Graphing Points, Lines, and Elementary Functions

Nonlinear Funtions

- A non-linear function is not a linear function.

- A quadratic function is

f (x) = ax 2 + bx + c , where a, b, c if a≠ 0 .

-Exponential function (see video)

Equations of Lines

We need to study the problem to have a better understanding of what we are being asked. We need to decide how to solve it. Then it is important to being to solve it. Then reflect and look back at the solution.

What Theorem needs to be used.

1. The point-slope form is will be used when we are given a point (x1, y1) and a slope m. Then the numbers are plugged into the formula:

y – y1 = m(x – x1)

2. The slope-intercept form is used where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y=mx+b

3 For the two-point form of the equation of a line we would use the formula

y – y1 = m(x – x1)

The slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line. Point-slope is the form used most often when finding the equation of a line.

Functions:

-A linear function is a straight-line graph.

Slope

What is the slope? A real world example is walking up or down a flight of stairs.

The slope of a line defines the steepness of the line. It allows us to know if the line is rising or falling.

Slope = Rise/Run

The Distance Formula

We can use this formula to determine the distance between the two points (4,5) and (1,2).

The Cartesian Coordinate Plane

Quadrant I both coordinates are positive.

Quadrant II first coordinate is negative and second coordinate is positive.

Quadrant III both coordinates are negative.

Quadrant IV first coordinate is positive and second coordinate is negative.

Coordinate plane: plot ordered pairs

Connection between Algebra and Geometry

Math is integrated into many different areas such as geometry, probability, and algebra. They will continue to keep building on one another.

Circles

Picture a circle and you are standing in the center of it. If you were to run from the center to the outside edge in a straight line that distance is the radius.

Using the circle analogy again, if you were to run in a straight line, starting on one side through the center of the circle and end on the other side, this would be the diameter.

If you were to run in a perfect circle, the distance that you covered would be the circumference of that circle.

Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

Parallel lines are parallel if they are always the same distance apart and will never meet. Therefore, their slopes are always the same.

Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle (90°).

Variables, Algebraic Expressions, and Connections with Geometry

Describing and Visualizing Functions

We can solve equations by using visual functions such as "What's my rule, function tables, arrow diagrams, machines, and graphs."

Example as graphs

Example of the Fibonacci sequence and the doubling function

Example Functions as arrow diagrams
Example for Function as tables

A math function table is a table used to plot possible outcomes.

Example Functions as formulas
Defining and Visualizing Functions

The definition of function requires that a single value y be assigned to each x-value in the domain.

Example,

We are at the gas station, filling the vehicle with gas which is priced at $3.95 per gallon. "How much does 15 gallons cost?"

The answer is $59.25. This is the only cost of the gas because there is only one value for y for each x.

Machines were invented to make these calucations fast and error free for us.

Solving Equations

An equation is a mathematical expression, stating that two algebraic expressions have the same value.

Algebraic Expressions

Algebraic expression is a representation that involves variables, numbers, and operations symbols.

Variables

Lets start with algebraic reasoning. Here are some topics we will cover.

• What are variables?

• How to form algebraic expressions involving variables, numbers, and operation symbols?

• What is the definition and visualization of functions?

Variables used in algebra are letters such as x, y, f, or any letter to represent unknown numbers.

Variables express formulas

Commonly used formulas

Variables serve as unknowns in equations

Find a number to place in the blank that makes the sentence true.

__ + 7 = 9

or

(3x-6)(x-2)=0

Variables express relationships

Variables express relationships, here are some examples.

J=K-6 ("Addy is six years younger than Kendra")

K=J+6 ("Sara is six years older than Addy.")

K-J=6 ("The difference in age between Sara and her younger sister Addy is six years.")

Variables describe generalized properties

Example

Example:

a(b+C) = ab+ac

Constants

A constant is a non-changing value that represents a fixed number.

Here are several examples of a constant

3, 10, π, 1/2.

Examples

One dozen eggs equals 12.

There are four sides to a rectangle

and

2 + 5 = 7

Key ideas:

Why is it important to teach students algebraic reasoning, and graphing? Why do student's need to make connections with geometry? Forty years from now, four plus four will still equal eight. Students need critical thinking skills so they can think through an issue, and reason logically to solve problems outside the classroom in real world.
