3. WHY CALCULUS?

8. Brightspace: brightspace.ccc.edu
What is it?
It replaces Blackboard. Adios Blackboard!
How do I log in?
With my ccc credentials (login and password)
DO it now! (on your tablet/phone…)
Set up your profile to get my messages.
Look around the contents.

9. Syllabus Let’s go over it in detail. Please pay attention.
I will be giving you a short quiz next time about its contents!

10. A couple more things…

11. Lunch (!)
I realize our class meets during a common time for lunch, however, please refrain from bringing a full meal to class!
If you must eat, please choose a discreet -(ie: no smells and noises)- snack only.

12. About you
At the end of today’s session: turn in the “Who Am I” handout I gave you.
Fill in as much as is comfortable for you on it. All info will be appreciated and will help to get to know you better.
Let’s go around and mention our Name and Superpower 

13. Now let’s review a few things…

14. Several review links are posted on the class website!

15. Distance Formula Answer: 6.71
Example: Find distance between (-1,4) and (-4,-2).
Answer:

16. Midpoint Formula Answer: (-4,3)
Example: Find the midpoint from P1(-5,5) to P2(-3,1).
Answer: (-4,3)

17. Example: Circle Equations
Equations in two variables –
Example: Circle Equations x y
(h, k) r
(x, y)
The standard form of an equation of a circle with radius r and center (h, k) is:
The Unit Circle equation is:

19. Definition of a Function

22. It’s helpful to think of a function as a machine:
The input is the independent variable,
The output is the dependent variable.

23. Four Ways to Represent a Function
verbally (by a description in words)
numerically (by a table of values)
visually (by a graph)
algebraically (by an explicit formula)

24. Verbally (with words) or With Diagrams:

25. Numerically: using Tables -

26. Visually: using Graphs -

27. Algebraically: using Formulas – There are several Categories of Functions:

28. The most common method for visualizing a function is its graph
The most common method for visualizing a function is its graph. If f is a function with domain D, then its graph is the set of ordered pairs:
{(x, f (x)) | x  D}

29. Theorem: Vertical Line Test
A set of points in the xy - plane is the graph of a function if and only if a vertical line intersects the graph in at most one point.

33. Piecewise-defined Functions:
Example:
Example:

34. A common Piecewise Defined Function: Absolute value function: f (x) = |x|
x if x  0
f(x) = |x| =
–x if x < 0

35. Symmetry

36. Odd and Even Functions
If a function f satisfies f (–x) = f (x) for every number x in its domain, then f is called an even function.
The graph of an even function is
symmetric with respect to the y-axis
If f satisfies f (–x) = –f (x) for every number x in its domain, then f is called an odd function.
The graph of an odd function is symmetric
about the origin
An even function

39. Increasing and Decreasing Functions

40. Where is the function increasing?

41. Where is the function decreasing?

42. Where is the function constant?

44. Average rate of change of a Function

45. From 0 to 1

46. Local Maxima and Minima

47. Local Min

48. Average rate of change of a Function

49. From 0 to 1
