1 AMHS PreCalculus 1 Unit 1 The Real Line Interval Notation Interval notation is a convenient and compact way to express a set of numbers on the real number line. Graphic Representation Inequality Notation < x < 3 Interval notation 1 x 4 1< x x x < 1 Inequality Properties 1. If a> b, then a+ c> b+ c. If a> b and c < 0, then ac < bc Ex. 1 Solve each inequality (note that the degree is 1) and write the solution using interval notation: a) 3x + 5> 1 b) 9 x + 10< 5 c) 7 x 3< 4 3

2 AMHS PreCalculus Ex. Solve each inequality and write the solution using inequality notation. π π a) 0 x π b) 0 x π c) 0 x + π π 3 Polynomial Inequalities with degree two or more and Rational Inequalities Solve x 4x+ 7> 4 by making a sign chart. Write your answer using interval notation. 1. Set one side of the inequality equal to zero.. Temporarily convert the inequality to an equation. 3. Solve the equation for x. If the equation is a rational inequality, also determine the values of x where the expression is undefined (where the denominator equals zero). These are the partition values. 4. Plot these points on a number line, dividing the number line into intervals. 5. Choose a convenient test point in each interval. Only one test point per interval is needed. 6. Evaluate the polynomial at these test points and note whether they are positive or negative. 7. If the inequality in step 1 reads > 0, select the intervals where the test points are positive. If the inequality in step 1 reads < 0, select the intervals where the test points are negative.

16 AMHS PreCalculus 16 Unit Functions and Graphs Functions A function is a rule that assigns each element in the domain to exactly one element in the range. The domain is the set of all possible inputs for the function. On a graph these are the values of the independent variable (most commonly known as the x values). The range is the set of all possible outputs for the function. On a graph these are the values of the dependent variable (most commonly known as the y values). We use the notation f ( x) to represent the value (again, in most cases, a y value) of a function at the given independent value of x. For any value of x, ( x, f ( x)) is a point on the graph of the function f ( x ). Ex. 1 Given f ( x) = x, graph the function and determine the domain and range. Use interval notation to express the domain and range.

21 AMHS PreCalculus 1 Intercepts (revisited) The y intercept of the graph of a function is (0, f (0)). The x intercept(s) of the graph of a function f ( x) is/are the solution(s) to the equation f ( x ) = 0. These x values are called the zeros of the function f ( x ). Ex. 1 Find the zeros of f( x) = x(3x 1)( x+ 9) Ex.

23 AMHS PreCalculus 3 Transformations Horizontal and Vertical shifts Suppose y = f( x) is a function and c is a positive constant. Then the graph of 1. y = f( x) + cis the graph of f shifted vertically up c units.. y = f( x) c is the graph of f shifted vertically down c units. 3. y = f( x+ c) is the graph of f shifted horizontally to the left c units. 4. y = f( x c) is the graph of f shifted horizontally to the right c units. Ex. 1 Consider the graph of a function y = f( x) y = f( x) + 3 y = f( x) y = f( x 1) y = f( x+ 3)

24 AMHS PreCalculus 4 Suppose y = f( x) is a function. Then the graph of 1. y = f( x) is the graph of f reflected over the x axis.. y = f ( x) is the graph of f reflected over the y axis. Ex. Consider the graph of a function y = f( x) Sketch y = f( x ) + 3 Common Functions f ( x) = x f ( x) = x

27 AMHS PreCalculus 7 Symmetry (revisited) Tests for Symmetry The graph of a function f is symmetric with respect to: 1. the y axis if f ( x) = f( x) for every x in the domain of the f ( x ).. the x axis if f ( x) = f( x) for every x in the domain of the f ( x ). If the graph of a function is symmetric with respect to the y axis, we say that f is an even function. If the graph of a function is symmetric with respect to the origin, we say that f is an odd function. In examples 1 3, determine whether the given function y = f( x) is even, odd or neither. Do not graph. Ex. 1 f ( x) x x 5 3 = + +x Ex. f( x) = x + 3 Ex. 3 f x ( ) x = + x

The graph opens upward if a > 0 and downward if a < 0. The domain of a quadratic function is the set of real numbers (, ). A quadratic function has a vertex (which serves as the minimum or maximum of the function depending on the value of a ), a line of symmetry, and may have zero, one or two x intercepts. Ex. 1 Sketch the graph of f( x) = ( x 1) + 3. Determine any intercepts.

30 AMHS PreCalculus 30 The standard form of a quadratic function is parabola and x = h is the line of symmetry. f ( x) a( x h) k = + where ( hk), is the vertex of the Ex.

33 AMHS PreCalculus 33 Freely Falling Object Suppose an object, such as a ball, is either thrown straight upward or downward with an initial velocity v0 or simply dropped ( v 0 = 0 ) from an initial height s 0. Its height, st () as a 1 function of time t can be described by the quadratic function st () = gt + vt+ s Gravity on earth is 3 ft / sec or 9.8 m / sec. Also, the velocity of the object while it is in the air is v() t = gt + v0 0 0 Ex. 10 An arrow is shot vertically upward with an initial velocity of the ground. 64 ft / sec from a point 6 feet above 1. Find the height st () and the velocity vt () of the arrow at time t 0.. What is the maximum height attained by the arrow? What is the velocity of the arrow at the time it attains its maximum height? 3. At what time does the arrow fall back to the 6 foot level? What is its velocity at this time?

What is the maximum height attained by the rocket? 3. Find the time when the rocket strikes the ground. What is the velocity at this time?

34 AMHS PreCalculus 34 Silly String Activity Unit 3 Objective: The use a quadratic function to model the path of silly string. Materials: Can of silly string, tape measure, stopwatch, clear overhead transparency, TI84 Personnel: Timekeeper, Silly String operator, assistant Calculate the initial velocity of the silly string as it exits the can. v 0 1. Hold the can of silly string 1 foot above the ground. Have the timekeeper start the stopwatch and say go. At this time, shoot a short burst of silly string towards the ceiling. Have the class keep a casual eye on the maximum height the silly string achieves. When the silly string hits the floor, have the timekeeper stop the stopwatch and record the elapsed time.. Measure the maximum height of the silly string observed by the class. Use the position equation 1 st () = gt + vt 0 + s 0 with g = 3 ft / sec to calculate. ( s = 1, get t from the timekeeper. This represents the time it took for the silly v0 0 string to reach the ground, i.e. st () =0) Now that we know gv, 0 and s0 we can set up a position equation to model the height of the silly string as a function of time. Use this equation to determine the maximum height (the vertex holds this info) of the silly string. How does this compare to the actual height observed by the class. What factors might have caused it to be different? Now we are going to get the assistant to lean over the can of silly string (with the clear overhead transparency protecting the face) in its original position 1 foot above the ground and see if the assistant can move fast enough to avoid getting silly string in the face. Calculate the time it would take for the silly string to reach the assistant s face (set st () = the height of the assistant s face and solve fort ) Once the reaction time for the assistant has been calculated and discussed, see if the assistant can actually react that quickly, i.e. avoid silly string in the face. To date, it has never been done. Enjoy!
