Inputs: a number (x) used in the function rule to determine (y) the output
Vertical line test: if the graph is a function, no vertical line passes through it more than
once
Function: a relation in which each input only has one output, so one x only leads to one
y. However, one y can be led to by more than one x. A function:
x 8 9 0 2
y 4 1/2 1/2 6
There are no repeats of x, even if they have the same y. Each input has 1 output. One
person can't be in two places at once, but two people can be in one place!
Function: 3x - 6y = 12
x -2 0 4
y -3 -2 0
Solving for Y:
3x - 6y = 12
-6y = 12 - 3x
-6y = -3x + 12
-6y/-6 = -3x/6 + 12/6
y = ½x - 2
1.) y = ½x - 2
y = (½ • -2) -2
y = -1 - 2
y = -3
2.) y = ½x - 2
y = (½ • 0) - 2
y = -2
3.) y = ½x - 2
y = (½ • 4) - 2
y=2-2
y=0
Anyways NEXT
y = 7.2x + 3
y = (7.2 • -1) + 3
y = -7.2 + 3
y = -4.2
Functio n: 2x + 4y = 8
x -2 0 2
y 1 2 -1
2x + 4y = 8
4y = 8 - 2x
4y = -2x + 8
4y/4x = -2/4 + 8/4
y = -½x + 2
1.) y = (-½ • x) + 2
y = (-½ •-2 ) + 2
y = -1 + 2
y= 1
y = 20 + 5m when m = 13?
y = 20 + (5 • 13)
y = 20 + 65
y = 85
Every y-value is (=) twice (×) the square (²) of its x-value; translate to an equation.
y = 2x²
Slope = m
m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1.
If the starting point is (0,0) and the end point is (-2, 4), the rise is 4 and the run is -2. The
rise is the amount of vertical change, and the run the horizontal change.
A line can have positive slope, negative slope, 0 slope, or a slope that’s undefined.
Vertical lines have undefined slope and are not functions. They fail the vertical line test.
Vertical lines have equations in the form x=a , where a is any real number.
One way to determine whether a function is linear or nonlinear is by looking at its graph.
Another way is by looking at the table of values for an equation! Linear functions have a
constant rate of change.
Find the rate of change between all the pairs of points in the table.
If the rates of change are all the same, the function is linear; otherwise it is a nonlinear
function.

Subtract to find the differences between the x-values and the differences between
y-values in row 2 and 1, and so on and so forth.
X: -1 - (-2 ) = 1
Y: 0 - (-3) = 3
Subtract the difference between the x values and the differences between y values
between rows 3 and 2.
X: 6 - 3 = 3
Y: 8 - 0 = 8
X: 6 - 3 = 3
Y: 11 - 8 = 3
Find the rate of change between each pair of points, aka our previous answers:
-͢
Between (-2, -3) and (-1, 0): 3/1 = 3
Because the rate of change is different between points, it's a nonlinear function!
REWRITING W/ NEGATIVE
EXPONENTS
Remember This?
You can rewrite expressions with negative exponents by using properties of
exponents.
12^-1 look at the possible properties we can use and determine which one applies. In
this case, it's a^-1 = 1/a
12^-1= 1/12^1
= 1/12
1/x^-2
Key Concept
You can determine whether or not a function is linear or nonlinear by looking at the
equation. If it can be written in slope-intercept form, it's linear.
Another way is by looking at the exponent of the input variable x. In a linear equation
the exponent of x is always 1.
slope-intercept form y = mx + b m b
For a table of values or a pair of points, use any two points in the slope formula:
m=y2−y1/x2−x1.
For an equation in standard form, Ax+By=C, the rate of change, or slope, is −A/B.
Relative frequency is the ratio of how frequent a data value is to the total number of
data values. In other words, relative frequency is found by dividing a table variable by its
corresponding column or row total. Relative frequency tables can be created from any
two-way tables.
In order to know whether to divide by the column total or the row total, look at the
problem. When asked to create a relative frequency table, find the two categories that
follow the phrase "the proportion of." Use the totals of those two categories to find each
relative frequency.
clusterzazzz
Scatter plots often have clusters of data, and outliers. A cluster is a group of points that
are close together compared to other points. An outlier is a point that deviates from that
pattern. In clusters, data points have many neighbors. An outlier has few or none.
There can be multiple outliers and clusters in one scatter plot, or none of either. It
depends on the data.
GEOMETRY…… :(
This is an angle:
An angle is the figure formed by two rays, called the sides of the angle, sharing a
common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle.
