Functions & Graphs (1.2) What is a function? Review Domain & Range Boundedness Open & Closed Intervals Distance from a point to a line
2
Even & Odd Functions... Ex: Identify the domain, range, (use interval notation) and whether the function is odd or even or neither. y = x 2 y = √(1-x 2 ) y = √x y = 1/x y = 2x/(x-1)
3
Functions Defined in Pieces While some functions are defined by single formulas, others are defined by applying different formulas to different parts of their domain. These are called piecewise functions.
4
Examples: -x ; x < 0 y = x 2 ; 0 < x < 1 1 ; x > 1 -x ; 0 < x < 1 y = 2x – 2 ; 1< x < 2
5
The Absolute Value Function The absolute value function is defined piecewise:

Composite Functions

Examples f(x) = x 2 + 1g(x) = x- 7 Find: g(f(2)) f(g(2)) g(g(3)) f(f(x)) g(f(x)) g(g(x))

Slide 1- 11 Exponential Growth Exponential Decay Applications The Number e …and why Exponential functions model many growth patterns. What you’ll learn about…
12
Slide 1- 12 Exponential Function The domain of f(x) = a x is (-∞, ∞) and the range is (0, ∞). Compound interest investment and population growth are examples of exponential growth.

Graphing Exponential Functions Graph y = 2 x ◦ x-intercept:_______ ◦ y -intercept:_______ ◦ Domain:_______ ◦ Range: _______ ◦ Type: _______ Slide 1- 16 Graph y = 2 -x x-intercept:_______ y -intercept:_______ Domain:_______ Range: _______ Type: _______
17
Slide 1- 17 Rules for Exponents See page 21 to review these! Half-life Exponential functions can also model phenomena that produce decrease over time, such as happens with radioactive decay. The half-life of a radioactive substance is the amount of time it takes for half of the substance to change from its original radioactive state to a non-radioactive state by emitting energy in the form of radiation.
18
Use the Law of Exponents to expand or condense 1. a x a y 2. (a x ) y 3. a x b x 4. (a/b) y Slide 1- 18

Rewrite the exponential expression to have the indicated base (9) 2x, base 3 (1/8) 2x, base 2 Slide 1- 20 Applications The Population of Knoxville is 500,000 and is increasing at the rate of 3.75% annually. Approximately when will the population reach 1 million? Suppose the half-life of a certain radioactive substance is 20 days and that there are 5 g present initially. When will there only be 1 g of the substance left?

Interest Problems Simple Interest Formula Compound Interest Formula Interest compounded continuously ◦ How much would you get if P = $1, r = 100% and the principal were compounded continuously (every second of each day for 365 days) for one year? Slide 1- 21

1.4 Parametric Equations
32
Slide 1- 32 Relations Lines and Other Curves What you’ll learn about… …and why Parametric equations can be used to obtain graphs of relations and functions.
33
Slide 1- 33 Relations A relation is a set of ordered pairs (x, y) of real numbers. The graph of a relation is the set of points in a plane that correspond to the ordered pairs of the relation. If x and y are functions of a third variable t, called a parameter, then the equations that define x and y are parametric equations.
34
Slide 1- 34 Parametric Curve, Parametric Equations Lines, line segments and many other curves can be defined parametrically.
35
General parametric equations involving angular measure: x = v 0 cos θ t and y = -16t 2 + v 0 sin θ t + s Ex. 1: Consider the path followed by an object that is propelled into the air as an angle of 45 degrees with an initial velocity of 48 ft/sec. The object will follow a parabolic path. Write a Cartesian equation and a set of parametric equations to model this example. Slide 1- 35
36
Graph each set of parametric equations, then find the Cartesian equation relating the variables (eliminate the parameter): x = 2t + 1 y = 2 – t Cartesian Equation: Slide 1- 36 t012 x y
37
Slide 1- 37 x = r 2 – 3r + 1 y = r + 1 Cartesian Equation: r x y
38
x = sin r y = cos r Cartesian Equation: Slide 1- 38 r x y
39
x = t 3 y = t 2 /2 Slide 1- 39 t x y
