is the expanded form. x2 + 2x + 1
Solving inequalitiesAs with equalities, you may add or subtract anything
from both sides. You may multiply or divide both sides bya positive number. If you multiply or divide by a negativenumber, you must change the direction of the inequality(multiplying 5>3 by -1 gives -5 < -3). If you don’t know ifa number is positive or negative, don’t multiply or divideby it.

To solve problems like , use the key-number method:x < 1x
Rewrite with 0 on the right. Factor the f(x) on the left.f(x) < 0, f(x) > 0, f(x) ≤ 0, or f(x) ≥ 0.
Find key numbers x where f (x) = 0 or f (x) is undefined. On the key intervals before, between, and after key
numbers, f (x) is either > 0 or < 0. To find out which,evaluate f (x) at some point inside the interval. Youdon’t have to find the value, just the sign.

Functions DEFINITION. For sets A and B, a function from A to B
assigns a value in B to each x in A. The domain of ff(x) is A; the range of f is the set of all possible values . f(x)
f (x) = x2 is a function from real numbers to realnumbers.domain = since x2 is defined for all numbers.(−∞, ∞)range = since x2 can never be negative. [0, ∞)
NOTATION. Sometimes, instead of writing f (x) = x2, we define a function by writing y = x2.
Thus y is the value of the function. Since it depends on x,y is the dependent variable. Since x ranges freely overthe domain, it is the independent variable.
A function may assign only one value to each x. Thus y = is not a function. ± xOf f and g, which are functions? (f isn’t, g is)
DEFINITION. f increases on an interval if the value f (x) increases as xmoves from left to right in the interval. f decreases if f (x) decreases as x goes left to right. c is a turning point of f if f increases on one side of cand decreases on the other. f (a) = c is a maximum value iff c is ! all other values. f (a) = c is a minimum value iff c is � all other values.

The value f (x) = the height = the vertical position of apoint on the graph. Changing f (x) changes the verticalposition of the graph. Adding 2 raises the graph 2 units. Negating f (x) reflects the graph vertically across the x-axis.

HORIZONTAL MOVES
x = the x-axis position. Changing x, changes thehorizontal position of the coordinate system. Replacing xby x+2 shifts the coordinate system 2 units to the right.
Moving the coordinate system to the right equals movingthe graph to the left. Stated in terms of the graph ratherthan the coordinate system, changing x changes theposition of the graph in the opposite direction.
Replacing x by x+2 shifts the graph left 2 units. Replacing x by x−2 shifts the graph right 2 units. Replacing x by -x reflects the graph horizontally
across the y-axis.

Math 140 Lecture 8 DEFINITION. A quadratic function is a degree-2 polynomial
with a = 0. y = ax2 + bx + cThe graph is a parabola.
If a > 0, the horns point up. If a < 0, the horns point down. If |a| > 1, the parabola is narrower than y = x2. If |a| < 1, the parabola is wider than y = x2.
Find the roots by factoring or using the quadratic formula:
. No roots if .−b ± b2 − 4ac2a b2 − 4ac < 0
COMPLETING THE SQUARE THEOREM. Every quadraticfunction may be written in the form: y = a(x − x0)2 + y0where (x0, y0) is the vertex (nose) of the parabola.
Proof. Factor the a out of the ax2+bx part of ax2+bx+c .Complete the square. Anything which is added mustalso be subtracted to preserve equality.

Graphing polynomials A polynomial graph is smooth: no breaks, no sharp corners.For an expanded polynomial with axn the termaxn + ... + c
of highest degree: axn is the leading term, a is the leading coefficient, and n is the degree. The y-interceptis the constant term c.
, y = −3x4 + x2 − 5leading term = -3x4, leading coeff.= -3, degree= 4, constant term = -5.

leading term = -x3, leading coeff. = -1, degree = 3, constant term = 0.

