1.4.1 Add, subtract, and multiply polynomials (NO DIVISION)
VOCABULARY
A term that does not have a variable is called a constant. For example the number 5 is a constant because
it does not have a variable attached and will always have the value of 5.
A constant or a variable or a product of a constant and a variable is called a term. For example
3x 2 are all terms.
2, x , or
Terms with the same variable to the same power are like terms. 2x 2 and 7x 2 are like terms.
An expression formed by adding a finite number of unlike terms is called a polynomial. The variables
can only be raised to positive integer exponents. 4 x3  6 x 2  1 is a polynomial, while x 2  2 x 1  5 is not
a polynomial. NOTE: There are no square roots of variables, no fractional powers, and no variables in the
denominator of any fractions.
3

 . A polynomial with two terms is called a
binomial ( 2 x  1 ). A polynomial with three terms is called a trinomial  5 x  x  3 .
A polynomial with only one term is called a monomial 6x

2
Polynomials are in standard (general) form when written with exponents in descending order and the
constant term last. For example 2 x4  5x3  7 x2  x  3 is in standard form.
The exponent of a term gives you the degree of the term. The term 3x 2 has degree two. For a
polynomial, the value of the largest exponent is the degree of the whole polynomial. The polynomial
2 x4  5x3  7 x2  x  3 has degree 4.
The number part of a term is called the coefficient when the term contains a variable and a number. 6x
has a coefficient of 6 and  x 2 has a coefficient of -1.
The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the first term when the polynomial is written in standard
form. 2 is the leading coefficient of 2 x4  5x3  7 x2  x  3 .

VOCABULARY
The domain is the set of all first coordinates when given a table or a set of ordered pairs. It is the
set of all -coordinates of the points on the graph and is the set of all numbers for which an
equation is defined. The domain it is written from the least value to the greatest value.
The range is the set of all second coordinates when given a table or a set of ordered pairs. It is
the set of all y-coordinates of the points on the graph. When modeling real world situations, the
range is the set of all numbers that make sense in the problem. The range is written from the
least value to the greatest value.
Example:
Find the domain and range of f  x   2 x  2  3 .
Domain
1. Find any values for which the function is
undefined.
2. Write the domain in interval notation.

The square root function has real number
solutions if the expression under the radicand
is positive or zero. This means that x  2  0
therefore x  2 .
The domain is [2, ) .
Page 26
Secondary Mathematics 2
Range
1. Find all values for which the output exists.
2. Write the range in interval notation.
The square root function uses the principal
square root which is a positive number or zero
( y  0 ). However, the function has been
shifted down three units so the range is also
shifted down three units y  3 .
The range is [3, )
Example:
Find the domain and range of the function graphed to the right.
Domain
1. List all the x-values of the function
graphed.
If you were to flatten the function against the
x-axis you would see something like this:
The function is defined for all the x-values
along the x-axis.
2. Write the domain in interval notation.
The domain is  ,   .
Range
1. List all the y-values of the function
graphed.
If you were to flatten the function against the
y-axis you would see something like this:

Example:
The path of a ball thrown straight up can be modeled by the equation
h  t   16t 2  20t  4 where t is the time in seconds that the ball is in the air and h is the
height of the ball. What is the real world domain and range for the situation?
Domain
1. Find all the values that would make sense
for the situation.
2. Write the domain in interval notation.
The domain is (0,1.425) .
Range
1. Find all the values that would make sense
for the situation.
2. Write the range in interval notation.
The domain represents the amount of time that
the ball is in the air. At t = 0 the ball is thrown
and enters the air shortly afterwards so the
domain must be greater than zero. The ball
will hit the ground at 1.425 seconds. Once it is
on the ground it is no longer in the air so the
domain must be less than 1.425 seconds. The
ball is in the air for 0  t  1.425 seconds.
The ball will not go lower than the ground so
the height must be greater than zero. The ball
will go no higher than its maximum height so
the height must be less than or equal to 10.25
feet. The range will be 0  h  10.25 .
The range is (0,10.25] .

VOCABULARY
An interval is a set of numbers between two x -values. An open interval is a set of numbers
between two x -values that doesn’t include the two end values. Open intervals are written in the
form  x1 , x2  or x1  x  x2 . A closed interval is a set of numbers between two -values that
does include the two end values. Closed intervals are written in the form  x1 , x2  or x1  x  x2 .
A function f is increasing when it is rising (or going up) from left to right and it is decreasing
when it is falling (or going down) from left to right. A constant function is neither increasing nor
decreasing; it has the same y-value for its entire domain.
A function is positive when f  x   0 or the y-coordinates are always positive. A function is
negative when f  x   0 or the y-coordinates are always negative.

FACTORING
(To be used before F.IF.8)
VOCABULARY
Factoring is the reverse of multiplication. It means to write an equivalent expression that is a
product. Each of the items that are multiplied together in a product is a factor. An expression is
said to be factored completely when all of the factors are prime polynomials, that is they
cannot be factored any further.
The greatest common factor is the largest expression that all the terms have in common.

VOCABULARY
A perfect square is a number that can be expressed as the product of two equal integers. For
example: 100 is a perfect square because 10 10  100 and x 2 is a perfect square because
x  x  x2 .
FACTOR USING THE DIFFERENCE OF TWO SQUARES
When something is in the form a 2  b2 , where a and b are perfect square expressions, the
factored form looks like  a  b  a  b  .
Example:
x 2  49
x 2 and 49 are both perfect squares and you are
x2  x  x
49  7  7
 x  7  x  7 
finding the difference between them, so you
can use the difference of two squares to factor.
Therefore:
a  x and b  7
This is the factored form.
Example:
25x 2  36 y 2
25 x 2  5 x  5 x
36 y 2  6 y  6 y
25x 2 and 36 y 2 are both perfect squares and
you are finding the difference between them,
so you can use the difference of two squares to
factor.
Therefore:
a  5x and b  6 y
5x  6 y 5x  6 y 

FACTOR BY GROUPING
When factoring a trinomial of the form ax2  bx  c ,where a, b, and c are integers,
you will need to use the technique of factoring by grouping.
Example:
6 x 2  x  15
Multiply the leading coefficient and
the constant.
Choose the combination that will
either give the sum or difference
needed to result in the coefficient of
the x term.

up with  x .
Rewrite the equation using the
combination in place of the middle
term.
Group the first two terms and the last
two terms together in order to factor.
Factor the greatest common factor out

Write down what is in the parenthesis
(they should be identical). This is one

FACTORING GUIDELINES
#1: Always look for a greatest common factor. Then factor it out if there is one.
#2: Count the number of terms. If there are two terms, determine if you can use the
difference of two squares. If you can, factor. If not, proceed to #3.
#3: If there are three terms, check the leading coefficient. If it is “1”, then find factors of
the constant term that add to the coefficient of the x-term. If not, proceed to #4.
#4: If the leading coefficient is not “1”, factor by grouping.

Forms of Quadratic Functions
Standard Form: f  x   ax 2  bx  c , where a  0 . Example: f ( x)  4 x 2  6 x  3
Vertex Form: f ( x)  a( x  h)2  k , where a  0 . Example: f ( x)  2( x  3)2  5
Factored Form: f ( x)  a( x  p)( x  q) , where a  0 . Example: f ( x)  ( x  4)( x  7)
A zero of a function is a value of the input x that makes the output f  x  equal zero. The
zeros of a function are also known as roots, x-intercepts, and solutions of ax2  bx  c  0 .
The Zero Product Property states that if the product of two quantities equals zero, at least
one of the quantities equals zero. If ab  0 then a  0 or b  0 .
Finding Zeros (Intercepts) of a Quadratic Function
When a function is in factored form, the Zero Product Property can be used to find the zeros
of the function.
If f  x   ax  x  p  then ax  x  p   0 can be used to find the zeros of f  x  .
If 0  ax  x  p  then either ax  0 or  x  p   0 .
Therefore, either x  0 or x  p .

