6 Section Symmetry Knowing the symmetry of a graph before attempting to sketch it is helpful, because then you need only half as many solution points to sketch the graph. There are 3 basic types of symmetry a graph may have: -axis symmetry -axis symmetry origin symmetry Type of symmetry -axis Graphical Tests for Symmetry Whenever is on the graph, is also on the graph. Algebraic Tests for Symmetry Replacing with yields an equivalent equation. -axis Whenever is on the graph, is also on the graph. Replacing with yields an equivalent equation. Origin Whenever is on the graph, is also on the graph. Replacing with and with yields an equivalent equation.

12 Section Functions Definition of Function A function from a set to a set is a rule of correspondence (or relation) that assigns to each element in the set exactly one element in the set. The set of inputs,, is the of the function. The set of outputs,, is the of the function. A function may be represented as a set mapping, as a set of ordered pairs, graphically, or as an equation. In algebra, it is most common to represent functions by equations. Can you see why? Set Mapping Set of Ordered Pairs Graphically Equation

(a) (b) Note: If is a function of, then is the independent variable and is the dependent variable. Function Notation When an equation is used to represent a function, it is convenient to name the function so that it can be referenced easily. For example, the equation describes as a function of. Suppose we give the function the name. Then we can use the following function notation. Input Output Equation The symbol represents the -value of the function at. So we can write.

Example: To represent or in interval notation, we write

18 Section A closed dot An open dot indicates a point is included in the graph of a function. indicates a point is excluded from the graph of a function. The use of dots at the extreme left and right points of a graph indicates that the graph does not extend beyond these points. If no such dots are shown, assume that the graph extends beyond these points. Example 1 Use the graph of the function to find the following.

74 Section The graph of f ( x) a x x If a 1, then f ( x) a is increasing. If 0 a 1, then f ( x) a is decreasing. x (0,1) (1, a ) (0,1) (1, a ) Base e There is a certain irrational exponential base which occurs frequently in calculus applications, the number e. Definition: The number e is defined as n ,000 1,000,000 1 e lim 1 n n 1 1 n 1 n , , ,000,000 n 1,000, As n gets larger, the approximation for e gets better! For all intents and purposes, we can think of e as approximately x Since e 1, the graph of f ( x) e is an increasing exponential function.

76 Section Principal Total amount borrowed (or invested) Compound Interest Compound Interest When interest due (or earned) at the end of a payment period is added to the principal, so that the interest computed at the end of the next payment period is based on this new higher principal amount (old principal + interest), interest is said to have been compounded. Annually 1 time per year Semiannually 2 times per year Quarterly 4 times per year Monthly 12 times per year Daily 365* times per year *In practice, most banks use a 360-day year Simple Interest Formula If a principal of P dollars is borrowed (or invested) for a period of t years at an annual interest rate r, expressed as a decimal, the interest I charged (or earned) is: Suppose we invest $100 in a Money Market account at an annual interest rate 6% for 1 year 1) If interest is compounded annually, then: At the end of 1 year, we will earn the following in simple interest: I Prt =100(0.06)(1) = $6 2) If, however, interest is compounded semiannually, then: After 6 months (1/2 year), we will earn the following in simple interest: 1 I Prt = 100(0.06) 2 = $3 Compounding #1 Assuming this earned interest remains in the Money Market account, the new higher principal amount is now: $100 $3 =$103 After another 6 months, we will earn the following in simple interest: 1 I Prt = 103(0.06) 2 = $3.09 Compounding #2 So TOTAL interest earned after 1 year is $3 $3.09 = $6.09

