| - Example of compression
 | |
|    - $`f(x) = \frac{1}{2}x^2`$