The goal is to arrange the pieces into a square.
The x pieces are divided evenly between the
two sides so that each side is  x  3 long.
However, there is a large piece of the square
that is missing. In order to complete the
square you need to add 9 ones pieces.

Finding Maximum/Minimum (the vertex) Points of a Quadratic Function
VOCABULARY
Remember when a quadratic function is in vertex form f ( x)  a( x  h)2  k the point  h, k 
is the vertex of the parabola. The value of a determines whether the parabola opens up or
down.
The vertex of a parabola that opens up, when a  0 , is the minimum point of a quadratic
function.
The vertex of a parabola that opens up, when a  0 , is the maximum point of a quadratic
function.
Example:
2
Find the vertex of f ( x)   x  2   3 , then determine whether it is a maximum
or minimum point.
f ( x)   x  2   3
2
f ( x)   x   2     3
2
Rewrite the equation so it is in the general
vertex form f ( x)  a( x  h)2  k .
Vertex: (-2, -3)
h  2 and k  3
The vertex is a minimum.
The leading coefficient is 1, which makes
a0

H.5.1 Derive the equations of ellipses and hyperbolas given the foci, using the fact that
the sum or difference of distances from the foci is constant.
VOCABULARY
An ellipse is the set of all points in a plane the sum of whose distances from two fixed points
(called foci), F1 and F2 , is constant. The midpoint of the segments connecting the foci is the
center of the ellipse.
An ellipse can be elongated horizontally or vertically. The line through the foci intersects the
ellipse at its vertices. The segment whose endpoints are the vertices is called the major axis.
The minor axis is a segment that is perpendicular to the major axis and its endpoints intersect
the ellipse.

VOCABULARY
A hyperbola is the set of all points in a plane whose distances from two fixed points in the plane
have a constant difference. The fixed points are the foci of the hyperbola.
The line through the foci intersects the hyperbola at its vertices. The segment connecting the
vertices is called the transverse axis. The center of the hyperbola is the midpoint of the
transverse axis. Hyperbolas have two oblique asymptotes that intersect at the center.
Deriving the Standard Equation of a Hyperbola
The difference of the
distance from a point
P  x, y  on the
hyperbola to each foci,
 c,0 and  c,0 , is
PF1  PF2  2a

Building Functions That Model Relationships Between Two
Quantities
Cluster 3: Building functions that model relationships between two quantities
2.3.1 Focus on quadratics and exponentials to write a function that describes a
relationship between 2 quantities (2nd difference for quadratics)
2.3.1 Determine an explicit expression or steps for calculation from context.
2.3.1 Combine functions using arithmetic operations.
Vocabulary
A function is a relation for which each input has exactly one output. In an ordered pair the
first number is considered the input and the second number is considered the output. If any
input has more than one output, then the relation is not a function.
For example the set of ordered pairs {(1,2), (3,5),(8,11)} is a function because each input
value has an output value. The set {(1, 2) (1, 3), (6, 7)} does not represent a function because
the input 1 has two different outputs 2 and 3.
Linear Function- a function that can be written in the
form y  mx  b ,where m and b are constants. The graph
of a linear function is a line.
A linear function can be expressed in two different ways:
Linear notation: y  mx  b
Function notation: f  x   mx  b
f  x   2x  1
Linear functions can model arithmetic sequences, where
the domain is the set of positive integers, because there is
a common difference between each successive term. The
common difference can also be called the first difference.
Linear functions can model any pattern where the first
difference is the same number.
Jordan School District

+2 +2 +2 1st difference
Secondary Mathematics 2
Exponential Function- a function of the form f ( x)  ab x
where a and b are constants and a  0, b  0 , and b  1.
Exponential functions are most easily recognized by the
variable in the exponent. The values of f(x) are either
increasing (exponential growth) if a  0 and b  1 or
decreasing (exponential decay) if a  0 and 0  b  1 .
f  x   2x
Exponential functions can model geometric sequences,
where the domain is the set of positive integers, because
each successive term is multiplied by the same number
called the common ratio. Exponential functions can
model any pattern where the next term is obtained by
multiplying each successive term by the same number.
1, 3, 9, 27, ...
3 3 3 common ratio
Quadratic Function- a function that can be written in the
form f ( x)  ax2  bx  c where a  0 .
Quadratic functions are most easily recognized by the x 2
term. The graph is a parabola. A quadratic function can
be formed by multiplying two linear functions. The
quadratic function to the right can also be written as
f  x   ( x  3)(2 x  1) .
f  x   2 x2  5x  3
To determine if a pattern or a sequence can be modeled by
a quadratic function, you have to look at the first and
second difference. The second difference is the difference
between the numbers in the first difference. If the first
difference is not the same number but the second
difference is, then the pattern or sequence can be modeled
by a quadratic function.

Example:
Determine if the pattern 1, 3, 9, 19, … would be modeled by a linear function, an
exponential function, or a quadratic function.
Answer:
Check the first difference to see if it is the same
number each time. For this pattern, it is not the
same, so it will not be modeled by a linear
function.
1, 3, 9, 19, ...
+2 +6 +10
Check to see if each term is being multiplied by
the same factor. For this pattern, it is not the
same, so it will not be modeled by an exponential
function.
1, 3, 9, 19, ...
 3 3  2.1
Check the second difference to see if it is the
same number each time. For this pattern, it is the
same, so the pattern can be modeled by a
quadratic function.

from the graph. Therefore, consider the context of the
example. The amount of the drug will continue to decrease
unless more is given to the patient. If the patient does not
receive more medication, at some point there will only be trace
amounts of the drug left in the patient’s system. This would
suggest a function that continues to decrease until it reaches a
leveling off point. An exponential model would be better suited for this situation.

VOCABULARY
There are several types of functions (linear, exponential, quadratic, absolute value, etc.). Each of
these could be considered a family. Each family has their own unique characteristics that are
shared among the members. The parent function is the basic function that is used to create
more complicated functions.
The graph of a quadratic function is in the shape of a parabola. This is generally described as
being “u” shaped.
The maximum or minimum point of a quadratic function is the vertex. When a quadratic
2
function is written in vertex form, f ( x)  a  x  h   k , then the vertex, (h, k ) , is highlighted.
The axis of symmetry is the vertical line that divides the graph in half, with each half being a
reflection of the other. The equation for the axis of symmetry is x  h .

The absolute value function is actually a piecewise-defined function consisting of two linear
equations.
 x, if x  0
f  x  x  
 x, if x  0
Absolute value is often defined as the distance from zero. Therefore, the output is positive.
The point where the two linear equations meet is called the vertex. It is also the minimum or
maximum of the function. The vertex,  h, k  , can easily be identified when the absolute value
function is represented in the form f  x   a x  h  k .

The words even and odd describe the symmetry that exists for the graph of a function.
A function is considered to be even if, for every number x in its domain, the number –x is also in the
domain and f   x   f  x  . Even functions have y-axis symmetry.
A function is considered to be odd if, for every number x in its domain, the number –x is also in the
domain and f   x    f  x  . Odd functions have origin symmetry.
Even Function
The function graphed at the left is even because (2, 1) is a
point on the graph and (-2, 1) is also a point on the graph.
Notice that -2 is the opposite of 2, but both inputs give the
same output. Therefore, f   x   f  x  , i.e. opposite inputs
generate the same output.
Odd Function
The function graphed at the left is odd because (2, 2) is a point
on the graph and (-2, -2) is also a point on the graph. Notice
that the input -2 is the opposite of 2, and gives the opposite
output from 2. Therefore, f   x    f  x  , i.e. opposite
inputs generate outputs that are opposites of each other.
Neither Even nor Odd
The function graphed at the left is neither even nor odd. It is
not even because the point (4, 2) is on the graph, but (-4, 2) is
not. Similarly, it is not odd because the point (-4, -2) is not a
point on the graph.

