About Algebra and Trigonometry Written and reviewed by a team of highly experienced instructors, Algebra and Trigonometry provides a comprehensive and multi-layered exploration of algebraic principles. The text is suitable for a typical introductory algebra course, and was developed to be used flexibly. While the breadth of topics may go beyond what an instructor would cover, the modular approach and the richness of content ensures that the book meets the needs of a variety of programs. Algebra and Trigonometry guides and supports students with differing levels of preparation and experience with mathematics. Ideas are presented as clearly as possible, and progress to more complex understandings with considerable reinforcement along the way. A wealth of examples—usually several dozen per chapter—offer detailed, conceptual explanations, in order to build in students a strong, cumulative foundation in the material before asking them to apply what they’ve learned.

Coverage and Scope In determining the concepts, skills, and topics to cover, we engaged dozens of highly experienced instructors with a range of student audiences. The resulting scope and sequence proceeds logically while allowing for a significant amount of flexibility in instruction. Chapters 1 and 2 provide both a review and foundation for study of Functions that begins in Chapter 3. The authors recognize that while some institutions may find this material a prerequisite, other institutions have told us that they have a cohort that need the prerequisite skills built into the course. Chapter 1: Prerequisites Chapter 2: Equations and Inequalities Chapters 3-6: The Algebraic Functions Chapter 3: Functions Chapter 4: Linear Functions Chapter 5: Polynomial and Rational Functions Chapter 6: Exponential and Logarithm Functions Chapters 7-10: A Study of Trigonometry Chapter 7: The Unit Circle: Sine and Cosine Functions Chapter 8: Periodic Functions Chapter 9: Trigonometric Identities and Equations Chapter 10: Further Applications of Trigonometry Chapters 11-13: Further Study in Algebra and Trigonometry Chapter 11: Systems of Equations and Inequalities Chapter 12: Analytic Geometry Chapter 13: Sequences, Probability, and Counting Theory All chapters are broken down into multiple sections, the titles of which can be viewed in the Table of Contents.

Development Overview OpenStax Algebra and Trigonometry is the product of a collaborative effort by a group of dedicated authors, editors, and instructors whose collective passion for this project has resulted in a text that is remarkably unified in purpose and voice. Special thanks is due to our Lead Author, Jay Abramson of Arizona State University, who provided the overall vision for the book and oversaw the development of each and every chapter, drawing up the initial blueprint, reading numerous drafts, and assimilating field reviews into actionable revision plans for our authors and editors. The collective experience of our author team allowed us to pinpoint the subtopics, exceptions, and individual connections that give students the most trouble. The textbook is therefore replete with well-designed features and highlights which help students overcome these barriers. As the students read and practice, they are coached in methods of thinking through problems and internalizing mathematical processes.

Accuracy of the Content

v iii

We understand that precision and accuracy are imperatives in mathematics, and undertook a dedicated accuracy program led by experienced faculty. 1. Each chapter’s manuscript underwent rounds of review and revision by a panel of active instructors. 2. Then, prior to publication, a separate team of experts checked all text, examples, and graphics for mathematical accuracy; multiple reviewers were assigned to each chapter to minimize the chances of any error escaping notice. 3. A third team of experts was responsible for the accuracy of the Answer Key, dutifully re-working every solution to eradicate any lingering errors. Finally, the editorial team conducted a multi-round post-production review to ensure the integrity of the content in its final form.

Pedagogical Foundations and Features Learning Objectives Each chapter is divided into multiple sections (or modules), each of which is organized around a set of learning objectives. The learning objectives are listed explicitly at the beginning of each section and are the focal point of every instructional element.

Narrative Text Narrative text is used to introduce key concepts, terms, and definitions, to provide real-world context, and to provide transitions between topics and examples. Throughout this book, we rely on a few basic conventions to highlight the most important ideas: • Key terms are boldfaced, typically when first introduced and/or when formally defined. • Key concepts and definitions are called out in a blue box for easy reference.

