Final Exam logistics There will be 50 questions. You have only one attempt to complete the exam. Once you start the exam, it must be completed in that sitting.   (Don't start until you have

time to complete it that day or evening.) You may skip and get back to a question BUT return to it before you hit submit. 

You must be in the same session to return to a question. There is no time limit to the exam (except for 11:59pm five nights after the last class). You will not have the following help that exists in homework:

Online sections of the textbook Animated help Step-by-step instructions Video explanations Links to similar exercises

You will be logged out of the exam automatically after 3 hours of inactivity.  Your session will end.

IMPORTANT!  You will also be logged out of the exam if you use your back button on your browser.  You session will end.

• Applications

Zero-Product Property

To solve equations we often use the zero-product property, which states that if the product of two numbers is 0, then at least one of the numbers must be 0.

Solving Quadratic Equations

Any quadratic polynomial in the variable x can be written as ax2 + bx + c with a ≠ 0.

Any quadratic equation in the variable x can be written as ax2 + bx + c = 0, with a ≠ 0. This form of quadratic equation is called the standard form of a quadratic equation.

Slide 9

Example

Solve each quadratic equation. Check your answers.a. 36 + x2 = –12x b. x2 − 49 = 0Solutiona. 36 + x2 = –12x

x2 + 12x + 36 = 0(x + 6)(x + 6) = 0

x = −6

The only solution is −6.

To check this value, substitute −6 for x in the given equation.

36 + x2 = –12x

36 + (−6)2 = –12(−6)

72 = 72

Example (cont)

b. x2 − 49 = 0(x + 7)(x − 7) = 0

x =

−7

x + 7 = 0 x − 7 = 0x = 7

To check these values, substitute 7 and −7 for x in the given equation.

72 − 49 = 00 = 0

(−7)2 − 49 = 0 0 = 0

The solutions are −7 and 7.

The solutions are

(2x – 5)(x − 1) = 0

Example

If a model rocket is launched at 48 feet per second, then its height, h, after t seconds is h = 48t – 16t2. After how long does the rocket strike the ground?SolutionThe rocket strikes the ground when the height is 0.

48t – 16t2 = 0

16t(3 – t) = 0

t = 0

16t = 0 3 – t = 0

t = 3

The rocket strikes the ground after 3 seconds.

Example

A frame surrounding a picture is 2 inches wide. The picture inside the frame is 7 inches longer than it is wide. If the overall area of the picture and frame is 198 square inches, find the dimensions of the picture inside the frame.SolutionLet x be the width of the picture and x + 7 be its length.

Example (cont)

(x + 4)(x + 11) =198

x2 + 15x + 44 = 198

x2 + 15x − 154 = 0

(x − 7)(x + 22) = 0

x − 7 = 0 or x + 22 = 0

x = 7 or x = −22

The only valid solution for x is 7 inches. Because the length is 7 inches more than the width, the dimensions are 7 inches and 14 inches.

Expressing Domain and Range in Interval Notation

The set of all valid inputs for a function is called the domain, and the set of all outputs from a function is called the range.

Rather than writing “the set of all real numbers” for the domain of f, we can use interval notation to express the domain as (−∞, ∞).

Example

Write the domain for each function in interval notation.

a. f(x) = 3x b.Solutiona. The expression 3x is defined for all real numbers x. Thus the domain of f is

b. The expression is defined except when x – 4 = 0 or x = 4. Thus the domain of f includes all real numbers except 4 and can be written

The graph of any quadratic function is a parabola.

The vertex is the lowest point on the graph of a parabola that opens upward and the highest point on the graph of a parabola that opens downward.

The graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. In this case the y-axis is the axis of symmetry for the graph.

Example

Use the graph of the quadratic function to identify the vertex, axis of symmetry, and whether the parabola opens upward or downward.a. b.

Vertical and Horizontal Translations

The graph of y = x2 is a parabola opening upward with vertex (0, 0).