43 3y= -x
For large x (near +5), graph looks like the leading term axn.As x goes to 5, y goes to +5 if a > 0, to -5 if a < 0. Graphs of odd degree go to +5 in one direction, -5 inthe other, like y = x3, y = -x3. Graphs of even degree either go to +5 in bothdirections or to -5 in both directions, like y = x2, y = -x2.
Use the factored form to get the roots and their degrees(the degree of a root is the exponent of its factor). At roots of degree 1, the graph crosses x-axis like y = x or y = -x.At roots of odd degree n>1, the graph crosses the x-axis like y = x3
or y = -x3.At roots of even degree, the graph touches but doesn’t cross thex-axis, like y = x2 or y = -x2.
To get the leading coefficient and degree of a factored polynomial,replace each factor by its leading term.
To get the constant term (y-intercept), set x = 0.When graphing, find the x and y-intercepts and also calculate a key
value in each of the key intervals before, after, and between roots.

Rational functions and their graphsDEFINTION. A rational function is a ratio of two
polynomials. It is reduced if the top and bottom have nocommon factors.
Like polynomials, rational functions have smooth graphs.

DEFINITION. For rational functions, the leading term is thesimplified ratio of the leading terms of the top andbottom.
Recall, to get the leading term of a factored polynomial,replace each factor to its leading term and then simplify.
CRational functions:
Leading terms:
Hor. asymptote:
For a reduced rational function: x-intercepts (roots) occur where the top is 0.
If the root has degree n, the x-intercept looks like that of y = xn or y= -xn.
If the bottom is 0 at a, then x=a is a vertical asymptote.If the factor has degree n, the vertical asymptote looks like that of y=1/xn or y = �1/xn.
As x�, the graph resembles the graph of the leading term which is either a constant b or of the forma/xn or axn. ��� If a constant b, then y = b is a horizontal asymptote. ��� If it is a/xn, then y = 0 is a horizontal asymptote. ��� If it is axn, there is no horizontal asymptote.
Graph. On the graph mark the x and y-intercepts. Markthe vertical and horizontal asymptotes with theirequations ( y = a or x = a ).
a is a key number if f (a) is 0 or undefined. The keyintervals lie before, between and after the key numbers.Calculate a “key value” from each key interval.

Exponential functions measure the size of a growing population, theamount of money in a compound interest account, the number ofatoms left after radioactive decay, etc. N(t) = the amount at time t.
BASE-e FORM LEMMA. Every exponential function can bewritten in the form
. N(t) = N0ekt
N0 = N(0) is the initial amount. k, the coefficient of t, is the growth constant. If k > 0, N(t) measures exponential growth. If k < 0, N(t) measures exponential decay.
FACT: Every a > 0 is a power of e: . a = e ln a
Example: 2 = .e ln 2
Write the bug population in base-e form.N(t) = 10 ⋅ 2 t
N(t) = 10 ⋅ 2 t = 10 ⋅ (e ln 2)t = 10 ⋅ e [ln(2)] t
Hence, in base-e form, . N(t) = 10e [ln 2] t
Thus N0 = 10, the initial amount and k = ln(2), the natural log of the initial base. You put $4,000 in an account at 5% interest
compounded annually. Write the amount N(t) of moneyin the account after t years in base-e form.Number of years Amount N(t) in account

Hence N(t) = 4000(1.05) t

Initially a sample has 8 lbs of a radioactive substancewith a half-life of 5 days, i.e., half decays after 5 days.How many lbs remain after 3 days?

N(t) = N0ekt

Math 140 Lecture 15 Angles, arcs, and radiansRECALL. A circle of radius r has circumference 2Sr. S�≈ 3.14. Unit circle circumference = 2Sr = 2S1 = 2S.
T and Z are the Greek letters “theta” and “omega”.
DEFINITION. Suppose the vertex of an angle is at the centerof a circle of radius r. Let s be the length of the arc theangle intercepts on the circle. Then
T�= s/r is the radian measure of the angle. For unit circles, the radius r = 1 and radian measure equals arc length: T = s.
When T is in radians, we can solve T = s/r for arclength: s = Tr
CFind the length of a 30o arc on a circle of radius 12inches. First convert to radians. By the above 30o

CFind the radian measure of an angle which intercepts a5 inch arc on a circle of radius 12 inches.