Determining Even and Odd Algebraically
It is possible to graph functions and visually determine whether the function is even or odd, but
there is also an algebraic test that can be applied. It was previously stated that if a function is
even, then evaluating the function at x and –x should produce the same output or f   x   f  x  .
If a function is odd, then evaluating the function at x and –x should produce outputs that are
opposite or f   x    f  x  .
Example:
Is the function f  x   3x an even function, an odd function, or neither?
Original function.
f  x   3x
Substitute –x in for each x in the function.
f   x   3   x 
Simplify.
f   x   3x
Compare the output to the original function.
3x  3x
If they are the same, then the function is even.
If they are opposite, then the function is odd.
If they are anything else, then they are neither.
f  x  f  x
f  x   f  x
Conclusion: f  x   3x is an odd function.

Example:
Is the function g  x   x 2  4 x  4 an even function, an odd function or neither?
Original function.
g  x   x2  4x  4
Substitute –x in for each x in the function.
g  x  x  4 x  4
Simplify.
g   x   x2  4x  4
Compare the output to the original function.
x2  4 x  4  x2  4 x  4
If they are the same, then the function is even.
If they are opposite, then the function is odd.
If they are anything else, then they are neither.
g  x  g  x
2
g  x  g  x
Conclusion: g  x   x 2  4 x  4 is neither an even nor an odd function.
Example:
Is the function h  x   2 x  4 an even function, an odd function, or neither?
Original function.
h  x   2 x  4
Substitute –x in for each x in the function.
h  x   2   x   4
Simplify.
h  x   2 x  4
Compare the output to the original function.
2 x  4  2 x  4
If they are the same, then the function is even.
If they are opposite, then the function is odd.
If they are anything else, then they are neither.
h  x  h  x
h   x   h  x 
Conclusion: h  x   2 x  4 is an even function.

VOCABULARY
The graph of an inverse relation is the reflection of the graph of the original relation. The line
of reflection is y = x.
The original relation is the set of ordered pairs: {(-2, 1), (-1, 2), (0, 0), (1, -2), (2, -4)}. The
inverse relation is the set of ordered pairs: {(1, -2), (2, -1), (0, 0), (-2, 1), (-4, 2)}. Notice that for
the inverse relation the domain (x) and the range (y) reverse positions.
Original Relation
Domain: {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}
Range: {-4, -2, 0, 1, 2}
The points are reflected over
the line y  x . Notice that
each point is the same distance
away from the line, but on the
opposite side of the line.
Inverse Relation
Domain: {-4, -2, 0, 1, 2}
Range: {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}

4. {(7, 6), (2, 9), (-3, -2), (-7, 1), (8, 10)}
VOCABULARY
If no vertical line intersects the graph of a function f more than once, then f is a function. This is
called the vertical line test.
If no horizontal line intersects the graph of a function f more than once, then the inverse of f is
itself a function. This is called the horizontal line test.
The inverse of a function is formed when the independent variable is exchanged with the
dependent variable in a given relation. (Switch the x and y with each other.) A function takes a
starting value, performs some operation on this value, and creates an output answer. The inverse
of a function takes the output answer, performs some operation on it, and arrives back at the
original function's starting value. Inverses are indicated by the notation f 1 .

This example is not one-to-one. It is a function
because the vertical line intersects the graph
only once. However, the horizontal line
intersects the graph twice. There is an inverse
to this example, but the inverse will not be a
function.
This example is one-to-one. It is a function
because the vertical and horizontal lines
intersect the graph only once. The inverse will
be a function.

VOCABULARY
A quadratic pattern can be found in other types of expressions and equations. If this is the case,
we say these expressions, equations, or functions are quadratic in nature. Recall the standard
form of a quadratic expression is ax2  bx  c , where a, b, and c are real numbers and a  0 .

1.3.2 Add, subtract, and multiply with complex numbers
VOCABULARY
The imaginary unit, i , is defined to be i  1 . Using this definition, it would follow that
i 2  1 because i 2  i  i  1  1  1 .
The number system can be extended to include the set of complex numbers. A complex number
written in standard form is a number a + bi, where a and b are real numbers. If a = 0, then the
number is called imaginary. If b = 0 then the number is called real.
Simplifying Radicals with i
Extending the number system to include the set of complex numbers allows us to take the square
root of negative numbers.

Find the conjugate of a complex number; use conjugates to find quotients of
complex numbers.
VOCABULARY
The conjugate of a complex number is a number in the standard complex form a  bi , where the
imaginary part bi has the opposite sign of the original, for example a  bi has the opposite sign
of a  bi . Conjugate pairs are any pair of complex numbers that are conjugates of each other
such as 3  4i and 3  4i .
The product of conjugate pairs is a positive real number.

Divide by an imaginary number bi
If there is an imaginary number in the denominator of a fraction, then the complex number is not
in standard complex form. In order to write it in standard complex form, you must multiply the
numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. This process removes the
imaginary unit from the denominator and replaces it with a real number (the product of conjugate
pairs is a positive real number) without changing the value of the complex number. Once this is
done, you can write the number in standard complex form by simplifying the fraction.

3.5.1 Solve with complex numbers
VOCABULARY
The square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the number. For
example if r 2  a , then r is the square root of a. There are two possible values for r; one
positive and one negative. For instance, the square root of 9 could be 3 because 32  9 but it
2
could also be 3 because  3  9 .
A perfect square is a number that can be expressed as the product of two equal integers. For
example: 100 is a perfect square because 10 10  100 and x 2 is a perfect square because
x  x  x2 .
Solving Equations by Taking the Square Root
When solving a quadratic equation by taking the square root, you want to isolate the squared
term so that you can take the square root of both sides of the equation.
Example:
Solve the quadratic equation x 2  4 .
In this example the squared term is x 2 and it is
already isolated.

Writing and Solving Quadratic Equations in One Variable
When solving contextual type problems it is important to:
 Identify what you know.
 Determine what you are trying to find.
 Draw a picture to help you visualize the situation when possible. Remember to label all
parts of your drawing.
 Use familiar formulas to help you write equations.
 Check your answer for reasonableness and accuracy.
 Make sure you answered the entire question.
 Use appropriate units.
Example:
Find three consecutive integers such that the product of the first two plus the square of
the third is equal to 137.
The first number is x. Since they are
consecutive numbers, the second term is
one more than the first or x + 1. The third
term is one more than the second term or
x 11  x  2 .
Multiply the first two together and add the
result to the third term squared. This is
equal to 137.

A photo is 6 in longer than it is wide. Find the length and width if the area is 187 in 2 .
width  x
length  x  6
187  x  x  6 
The width is the basic unit, so let it equal
x. The length is 6 inches longer than width
or x  6 . A photo is rectangular so the
area is equal to the width times the length.
The area is 187 square inches.
187  x2  6 x
Multiply the right side.
0  x2  6 x  187
Make sure the equation equals 0.
0   x  11 x  17 
Factor the expression on the right side of
the equation.
Use the Zero Product Property to solve for
x.
The length of a photo cannot be negative.
Therefore, x must be 11. The length is
x  6  11  6  17 .
A  x   wl  x  x  6 
x  11  0

The width is 11 inches and the length is

Note: Often problems will require information from more than one equation to solve. For
example, you might need the perimeter equation to help you write the area equation or vice
versa. The primary equation is the equation you solve to find the answer you are looking for.
The secondary equation is the equation you use to help set up your primary equation.

