Algebra II TRIG Flashcards•As the year goes on we will add more and more flashcards to our collection. •Bring your cards every TUESDAY for eliminator practice!•Your flashcards will be collected on every test day! At the end of the quarter the grade received will be equivalent in value to a test grade. Essentially, if you lose your flashcards it will be impossible to pass the quarter.

What will my flashcards be graded on?

• Completeness – Is every card filled out front and back completely?

• Accuracy – This goes without saying. Any inaccuracies will be severely penalized.

• Neatness – If your cards are battered and hard to read you will get very little out of them.

• Order - Is your card #37 the same as my card #37?

Describe the Steps for “Completing the

Square”• How does it compare to the quadratic

formula?

#3

1.) Leading Coeff = 1 (Divide if necessary)

2.) Move ‘c’ over3.) Half ‘b’ and square (add to both sides)

4.) Factor and Simplify left side.5.) Square root both sides (don’t forget +/-)

6.) Solve for x.

*Same answer as Quadratic Formula.

General Form for DIRECT VARIATION

Characteristics & Sketch

#4

General Form: y = kx

Characteristics: y –int = 0 (always!)Sketch: (any linear passing through the origin)

Define Inverse Variation

#5

Give a real life example

•The PRODUCT of two variables will always be

the same (constant).xy=c

• Example:–The speed, s, you drive and the time,

t, it takes for you to get to Rochester.

FUNCTIONSBLUE CARD

Define Domain

Define Range

#8

• DOMAIN - List of all possible x-values (aka – List of what x is allowed to be).

• RANGE – List of all possible y-values.

#8

Test whether a relation (any random equation) is a FUNCTION or not?

#9

Vertical Line Test• Each member of the DOMAIN

is paired with one and only one member of the RANGE.

#9

Define 1 – to – 1 Function

How do you test for one?

#10

1-to-1 Function: A function whose inverse is also a function.

Horizontal Line Test

How do you find an INVERSE Function…

ALGEBRAICALLY?

GRAPHICALLY?

#11

Algebraically:Switch x and y…

…solve for y.Graphically:

Reflect over the line y=x (look at your table and switch x & y values)

1.)What notation do we use for Inverse?

2.) Functions f and g are inverses of each other if _______ and ________!

3.) If point (a,b) lies on f(x)… #12

)(1 xf

2.) f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x

3.) …then point (b,a) lies on

1.) Notation:

#12

SHIFTSLet f(x) = x2

Describe the shift performed to f(x)• f(x) + a• f(x) – a• f(x+a)• f(x-a)

#13

• f(x) + a = shift ‘a’ units upward• f(x) – a = shift ‘a’ units down.• f(x+a) = shift ‘a’ units to the left.• f(x-a) = shift ‘a’ units to the right.