77 74 Section 3.1 So we earned more than 6% interest annually with semiannually compounding because the interest earned after the first compounding (6 months) made the principal HIGHER for the second compounding!! In fact, since we started with $100 and earned a total of $6.09 in interest after semiannually compounding, we effectively earned 6.09% simple interest after 1 year. We call 6.09% the effective interest rate. Compound Interest Formula The balance A in an account after t years due to a principal P invested at an annual interest rate r (in decimal form) compounded n times per year is: What happens to the balance as the number of times interest is compounded per year gets larger and larger?? In other words, what happens as n? n 1 r r Recall, e lim 1. In general, e lim 1 n n n n. Hence, nt n r r A P 1 P 1 P e n n t r t as n n Continuous Compounding Formula The balance A in an account after t years due to a principal P invested at an annual interest rate r (in decimal form) compounded continuously is :

78 Example 3 Find the balance in an account after 10 years if is invested at 3% interest compounded a) monthly Section b) continuously

148 Section Partial Fractions We call the sum on the RHS a partial fraction decomposition of the rational expression on the LHS. How to Decompose a Rational Expression into Partial Fractions: Step 1 If the rational expression is improper (ie. the degree of numerator the degree of denominator) first divide using long division. Then proceed to decompose the proper rational expression. Step 2 Completely factor the denominator into linear and irreducible (non-factorable) quadratic factors. Step 3 For each linear factor of the form, include in the decomposition Step 4 For each irreducible quadratic factor of the form, include in the decomposition Step 5 Proceed to find the coefficients in the numerators as follows: If the basic equation contains only linear factors 1. Substitute the zeros of the distinct linear factors into the basic equation. 2. For repeated linear factors, use the coefficients determined in the previous step to rewrite the basic equation. Then substitute other convenient values of and solve for the remaining coefficients. If the basic equation contains any quadratic factors 1. Expand the basic equation. 2. Collect terms according to power of. 3. Equate the coefficients of like terms to obtain equations involving and so on. 4. Use a system of linear equations to solve for

Use a dashed or solid line for the boundary as follows: 2) Shade the correct region. (One method for shading: Test a point not on the line in the original inequality. If a true statement results, shade the region containing the test point. If a false statement results, shade the OTHER region.) Example 1 Sketch the graph of the inequality

155 152 Section 7.5 How to Sketch the Graph of a System of Inequalities: 1) Sketch the graph of each inequality separately. 2) The solution region is the region that is common to every graph in the system. (Note: If there is no common region, the system of inequalities has no solution) 3) Find and label the vertices of the solution region and indicate each with either an open or closed dot as appropriate. WARNING: There is a mistake in many of the answers to HW problems in the back of the book. The author of the answer key forgot to include open dots when a vertex should not be part of the solution.

157 154 Section Matrices and Systems of Equations If and are positive integers, an matrix is a rectangular array in which each entry,, of the matrix is a number. A matrix having rows and columns is said to be of order. Matrices are usually denoted by capital letters. The plural of matrix is matrices. If a matrix has the same number of rows as columns, then the matrix is square of order. For a square matrix, the entries are the main diagonal entries. Circle the main diagonal entries on the square matrices given below: square matrix: square matrix: A matrix that has only one row is called a row matrix, and a matrix that has only one column is called a column matrix. Example 1 Determine the order of each matrix.

158 Section Consider the following system of equations: System: A matrix derived from a system of linear equations is the augmented matrix of the system. Augmented Matrix: The matrix derived from the coefficients of the system (but not including the constant terms) is the coefficient matrix of the system. Coefficient Matrix: Example 2 Write the system of equations corresponding to the augmented matrix.

159 156 Section 8.1 Row-Echelon Form and Back Substitution Consider the following two systems of linear equations. Write the corresponding augmented matrix for each system. Augmented Matrices: The second system is said to be in row-echelon form, which means that the coefficient matrix has a stair-step pattern with leading coefficients of 1. A matrix is in row-echelon form when the following conditions are met: 1. The first nonzero entry in each row (called the lead entry) is Lead entries appear farther to the right as we move down the rows of the matrix. 3. Any rows containing only 0 s are at the bottom of the matrix Examples: It may be verified that both systems above have the same solution,, and, which can be written as the ordered triple. Two systems of equations are equivalent if they have the same solution set. Hence, the two systems given above are equivalent. After comparing the two systems, it should be clear that it is easier to solve the system given in row-echelon form! To solve a system that is not in row-echelon form, first convert it to an equivalent system that is in row-echelon form by using the following operations. Elementary Row Operations Each of the following row operations performed on the augmented matrix of a system of linear equations produces an equivalent system of linear equations. 1. Interchange two rows. 2. Multiply a row by a nonzero constant. 3. Add a multiple of a row to another row.