VOCABULARY
Objects that are shot, thrown, or dropped into the air are called projectiles. Their height,
measured from the ground, can be modeled by a projectile motion equation. The object is
always affected by gravity. The gravitational constant is different depending on the units of
measurement. For example, the gravitational constant in feet is 32 ft/sec2 and in meters it is
9.8 m/sec2 . Similarly, the projectile motion equation for an object shot or thrown straight up or
down is different depending on the units of measurement.
Feet: h(t )  16t 2  v0t  h0
Meters: h(t )  4.9t 2  v0t  h0
h(t ) represents the height at any time t. The time is measured in seconds. The initial velocity,
v0 , is the speed at which the object is thrown or shot. It is measured in ft/sec or m/sec. The
initial height, h0 , is the height that the object is shot or thrown from. It is measured in feet or
meters.
Example:
The Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) in Chicago, Illinois is the tallest building in the
United States. It is 108 stories or about 1,451 feet high. (Assume that each floor is 13
feet high.)

The building is measured in feet so use
the projectile motion equation for feet.
The equipment was dropped making the
initial velocity 0 ft./sec. The building has
108 floors, but he stopped 28 short of the
top floor. Each floor is 13 feet high;
multiply the number of floors by the
height of each floor to get the initial
height.
We want to know when the equipment

We are asked to find where the expression is greater than or equal to zero, in other words,
where the expression is positive. Determine if the expression is positive or negative
around where the numerator and denominator are equal to zero. Select a value in the
interval and evaluate the expression at that value, then decide if the result is positive or
negative.

There are two intervals where the expression is positive: when x  3 and when x  52 .
The function is only equal to zero when x  3 because the denominator cannot equal

Example:
A rocket is launched with an initial velocity of 160 ft/sec from a 4 foot high platform.
How long is the rocket at least 260 feet?
Write an inequality to represent the situation. The initial velocity, v0 , is 160 ft/sec and
the initial height, h0 , is 4 feet. The height will be at least (greater than or equal to) 260 ft.
16t 2  v0t  h0  h
16t 2  160t  4  260
You need to determine the real world domain for this situation. Time is the independent
variable. It starts at 0 seconds and ends when the rocket hits the ground at 10 seconds.
Move all the terms to one side of the inequality so the expression is compared to zero.
16t 2  160t  256  0
Find where the expression is equal to zero.

You are given the x-intercepts which are a key
feature that is highlighted by the factored form of
a quadratic function. Use this form to help you
write the equation for the parabola graphed.
One x-intercept is  2, 0  so p  2 . The other
x-intercept is  2, 0  q  2 . Substitute these
values into the equation and simplify if
necessary.
Use the point  0, 6  to help you find the value of

Solving Systems of Equations with Vectors and Matrices
H.3.1 Represent a system of linear equations as a single matrix equation in a vector
variable.
H.3.2 Find the inverse of a matrix if it exists and use it to solve systems of linear
equations (using technology for matrices of dimension 3 × 3 or greater).
In Secondary Mathematics 1 Honors you learned to solve a system of two equations by writing
the corresponding augmented matrix and using row operations to simplify the matrix so that it
had ones down the diagonal from upper left to lower right, and zeros above and below the ones.

When a matrix is in this form it is said to be in reduced row-echelon form. The process for
simplifying a matrix to reduced row-echelon form is called Gauss-Jordan elimination after the
two mathematicians, Carl Friedrich Gauss and Wilhelm Jordan. This process, using row
operations, can be used for systems of two or more variables.

Note: R indicates row and the number following indicates which row. For instance, R1 indicated
row one.
Interchange Rows
We want to have ones
along the diagonal. We
can switch rows so that
the one ends up in the
correct position.
Symbol: R1  R2
All of the elements of
Row 1 will switch
positions with all the
elements of Row 2.
Multiply a row by a scalar
We want positive ones
down the diagonal.
Multiplying each
element by a scalar k,
Symbol: k  R1
 k  0 , allows us to
change values in one
row while preserving
the overall equality.

VOCABULARY
An exponential function is a function of the form f  x   ab x where a and b are constants and
a  0 , b  0 , and b  1.
Exponential functions can also be of the form A  P 1  r  . This is the simplified interest
formula. Each part of the formula has a specific meaning. The principal, P, is the original
amount of money that is deposited. The interest rate, r, is expressed as a decimal and represents
the growth rate of the investment. Time, t, is the number of years that the money remains in the
account. The amount, A, after t years can be calculated by using the formula.

Exponential Growth and Decay
VOCABULARY
Money is not the only real world phenomenon that can be modeled with an exponential function.
Other phenomena such as populations, bacteria, radioactive substances, electricity, and
temperatures can be modeled by exponential functions.
A quantity that grows by a fixed percent at regular intervals is said to have exponential growth.
The formula for uninhibited growth is A  t   A0ekt , k  0 , where A0 is the original amount, t is
the time and k is the growth constant. This formula is similar to the continuous interest formula
A  Pert . Both formulas are continuously growing or growing without any constraints.

VOCABULARY
A quantity that decreases by a fixed percent at regular intervals is said to have exponential
decay. The formula for uninhibited decay is A  t   A0ekt , k  0 where A0 is the original
amount, t is the time and k is the constant rate of decay.
The decay formula is the same as the growth formula. The only difference is that when k > 0 the
amount increases over time making the function have exponential growth and when k < 0 the
amount decreases over time making the function have exponential decay.

4.1.1 Describe events as subsets of a sample space (the set of outcomes) using
characteristics (or categories) of the outcomes, or as unions, intersections, or
complements of other events (“or,” “and,” “not”).
VOCABULARY
An event is an activity or experiment which is usually represented by a capital letter. A sample
space is a set of all possible outcomes for an activity or experiment. A smaller set of outcomes
from the sample space is called a subset. The complement of a subset is all outcomes in the
sample space that are not part of the subset. A subset and its complement make up the entire
sample space. If a subset is represented by A, the complement can be represented by any of the
following: not A, ~A, or A c .
Example 1:

The intersection of two
events includes only those
outcomes that are in both

can be indicated by the
word “and” or the symbol

4.2.2 Apply the Addition Rule
VOCABULARY
Probability is a value that represents the likelihood that an event will occur. It can be
represented as a fraction, decimal  0  probabiltiy  1 , or percent. A probability of zero (0)
means that the event is impossible and a probability of one (1) means that the event must occur.
Events are independent if the occurrence of one event does not change the probability of
another event occurring. Events are dependent if the occurrence of one changes the probability
of another event occurring. For example, drawing marbles from a bag with replacement is
independent, while drawing marbles from a bag without replacement is dependent.
Joint probability is the likelihood of two or more events occurring at the same time.

VOCABULARY
A probability that takes into account a given condition is called a conditional probability. A
given condition is when we already know the outcome of one of the events. For example, when
flipping a coin and rolling a die, the probability of “rolling a 6 given heads”, means we already
know the coin has resulted in heads. This is written P(6 | heads).

Applications of Probability
Cluster 2: Computing probabilities of compound events
4.2.3 Apply the general Multiplication Rule
4.2.4 Use permutations and combinations to compute probabilities of compound events
Cluster 3: Using probability to evaluate outcomes of decisions
4.3.1 Use probability to make fair decisions
4.3.2 Analyze decisions and strategies
VOCABULARY
A compound event consists of two or more simple events. Tossing a coin is a simple event.
Tossing two or more coins is a compound event. A compound event is shown as
P(A  B)  P( A)  P( B)
A tree diagram is a way of illustrating compound events. Each simple event adds new branches
to the tree diagram. The end result shows all possible outcomes.
When events are independent, the probability of a compound event is the product of the
probability of the desired outcome for each simple event. This is the general Multiplication Rule.

