A relation can be finite: {(-3, 1), (-3, -1), (0, 5), (1, -3), (2, 3)} This is a set of ordered pairs of real numbers, so it is a. Each ordered pair of real numbers corresponds to a on the Cartesian plane. The set of all points corresponding to a relation is the of the relation. Graph the relation given above. The of a relation is the set of all first elements of the ordered pairs. The of a relation is the set of all second elements of the ordered pairs. What is the domain of this relation?!

Find the distance d between the points A (x 1, y 1 ) and B (x 2, y 2 ) Consider a general point B (x, y) that is 5 units from the origin. This equation is true for all points that are exactly 5 units from the origin. Sketch the graph of this equation.

Write an equation whose solution is all of the points that are 3 units from (1, 2) We could repeat this procedure starting at an arbitrary point (h, k) and find all the points that are a given distance called r from (h, k). In this case, we would find that This is the standard form of the equation of a centered at with radius. Write the equation of a circle centered at (-3, 0) with radius 2.

Page 75 Symmetry about the origin Informally, a graph is symmetric about the origin if when it is rotated 180 about the origin, the graph looks the same. By definition, a graph is symmetric about the origin iff for each (x, y) on the graph, is also on the graph. Interestingly, if a graph is symmetric about the origin, then for each point on the graph, there is a corresponding point on the graph such that the line segment connecting these two points has the origin as its midpoint. We can test an equation to see if its graph will be symmetric about the origin. Substitute both -x for x and -y for y in the equation. Simplify the equation.

Page 78 You already know a lot about lines, but let s review quickly: Consider x + y = 4. x y When you create a table to list points to create the graph, you are determining the solutions to the equation. Solutions to linear equations in two variables are ordered pairs of real numbers that when substituted into the equation create an identity. The coordinates of all of the points on the line are solutions to the equation. How many solutions exist for this equation? Graphing lines with both intercepts Consider x + 3y = 3 When x = 0, y = and when y = 0, x = Consider 2x + y = 4. Solve this equation for y. What is the y -intercept?!

21 Fry Texas A&M University! Fall 2016! Math 150 Notes! Section 4A Page 81 Chapter 4A - Introduction to Functions Definition of a relation: A relation is Functions True or False:! A function is a relation in which no two different ordered pairs have the same first element. True or False:! A function is a relation where there is only one output (called the y-value), for each input (called the x-value). True or False:! A function is a rule that assigns exactly one element in a set B (called the range) to each element in a set A (called the domain). Which of the following represent a function? {(1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 3)} This set of ordered pairs is {(1, 3), (2, 3), (3, 3), (4, 3)} This set of ordered pairs is Functions as a Rule: 1. If f (x) = 3x + 4 then f (2) = 2. If f (x) = 3x 2 + 4x +1 then f ( 1) = Note: Order of operations dictates that 3 2 = while ( 3) 2 = These rules create sets of ordered pairs of real numbers ( x, f (x)) In these cases the domain is the set of numbers for which f (x) is defined. The range is the set of values that f (x) attains.

22 Fry Texas A&M University! Fall 2016! Math 150 Notes! Section 4A Page 82 The set of all points corresponding to a function is the of the function. A curve in the xy plane is the graph of a function iff no line the curve So if there is a line that the curve then the curve is the graph of a This is called {(x, y) x = y } 2 Is a relation, but It the vertical line test. {(x, y) y = x } 2 Is a relation and a It the vertical line test. So what we are seeing is that there are 2 common ways to define a function. A function can be defined with an equation such as {(x, y) y = x } 2 or a function can be defined with a rule such as {(x, f (x)) f (x) = x } 2 But having seen all of this, the truth is that we seldom use the set notation, just the equation or the f (x) notation.

23 Fry Texas A&M University! Fall 2016! Math 150 Notes! Section 4A Page 83 Difference Quotient. Assume that the function represented by this graph is a position function. The horizontal axis is time given in seconds. The vertical axis is distance an object has moved from the starting point given in feet. It will be helpful to remember that d = rt so r = What is the position of the object at t = 0? What is the position of the object at t = 4? How far did the object move during those 4 seconds? What is the average speed of the object during those 4 seconds? What is the position of the object at t = 8? How far did the object move during those 8 seconds? What is the average speed of the object during those 8 seconds? How far did the object move between t = 4 and t = 8 What is the average speed of the object during those 4 seconds? Connect the points on the graph for t = 4 and t = 8. What is the slope of that line segment? The slope of the secant line for a position function is How might you go about calculating an estimate for the instantaneous velocity at a point, say at t=4?

24 Fry Texas A&M University! Fall 2016! Math 150 Notes! Section 4A Page 84 You might calculate the average velocity between t=4 and t=5. Or better, you might calculate the average velocity between t=4 and t=4.5. Or better yet, you might calculate the average velocity between t=4 and t=4.1 The smaller the interval of time, the closer the average velocity would be to instantaneous velocity. Here we have the graph of some function f (x) Choose a general point (x, f (x)) on the graph. Let h > 0 be some teeny-tiny number. x + h would be just to the right of x. (Imagine that we ve zoomed in on the graph so it looks big, but it s really small.) Plot the point at (x + h, f (x + h)). Connect those two points with a line segment. Calculate the slope of that line segment: This is what is called the. In calculus, you will study what happens as h gets smaller and smaller. In the meantime, we will practice the sometimes-messy algebra that surrounds the Difference Quotient. The difference quotient is a function of two variables, x and h.!!!! DQ(x, h) =

49 Fry Texas A&M University! Fall 2016! Math 150 Notes! Section 4D! 109 Definition: Extreme functional values are the maximum and/or minimum values of the function. Being able to determine the extreme value of a quadratic function is very important, but equally important is being able to determine where the graph of the function is intersecting the x-axis. This is called finding the roots or finding the zeros of the function because when the graph intersects the x-axis, the value of the function is zero. Finding the Zeros of Quadratic Functions To find the zeros of quadratic functions, we simply set the function equal to zero, and determine the values of x that make the equation true. This is called the equation. Finding the Zeros of Quadratic Functions by Completing the Square Look back at the graphs of these functions earlier in the section to see where the graphs intersect the x-axis. 8. f (x) = (x +1) 2 4!!!!!! 9. g(x) = (x 2) 2 +1 Notice that axis of symmetry is always half way between the zeros.