160 Section Consider the system of equations: 1. Interchange two rows: This corresponds to the following move involving the augmented matrix: 3 / 2 7 / r r Multiply a row by a nonzero constant. This corresponds to the following move involving the augmented matrix: / 2 7 / 2 1 R 2r Add a multiple of a row to another row. This corresponds to the following move involving the augmented matrix: R 3r r After performing the above three row operations, we get an equivalent system in row-echelon form. Now solve by back-substitution:

161 158 Section 8.1 To solve a system of linear equations using matrices, we perform elementary row operations on the augmented matrix to obtain a matrix that is in row-echelon form. This method of solving a system of equations is called Gaussian elimination with back-substitution: Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Write the augmented matrix of the system of linear equations. Use elementary row operations to rewrite the augmented matrix in rowechelon form. Write the system of linear equations corresponding to the matrix in rowechelon form, and use back-substitution to find the solution. Example 3 Use matrices and the method of Gaussian elimination to solve the system of equations. 3x 3y 3 8 4x 2y 3

162 Section How to Solve a System of Linear Equations using Gaussian Elimination: Step 1 Write the augmented matrix that represents the system. Step 2 Perform row operations to get a leading 1 in the first row, first column entry. 1 a b i c d e j f g h k Step 3 Perform row operations to get a column of 0 s below the first leading 1, while leaving the first leading 1 unchanged. 1 a b i 0 j k n 0 l m o Step 4 Perform row operations to get a leading 1 in the second row, second column entry. (If this entry is already 0, then get a leading 1 in the third column of this row.) 1 a b i 0 1 p q 0 l m o Step 5 Perform row operations to get a column of 0 s below the second leading 1, while leaving the previous 1 s and 0 s unchanged. 1 a b i 0 1 p q 0 0 r s Step 6 Now repeat step 4, placing a 1 in the next row, but one column to the right. Continue until the bottom row or the vertical bar is reached. 1 a b i 0 1 p q Row Echelon Form t Step 7 Write the system of equations and solve.

165 162 Section 8.1 A modification of Gaussian elimination, called Gauss-Jordan elimination, uses row operations to produce a matrix in reduced row-echelon form. With this method, we can obtain the solution of the system from that matrix directly, and back substitution is not needed. A matrix is in reduced row-echelon form when the following conditions are met: 1. It is in row echelon form. 2. Entries above each lead entry are also zero. Examples: To get a matrix in reduced row echelon form requires the extra step of getting 0 s above and not just below leading 1 s. Example 7 Use matrices and the method of Gauss-Jordan elimination to solve the system of equations.

178 Section Finding an Inverse Matrix If is, the elementary row operations performed on the augmented matrix will transform it into. If it is not possible to row reduce to, then is not invertible and thus does not have an inverse. Refer to Example 2 (pg. 600) in the book for the rationale of this method. Example 2 Find the inverse of the matrix (if it exists).

179 176 Section 8.3 Example 3 Find the inverse of the matrix (if it exists). Finding the Inverse of a (Using the Formula) Matrix If is a matrix given by the inverse can be found using the formula Note: If, then does not have an inverse. What is the determinant of the matrix in Example 3?

180 Section Example 4 Find the inverse of the matrix (if it exists). Use the formula. Example 5 Find the inverse of the matrix (if it exists). Use the formula.