Probability of Two Dependent Events: If two events, A and B, are dependent, then the
probability of both events occurring is P  A  B   P  A  P  B A . In other words, the
probability of both events occurring is the probability of event A times the probability of event B
given that A has already occurred. Likewise, P  B  A  P( B)  P  A B  . These formulas can be
extended to any number of independent events.

Using Probability Models to Analyze Situations and Make Decisions
VOCABULARY
A game in which all participants have an equal chance of winning is a fair game. Similarly, a
fair decision is based on choices that have the same likelihood of being chosen.
Fair Decisions and Random Numbers
In order for a decision to be fair each possible outcome must be equally likely. For example if
you are hosting a party that includes 20 people and want to randomly choose 5 people to bring
treats there are multiple ways in which to make a fair and unfair decision.
A fair decision would be to assign each person a number. Write each of these numbers on a
separate piece of paper and drop them into a hat. Shuffle the numbers in the hat and choose five
papers to match five party members. These five people would be assigned to bring treats. This is
often referred to as “drawing lots”.
An unfair decision would be to write each person’s name on a piece of paper. Then arrange the
papers in alphabetical order. Starting with the first paper, flip a coin and record the result: heads
or tails. The first five friends that have a tail flipped for them must bring treats. This is unfair
because you will probably never flip a coin for your friends that have names that begin with
letters at the end of the alphabet.
Often Random Numbers are used to help you make fair decisions. For an event to be random
there is no pre-determined bias towards any particular outcome. Often people use random
number tables, random number generators on a calculator, or simply shuffle pieces of papers that
have numbers printed on them.
Example 11:
The addition game is played by rolling two dice. Player 1 gets a point if the sum of the two dice
is even. Player 2 gets a point if the sum of the two dice is odd. Use probability to determine if
this game is fair.

5.1.2: Transformations with similarity using equality of corresponding angles and
proportionality of corresponding sides
5.1.3: Establish criterion of AA using similarity transformations
VOCABULARY
A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original
figure but the image is a different size. The dilation uses a center and a scale factor to create a
proportional figure.
The center of dilation is a fixed point in the plane about which all points are expanded or
contracted.
The scale factor is the ratio of the new image to the original image (i.e. if the original figure has
4
a length of 2 and the new figure has a length of 4, the scale factor is  2 .)

A ' B ' C ' (the image) is a dilation of ABC

Similarity
VOCABULARY
Two figures are similar if and only if there is a dilation that maps one figure onto the other. In
the new figure, corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are proportional to
the original figure. You can denote that two figures are similar by using the symbol . For
example, ABC
DEF .
Optional Exploration Activity
Is it sufficient to know that two angles are congruent to two corresponding angles in another
triangle in order to conclude that the two triangles are similar?
Step 1: Using graph paper, dynamic geometry software or patty paper, have students construct
any triangle and label its vertices.
Step 2: Construct a second triangle with two angles that measure the same as two angles in the
first triangle.
Step 3: Measure the lengths of the sides of both triangles and compare the ratios of the
corresponding sides.
Step 4: Compare your results to those of other students.
Example 1: State if the triangles in each pair are similar. If so, state how you know they are
similar and create the similarity statement.
V
Since VUT  LKJ , VTU  LJK , and
the angles of a triangle add to 180 , the third
set of angles must also be congruent. The

Prove Theorems about Lines and Angles
Cluster 2: Prove Geometric Theorems
5.2.1
Prove theorems about lines and angles: vertical angles, alternate interior
angles, corresponding angles, points on a perpendicular bisector of a segment
VOCABULARY
Two nonadjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines
are called vertical angles or opposite angles. For example,
AEB and DEC are vertical angles.
A line that intersects two or more lines in a plane at
different points is called a transversal. Transversal p
intersects lines q and r.
When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal,
angles that are in the same position at each intersection are
called corresponding angles. For example, 1 and 5 ,
2 and 6 , 3 and 7 , 4 and 8 are all corresponding
angles.
When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal,
angles that are inside of the two parallel lines, but on
opposite sides of the transversal are called alternate
interior angles. For example, 3 and 5 , and 4 and
6 are both alternate interior angles.
A segment, line, or ray perpendicular to a given segment
that cuts the segment into two congruent parts is called a
perpendicular bisector. For example, CD is the
perpendicular bisector of AB .

Theorems and Postulates
This unit of the core requires students to create proofs, formal or informal, to prove the following
theorems and postulates. Example proofs will be provided; however, teachers will probably do
tasks with students to complete these proofs in class.
Vertical Angle Theorem: If two angles are vertical angles, then they are congruent.
Corresponding Angle Postulate: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of
corresponding angles is congruent.
Alternate Interior Angle Theorem: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair
of alternate interior angles is congruent.
Perpendicular Bisector Theorem: Any point on the perpendicular bisector of a segment is
equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.
Example 1: Proof of the Vertical Angle Theorem
Given: ABC and EBD are vertical angles.
Prove: ABC  EBD
ABC and CBD are vertical angles.
Given.
ABC is supplementary to CBD and
EBD is supplementary to CBD .
ABC and CBD form a straight angle.
EBD and CBD form a straight angle.
mABC  mCBD  180
mEBD  mCBD  180
Definition of supplementary angles.
mABC  180  mCBD
mEBD  180  mCBD
Subtraction property of equality.
mABC  mEBD
Transitive property.
Jordan School District
Page 249
Secondary Mathematics 2
Example 2: Proof of Corresponding Angle Postulate
Given: q || r , 1 and 5 are corresponding angles
Prove: 1  5
We know that angle 4 is supplementary to angle 1 from the straight angle theorem. 5 and
4 are also supplementary, because they are interior angles on the same side of transversal p
(same side interior angles theorem).
Therefore, since m4  180  m1  180  m5 , we know that m1  m5 which means that
1  5 . This can be proven for every pair of corresponding angles in the same way.
Example 3: Proof of Alternate Interior Angle Theorem
Given: q r
Prove: 3  7
1  3 and 5  7 because they are vertical angles.
If q r then 1  5 and 3  7 because they are
corresponding angles.
Therefore, using the transitive property, 3  7 .
A similar argument can be given to show 4  6 .

Prove: AC  BC
Because CD is the perpendicular bisector of AB , AE  BE . CEA  CEB because they are
both right angles. CE is congruent to itself because of the reflexive property. This means that
CEA  CEB using SAS. Since the triangles are congruent, all of their corresponding parts
must be congruent. Therefore, AC  BC .

VOCABULARY
The angles inside of a triangle are called interior angles.
A triangle with at least two congruent sides is called an
isosceles triangle. In an isosceles triangle, the angles that
are opposite the congruent sides are called base angles.
A point that is halfway between the endpoints of a segment
is called the midpoint. Point C is the midpoint of AB .
A segment whose endpoints are the midpoints of two sides
of a triangle is called the midsegement of a tiangle.
The line connecting midpoints to the opposite vertex of a
triangle is called the median. Point S is the midpoint of
AC . Point Q is the midpoint of BC . Point R is the
midpoint of AB .
The point where all three medians of a triangle intersect is
called a centroid. Point T is the centroid of ABC .

Theorems
This unit of the core requires students to create proofs, formal or informal, to prove the following
theorems. Example proofs will be provided; however, teachers will probably do tasks with

Angle Sum Theorem: The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180.
Isosceles Triangle Theorem: If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite
those sides are congruent.
Triangle Midsegment Theorem: A midsegment of a triangle is parallel to one side of the
triangle, and its length is one-half the length of that side.
Theorem: The medians of a triangle meet at a point.
Example 1: Proof of the Angle Sum Theorem
Given: ABC
Prove: mC  m2  mB  180
Draw XY through A so it is parallel to CB . Because 1 and CAY form a linear pair they are
supplementary, so m1  mCAY  180 . 2 and 3 form CAY , so m2  m3  mCAY .
Using substitution, m1  m2  m3  180 . Because you drew XY parallel to CB , we know
1  C and 3  B since they are alternate interior angles. Because the angles are
congruent, their measures are equal. Therefore, using substitution again, we know
mC  m2  mB  180 .

