Notes P.4 pre-calculus Lines in the Plane Slope – rate of change y y 2 y1 m x 2 x1 = x Vertical is undefined slope. A vertical line occurs when x1=x2. Zero slope is a horizontal line and occurs when y1=y2. Point-slope form – equation of a line that passes through the point (x1,y1) and has slope m y - y1 = m ( x – x1) y-intercept – (of a non-vertical line) where line intersects the y-axis. Slope-intercept form of a line y = mx + b Standard Form of a line Ax + By = C where A, B are not both 0. General Form of a line Ax + By - C = 0 where A, B are not both 0 Vertical Line equation x=a Horizontal line equation y=b Parallel lines – slopes are equal Two nonvertical lines are perpendicular, if and only if, their slopes m1 and m2 are opposite reciprocals. That is if and only if m1 1 m2 Notes P.5 pre-calc Solving Equations Graphically, Numerically, Algebraically Quadratic Equations are in the form ax2 +bx +c =0 where a 0 How to solve quadratic equations. Factor then set each expression equal to 0 and solve. If ab=O then a=0 or b= 0 Find the x-intercepts by using a graphing calculator. Complete the square, then solve. 2 b b x bx c 2 2 2 2 2 b b x c 2 4 2 b b 2 4ac x Use the quadratic formula 2a When solving quadratic Equations round to three decimal places. Given two expressions equal to each other you may solve this by putting one expression into y1 and the other expression into y2 and find their intersection. The x-coordinate of the intersection is the solution. Notes P.6 pre-calc Complex Numbers i 1 i2= -1 A complex number is any number that can be written in the form a + bi where a and b are real numbers. The real number a is the real part of the complex number The real number b is the imaginary part a+bi is the standard form of a complex number Sum: (a + bi) + (c+di)= (a+c) + (bi+di) Difference: (a + bi) - (c+di)= (a-c) + (bi-di) Additive Inverse: (a + bi) is -(a+bi) = -a – bi Complex Conjugate of the complex number z=(a + bi) is z= a + bi =a – bi Multiplication identity for the complex numbers is 1=1+ 0i Multiplication inverse or reciprocal of z = a + bi 1 1 1 a bi a b i z = z a bi a bi a bi a2 b2 a2 b2 -1 Discriminant is b2 -4ac of b b 2 4ac x 2a If b2 -4ac < 0 then the root (solution) is a complex number If b2 -4ac > 0 then there are two real roots (solutions) If b2 -4ac = 0 then there is one real root (solution) If b2 -4ac < 0 then there are two complex conjugate roots Notes P.7 precalc Solving Inequalities algebraically/Graphically |x|< a Then x is in the interval (-a.a) |x|< a if and only if –a<x<a If |x|>a then x is in the interval (- ∞, -a) or(a, ∞) That is |x|> a if and only if x< -a or x>a Solve quadratic or cubic inequalities by factoring or graphing Projectile Motion – s = -16t2+v0t+s0 Initial velocity is s = v0 s0 = a point s0 feet above the ground t is seconds after it is launched.
