1.3 Stretches
Once again – let’s first look back where we’ve been….

First, we saw how translations occur when we add (or subtract) numbers.

For example, a function can be


transformed to 3 2

Here we subtract 3 from And we subtract 2 from *

2 units Graph horizontally And vertically


translates 3 units right translates 2 units up
3 units (opposite direction of the sign) (same direction* of the sign)

Another way we can look at this is to apply replacements:

 To horizontally translate the graph 3  To vertically translate the graph 2


units right, replace “ ” with “ 3” units up, replace “ ” with “ 2”
So, becomes 2 3 Simplifies to

When we think of vertical translations this way, we can treat it “the same” as horizontal!
*That is, the opposite direction of the sign in the equation: →

We can similarly think of reflections with replacements.


horiz. reflection 4
For example, given the graph of 4 …

 To horizontally reflect,  To vertically reflect,


replace “ ” with “ ” replace“ ” with “ ” vertical
reflection

We can optionally simplify to: Now divide both sides by 1


1 4 to isolate “ ”!
1 4  4
 4

Replacing “ ” with “ ” is identical to “making the entire right side negative”

 Vertical reflection about the -axis

And replacing “ ” with “ ” is identical to “adding to the function”

 Vertical translation units units


- up, if 0 - down, if 0

The vertical stretch is “$” The horizontal stretch is “'/)”


(straightforward!) (reciprocal!)
Another way to look at this is to treat both the vertical and horizontal stretches the same.
So if, for example, a function is horizontally stretched by a factor of 3 and vertically
stretched as a factor of 4, we “could” ....

2.1 Characteristics of Polynomial Functions

Defining Polynomial Functions

A polynomial function, such as a linear function, quadratic, or cubic, involves only


non-negative integer powers of .
Any polynomial function can be written in the form
[ [YC [Y C
@ #[ #[YC #[Y … # #C #]
Where:  W is a whole number, representing the degree of the function
 #[ to #] are real numbers, representing the coefficients, with #[
designated the leading coefficient (coeff. of the highest degree term)
This general formula may look complicated, but a few polynomial function examples should show its simplicity:
 8 This is degree 0 (constant function)

 5 4 This is degree 1 (linear), with a leading coefficient of 5

 2 4 3 This is degree 2 (quadratic), with a leading coefficient of 2


1
 B 7 1 This is degree 3 (quadratic), with a leading coefficient of 1
2
 @ 3 D
2 B
5 8 This is degree 4 (quartic), with a leading coefficient of 3
 @ 2 E D 3 6 This is degree 5 (quintic), with a leading coefficient of 2

These examples are all written in descending order of degree, where terms are arranged starting with the
highest degree term, starting with the leading coefficient. (The coefficient of the highest degree term)

Identify which of the following are polynomial functions. For each that is a polynomial function;
Worked state the degree and leading coefficient:
Example 3
(a) 6 8 (b) 3 D 2 E 3 1 (c) 5 3Z 1

Solution: (a) The middle term can be written 3 YC


, which is NOT POLYNOMIAL as exponent of is not a whole number
(b) All exponents are whole numbers, and all coefficients are real numbers. Hello, you POLYNOMIAL FUNCTION.
Degree is 5 (degree of entire poly function is that of highest degree term). Leading coefficient is . (the terms
are not in descending order of degree – the 2nd term should be re-arranged to the “front”!)
(c) The middle term can be written 3 C/B
, which is NOT POLYNOMIAL as the exponent is not a whole number

Class Example 2.11 Identifying Polynomial Functions

Identify which of the following are polynomial functions. For each that is a polynomial function; state the
degree and leading coefficient:
(a) 4 E 3 (b) 2 5 (c) 3 7 (d) 2 B 5 YC

Polynomial functions can be of any whole number degree W – but for this course we’ll only deal with
functions where W ≤ 5.
And while the coefficients can be any real number – we’ll mainly stick with integer coefficients.

Chapter 2 – Polynomial Functions
There is a relationship between the degree of a polynomial function and the number of -intercepts
on the graph.
For a polynomial function of degree W; the maximum number of -intercepts is V.