181 178 Section 8.3 Consider the system of linear equations: The system can be represented by the matrix equation, where is the coefficient matrix of the system, and and are column matrices. The column matrix is called a constant matrix. Verify that this matrix equation represents the system of linear equations. Thus, solving the matrix equation for will yield the solution to the system of equations. Solve for in the matrix equation: Solving a System of Equations Using an Inverse Matrix If is an invertible matrix, the system of linear equations represented by has a unique solution given by

182 Example 6 Use the inverse matrix found in Example 2 to solve the system of linear equations. Section

183 180 Section Applications of Matrices and Determinants So far, we have studied 2 methods for solving a system of linear equations using matrices: 1) Gaussian (or Gauss-Jordan) Elimination performed on the augmented matrix 2) Using an Inverse Matrix to solve the corresponding matrix equation In this section, we will study one more method, Cramer s Rule, named after Gabriel Cramer ( ). Consider the system of 2 equations We define the following determinants: *********************************************************************************** Now, for a system of 3 equations we have the following:

184 Section Cramer s Rule If a system of linear equations in variables has a coefficient matrix with a nonzero determinant, the solution of the system is If the determinant of the coefficient matrix is zero (ie. ), the system has either no solution or infinitely many solutions. In such a case, Cramer s Rule does not apply, and another technique should be used to solve the system. Example 1 Use Cramer s Rule to solve the system of linear equations.

185 182 Section 8.5 Example 2 Use Cramer s Rule to solve the system of linear equations. Hint: Use the following information to save time on this problem.

186 Section Another application of determinants is finding the area of a triangle. Area of a Triangle The area of a triangle with vertices,, and is where the appropriate sign should be chosen to yield a positive area. Example 3 Find the area of the triangle.

187 184 Section Sequences and Series Definition of Sequence An infinite sequence is a function whose domain is the set of positive integers. The function values are the terms of the sequence. If the domain of the function consists of the first only, the sequence is a finite sequence. positive integers Examples: (finite sequence) * (infinite sequence) *This last sequence is known as the Fibonacci sequence. Note: On occasion it is convenient to begin subscripting a sequence with 0 instead of 1 so that the terms of the sequence become When this is the case, the domain includes 0. Example 1 Write the first four terms of the sequence. (Assume that begins with 1.) (a) (b)

188 Example 2 Write an expression for the apparent th term of the sequence. (Assume that begins with 1) (a) Section (b) (c)

189 186 Section 9.1 A sequence can be defined recursively by giving one or more of the first few terms and a rule showing how to obtain the next term from the previous term(s). Example 3 Find the first five terms of the sequence defined recursively. Definition of Factorial If is a positive integer, factorial is defined as As a special case, zero factorial is defined as

190 Section Example 4 Write the first five terms of the sequence. (Assume that begins with 0.) Note, based on the definition of factorial: Example 5 Simplify the factorial expression.

191 188 Section 9.1 The sum of the first Summation Notation (or Sigma Notation) terms of a sequence is represented by where is called the index of summation, the lower limit of summation. is the upper limit of summation, and in this case 1 is Examples: Note that the lower limit of a summation does not have to be 1. Also note that the index of summation does not have to be the letter. Example 6 Find each sum.

192 Section Example 7 Use sigma notation to write the sum Note: The representation of a sum using sigma notation is not unique. Variations in the upper and lower limits of summation can produce quite different-looking summation notations for the same sum. Example 8 Find two representations for the following sum (a) Use 1 as the lower limit of summation. (b) Use 0 as the lower limit of summation.

193 190 Section 9.1 Definition of Series Consider the infinite sequence 1. The sum of the first terms of the sequence is called a finite series (or the nth partial sum of the sequence) and is denoted by 2. The sum of all the terms of the infinite sequence is called an infinite series and is denoted by Example 9 Use a calculator to find the sum of the following finite series. Based on your answer in Example 7, can you guess the following sum of the infinite series?

