  1. LINEAR AND QUADRATIC FUNCTION DAVID. PARK

Transformation of function

๐‘ฆ = ๐‘“(๐‘ฅ) can be transformed into ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘“ ๐‘ฅ โˆ’ ๐‘Ž + ๐‘ by a translation For ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘“ ๐‘ฅ โˆ’ ๐‘Ž + ๐‘, the graph is translated horizontally ๐‘Ž units and vertically ๐‘ units.

Transformation of function

Consider the graph of ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘“ ๐‘ฅ Draw the graph (a) ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘“ ๐‘ฅ + 2 (b) ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘“ ๐‘ฅ + 4

Transformation of function

For ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘๐‘“ ๐‘ฅ , ๐‘ > 0 , is a vertical stretch of ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘“ ๐‘ฅ with scale factor ๐‘ with x-axis stays the same If ๐‘ > 1 , points move further away from the x-axis. If 0 < ๐‘ < 1 , points move closer to the x-axis.

Transformation of function

Consider the graph of ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘“ ๐‘ฅ Draw the graph (a) ๐‘ฆ = 3๐‘“(๐‘ฅ) (b) ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘“(2๐‘ฅ)

Transformation of function

๐‘ฆ = โˆ’๐‘“ ๐‘ฅ reflects the graph of ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘“ ๐‘ฅ over the x-axis ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘“ โˆ’๐‘ฅ reflects the graph of ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘“ ๐‘ฅ over the y-axis ๐‘ฆ = โˆ’๐‘“ โˆ’๐‘ฅ reflects the graph of ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘“ ๐‘ฅ over the origin

Transformation of function

For the graph of ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘“(๐‘ฅ) given, Sketch the graph (a) ๐‘ฆ = 2๐‘“(๐‘ฅ) (b) ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘“ ๐‘ฅ + 2 (c) ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘“ 2 ๐‘ฅ (d) ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘“ โˆ’๐‘ฅ

Algebraic Expressions

An algebraic expression is a mathematical phrase that includes numbers, letters and operations. A polynomial is an algebraic expression that is made up of variables and constants using only ๐‘ƒ ๐‘ฅ = ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘ฅ ๐‘›

  • ๐‘Ž๐‘›โˆ’ 1 ๐‘ฅ ๐‘›โˆ’ 1
  • โ‹ฏ + ๐‘Ž 1 ๐‘ฅ + ๐‘Ž 0

Quadratic equation

Linear function

Slope of line โˆ†๐‘ฆ โˆ†๐‘ฅ

๐‘ฆ 2 โˆ’๐‘ฆ 1 ๐‘ฅ 2 โˆ’๐‘ฅ 1 Equation of line ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘š๐‘ฅ + ๐‘ Where ๐‘š is slope and ๐‘ is intercept The x intercept is ๐‘ฅ = โˆ’ ๐‘ ๐‘š

Linear function

Linear function

๐‘š 1 = ๐‘š (^2) ๐‘š 1 ๐‘š 2 = โˆ’ 1

Linear function

Absolute value function

Absolute value means the distance on a number line between the graph of the number and the origin