 For even degree functions, there  For example, this degree 4


can be % to V -intercepts. function has no -intercepts

Now, a degree 4 function can


also have 1 -intercept … or 2 -intercepts … or 3 -intercepts To a maximum of 4

 For example, consider a degree 5 function


 For odd degree functions, there
can be ' to V -intercepts. Since it starts / ends in the opposite direction
(in this case starts positive in quad II, ands
Note (unlike the functions above), this function negative in quad IV)
must have a negative leading coefficient. (ends down) …there must be at least one -intercept

And we should know how to spot a Polynomial Function Graph!


On the previous page we saw the relationship between the degree of a
polynomial function and certain characteristics of the graph. You might next ask – Polynomial
how can we immediately tell that a graph is of a polynomial function, and not some Function

And once again – great question! Cheers to your inquisitive nature.
Let’s dive into that, with a couple of key distinguishing points:

That means graphs of polynomial functions:

2.1 Characteristics of Polynomial Functions

Worked For the polynomial function @ D


3 B
7 15 18 ;
Example Without using your graphing calculator, state:
i - The start and end behavior of the graph ii - The number of possible -intercepts
iii - Whether or not the graph will have a minimum or maximum point
iv - The domain of the function and the -intercept
Use your graphing calculator to determine:
v - The -intercepts of the graph vi - The range of the function
Sol.: The degree of the function is 4; since it’s even, the graph will start and end in the same direction. And
i - since the leading coefficient is negative (that is, “-1”), the graph will end negative / heading downward.
So…. The graph starts negative in quadrant III, and ends negative in quadrant IV.
ii - Degree 4 (even), so there can be between 0 and 4 -intercepts.
iii - Even degree, graph starts / ends in the same direction. Negative leading coefficient, so which means the

The domain of g(x) of f and g is:

When to Include a domain restriction with a function equation


When a restriction on the domain is not implied by the equation itself, we must include it every time
we state the equation.
C
For example, the function above has an equation 3. But if we just left it at that, it
would incorrectly imply that the domain was 2 ∈ ℝ|
Now it’s clear that f(x) is
C not a line, it cuts off!
So, we must include the restriction immediately afterward: 3; ≤8

3 Written like this, we are not required to state any domain


Another example: Consider the function restriction – we can obtain them by factoring the denominator
9
3 1
But if we simplify …. 3 3 3
Now we have an issue! Someone looking at this function, not knowing that it came from simplifying
(canceling terms), might incorrectly assume that the only restriction is l .
So, we include restrictions anytime we write an 1
; l ±3
equation where something has been canceled 3

Graphing functions with restricted domains / graphing combined functions

that on my graphing calculator? And the answer is yes, yes you can. Here’s the steps:

To graph 4 1 ; ≤2
Neat! Graph
- Put brackets around both the function and the restriction: “stops” at –2

- In between, we put a divided sign


- Key in to access the ≤ sign
- GRAPH your resulting, domain restricted function!

 Next up – graphing combined functions. In the previous example, we also had 1, and wished
to graph the combined function ℎ .

5.1 Practice Questions

1. The graphs of and are shown on the right.


(a) On the same grid, sketch the graph of ℎ

(b) Determine a slope-intercept form equation for and .


*Include any domain restrictions.

(c) Determine a simplified equation for ℎ .


*Include any domain restrictions.

(d) Use the graphs to state the range of , , and ℎ .

(e) Determine an equation for the following combined functions. (Do not graph – include domain restrictions)
i ii iii ⋅

(f) Determine the range of ℎ if the domain of is restricted to 0, ∞ .