Example 2: Proof of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem
Given: PQR, PQ  RQ
Prove: P  R
Let S be the midpoint of PR . Draw SQ . Since S is the midpoint, PS  RS . QS is congruent
to itself. Since were were given that PQ  RQ , we know that all 3 corresponding pairs of sides
are congruent and we can say PQS  RQS because of SSS congruency. Therefore, P  R
since they are corresponding angles of congruent triangles.

Example 2: If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its opposite angles are congruent.
Given: ABCD is a parallelogram
Prove: A  C and B  D
Since ABCD is a parallelogram, the opposite sides must be parallel.
Draw BD as a diagonal of the parallelogram. We know AD  BC and AB  CD because
opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent. BD is congruent to itself. This creates two
congruent triangles by SSS: ABD  CDB . Because the triangles are congruent, the
corresponding parts will be congruent. Therefore, A  C . The same logic can be used using
AC as the diagonal to show B  D .
Example 3: If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its diagonals bisect each other.
Given: ACDE is a parallelogram
Prove: AB  BD and EB  BC
It is given that ACDE is a parallelogram. Since opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent,
EA  DC . By definition of a parallelogram, EA || DC . AEB  DCB and EAB  CDB
because alternate interior angles are congruent. EBA  CBD by ASA. Since the triangles are
congruent, their corresponding parts are also congruent. Therefore, AB  BD and EB  BC .

Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem: If a triangle is a right triangle with hypotenuse c, then
a 2  b2  c 2 .
Given: ABC is a right triangle with hypotenuse c
Prove: a 2  b2  c 2
Draw CD so it is perpendicular to AB . This creates three right triangles, ABC , ACD , and
CBD . All three of these triangles are similar by AA similarity. ABC ~ CBD because they
both have a right angle and they have B in common. ABC ~ ACD because they both have
a right angle and they have A in common. ACD ~ CBD because they are both similar to
ABC .
Since we know the triangles are similar, we also know the ratios of the sides are all the same.
Start with ABC and CBD .

Next, add the two equations together and factor out c.
a 2  b2  cd  ce
a 2  b2  c(d  e)
Looking at the original picture we see d  e  c , so we can substitute.
a 2  b 2  c (c )
a 2  b2  c2
Therefore, given a right triangle with hypotenuse c, a 2  b2  c 2 .

Right Triangle Trigonometry
Cluster 5: Defining trigonometric ratios and solving problems
5.5.1 Similarity of triangles leads to the trigonometric ratios of the acute angles.
5.5.2 Understand the relationship between the sine and cosine of complimentary angles.
5.5.3 Use trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right triangles in
applied problems
Two figures that have congruent angles and proportional sides are similar. The requirements for
proving that two right triangles are similar are less than the requirements needed to prove nonright triangles similar. It is already known that both triangles have one right angle. Therefore,
two right triangles are similar if one acute angle is congruent to one acute angle in the other right
triangle. In a right triangle, the ratio between the side lengths is a function of an acute angle ( 0
to 90 ). There are six distinct trigonometric ratios that are functions of an acute angle in a right
triangle. Right triangles that are similar will have the same trigonometric ratios.
VOCABULARY
The side opposite the right angle is the called the
hypotenuse.
The side that meets the hypotenuse to form the angle
 is called the adjacent side.
The side that is opposite the angle  is called the
opposite side.

VOCABULARY
The complex plane is where the horizontal axis represents the
real component, a, and the vertical axis represents the imaginary
component, bi, of a complex number.
The rectangular form of a complex number, a  bi , is written
as  a, b  . Traditionally known as  x, y  . To graph a point in
the complex plane, graph a units horizontally and b units
vertically.
The modulus (plural form is moduli) of a complex number is
defined by z  a 2  b2 and is the length, or magnitude, of the
vector in component form created by the complex number in the
complex plane.

Unit 5 Honors Unit Circle
Defining Trigonometric Ratios on the Unit Circle
H.5.6 Define trigonometric ratios and write trigonometric expressions in equivalent
forms.
There are special right triangles. These triangles have special relationships between the lengths
of their sides and their angles that can be used to simplify calculations when finding missing
angles and sides.
45  45  90 Triangle
The Pythagorean Theorem allows us to derive the relationships that
exist for these triangles. Consider a right isosceles triangle with leg
lengths x and hypotenuse h. Since this is a right isosceles triangle, the
measures of the angles are 45  45  90 .
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we know that x2  x 2  h2 . Solving the equation for h, we get:
h2  x2  x2
h2  2 x2
h  2 x2
hx 2
45  45  90 Triangle
In any 45  45  90 triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is
2 times the length of its leg.
x 2
Therefore, in a 45  45  90 , the measures of the side lengths are x, x, and x 2 .
Jordan School District
Page 304
Secondary Mathematics 2
30  60  90 Triangles
There is also a special relationship for triangles with angles of
30  60  90 . When an altitude, a, is drawn from the vertex of an
equilateral triangle, it bisects the base of the triangle and two
congruent 30  60  90 triangles are formed. If each triangle has a
base of length x, then the entire length of the base of the equilateral
triangle is 2x.
Using one of the right triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem, we know that a 2  x 2   2 x  2 .
Solving for a we get:
a2  x2   2x  2
a2  4 x2  x2
a 2  3x 2
a  3x 2
ax 3
Therefore, in a 30  60  90 triangle, the measures of the side lengths are x, x 3, and 2 x .
30  60  90 Triangles
In any 30  60  90 triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter leg,
and the length of the longer leg is 3 times the length of the shorter leg.

For any point  x, y  on a circle of radius 1, the x-coordinate is the cosine of the angle and the ycoordinate is the sine of the angle. A circle of radius 1 is called a unit circle. Special values on
the unit circle are derived from the special right triangles, 45  45  90 triangles and
30  60  90 triangles, and their trigonometric ratios.
Special Right Triangles and the Unit Circle
Recall that if you reflect any point  x, y  , on the coordinate plane over the x axis, y axis, or the
origin, then the following relationships exist:
Reflection over the y axis ( x, y)  ( x, y)
Reflection over the x axis ( x, y)  ( x,  y)
Reflection over the origin ( x, y)  ( x,  y)
Jordan School District

Secondary Mathematics 2
We will use this reasoning to show relationships of special right triangles on the unit circle.
To illustrate a 45  45  90 triangle on the unit circle, we are going to rotate a point 45 from
the positive x-axis. The right triangle formed has a hypotenuse of 1 and leg lengths of x and y.
Since two of the angles are congruent this is an isosceles right triangle and the lengths of the legs
are the same, x  y . Finding the value of x will help us identify the numerical coordinates of the
point  x, y  .
The length of the hypotenuse in a 45  45  90 is equal to the length of a leg times
Using this property we can find the length of a leg.

To illustrate a 30  60  90 triangle on the unit circle, we are going to rotate a point 60 from

The length of the hypotenuse in a 30  60  90 is twice the length of the shorter side. Thus,

If we plot all of the points where   30, 45, and 60 and their reflections, then we get most of
the unit circle. To obtain the rest of the unit circle we have to examine what happens to a point
when   0 .
Notice that the value of x is equal to 1 and that the value of y is zero. Thus, when   0 , the
point ( x, y)  1, 0  . Even though this point does not form a right triangle, any point on a circle
can be found by using cosine and sine. Therefore, cos 0  1 and sin 0  0 .
If we reflect the point over the y-axis, then the new point is ( x, y)   1,0  . This is equivalent
to a rotation of 180 from the positive x-axis. The coordinates of the new point are:
( x, y)    cos 0,sin 0   cos180,sin180    1,0  .