Speed DEFINITION. If an object travels a distance d in time t, its
linear speed is d/t. If an object rotates through an angle T in time t, itsrotational speed is Z = T/t.
THEOREM. If a point rotates around a circle of radius rwith rotational speed Z� then its linear speed is Zr.
Proof. If a point rotates through an angle T on a circle ofradius r in time t, then Z�=�T/t and the distance d ittravels = the length of the arc it traces = Tr . �Wits linearspeed = d/t = Tr/t = (T/t)r = Zr .
CA point revolves around a circle of radius 3 feet at 10revolutions per minute.
�D� What is its rotational speed (in radians)? 1 revolution = 2S radians, WZ = 10 revs/min = 10�2S radians/min. = 20S radians/min.
�E� What is its linear speed? Its linear speed = Z r = (20S rad/min)� (3 feet) = 60S feet/min.
Radians are dimensionless; you may delete dimensionless units.

hypotenuse is a radus of length 1.π/6 = 30o: This is a 30o− 60o right triangle. Thus the small

The trig functions were defined on the unit circle wherethe hypotenuse of the right triangle had length 1. For theangle pictured, sin T�= y. Any other right triangle withan angle T is similar to this unit-circle triangle. Hencethe ratios of the corresponding sides are equal. Thus sin T = y = y/1 = a/c = side opposite/hypotenuse.
THEOREM. For any right triangle with an acute angle T:sin T = opposite/hypotenuse* cos T = adjacent/hypotenuse tan T = opposite/adjacent
* More precisely, “length of the side opposite/length of thehypotenuse”. We’ll abbreviate this to just: opp/hyp.

DEFINITION. For any function f: f is even iff f (-x) = f (x). f is odd iff f (-x) = - f (x).
Graphically, the left half (the half plane left of the y-axis) of aneven function is of the right half across the y-axis. Theleft half of an odd function is the negative of thisreflection.
f(x) = x2 is even since f (-x) = (-x) 2 = x

Instead of thinking of sin θ as a function of an angle θ, wecan think of it as a function sin(t) of a real variable t.
MINUS THEOREM. sin(-t) = -sin(t), cos(-t) = cos(t), tan(-t) =-tan(t). Thus cos(t) is even; sin(t) and tan(t) are odd functions.

The two simplest solutions: θ = π/6, and θ = π-π/6 = 5π/6.Since sin(θ) has period 2π, adding a multiple of 2π to
either of these also produces a solution. The general solution consists of the two sets θ = π/6 + 2πn or θ = 5π/6 + 2πn for n an integer.
Here we use x for the angle instead of θ.cos x = 12
The two simplest solutions are x = π/3 and x = -π/3. The general solution is

ΛTHEOREM. The area of a triangle with sides a and b andincluded angle θ is ½absin(θ).
PROOF. Case θ is acute.
To find the area, we need to know the height h. sin θ = h
ah = a sin θ
Area = 12hb = 1
2(a sin θ)b = 12ab sin θ
Case θ is obtuse.Recall sin(π−θ) = sin θ.
sin(π − θ) =ha
h = a sin(π − θ) =a sin θ
Area (same answer)= 12hb = 1
2(a sin θ)b = 12ab sin θ

Math 140 Lecture 26CONVENTION. Assume side a is opposite angle A, side b is
opposite angle B and side c is opposite angle C. SINE LAWS. In any triangle, the ratio of one angle’s sine and
its opposite side equals the ratio of any other angle’ssine and opposite side.
Although written as one, there are 3 equations. Each involves twosides and two angles.
orsin Aa = sin B
b = sin Cc
asin A
= bsin B
= csin C
PROOF. Recall that the area of a triangle is half the productof any two sides times the sine of the included angle.
Thus the area of the triangle can be written three ways: 1
2bc sin A = 12ac sin B = 1
2ab sin Cmultiply by 2
bc sin A = ac sin B = ab sin Cdivide by abc
sin Aa = sin B
b = sin Cc
COSINE LAWS. For any two sides of a triangle, the sum oftheir squares minus twice their product times the cos ofthe included angle equals the square of the third side.
Each involves three sides and one angle. a2 = b2 + c2 − 2bc cos A
b2 = a2 + c2 − 2ac cos B
c2 = a2 + b2 − 2ab cos C
PROOF. We prove the last equality for the case C acute.