* When to include a domain restriction when stating a function equation:


Sometimes when we state the equation of a function, we are under no obligation to include a domain restriction, even if there
is one! For example, 0 has a restricted domain, but we don’t need to include it when writing the equation
because it can be “seen”. (By examining the function and seeing its radical nature, the restriction 3 8 is implied)
But consider from example 5.14. When stating that equation, 4 1 ; ≤ 2 we are obligated to
include the domain restriction of ≤ 2, because that restriction is arbitrary, it is not evident in the equation.
1
This is similar to when we cancel terms. If we express a function , we need not include “ l ±1” after.
1
1 1
But if simplify this to … we must include “ l ±1”
1 1 1
(As there is no indication from the function equation that
1 is a non-permissible value, only l 1 can be “seen”)
The bottom line
Always include a domain restriction whenever it cannot be seen in the function equation. Note that as you continue through
your practice - you will not always be reminded of this! So with that, here are few more reminders to tide you over:
Be sure to include any domain restrictions that cannot be “seen” in the function equation!
Be sure to include any domain restrictions that cannot be “seen” in the function equation!
Be sure to include any domain restrictions that cannot be “seen” in the function equation!

6.1 Radian Measure and Arc Length

Radians – A new Way to Measure Angles

So far in your Trig Career, you’ve dealt with problems where angles
are measured in degrees. And it’s served you well!
We define one full rotation as 360°, which likely comes from our ancestor's
observation the motion of the sun and stars followed patterns on a 365-day circle.
For simplicity, they decided to round to 360, which is a good thing, as it’s a highly composite number.
(360 is divisible by 180, 90, 60, 45, 30, etc)

That said, most of the mathematics and scientific communities use a different angular measure - radians.

Consider a circle with a radius of one. Recall that ~ is the ratio of


• 1 The circumference of this circle is: circumference of a circle to its
diameter
€ }8t € 2}• € 2} 1 circumference
}
‚ ~ M ~ diameter
} is an irrational number, it’s decimal
This ~ value is also the radian measure of form can only be approximated!
the angle •, representing one full rotation. 3.14159265358979238….

We need not include “radians” or “rads” as a unit – any


One rotation is ~ in radians. +%° ~ angle measure given without a degree symbol is assumed
to be in radians!
One radian is the measure of the angle formed by rotating the radius of a circle through an arc
equal in length to the radius.
Since one rotation is 2} 360°, dividing both sides by 2 gives:
• • '0%° ~
' rad
Dividing both sides by } gives: Dividing both sides by 180° gives:

'0%° ~
' rad ' rad
~ '0%°
One radian is approximately So, to convert from radians to degrees: And to convert from degrees to radians:

Chapter 6 – Trigonometric Functions

In our study of trigonometry, we often encounter angles which are multiples of 30° or 45°.

90 is half of 180, so in 60 is one-third of 180, 45 is 1/4 of 180, 30 is 1/6 of 180,

Stating coterminal angles in general form


As we’ve seen, any angle has an infinite number of coterminal angles. Each time you make a full
rotation from a terminal arm, you arrive back at the same place and can repeat the process.
Angles coterminal with a principal angle • can be expressed: ‚ ~V ; V ∈ † or ‚ +%°V ; V ∈ †
Note: V ∈ † reads “W is an element of the integers.
This is another way of saying:
Recall that integers are pos or neg whole numbers. This language
add / subtract any whole number of full rotations!
allows us to represent all possible cases for coterminal angles.

8 Substitute an equivalent expression for _{d


that will allow to you to simplify •bW _{d .

An identity is an equation that is true for all defined values of the variable in the expressions on
both sides. Therefore if two expressions form an identity, they are equivalent.

For example, ' 7 is an equation, Whereas, is an identity


which is true when 4 or 2 which is true for all real values of and .

In chapter 6 we encountered some trigonometric identities:

Reciprocal Identities: Quotient Identities:

•bW _{• d#W _{• •bW

Trigonometric Identities enable us to write the same expression in different ways. It is often possible to rewrite a
complicated expression using a much simpler one. In this section we will:

 Verify identities, both numerically and graphically To simplify trigonometric expression,


 Use algebraic methods to simplify trigonometric a common first step is to write all
expressions or prove identities functions in terms of •aV and s••.

Investigation 2 – The Pythagorean Identity

The point P on the right lies on a unit circle.

