Study Resources
ˆ The first exam is Wednesday, February 9 in class. We will have time in class on Monday to
go over some of the material and questions in this review packet, but you are encouraged to
come to office hours or the Math Assistance Center for extra help.
ˆ Math Assistance Center (MAC) hours:
– Sunday-Thursday, 6:00 - 9:00 pm
ˆ Go over homework problems, old worksheets. Make sure you understand how to solve those
problems on your own, without following along somebody else’s work, and come ask about
any that you are unsure on using the above resources.
ˆ The list below is not a comprehensive list, but just a primer to get you thinking about
the topics that we have discussed through the past few weeks. The test may cover any and all
material we have covered in chapters 3 and 4, and will likely have more real-world application
questions than are included in this packet.
Key Terms, Concepts, Ideas, Formulas, etc.
ˆ A function is a relation where every

ˆ In the statement “Temperature is a function of time of day”, the input of the function is
and the output of the function is

if every input has a different output (alternately, if no
output is repeated by different inputs).
ˆ When finding the domain of a function, there are two major “problems” to watch out for:
– When our function involves a fraction, we cannot
.
– When our function involves a square root, we cannot
.
ˆ The average rate of change of the function y = f (x) on the interval [x1 , x2 ] is given by the
formula
Average rate of change =

ˆ If f (x) is a function, then
– f (x) + k is a
– f (x + h) is a
– af (x) is a
– f (bx) is a

ˆ If f (x) is a one-to-one function, then f −1 (x) is the
of
f (x), which switches the inputs and outputs of the original function.
ˆ A linear function is a function with a
rate of change. The graph of a linear
function is a line.
ˆ The slope-intercept form of a line is
ˆ The point-slope form of a line is
ˆ Two lines are parellel if they don’t meet.
Two lines are parallel if the have the same
and different
ˆ Two lines are perpendicular if they meet at right angles. Two lines are perpendicular if they
have
slopes.
