Precalc 1 &2

hyperbolas, parabolas, circles, lines, etc.

TermDefinition
y= 3x-9. What is the slope? (rise/run) up 3, over 1
midpoint formula x,y = (x1+ x2/2, y1 + y1/2)
distance formula d= square root of (x2-x1)^2 +(y2-y1)^2
definition of a circle a set of all points on a plane that are an equal distance from some fixed point
center-radius form of a circle (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
(x+3)^2 +(y-1)^2=1. What is the radius, and center? Center: (-3, 1), radius: 1
x^2 + (y+5)^2 =0. What is the graph? Center = (0,-5), radius = 0
Standard form of a line Ax +By = C
is 4x^2 + 3y =12 a line? No, because there is a square in the form
Both positive and negative slopes of a line go which direction? left to right
Slope = 0 Horizontal straight line ------
Slope is undefined vertical straight line I
rise/run = y2-y1/x2-x1
point slope formula y2- y1 = m(x2-x1)
parallel lines the slope of both of the lines is the same
perpendicular the slope of the lines are reciprocal (-1/m2)
I’m looking for the equation of a line, I need… A point and a slope.
Exceptions to lines with slopes Y=b, x=a
What makes a set not a function More than 1 number as an x value (input)
Open circle indicates… Parentheses and does not include end points
Closed circle indicates Brackets and does include end points
1-1 function F and f-1 are functions
Process for inverse equations 1. Replace f(x) with y. 2. Swap x and y. 3. Solve for y. 4. Replace y with f-1
function notation y=f(x)
a) (1,3), (2,3), 4,5) b) (1,2), (3,4), (2,1). Which is a 1-1 function? b) (1,2), (3,4), (2,1).
(x-h) goes which direction? right
(x+h) goes which direction? left
(y-k) goes which direction? upward
(y+k) goes which direction? downward
when reflecting across y-axis, (x,y) becomes.... (-x,y)
when reflecting across x-axis, (x,y) becomes.... (x, -y)
y= I x I is symmetric about which axis y axis
y^2 = 2x is symmetric about which axis? x axis
x -> kx, where I K I <1 means... a horizontal stretch
x -> kx, where I K I >1 means... a horizontal shrink
y -> ky, where I K I >1 means... shrink vertically
y -> ky, where I K I <1 means... stretch vertically
i= radical -1
i ^2 = -1
i^3 = -i
i^4= 1
i^5= i
equation of a parabola x^2= 4ay or 4a(y-k) = (x-h)^2
parabola: a >0 (two answers) opens up or to the right
parabola: a <0 (two answers) opens down or to the left
finding foci for an ellipse (+/- c, 0)
finding intercepts for ellipse x^2/a^2 and y^2/b^2
equation for an ellipse (x-h)^2/a^2 + (y-k)^2 /b^2 =1
equation for a hyperbola (x-h)^2/a^2 - (y-k)^2 /b^2 =1

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