1 Use your knowledge of the principles of the


unit circle to label the coordinates of >, in A
terms of the angle in standard position, •.

2 Construct a right triangle by drawing a line segment from > to


the -axis. •

3 Using the coordinates identified above, label all


three sides of the triangle.

4 Equate the three triangular sides using the


Pythagorean Theorem.

The Pythagorean Identity can be visualized by considering any point > on a unit circle.
Recall that any point > on the unit circle has coordinates
A _{••, •bW• cos • , sin • , where • is an angle in standard position whose
1 terminal arm passes through >.
•bW•
• The right triangle formed inside the circle has a hypotenuse of 1,
=_{•• and legs of cos • and sin • .
So by Pythagorean Theorem: cos • sin • 1
Simplifies to: s•• ‚ •aV ‚ '

Now whenever we encounter “s•• ‚ •aV ‚” in a trigonometric expression, we can substitute “'”
Similarly, we can we can substitute “' s•• ‚” with “•aV ‚”
And should we encounter “' •aV ‚”, we can substitute “s•• ‚”

8.1 The Fundamental Counting Principal and Permutations

Suppose you are at a restaurant that has a breakfast special, where you get
scrambled eggs, a choice of three types of protein, and a choice of two types of
toast.

Breakfast Enjoy our Scrambled Eggs, plus: Protein Choose one of: Toast Choose one of:
Special Bacon, Sausage, or Ham Wheat or Rye

1 Assuming you’ll order a complete breakfast, how many different order options do you have?
Visually show how you obtained your answer.

2 The restaurant server informs you that you can also choose between coffee or juice for your beverage.
How many different orders consisting of scrambled eggs, a protein, toast, and a beverage are possible?

3 The restaurant decides to get with the times and offer a plant-based protein option, a tofu patty. How
many complete order options are there now (including beverage), with four choices of protein?

The fundamental counting principal (also called the counting rule) is a way to determine the
number of outcomes in a problem involving different options at each stage.
If there are $ options for the first stage, then ) for the second, s for the third (and so on…)
Then the number of possible outcomes is $ 8 ) 8 s 8…

8.1 The Fundamental Counting Principal

Suppose you planning an outfit for a day at the park. You have four choices for pants, three
Worked choices for tops, and will wear either either sandals or sneakers on your feet.
Example
(a) How many possible outfit (b) How many possible outfit options do you
options do you have? have if you must wear sandals?
Solution: (a) Draw a blank for each stage: (b) Start the same way. But this time, there’s
only one option for the last blank:
Label what each 8 8 '
# of options # of options sandals or
represents  pants tops must be sandals!
for pants for tops sneakers!
Indicate the number ' possible outfits
of options for each 8 8 possible
stage, and multiply: pants tops shoes outfits

Class Example 8.11 Applying the Fundamental Counting Principal

Two children, Amelia and Matteo, are each making a birthday card and have some design choices. They can choose
from blue, green, or white paper, using pencil crayons or markers for writing, and using chunky or fine glitter.
Amelia will not use green paper, as green is her least favorite colour. While Matteo has decided to use both
types of glitter, as he’s strongly in a glitter phase.
Determine the number of unique birthday card options for each child.

Fundamental Counting Principal with Restrictions

The example above involved a restriction – namely that the number of paper options for Amelia was restricted
to just two. Problems in this unit feature all sorts of interesting restrictions, to keep you on your toes! (And to
make the problems more interesting, and in need of more than just simple multiplication!)
In the following examples, watch for any restrictions, and how they affect the number of choices for any stage.

Website A has a security feature where users must choose a four-character passcode, consisting of
Worked two digits followed by two letters.
Example
The passcodes for website B are the same as for website A, except that also the first digit must be
odd, the first letter must not be O or I, and the second letter cannot be the same as the first letter.
Determine the number of passcodes that can be created for each website.
Solution: Website A: Draw four “blanks”, for each of the stages of the passcode:
There are 10 digits
'% 8 '% 8 + 8 +  Multiply the (from 0 to 9) and 26
number of options letters (from A to Z!)
1st digit 2nd digit 1st letter 2nd letter

+= +%% possible passcodes

Website B: Indicate the restriction associated with each option


, 8 '% 8 8 ,  For the first letter, there are 26 letters, minus
the two restricted letters, for a total of 24.
Must be Any digit l O or I l first letter For the 2nd letter, O and I are now okay! But
1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 whatever the first letter was is restricted, so
% %%% possible passcodes there’s one less letter to choose from.

