SEQUENCE & SERIES
EXAMPLES
Arithmetic- SUBTRACT to find d (common difference) Geometric- DIVIDE to find r (common ratio)
Summation Notation
sum(seq(1/(2^x), x, 3, 6, 1)= 15

REAL/COMPLEX NUMBERS
EXAMPLES
-PUT in a +bi MODE to add, subtract, etc.
-Convert radicals (sq. roots) to decimals!
Complex Conjugates (a + bi) (a - bi)
QUADRATICS/ POLYNOMIALS
EXAMPLES
-Ways to solve a quadratic/polynomial- Factoring, Graphing, Quadratic Formula,
Square Roots & Completing the Square
-It is possible to have real and/or complex solutions
The number of roots a polynomial has is the same as its degree -
-The solutions- are called “zeros” or “roots”
The Discriminant
TWO real roots
ONE real root
NO REAL roots- Complex Roots

Examples
-A relation is a function IF every ‘x’ value has ONE ‘y’ value (meaning it passes the vertical test)
- Domain- x coordinates Range- y -coordinates
- In analyzing a function (the equation) you are really looking for restrictions in the domain
and range (i.e. no zeros in the bottom of a fraction, no negative numbers underneath a
radical)
COMPOSITION
Examples
INVERSE FUNCTIONS f -1
(x) Solve algebraically: Solving for an inverse algebraically is a three step process:
1. Set the function = y 2. Swap the x and y variables 3. Solve for y
*** REMEMBER- all inverses are not functions!!! They must pass the vertical line test!!!****
Examples
Composition Tips
http://mathbits.com/MathBits/TISection/Algebra2/composition.htm
The notation used for composition is: and is read "f composed with g of x" or "f of g of x".

REGRESSION MODELS
Regression Models are used to make predictions given a certain set of data.
The CORRELATION COEFFICIENT (r) indicates how well a model (regression equation) fits a particular set of data.
Designated by r, it falls into the range -1 < r < 1. If r is close to 1 (or -1), the model is considered a "good fit (strong correlation)". If r is close to 0, the model is "not a good fit (weak correlation)".
Examples
Exponential
y = abx
Quadratic
y = ax2 + bx + c
Linear
y = a + bx
Cubic
y = ax3 + bx2+ cx + d
Sinusoidal
y = a sin(bx + c) + d
Logarithmic
y = a + blnx
