QuestionAnswer
parent function def the simplest, most basic form of a function in a family of related functions. It shows the general shape and behavior of that type of function without any transformations (like shifting, stretching, or reflecting).
vertex form for a parabola y = a (x-h)^2 + k
parent function for a parabola in vertex form y = x^2 OR f(x) = x^2
how to decide if a parabola opens up and down is the a is positive, then it opens up if the a is negitive, then it opens down
how to find the axsis of symetry of a parabola (vertex form) x = h --> take the (x - h) from the paraenthis and solve for x = h, h is the x-value -take the opposite value of h write this as an equation (cause it's a vertical line)
find the vertex of a parabola in vertex form (h,k) -h is the value from your axis of symetry -k is taken from the equations (same sign)
how to know if the vertex of a parabola is a maximum or minimum if the parabola goes down, its a max if the parabola goes up, its a min
what is the domain of a parabola (-∞, ∞) IT IS ALWAYS THIS -a parabola continues forever horizontally in every direction no matter what
what is the range of a parabola (vertex form) if it goes up: [K, ∞) if it goes down: [-∞, K)
how to find the x-intercept for a parabola in vertex form plug y=0 into the equation and solve
how to find the y-intercept for a parabola in vertex form plugging in x = 0 and solving there will only be one but it might be an imaginary
how do you know how many x-intercepts you will have for a parabola (vertex form) take the real square root of something = 2 x-intercepts vertex touches the x-axis = one x-intercept (is -k/a = 0) (the right hand side is 0) -square root of a negitive number = no real x-intercepts & 2 imaginary x-intercepts
how to graph a parabola (1, 1a) (2, 4a) -make sure to reflect each oint across the axis olf symetry
standrard form for a parabola y = ax^2 + bx + c
parent function for a parabola in standard form y = x^2 f(x)= x^2
how to find the axsis of symetry (standard form) x = -b/2a
how to find the vertex in standard form 1. find the axsis of symetry (this tells you what x is) 2. plug x into the equation and solve for y
what is the range of a parabola (standard form) up: [y, ∞) down: (-∞, y]
find the x-intercept in standard form plug in y= 0 into the equation -this gives you a quadratic 1. factor and solve 2. quadratic formula 3. completeing the square
quadratic formula
completeing the square
how to find the y-intercept in standard form plug in x = 0 -this is always y = c - (0, c)
given a polynomial divided by a monomial, how do you simplifiy indivisually divide each term in the dividend by the divisor
given a polynomial divided by a binomial, how do you simplify long division: divide 1st term of polynomial by 1st term of binomial multiply # by ENTIRE binomial subtract new binomial (multiply binomial by -1 cause ur subtracting) bring down next term repeat remainders go in a fraction over the divisor
WARNINGS FOR DOING LONG DIVISION (a polynomial divided by a binomial) -the polynomials must be in descending order (highest power to lowest power) -if it is missing an exponet (x^3 + x +1) than add in the missing term with a coefficent of 0 (0x^2)
synthetic dividion (part 1 - set up) -only use when dividing by a binomial 1. take the coefficients of your dividend in descending order 2. draw between last coefficient and 2nd last (the right of this line is the remainder) 3. solve for x in the divisor (called k)
synthetic division (part 2 - solve) 4. bring down 1st coefficient, multiply by k, add it to the next coefficient, multiply by k , add to next coefficent, repeat 5. use these numbers as coefficents and write a depressed polynomial (polynomial with one degree less than original)
how to know if a binomial is a factor of a polynomial using synthetic division if there is no remainder, then the divisor is a factor of the dividend (the remainder is called f(k)) f(k) = remainder
how to know how many roots/solutions/degrees/# of zeros a polynomial has the highest power is the degree
how to find possible rational roots 1. (p) find constant from equation & list it's factors 2.(q) list the factors of leading coefficent (coefficent of 1st term when the expression is in standard form) 3. make ratios: + or - p/q (use every combination of p and q possibe, no repeats
descrates rule of signs based on how many times the sign changes from positive to negitive or negitive to positive, you can find how many of that sign your answers will have
how to apply the descrates rule of signs 1. find the degree 2. plug a +1 & -1 into the equation 3. count the # of times the signs change (+ to - or - to+) for each equation --> this is the # of solutions for that category
how to apply the descrates rule of signs (part 2) 4. add the # of times, if doesnt add up to the degree, there're imaginary solutions (the impaginary, positive, and negitive solutions should add up to degree) 5. if the + or - cateogry is = or > than 2, then subtract 2 from category & adjust i category
when you write a remainder as a fraction... make sure you add the fraction, do not subtract it -if the fraction is negative, then make the numeratornegative EX: # + -#/# NOT # - #/#
what is the degree of a polynomial the number of degrees is also the number of zeros, solutions, roots, answers EX: x^3 = 0 is also x = 0 x = 0 x = 0
given one zero of a polynomial function, find all the zeros do synthetic division with ther given zero as the K solve the depressed equation write your answers (just list the numbers) INCLUDE THE GIVEN ZERO IN UR ANSWER
given a polynomial, list all possible zeros list all possible rational roots
given a polynomial, find all rational zeros find the PRs choose one PR use synthetic division with the chosen PR as K if the chosen PR results in a remainder of 0, then it is ONE OF the rational zeros either: try every PR to find all 0s OR use the found PR to solve depressed equation
given a polynomial, factor f(x) into factors find all zeros (find PR, try out synthetic division until a remainder of zero) make these zeros into linear factors EX: zeros: x, g, -y and: (x - x) (x - g) (x + y)
given a polynomial function, find all the complex zeros of each poly function pick a PR, do synthetic division to see if it is a factor, if it is, there'll be a remainder of 0, solve depressed equation, list ur answers IF YOU TAKE THE SQUARE ROOT, put the + or - symbol -include the k (the chosen PR that worked) in your answer
Multiplicities multiples of the same zero --> how many times you get the same answer -the multiplicitiy is the power EX: X^3 = o is x = 0 , x = 0, x = 0 --> multiplicity of 3
find a poly function with the zeros given f(x) = x^2 - sum (x) + product -any time you have a radical or an imagiary zero, always include it's conjugate (treat like another zero)
find a poly function with the zeros given ( 2 zeros and a conjugate) use the equation f(x) = x^2 - sum (x) + product for the conjugates only. Then, multiply that equation by the linear function of the other zero
find the poly function with the zeros given (you have 3 zeros and 1 conjugate) use the equation f(x) = x^2 - sum (x) + product on the conjugates 1st, then on the remaining 2. Then multiply both equations
If a polynomial needs to be divided by a product of several linear factors, you can perform sequential synthetic division for each linear factor.
alternate way to find the poly function when given the zeros -write each zero as a linear factor (x-#) -rember to include the conjugate if it is imaginary or a radical -them multiply the conjugates first, then multiply the rest
reivew imaginary numbers
when solving a polynomial using sythetic division with a PR as your k, your answer might not be a quadratic hoe to simplify this quadratic? List possible rational roots again using new polynomial Use synthetic division on the new polynomial again with a new k Repeat until you get a quadratic. solve and write the roots from the first and second part in ur answer
To determine if a parabola has no x-intercepts from its equation
