5. Problem 4 (24) Use the distance formula to find the distance between the pair of points: (7, -1); (5, -7). Let P 1 = (7, -1) & P 2 = (5, -7). Then, d(P 1, P 2 ) = [(x 1 - x 2 ) 2 + (y 1 - y 2 ) 2 ] 1/2 = [(7 - 5) 2 + (-1 - (-7)) 2 ] 1/2 = [4 + 36 ] 1/2 = [40] 1/2 = (4 ) 1/2 (10 ) 1/2 = 2 (10 ) 1/2 =

7. Rearrange to y = (- 3/4)x + (14/4) = - (3/4)x + (7/2). Slope: m = - (3/4). Problem 6 (20) Find the slope of the line: 3x + 4y = 14.

8. Problem 7 (40) Solve the problem: The price p and the quantity x sold of a certain product obey the demand equation: p = - (1/5) x + 100, 0 < x < 500. What is the revenue when 200 units are sold? Recall revenue, R, is price times quantity or R = px. Thus, the equation to evaluate for x = 200 is R = px = [- (1/5) x + 100] x = [- (1/5) 200 + 100]200 = $12000.

9. Rearrange to y = (- x - 9)/5 = - (1/5)x - 9/5. This a straight line of slope m = - 1/5 and y-axis intercept b = - 9/5. Problem 8 (72) Graph the equation and select the matching graph: - x = 5y + 9.

10. Problem 9 (40) List the intercepts for the equation: x 2 – 2x – 3 = 0. Note the factoring: x 2 – 2x – 3 = (x – 3)(x + 1). The y-axis intercept has y-coordinate that is value of the function when x = 0. This is just – 3. So intercept point is at (0, – 3). Any x-axis intercept has x-coordinate such that x 2 – 2x – 3 = (x – 3)(x + 1) = 0 => x = 3 or – 1. Thus, the x-axis intercepts are at (3, 0) and (– 1, 0).

11. Problem 10 (48) Determine if the given function is even or odd with x-axis or y-axis symmetry: f(x) = 4x 2 + x 4. f(-x) = 4(-x) 2 + (-x) 4 = 4x 2 + x 4 = f(x) Therefore, f is an even function and has y-axis symmetry.

12. Move 3 to left, square & move x 2 to left to spot circle form: x 2 + (y –3) 2 = 3 2. Thus, y is lower-half, r = 3, circle with center shifted to ( h, k ) = (0, 3). Problem 11 (60) Graph the equation and select the matching graph: y =. The y-axis intercept is at y(0) = 0.

15. Problem 14 (76) Write an equation for the ellipse with foci at (-2, 1) and (4, 1); major axis length of 10. Note: Major axis = 2 a = 10 means a = 5. Also, foci are on line y = 1, which is parallel to x -axis, at distance 2 c = |4-(-2)| = 6. So c = 3. Thus, c 2 = a 2 - b 2 => b 2 = a 2 - c 2 = 5 2 - 3 2 = 16 => b = 4. Center is at midpoint between foci: ( h, k ) = (1, 1). (x –h) 2 + (y –k) 2 = 1 becomes answer D), _ a 2 b 2 (x –1) 2 + (y –1) 2 = 1. See next slide for graph. _ 25 16

Finally, note image is like a rotated & shifted parabola: x = y 2 +1. x - 1 0 f(1) = 0, f(2) = 1, f(5) = 2.

18. Eliminate A), C), and D), choices by finding f(2) or is not on graph. For B): f(x) = |x +2| means when x + 2 > 0, f(x) = |x +2| = x +2, which is a line starting at (-2, 0) with m = 1 as shown in right part. Problem 16 (40) Select the matching function to the graph. When x +2 < 0, f(x) = |x +2| = -(x +2) which is a line starting at (-2, 0) with m = -1 as shown in graph’s left part. Thus, function is: f(x) = |x +2|. x + 2 0