1. Use three points: a point on one side, the vertex, and a point on the other side.
2. Use just the vertex point.
3. Use the number that may appear near the vertex of the angle, between the sides.
Adjacent angles are two angles in the same plane that have a common side and
vertex, but no common interior points. ∠1 and ∠2 are adjacent angles.
Linear pairs are two angles that have a common side and the same vertex, with their
noncommon side forming a straight line. Linear pairs are always adjacent angles. ∠1
and ∠2 are a linear pair. The sum of the angle measures of a linear pair is 180°.
Vertical angles are a pair of nonadjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. ∠1
and ∠3 are vertical angles. ∠2 and ∠4 are vertical angles.
15x − 1 = 12x + 8
15x − 1 [− 12x] = 12x + 8 [− 12x]
3x − 1 = 8
3x − 1 + 1 = 8 + 1
3x = 9
3x/3 = 9/3
x=3
Alternate exterior angles: the outside angles on opposite diagonal sides of a transversal
crossing two lines. For example, angle 2 and 7 or angle 1 and 8.
Alternate interior angles: the inside angles on opposite diagonal sides of a transversal
crossing two lines. For example, angle 3 and 6 or angle 4 and 5.
Corresponding angles: angles that lie in the same position, or match up, with respect to
the transversal when the transversal intersects two lines. For example, angle 1 and 5 or
angle 2 and 6.
When a transversal intersects two nonparallel lines the sum of the adjacent angles
measures is 180°.
When a transversal intersects two parallel lines the sum of the adjacent angles
measures is 180°.
When a transversal intersects two parallel lines the special angle pairs have equal
measures equal.
Determine triangle
If the sum of two side lengths is lesser than or equal to the greatest side length, aka the
horizontal line, then no triangle can be made.
The sum of the measures of a triangle's angles is always 180°. You can use this to
classify triangles or to find missing angle measures.
The measure of an acute angle is between 0° and 90°.
The measure of a right angle is 90°.
The measure of an obtuse angle is between 90° and 180°.
X is an exterior angle. An exterior angle is formed when you extend a side of a triangle.
The exterior angle can be determined using it's linear pair, and the sums of the
nonadjacent angles. The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum
of the measures of the two nonadjacent interior angles
Polygons
Area of a triangle formula: A = base × height ÷ 2, or A = bh/2
Area of a rectangle formula: A = base × height, or A = bh
Polygons can also be classified by whether their sides and/or angles are all equal.
An equiangular polygon is a polygon whose angle measures are equal.
An equilateral polygon is a polygon whose side lengths are all equal.
A regular polygon is both equiangular and equilateral.
A triangle is a polygon with 3 sides. Equilateral means having all sides equal. An
equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all 3 sides have equal lengths.
VOLUME
Cylinder: a three-dimensional figure with two congruent, parallel bases that are circles
and a curved lateral surface that joins them
Circumference: the perimeter of a circle or ellipse.
Height: The perpendicular distance between the bases
Base area: The total space covered by a flat surface of the base of the cylinder
Radius: a segment that connects the center of the circle to a point on the circle; the
length of that segment is also called the radius.
Diameter: Any straight line segment that passes through the center of the circle and
whose endpoints lie on the circle (𝑑 = 𝑟2)
Pi: The ratio of circumference over diameter.
The formula for the volume, V, of a cylinder, with radius = r and height = h is 𝑉 = π𝑟²ℎ𝑉
Since the area of a circle is equal to π𝑟², the volume of a cylinder can be thought of as
the product of its base area (B) and its height, or 𝑉 = 𝐵ℎ. The volume of a prism is also
the product of its base area and its height, or 𝑉 = 𝐵ℎ.
A cylinder has a diameter of 8 in. and a height of 12 in. What is the volume of the
cylinder?
𝑉 = π𝑟²ℎ
The problem states that the diameter of the cylinder is 8 and the height is 12.
So h = 12.
But don’t substitute 8 for r. The question states that the diameter, not the radius, is 8.
The radius is half the diameter, so r = 4.
𝑉 = π(4)²12
Follow the order of operations when simplifying. In this case, square 4 (Exponents)
before multiplying by 12 (Multiplication).
𝑉 = π(16)12
𝑉 = 192π
Substitute 3.14 for π and round if necessary.
𝑉≈(192)(3. 14)
To round to the nearest tenth, identify the digit in the tenths place: 8. Now look at the
digit to its right: 8. Since the digit to the right is greater than 5, increase the digit in the
tenths place by 1. Then drop all the digits to the right of the tenths place.
The answer is 602.9 in³.

The volume, V, of a of a sphere is 𝑉 = 3
π𝑟³
For the volume of a half-sphere, do the problem normally then divide the result by 2.