All three graphs have the same shape.y = x2

y = x2 + 1 shifted upward 1 unity = x2 – 2 shifted downward 2 units

Such shifts are called translations because they do not change the shape of the graph only its position

Vertical and Horizontal Translations

The graph of y = x2 is a parabola opening upward with vertex (0, 0).y = x2

y = (x – 1)2 Horizontal shift to the right 1 unit

Vertical and Horizontal Translations

The graph of y = x2 is a parabola opening upward with vertex (0, 0).y = x2

y = (x + 2)2 Horizontal shift to the left 2 units

To determine the number of solutions to the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, evaluate the discriminant b2 – 4ac.

1. If b2 – 4ac > 0, there are two real solutions.

• Basic Concepts

• Graphical and Numerical Solutions

• Symbolic Solutions

Example

Determine whether the inequality is quadratic.a. 6x + 2x2 – x3 ≥ 0 b. 8 + 7x2 + 2 < 6x2 + xSolutiona. The inequality 6x + 2x2 – x3 ≥ 0 is not quadratic

because it has an x3-term.

b. Write the inequality as follows. 8 + 7x2 + 2 < 6x2 + x

10 + 7x2 < 6x2 + x

x2 – x + 10 < 0

The inequality is quadratic because it can be written in the form ax2 + bx + c > 0 with a = 1, b = −1, and c = 10.

Make a table of values for x2 − 2x – 15 and then sketch the graph. Use the table and graph to solve x2 – 2x – 15 ≤ 0. Write your answer in interval notation.Solution

Example

Solve x2 > 4. Write your answer in interval notation.SolutionThe graph of y = x2 – 4 is shown with intercepts −2 and 2. Thus the solution set is given by x < −2 or x > 2, which can be written in interval notation as

, 2 2, .

Example

Solve each of the inequalities graphically.a. x2 + 3 > 0 b. x2 + 3 < 0 c. (x − 3)2 ≤ 0Solution a. Because the graph is always

above the x-axis, x2 + 3 is always greater than 0. The solution set includes all real numbers, or (−∞,∞).

b. Because the graph never goes below the x-axis, x2 + 3 is never less than 0. Thus there are no real solutions.

Example (cont)

Solve each of the inequalities graphically.a. x2 + 3 > 0 b. x2 + 3 < 0 c. (x − 3)2 ≤ 0Solution a. Because the graph never

goes below the x-axis, (x − 3)2 ≤ 0 is never less than 0. When x = 3, y = 0, so 3 is the only solution to the inequality (x − 3)2 ≤ 0.

Example

Solve each inequality symbolically. Write your answer in interval notation. a. x2 – 4x – 12 ≥ 0 b. 10 – x2 > 9xSolutiona. x2 – 4x – 12 = 0

(x + 2)(x – 6) = 0

x = −2

x + 2 = 0 x – 6 = 0x = 6

The solutions lie outside the values. In interval notation the solution set is( , 2] [6, ).

Example (cont)

Solve each inequality symbolically. Write your answer in interval notation. a. x2 – 4x – 12 ≥ 0 b. 10 – x2 > 9xSolutionb. – x2 − 9x + 10 < 0

– x2 − 9x + 10 = 0

(x + 10)(x – 1) = 0

x + 10 = 0 x – 1 = 0

x = −10 x = 1

The solutions lie between these two values. In interval notation the solution set is (−10, 1).

x2 + 9x − 10 = 0

Example

A rectangular building needs to be 9 feet longer than it is wide. The area of the building must be at least 532 square feet. What widths x are possible for this building?Solution

x2 + 9x = 532

x(x + 9) ≥ 532

x2 + 9x – 532 = 0

The width is positive, so the building must be 19 feet or more, x ≥ 19 feet.

Due for this week…

Homework 4 (on MyMathLab – via the Materials Link) The fifth night after class at 11:59pm.

Read Chapter 12.1, 12.3 and 14.1-14.3 Do the MyMathLab Self-Check for week 4. Learning team hardest problem assignment. Complete the Week 4 study plan after submitting

week 4 homework. Participate in the Chat Discussions in the OLS

Slide 104Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

End of week 4 You again have the answers to those problems not assigned Practice is SOOO important in this course. Work as much as you can with MyMathLab, the materials

in the text, and on my Webpage. Do everything you can scrape time up for, first the hardest

topics then the easiest. You are building a skill like typing, skiing, playing a game,

solving puzzles. Next Week: Composite Functions, Inverse Functions,

Logarithmic functions, Arithmetic/Geometric sequences/series.