Secondary Mathematics 2
Finally we need to observe what happens when we rotate a point 90 from the positive x-axis.
Notice that the value of y is equal to 1 and that the value of x is zero. Thus, when   90 , the
point ( x, y)   0,1 . Therefore, cos90  0 and sin 90  1 .
If we reflect the point over the x-axis, then the new point is ( x,  y)   0, 1 . This is equivalent
to a rotation of 270 from the positive x-axis. The coordinates of the new point are:
( x,  y)   cos90,sin 90   cos 270,sin 270    0, 1 .
Plotting all of the points, we obtain what is referred to as the unit circle.
The unit circle can be used to find exact values of trigonometric ratios for the angles that relate to
the special right triangle angles.

VOCABULARY
A trigonometric identity is a statement of equality that is true for all values of the variable for
which both sides of the equation are defined. The set of values for which the variable is defined
is called the validity of the identity.
sin 
is an example of a trigonometric identity. The validity of the
cos 
identity would not include values of  that would make cos   0 because dividing by zero is
undefined.

Recall the work that you have done with expressions that are quadratic in nature. For example,
( x  3)2  7  x  3  10 is an expression that is quadratic in nature. If u  x  3 , then the
expression can be rewritten as u 2  7u  10 . This could then be factored as  u  5 u  2  .
Replacing u with x  3 , you get
Jordan School District
  x  3  5    x  3  2  .
Page 317
Trigonometry expressions can also be
Secondary Mathematics 2
quadratic in nature. For example, the expression cos2 x  5cos x  6 is quadratic in nature. If
u  cos x , then it could be rewritten as u 2  5u  6 . This could then be factored as  u  2  u  3 .
Substituting cos x back in for u, the factored expression is  cos x  2  cos x  3 . You may need
to use this idea when proving trigonometric identities.

Prove All Circles are Similar
Figures that are similar have corresponding parts that are proportional. To prove that all circles
are similar, you will need to prove that their corresponding parts are proportional.
Proof that all circles are Similar
Given: A  D , radius of circle A is x, and radius of circle D is y.
Prove: Circle A is similar to Circle D.
First we need to prove that ABC DEF so we need to establish AA criterion. Since
AB  AC , ABC is an isosceles triangle. The base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent
to one another. Therefore B  C . Similarly, DE  DF so DEF is also an isosceles
triangle. Therefore E  F . The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 so
A  B  C  180 and D  E  F  180 . We know that B  C and E  F so
A  2B  180 and D  2E  180 . Solving each equation for A and D yields
A  180  2B and D  180  2E . Since A  D we know that
180  2B  180  2E and B  E . By AA similarity ABC DEF . Because the two
AB x
 .
triangles are similar their sides will be proportional. The ratio of proportionality is
DE y
AB is a radius of circle A and DE is a radius of circle D. The ratio of the radii of the circles is
x
. The diameter of circle A is 2x and the diameter of circle D is 2 y . The ratio of the diameter
y
2x x
 . The circumference of circle A is 2 x and the
of circle A to the diameter of circle D is
2y y
circumference of circle D is 2 y . The ratio of the circumference of circle A to the
2 x x
 . The corresponding parts of circle A are proportional to
circumference of circle D is
2 y y
the corresponding parts of circle D, therefore circle A is similar to circle D.
In addition to having corresponding parts proportional to one another, figures that are similar to one
another are dilations of one another. A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the
same shape as the original figure but the image is a different size. The dilation uses a center and a
scale factor to create a proportional figure. The ratio of the corresponding parts is the scale factor of
the dilation.

Properties of Central Angles and Inscribed Angles
VOCABULARY
An arc is a portion of a circle's circumference.
An intercepted arc is the arc that lies in the interior of an
angle and has its endpoints on the angle.
A central angle is an angle that intersects a circle in two
points and that has its vertex at the center of the circle. The
measure of the angle is the same as the measure of its
intercepted arc.
An inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on a circle and
whose sides contain chords of the circle. The measure of the
angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc.
ACB is a central angle of circle C and its intercepted arc is
AB and mACB  mAB . ADB is an inscribed angle of
circle A and its intercepted arc is AB and mADB 

If the mACB is less than 180 , then A, B, and all the
points on C that lie in the interior of mACB form a minor
arc. A minor arc is named by two consecutive points. The
measure of a minor arc is the measure of its central angle.
AB is the minor arc of circle C.
Points A, B, and all points on C that do not lie on AB form
a major arc. A major arc is named by three consecutive

points. The measure of a major arc is 360° minus the measure
of the related minor arc.
ADB is the major arc of circle C.
A semicircle is an arc whose central angle measures 180°. A
semicircle is named by three points.
An inscribed angle that intercepts a semicircle is a right angle.

Congruent arcs are arcs with the same measure either in the
same circle or congruent circles. Congruent central angles or
inscribed angles have congruent arcs and congruent arcs have
congruent central angles or inscribed angles.

Quadrilaterals Inscribed in Circles
Theorem
If a quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, its opposite angles are supplementary.
Proof of Theorem:
Given: Quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in circle E
Prove: A and C are supplementary. B and D are
supplementary.
By arc addition and the definitions of arc measure, mBCD  mBAD  360 and
mABC  mADC  360 . Since the measure of the intercepted arc is twice the measure of the
inscribed angle, 2mA  mBCD , 2mC  mBAD , 2mB  mADC and 2mD  mABC . By
substitution 2mA  2mC  360 and 2mB  2mD  360 . Using reverse distribution, the
equations can be rewritten as 2  mA  mC   360 and 2  mB  mD   360 . Applying
the division property of equality the equations can be rewritten as mA  mC  180 and
mB  mD  180 . By definition of supplementary, A and C are supplementary and B

Circles with Coordinates and Without Coordinates
Cluster 2: Finding arc lengths and areas of sectors of circles
6.2.1 The length of the arc intercepted by the angle is proportional to the radius
6.2.1 The radian measure is the ratio between the intercepted arc and the radius
6.2.1 Derive the formula for the area of the sector
Recall that the measure of an arc is the same as the measure of the
central angle that intercepts it. The measure of an arc is in degrees,
while the arc length is a fraction of the circumference. Thus, the
measure of an arc is not the same as the arc length.
Consider the circles and the arcs shown at the
left. All circles are similar therefore circle 2 can
be dilated so that it is mapped on top of circle 1.
The same dilation maps the slice of the small
circle to the slice of the large circle. Since
corresponding lengths of similar figures are
proportional the following relationship exists.

Solving this proportion for l1 gives the following
equation.

. We can

find that number by looking at how the central angle compares to the entire circle. Given a

central angle of 30 it is

intercepted by the central angle of 30 will also be
of the circumference. Therefore the
12
length of the arc depends only on the radius.
This means that the arc length, l1 , is equal to the radius, r1 , times some number,

Area of a Sector
A region of a circle determined by two radii and the arc intercepted by
the radii is called a sector of the circle (think of a slice of pie). A
sector is a fraction of a circle, so the ratio of the area of the sector to
the area of the entire circle is equal to the measure of the central angle
creating the sector to the measure of the entire circle.
Symbolically this ratio is

Equation of a Circle

6.3.1 Find the equation of a circle given the center and the radius using the Pythagorean
Theorem; also complete the square to find the center of the circle given the
equation
Deriving the Equation of a Circle Centered at the Origin
A circle is the set of all points equidistant from a given point called the center. In order to derive
the equation of a circle, we need to find the distance from the center to any point  x, y  on the
circle. This distance is the length of the radius. We can derive the equation of a circle using the
distance formula or the Pythagorean Theorem.
Create a right triangle with the radius as the hypotenuse, the
length x as the horizontal leg, and the length y as the vertical
leg.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem to relate the sides we get:
r 2  x2  y 2 .
Where r is the radius and the circle is centered at the origin.
Example 1:
Identify the center and radius of the circle with equation x 2  y 2  49.
Answer:
Rewrite the equation so that it matches the
standard form of the equation of a circle.
x 2  y 2  49
x2  y 2  72
The square root of 49 is 7, therefore 72  49 .
The center is at the origin and the radius is 7.