(a) Determine the total number of three-digit numbers


that can be made. Hint: Consider the number of options
you’d have for the first digit – could it be any digit if you’re
writing a three-digit number?

(b) Determine the number of three-digit numbers that are


lower than 500.

(c) Determine the number of odd three-digit numbers that


are lower than 500.

Class Example 8.14 License Plates

The license plates in a particular jurisdiction originally consisted of any three letters, the first of which must be
A, followed by any three digits, the first of which must be either 8 or 9.
Recently this was changed, so that currently each license plate consists of any three non-repeating letters, the
first of which must not be O or I, followed by any three digits, the first of which cannot be 1 or 0.
Determine the number of additional license plate options available after the jurisdiction made this change.

8.1 The Fundamental Counting Principal

Defining Permutations

We’ve already looked at counting the number of ways to arrange a set of objects. (Or, as below, people!)

How many ways can Adbel, Barack, Cecil, and Dharia be There are 4! ways to
seated in a row of four desks? arrange these students

 Another way of saying this is there are 24 permutations of these students

A permutation is an arrangement of all or part of a set of objects, where order matters.


For example: A, B, C and C, A, B are two different permutations of the first three letters in
the alphabet.
The 6 Permutations, or Arrangements, #, &, _ &, #, _ _, #, &
In all there are:
of the letters $, ), and s #, _, & &, _, # _, &, #
3! + permutations

Permutations of Some (not all!) of the Available Objects


Suppose 7 students are running in a race:
1. Abdel We’ve already seen how the total number of possible ways the
2. Barack students can finish, 1st through 7th place, is 7!
3. Cecil That is, there are 7! or 5040 permutations of all of the students.
4. Dharia Now, how many ways could we award a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place medal among the 7 racers?
5. Eve
A B C D E F G
6. Francis
7. Garreth Note how if we start at “1st place” we have 7 choices,
1st 2nd 3rd
7 choices 5 choices which leaves 6 choices for 2nd, and 5 choices for 3rd.
6 choices

By Fundamental Counting Principal there are: 7 8 6 8 5 '% ways to award the medals.

Another Way to Look at This: 7! 7868584838281


The part we don’t want is 4!
This is the part we want

So, the number of permutations of the top 3 students, from a group of 7, is:
Total number
7! of students, V
Arrangements of all the students 7! 7868584838281
or… 7 3 !

Chapter 8 – Perms, Combs, and the Binomial Theorem

The Permutation Formula

From the racing example on the pervious page, we say that the number of ways … items can be arranged, from a
larger group of V items, is:
# of ways to arrange all W items V!
# of PERMUTATIONS That is: VA…
# of ways to arrange items not wanted V … !

Consider the letters in the word OLYMPICS. Use the permutations formula to determine:
Worked
Example (a) The number of arrangements that (b) The number of arrangements that can be
can be made using all of the letters made using any three of the letters
Solution: (a) There are 8 letters (W), from (b) There are 8 letters (W), from
which we wish to arrange 8 (•). which we wish to arrange 3 (•).
8! 8!
i>i i>B
8 8 ! 8 3 !
Note that 0! is 8! # of letters not 8!
equal to 1 0! being arranged 5!
8! % % 88786 +

Defining 0!
In the example above (a), from fundamental counting principal we
know that the number of arrangements of all 8 letters is 8!
Now, in order for our [>• formula to work, we must define %! to equal 1.

 For many straightforward permutation's questions like these, we often stick with the fundamental
counting principal. (That is, we don’t often use [>• .)
For the worked example above, our solutions could look like: (a) 0! % % (b) 0 8 = 8 + +