194 Section Arithmetic Sequences and Partial Sums Consider the sequence: 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, Compute the differences of consecutive terms: Each term (except the first term) is found by adding the constant to the preceding term. An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of the form where there is a common difference between consecutive terms. The th term of an Arithmetic Sequence Example 1 Write the first five terms of the arithmetic sequence with and. Then find a formula for the th term of the sequence.

195 192 Section 9.2 Example 2 Find the 100 th term of an arithmetic sequence with and. Example 3 Write the first five terms of the arithmetic sequence defined recursively: Then find the common difference and write the th term of the sequence as a function of.

196 Section The Sum of a Finite Arithmetic Sequence (nth partial sum) Let represent the sum of the first terms of an arithmetic sequence. Then, Note: This formula only works for arithmetic sequences! Historical Note: An elementary school teacher of a young Carl Friedrich Gauss ( ) asked him to add all the integers from 1 to 100. When Gauss returned with the correct answer after only a few moments, the teacher could only look at him in astounded silence. This is what it is speculated that Gauss did:

197 194 Section 9.2 Example 4 Find the 10 th partial sum of the arithmetic sequence Example 5 Find the partial sum.

198 Section Example 6 Determine the seating capacity of a movie theater with 36 rows of seats if there are 15 seats in the first row, 18 seats in the second row, 21 seats in the third row, and so on.

199 196 Section Geometric Sequences and Series Consider the sequence: 2,,,,, Compute the ratios of consecutive terms: Each term (except the first term) is found by multiplying the preceding term by the constant. A geometric sequence is a sequence of the form where there is a common ratio between consecutive terms. The th term of a Geometric Sequence

200 Section Example 1 Write the first five terms of a geometric sequence with and. Then find a formula for the th term of the sequence. Example 2 Write the first five terms of the geometric sequence. Determine the common ratio and write the th term of the sequence as a function of.

201 198 Section 9.3 Example 3 Find the 6 th term of a geometric sequence if and. Assume that the terms of the sequence are positive. Method #1 (Brute Force) Method #2 (Algebraically)

202 Section The Sum of a Finite Geometric Sequence ( th Partial Sum) Let represent the sum of the first terms of a geometric sequence. Then for, Note: This formula only works for finite geometric sequences! Example 4 Find the sum of each finite geometric sequence.

203 200 Section 9.3 Let sequence. The Sum of an Infinite Geometric Series represent the sum of all the terms of an infinite geometric Then for, *Note: If, the series does not have a sum. Note: This formula only works for infinite geometric sequences! Example 5 Find the sum of each infinite geometric series.

204 Section Recall, the balance in an account after years due to a principal invested at an annual interest rate (in decimal form) compounded times per year is: If a deposit is compounded monthly, then, so the balance in the account after months ( years) is given by Example 6 A deposit of $50 is made at the beginning of each month* in an account that pays 8%, compounded monthly. The balance in the account at the end of 4 years (or 48 months) is Find. *This type of savings plan is called an increasing annuity.

205 202 Section Mathematical Induction The Principle of Mathematical Induction If a statement involving the positive integer has the following two properties: 1. The statement is true for, and 2. If the statement is true for, then it is true for then the statement is true for all positive integers. How to Prove a Statement using Mathematical Induction 1. Base Step: Show the statement is true for. 2. Induction Step: Assume the statement is true for some integer. Show that this implies the statement is true for the next integer. Example 1 Use induction the prove that the following formula is true for every positive integer. Base Step: Induction Step:

207 204 Section 9.4 Example 3 Use induction the prove that the following formula is true for every positive integer. Base Step: Induction Step:

208 Section The Binomial Theorem In this section, we learn how to expand binomials of the form. Observe: Notes: 1) In each expansion there are terms. 2) In each expansion, and have symmetrical roles. The powers of by in successive terms, whereas the powers of 3) The sum of the powers of each terms is. by. 4) The coefficients increase and then decrease in a symmetrical pattern as represented by illustrated below: *Each entry (other than the 1 s) is the sum of the closest pair of numbers in the line above it. If is any positive number, then The Binomial Theorem where the coefficients, called binomial coefficients, are defined by and may either be found using the nth row of Pascal s Triangle or computed on a scientific calculator using the feature.

