Transformations of Functions and Mathematical Concepts

Transformations: g(x) = af(b(x+c))+d

Parameters and Their Effects

a

  • a > 1: Vertical stretch
  • 0 < a < 1: Vertical compression
  • a < 0: Vertical reflection

b

  • b > 1: Horizontal compression
  • 0 < b < 1: Horizontal stretch
  • b < 0: Horizontal reflection

c

  • c > 0: Shift left
  • c < 0: Shift right

d

  • d > 0: Shift up
  • d < 0: Shift down

Examples

g(x) = f(x-3) – 1: Horizontal shift right 3 & vertical shift down 1

h(x) = -f(x): Vertical reflection

j(x) = f(-2(x+3)) + 1: Horizontal reflection, horizontal

Chapter 5: Time Value of Money (Practice quizzes, MindTap, and class examples)

Key Concepts

  • Future Value (FV): Represents the value of an investment at a specific future date, considering interest earned.
  • Simple Interest: Interest earned only on the principal amount. FV = PV + PV(I)(N)
  • Compound Interest: Interest earned on both the principal and accumulated interest. FV = PV x (1+I)^n
  • Compounding: The process of converting present values into future values.
  • Discounting: The process of converting

Direct Proof and Counterexample I: Introduction to Proof Techniques

Section 4.1 – Direct Proof and Counterexample I: Introduction

Discovery and Proof

Discovery and proof are integral parts of problem-solving. When you believe a statement is true, try to understand why. Success validates your discovery, while failure provides insights into the problem and may reveal the statement’s falsity.

Assumptions

  • This text assumes familiarity with basic algebra laws (see Appendix A).
  • We utilize the three properties of equality: For all objects A, B, and C, (1) A = A, (2) if A

Histograms

Appropriate for quantitative data

  • X-axis is quantitative
  • Y-axis is the frequency of the data in the bin
  • Bins are a range of values for collecting data, should be the same size

Shape

  • Symmetric/Bell-shaped
  • Normal
  • Skewed
  • Uniform

Center

  • Mean – useful when data are symmetric
  • Median – useful when data are skewed/outliers
  • Mode – useful for categorical data
    • Unimodal
    • Bimodal

Spread

  • Range – easy to calculate, not useful
  • Interquartile range – easy to calculate, useful when data are skewed/outliers
  • Standard
