|
How do you tell if a parabola opens up or down?
|
a function of x: if a>0 it opens up and if a<0 it opens down
|
|
define a quadratic function
|
ax^2+bx+c
always represents a parabola |
|
How do you tell if a parabola opens left or right?
|
if it is a function of y: a>0 it opens to the right if a<0 it opens to the left
|
|
quadratic formula
|
|
|
vertex formula of a quadratic function

|
What are the properties of all polynomial and power functions?
|
1. continuous domain, no holes
2. No corners or cusps 3.Domain is always (- infinity, infinity) |
|
rational function equation
|
g(x)/h(x)
|
|
vertical asymptote
|
represents a hole in the domain (these lines can never be crossed)
|
|
horizontal asymptote
|
represents the end behavior of a direction and these lines can be crossed
|
|
when given a rational function and n>m (n=top exponent, m=lower exponent)
|
no horizontal asymptote
|
|
when given a rational function and n<m (n=top exponent, m=lower exponent)
|
HA, y=0
|
|
when given a rational function and n=m (n=top exponent, m=lower exponent)
|
then y=a^n/b^m
ex: 6x^3/2x^3=3 |
|
how do you check if the ha is crossed?
|
plug in the HA for the y value and solve, equation must be equal on both sides