209 206 Section 9.5 Note: The Binomial Theorem may be expressed using sigma notation. Also, the symbol place of to denote binomial coefficients. is often used in Hence, the following is an alternative form of the Binomial Theorem: The Binomial Theorem (using Sigma Notation) Example 1 Use the Binomial Theorem to expand and simplify the expression (a) (b)

210 Example 2 Use the Binomial Theorem to expand the complex number. Simplify your result. Section

211 208 Section Introduction to Conics: Parabolas A conic section (or conic) is the intersection of a plane and a double-napped cone. There are 4 basic types: Geometric properties of conics were discovered during the classical Greek period (600 to 300 B.C.) When the plane passes through the vertex, the resulting figure is a degenerate conic. The result is either a point, line or two intersecting lines. General Equation of Conics For example, a circle is defined as the collection (locus) of all points fixed point. that are equidistant from a which is equivalent to

212 Section We have already discussed quadratic functions whose graphs are parabolas that open up or down. They can be written in the form: where is the vertex. We now discuss parabolas in a more general sense, where they may open up, down, left or right. Definition of Parabola A parabola is the set (locus) of all points in a plane equidistant from a fixed line (called the directrix) and a fixed point (called the focus) that is not on line. The vertex and axis (of symmetry) are defined as before. Sketch of a parabola using the definition:

213 210 Section 10.2 Activity Let s derive the equation of a parabola (using the definition)! For simplicity, we will derive the equation of a parabola with: Vertex, Focus, Directrix, Directrix 1. The distance from to, denoted, is found using the distance formula: 2. The distance from to the directrix is. 3. By definition of a parabola, the distances found in steps (1) and (2) are equal. Thus, 4. Now solve for (in terms of and ). Simplify your answer by FOILing.

Any light or sound that starts at one focus of an ellipse will be reflected through the other. Some examples: Whispering galleries (Statuary Hall in Washington D.C. originally chamber of House of Reps) Lithotripsy kidney stone at one focus is pulverized by shock waves originating at the other focus.

227 224 Section Parametric Equations Consider the following path followed by a little ant on the ground who discovers a piece of cake and then proceeds to bring a piece back to the ant hill: Ant Hill Piece of Cake The ant follows the parabolic path, (Rectangular Equation) However, this equation does not tell the whole story. Although it does tell you where the ant has been, it doesn t tell you when the ant was at a given point on the path. To determine this time, we can introduce a third variable, called a parameter. It is possible to write both and as functions of to obtain the parametric equations ill in the table to find the ant s position at time (in minutes). 4 6 How long does it take the ant to reach the piece of cake from his starting point? How long does it take the ant to travel from the piece of cake to the ant hill?

228 Section If and are continuous functions of on an interval, the set of ordered pairs is a plane curve. The equations and are parametric equations for, and is the parameter. Plotting the points in the order of increasing values of traces the curve in a specific direction. This is called the orientation of the curve. Example 1 Consider the parametric equations a) Sketch the curve represented by the parametric equations (indicate the orientation of the curve) b) Eliminate the parameter and write the corresponding rectangular equation whose graph represents the curve. Hint: Solve for in one equation. Then substitute in other equation & simplify. c) Adjust the domain of the resulting rectangular equation, if necessary.

229 226 Section 10.6 The next example illustrates one of the most useful applications of parametric equations. If we let the parameter be the angle, we may describe and graph circular and elliptical curves with ease. To eliminate the parameter in equations involving trigonometric functions, try using the identity Example 2 Consider the parametric equations Fill in the table of values.
