Vocabulary Ordered pair – a sequence of 2 numbers where the order of the numbers is important Axis – horizontal or vertical number line Origin – point of intersection of two axes Quadrants – regions created by intersection of 2 axes Location of a point residing in the rectangular coordinate system created by a horizontal (x-) axis and vertical (y-) axis can be described by an ordered pair. Each number in the ordered pair is referred to as a coordinate Martin-Gay, Developmental Mathematics 4

Graphing an Ordered Pair To graph the point corresponding to a particular ordered pair

Graphing an Ordered Pair To graph the point corresponding to a particular ordered pair (a, b), you must start at the origin and move a units to the left of right (right if a is positive, left if a is negative), then move b units up or down (up if b is positive, down if b is negative).

Slope of a Horizontal Line For any 2 points, the y values will be

Slope of a Horizontal Line For any 2 points, the y values will be equal to the same real number. The numerator in the slope formula = 0 (the difference of the y-coordinates), but the denominator 0 (two different points would have two different xcoordinates). So the slope = 0.

Slope of a Vertical Line For any 2 points, the x values will be

Slope of a Vertical Line For any 2 points, the x values will be equal to the same real number. The denominator in the slope formula = 0 (the difference of the x-coordinates), but the numerator 0 (two different points would have two different ycoordinates), So the slope is undefined (since you can’t divide by 0). Martin-Gay, Developmental Mathematics 44

Summary of Slope of Lines If a line moves up as it moves from

Summary of Slope of Lines If a line moves up as it moves from left to right, the slope is positive. If a line moves down as it moves from left to right, the slope is negative.

Functions Some relations are also functions. A function is a set of order pairs

Functions Some relations are also functions. A function is a set of order pairs that assigns to each x-value exactly one y-value. Martin-Gay, Developmental Mathematics 66

Functions Example Given the relation {(4, 9), (– 4, 9), (2, 3), (10, – 5)}, is it a function? Since each element of the domain is paired with only one element of the range, it is a function. Note: It’s okay for a y-value to be assigned to more than one x-value, but an x-value cannot be assigned to more than one y-value (has to be assigned to ONLY one y-value). Martin-Gay, Developmental Mathematics 67

Vertical Line Test • Relations and functions can also be described by graphing their

Vertical Line Test • Relations and functions can also be described by graphing their ordered pairs. • Graphs can be used to determine if a relation is a function. • If an x-coordinate is paired with more than one ycoordinate, a vertical line can be drawn that will intersect the graph at more than one point. • If no vertical line can be drawn so that it intersects a graph more than once, the graph is the graph of a function. This is the vertical line test. Martin-Gay, Developmental Mathematics 68

Vertical Line Test Since the graph of a linear equation is a line, all linear equations are functions, except those whose graph is a vertical line Note: An equation of the form y = c is a horizontal line and IS a function. An equation of the form x = c is a vertical line and IS NOT a function. Martin-Gay, Developmental Mathematics 72

Function Notation • Specialized notation is often used when we know a relation is

Function Notation • Specialized notation is often used when we know a relation is a function and it has been solved for y. • For example, the graph of the linear equation y = – 3 x + 2 passes the vertical line test, so it represents a function. • We often use letters such as f, g, and h to name functions. • We can use the function notation f(x) (read “f of x”) and write the equation as f(x) = – 3 x + 2. Note: The symbol f(x) is a specialized notation that does NOT mean f • x (f times x). Martin-Gay, Developmental Mathematics 73

Function Notation When we want to evaluate a function at a particular value of

Function Notation When we want to evaluate a function at a particular value of x, we substitute the x-value into the notation. For example, f(2) means to evaluate the function f when x = 2. So we replace x with 2 in the equation. For our previous example when f(x) = – 3 x + 2, f(2) = – 3(2) + 2 = – 6 + 2 = – 4. When x = 2, then f(x) = – 4, giving us the order pair (2, – 4).

Function Notation Example Given that g(x) = x 2 – 2 x, find g(–

Function Notation Example Given that g(x) = x 2 – 2 x, find g(– 3). Then write down the corresponding ordered pair. • g(– 3) = (– 3)2 – 2(– 3) = 9 – (– 6) = 15. • The ordered pair is (– 3, 15). Martin-Gay, Developmental Mathematics 75

If the boundary line contains (0, 0), you must select another point that is not contained on the line as your test point. Martin-Gay, Developmental Mathematics 82

§ 10. 8 Direct and Inverse Variation

Direct Variation y varies directly as x, or y is directly proportional to x,

Direct Variation y varies directly as x, or y is directly proportional to x, if there is a nonzero constant k such that y = kx. The family of equations of the form y = kx are referred to as direct variation equations. The number k is called the constant of variation or the constant of proportionality. Martin-Gay, Developmental Mathematics 84

Direct Variation If y varies directly as x, find the constant of variation k

Direct Variation If y varies directly as x, find the constant of variation k and the direct variation equation, given that y = 5 when x = 30. y = kx 5 = k· 30 k = 1/6 1 So the direct variation equation is y = x 6 Martin-Gay, Developmental Mathematics 85

Direct Variation Example If y varies directly as x, and y = 48 when

Direct Variation Example If y varies directly as x, and y = 48 when x = 6, then find y when x = 15. y = kx 48 = k· 6 8=k So the equation is y = 8 x. y = 8· 15 y = 120 Martin-Gay, Developmental Mathematics 86

Direct Variation Example At sea, the distance to the horizon is directly proportional to

Direct Variation Example At sea, the distance to the horizon is directly proportional to the square root of the elevation of the observer. If a person who is 36 feet above water can see 7. 4 miles, find how far a person 64 feet above the water can see. Round your answer to two decimal places. Continued. Martin-Gay, Developmental Mathematics 87

Direct Variation Example continued We substitute our given value for the elevation into the

Direct Variation Example continued We substitute our given value for the elevation into the equation. So our equation is Martin-Gay, Developmental Mathematics 88

Inverse Variation y varies inversely as x, or y is inversely proportional to x,

Inverse Variation y varies inversely as x, or y is inversely proportional to x, if there is a nonzero constant k such that y = k/x. The family of equations of the form y = k/x are referred to as inverse variation equations. The number k is still called the constant of variation or the constant of proportionality. Martin-Gay, Developmental Mathematics 89

Inverse Variation Example If y varies inversely as x, find the constant of variation

Inverse Variation Example If y varies inversely as x, find the constant of variation k and the inverse variation equation, given that y = 63 when x = 3. y = k/x 63 = k/3 k = 63· 3 k = 189 So the inverse variation equation is y = x Martin-Gay, Developmental Mathematics 90

Powers of x y can vary directly or inversely as powers of x, as

Powers of x y can vary directly or inversely as powers of x, as well. y varies directly as a power of x if there is a nonzero constant k and a natural number n such that y = kxn y varies inversely as a power of x if there is a nonzero constant k and a natural number n such that Martin-Gay, Developmental Mathematics 91