c2 = b2 − 2b(a cos C) + a2cos2C + a2sin2C c2 = b2 − 2ab cos C + a2(cos2C + sin2C)

STRAIGHT ANGLE SUM FACT. The sum of a triangle’s 3 anglesis a straight angle.
ςA +ςB +ςC = 180o = πIf you know two angles, you can solve for the third.
Solving for C gives ςC = 180o − (ςA +ςB).
Today’s problems involve 4 quantities; each is a side oran angle whose measure is given or wanted. Usually --
For 2 sides and 2 angles: use the sine law involving the2 sides (if necessary, get the third angle with theStraight Angle Sum Theorem). For 3 sides and 1 angle: use the cosine law involvingthe angle.

Math 140 Lecture 27A triangle is determined uniquely up to congruence (1) by two sides and an included angle and (2) by two angles and an included side.
However, given two sides and a nonincluded angle, theremay be 0, 1, or 2 triangles.

Suppose two sides and a nonincluded angle are known. When solving for the third side using a cosine law, you
may get an answer of the form . Then there is: s ± tno solution if t <0 or both , s ± t < 0two solutions if t >0 and both , s ± t > 0one solution otherwise.
When solving for a second angle using a sine law, youmay get an answer of the form θ = sin-1t, t > 0. There is: no solution if t >1, two solutions if t <1 and the larger of the two sides isadjacent to the given angle (if one angle is θ, the other π-θ), one solution otherwise.
In a triangle, sin A = ½. What are the possible angles, indegrees, for A? One is A=30o, the other is 180−30=150o.
Is there a triangle in which a = 2, b = 3, and ςA = 60o ? Such a triangle exists iff the third side c exists. Solving for c. a2 = b2 + c2 − 2bc cos A4 = 9 + c2 − 2(3)c cos 60o
0 = c2 − 2(3)12c + 5
c2 − 3c + 5 = 0
c =3± 32−4(1)(5)
2(1) = 3± −112 = undefined
Since c is undefined, the answer is no.Try doing this and the next problem by drawing accurate pictures.
a = 2, b = 2, ς A = 30o. Find ςC if ςB is acute. First find ςB using the sin law, then find ςC.
Thus one answer issin Bb = sin A
a , sin B = ba sin A.
= 30o. TheB = sin−1(ba sin A) = sin−1(2
2 sin 30o) = sin−1 12
other answer is 180o−30o = 150o. The acute angle is 30o.
ςC = 180o−(ςA +ςB) = 180o
−(30o +30o) = 120o

DEFINITION. An ellipse is the set of all points such that thesum of the distances to two focus points is someconstant. The major axis goes from a vertex at one endof the ellipse through the two foci to the vertex at theopposite end. The minor axis is a perpendicular bisectorof the major axis.
The vertices are the two points farthest apart. The majorradius a is half the major axis length; the minor radiusb is half the minor axis length; the focal radius is halfthe distance between the foci.
A light ray emitted from one focus point is reflected to theopposite focus point. Planetary orbits are ellipses.

DEFINITION. A hyperbola is the set of all points such thatthe difference of the distances to two focus (or focal)points is some constant. The focal axis through the twofoci intersects the hyperbola at its two vertices. Thetransverse axis is the segment between the vertices, theconjugate axis is a perpendicular bisector. The ends ofthe axes are the midpoints of a box whose diagonals areasymptotes. The box corners and the foci areequidistant from the center of the box. To get the foci,draw an arc around the box center from the box cornerto the focal axis.
The path of a stone thrown upward (in a vertical gravitationalfield) is a parabola. The path of an orbiting planet orcomet is an ellipse with the sun at one focus. The pathof a comet passing through the solar system is one pieceof a hyperbola with the sun at one focal point.
