There are families of functions that share characteristics, with a parent function being the simplest form. Transformations of the parent function include translations, which shift the graph horizontally and/or vertically without changing shape; reflections, which flip the graph over an axis; and vertical stretches or compressions, which multiply or reduce the y-values by a factor. Combining transformations results in a new function, and the document provides examples of determining rules for functions related through transformations.

4.1 quadratic functions and transformationsleblance
This document discusses quadratic functions and their transformations. It defines key terms like parabola, vertex, and axis of symmetry. The vertex form of a quadratic function makes it easy to identify transformations - the a value determines stretching or compression, the h value shifts the graph horizontally, and the k value shifts it vertically. For any quadratic function, the minimum or maximum value will occur at the vertex. Graphing involves plotting the vertex and axis of symmetry, then using a table of values. Writing quadratic functions starts with identifying the vertex coordinates, then using another point to solve for the a value.

Long division can be used to divide polynomials in a similar way to dividing numbers.

This polynomial long division allows polynomials to be factored by finding all divisor polynomials that give a remainder of zero. The factor theorem can also be used to check if a linear polynomial is a factor by setting it equal to zero and checking if it makes the other polynomial equal to zero.

This document discusses how to describe the shape of a cubic function by listing it in standard form, describing the end behavior of the graph, determining the possible number of turning points using a table of values, and determining the increasing and decreasing intervals. It explains that to describe the shape, you identify the sign of the leading coefficient to determine the end behavior and the number of turning points, which is one less than the possible degree. The document also discusses using differences of consecutive y-values in a table to determine the least degree of the polynomial function that could generate the data, with constant first differences indicating linear, constant second differences indicating quadratic, and constant third differences indicating cubic.
This document defines key concepts related to polynomials and polynomial functions. It defines monomials as terms involving variables and exponents, and polynomials as sums of monomials. The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent among its terms. Polynomial functions are polynomials written in terms of a single variable. Standard form arranges polynomial terms by descending degree. Polynomials are classified by degree and number of terms. Higher degree polynomials can have more turning points and their end behavior depends on the leading term. Examples show determining standard form, classifying polynomials, identifying end behavior and increasing/decreasing parts of graphs.
This document discusses scatter diagrams and linear correlation. It provides examples of scatter diagrams that do and do not show linear correlation. It defines the correlation coefficient r as a measure of linear correlation between two variables on a scatter plot, with values between -1 and 1. It presents formulas for calculating r and provides an example of computing r using wind velocity and sand drift rate data. It cautions that correlation does not necessarily imply causation and that lurking variables can influence the correlation between two variables.
1) Linear regression finds the "best-fitting" linear relationship between two variables by minimizing the vertical distances between the data points and the linear equation line.
2) The coefficient of determination, r^2, measures how well the linear relationship described by the regression line fits the actual data, with higher r^2 values indicating less unexplained variability.
3) r^2 has an interpretation as the percentage of the total variation in the response variable that is explained by the explanatory variable.