Formula for Circumference
The circumference of a circle is 2 r . The perimeter of a regular polygon inscribed in a circle
gives an estimate of the circumference of a circle. By increasing the number of sides, n, of the
regular polygon we increase the accuracy of the approximation.

If we had a regular polygon with an infinite number of sides, then we would have the exact value
of the circumference of a circle. To prove this numerically, we need a formula for the perimeter
of a regular polygon with n sides. The perimeter of a regular polygon is found by multiplying
the number of sides by the side length. Symbolically that is P  ns . If we can find the value for
any side length, s, then we can find the perimeter for any regular polygon with n sides.
Given a regular polygon with side length s and radius r we can divide
the polygon into n congruent isosceles triangles.
Each triangle has a hypotenuse of length r and a base of length s. If we
construct a perpendicular bisector from the central angle to the base,
we can use trigonometric ratios to find the length of s.

Secondary Mathematics 2
Since the perpendicular bisector, a, divides the side of length, s, in
half s  2 x . Thus, we need to find the value x. The opposite side is x
x
and the hypotenuse is r therefore sin   . By multiplying each side
r
of the equation by r we can isolate x and we get x  r sin  . Since
s  2 x , s  2r sin  . Substituting this value into our perimeter
equation yields P  ns  n  2r sin  .
The central angle is found by dividing 360 by the number of sides, n. The angle  is half of the
360
central angle. Thus,  

We can use this equation to show that as n increases the perimeter approaches 2 r  6.283r .

A regular polygon with 1000 sides is accurate to four decimal places for the approximation of
2 r . With an infinite number of sides, the regular polygon would essentially be a circle and the
perimeter would equal 2 r . Therefore, the circumference of a circle is 2 r .

Area of a Circle
A similar process can be used to show that the area of a circle is  r . The area of a regular
polygon inscribed in a circle gives an estimate of the area of a circle. By increasing the number
of sides, n, of the regular polygon we increase the accuracy of the approximation of the area of a
circle.

The base is length s and we know that s  2r sin  . We need to find

A simpler way to look at this is by slicing the circle into infinitely many slices and arranging
those slices so that they form a parallelogram. The smaller the slice, the more linear the
intercepted arc becomes and the more it looks like a parallelogram.

that is not in the same plane as the base. The height of the cone is the
perpendicular distance between the vertex and the base.

The three figures above have the same volume. Each figure has the same number of levels and
each level has the same volume. This illustrates Cavalieri’s Principle.
Cavalieri’s Principle
If two space figures have the same height and the same cross-sectional area at every level, then
they have the same volume.
The volume of any prism or cylinder can be found by multiplying the area of the base times the
height, V  Bh .
Volume of a Cylinder
Extending the idea of Cavalieri’s principle, the volume of a cylinder is the area of its base, a
2
circle, times the perpendicular height. Symbolically, V  Bh   r h .
Formula for the Volume of a Cylinder
The volume of a cylinder with radius r and height h is V   r h .

Volume of a Pyramid
The volume of a cube can help us find the volume of a pyramid. Since a cube has 6 faces that

are all squares, the volume of a cube is V  Bh  b  b  b , where b is the length of the side.
Inside the cube, place 6 pyramids that have a face of the cube as a

are equally sized square pyramids.
Using the formula for the volume of a cube, we can derive the volume of one of the pyramids.

Volume of a Cone
The relationship between the volume of a cone and the volume of a cylinder is similar to the
relationship between the volume of a pyramid and the volume of a prism. We already know that
the volume of a pyramid is one-third the volume of a prism. We want to show that the volume of
a cone is also one-third the volume of a cylinder. To do this, we are going to look at a pyramid
with a base that has n sides. If we increase the number of sides until there are an infinite number
of sides, the pyramid will have a circular base and be a cone.
6 sided base
8 sided base
Inifinite sided base
When we increase the number of sides of the base of pyramid, we also change the shape of the
prism that holds the pyramid. The prism that contains the pyramid with an infinite number of
sides is a cylinder.

Volume of a Sphere
In order to derive the formula for the volume of a sphere, we need to review Cavalieri’s
Principle. That is, that if two figures have the same height and same cross-sectional area at every
1
level, then they have the same volume. We will also use the volume of a cone V   r 2 h and the
3
2
volume of a cylinder V   r h .
Consider the cylinder and hemisphere given below, both with a radius of r and height r. From the
cylinder, a cone is cut out that shares the same base as the cylinder and also has a radius of r and
a height of r. We are going to prove that this “cone-less cylinder”, or the part of the cylinder that
remains after the cone has been removed, has the same volume as the hemisphere. Once we have
proven that they have the same volume, we can merely double the formula for the “cone-less
cylinder” to obtain the volume for a sphere.
Cylinder
Hemisphere
We start calculating the volume of the “cone-less cylinder” by subtracting the volume of the
cone from the volume of the cylinder. Since the height is r, the volume of this cone would be

V   r 2 h   r 2  r   r 3 and the volume of the cylinder would be V   r h   r  r   r .

Upon subtracting their volumes we get V   r 3   r 3   r 3 . So the volume of the “cone-less
3
3
2
cylinder” is V   r 3
3
In order to use Cavalieri’s Principle, we are going to create circular cross sections of the figures
by slicing them at height h and comparing their areas. The cross section of the cylinder and the
hemisphere are shown below.
Hemisphere
Cylinder with cone inside
Jordan School District
Page 377
Secondary Mathematics 2
Cross sectional slice of cylinder with cone
Cross sectional slice of hemisphere
If we can prove that these cross sections have the same area, then by Cavalieri’s Principle the
volume of the hemisphere and the volume of the “cone-less” cylinder are the same. Start by
finding the area of the cross section of the hemisphere, or the disk shaped cross section. We need
to find its radius, z. Since the cross section is h units above the base of the hemisphere, we can
use the Pythagorean Theorem and the radius of the hemisphere’s base to calculate the cross
sectional radius z to be z  r 2  h2 . Using this radius we can now calculate the area of the
cross section. A   z 2  

r 2  h2

2
  (r 2  h 2 ) . To find the area of the cross-section of the
“cone-less cylinder”, or the washer shaped cross section, we need to subtract the small circle
from the large circle. Since the radius of the cone at any height h is proportional to the height
with a 1:1 ratio, the large circle (cross-section of the cylinder) has a radius of r while the small
2
circle (cross-section of the cone) has a radius of h. Thus the area of the large circle is  r and the
2
area of the small circle is  h . Their difference is  r 2   h2   (r 2  h2 ) . Therefore, the area of
the cross section from the hemisphere is the same as the area of the cross section from the “coneless” cylinder. Cavalieri’s Principle states that if we sum up all of our equal slices or cross
sectional areas then we obtain equivalent volumes for the hemisphere and “cone-less cylinder.”
2
Recall that the volume of the cone-less cylinder is V   r 3 . We can then infer that the volume
3
2 3
of the hemisphere is V   r and the that volume of the sphere would be twice the volume of
3

The zeros are  0, 0  and 10, 0  . The first zero
means that the rocket starts its launch from the
ground at time zero. The second zero represents
when the rocket comes back down to the ground 10
seconds later. The vertex is  5, 400  . This means
that the rocket reaches its maximum height of 400
feet after 5 seconds.