Examples Each learning objective is supported by one or more worked examples, which demonstrate the problem-solving approaches that students must master. The multiple Examples model different approaches to the same type of problem, or introduce similar problems of increasing complexity. All Examples follow a simple two- or three-part format. The question clearly lays out a mathematical problem to solve. The Solution walks through the steps, usually providing context for the approach --in other words, why the instructor is solving the problem in a specific manner. Finally, the Analysis (for select examples) reflects on the broader implications of the Solution just shown. Examples are followed by a “Try It,” question, as explained below.

Figures OpenStax Algebra and Trigonometry contains many figures and illustrations, the vast majority of which are graphs and diagrams. Art throughout the text adheres to a clear, understated style, drawing the eye to the most important information in each figure while minimizing visual distractions. Color contrast is employed with discretion to distinguish between the different functions or features of a graph. y

Supporting Features Four unobtrusive but important features contribute to and check understanding. A “How To” is a list of steps necessary to solve a certain type of problem. A How To typically precedes an Example that proceeds to demonstrate the steps in action. A “Try It ” exercise immediately follows an Example or a set of related Examples, providing the student with an immediate opportunity to solve a similar problem. In the Web View version of the text, students can click an Answer link directly below the question to check their understanding. In the PDF, answers to the Try-It exercises are located in the Answer Key. A “Q & A...” may appear at any point in the narrative, but most often follows an Example. This feature pre-empts misconceptions by posing a commonly asked yes/no question, followed by a detailed answer and explanation. The “Media” links appear at the conclusion of each section, just prior to the Section Exercises. These are a list of links to online video tutorials that reinforce the concepts and skills introduced in the section. While we have selected tutorials that closely align to our learning objectives, we did not produce these tutorials, nor were they specifically produced or tailored to accompany Algebra and Trigonometry.

ix

Section Exercises Each section of every chapter concludes with a well-rounded set of exercises that can be assigned as homework or used selectively for guided practice. With over 6,300 exercises across the 9 chapters, instructors should have plenty to from which to choose[i]. Section Exercises are organized by question type, and generally appear in the following order: Verbal questions assess conceptual understanding of key terms and concepts. Algebraic problems require students to apply algebraic manipulations demonstrated in the section. Graphical problems assess students’ ability to interpret or produce a graph. Numeric problems require the student perform calculations or computations. Technology problems encourage exploration through use of a graphing utility, either to visualize or verify algebraic results or to solve problems via an alternative to the methods demonstrated in the section. Extensions pose problems more challenging than the Examples demonstrated in the section. They require students to synthesize multiple learning objectives or apply critical thinking to solve complex problems. Real-World Applications present realistic problem scenarios from fields such as physics, geology, biology, finance, and the social sciences.

Chapter Review Features Each chapter concludes with a review of the most important takeaways, as well as additional practice problems that students can use to prepare for exams. Key Terms provides a formal definition for each bold-faced term in the chapter. Key Equations presents a compilation of formulas, theorems, and standard-form equations.

Key Concepts summarizes the most important ideas introduced in each section, linking back to the relevant Example( s) in case students need to review. Chapter Review Exercises include 40-80 practice problems that recall the most important concepts from each section. Practice Test includes 25-50 problems assessing the most important learning objectives from the chapter. Note that the practice test is not organized by section, and may be more heavily weighted toward cumulative objectives as opposed to the foundational objectives covered in the opening sections.

Introduction It’s a cold day in Antarctica. In fact, it’s always a cold day in Antarctica. Earth’s southernmost continent, Antarctica experiences the coldest, driest, and windiest conditions known. The coldest temperature ever recorded, over one hundred degrees below zero on the Celsius scale, was recorded by remote satellite. It is no surprise then, that no native human population can survive the harsh conditions. Only explorers and scientists brave the environment for any length of time. Measuring and recording the characteristics of weather conditions in in Antarctica requires a use of different kinds of numbers. Calculating with them and using them to make predictions requires an understanding of relationships among numbers. In this chapter, we will review sets of numbers and properties of operations used to manipulate numbers. This understanding will serve as prerequisite knowledge throughout our study of algebra and trigonometry.

CHAPTER 1  Prerequisites

Learning Objectives In this section students will: • Classify a real number as a natural, whole, integer, rational, or irrational number. • Perform calculations using order of operations. • Use the following properties of real numbers: commutative, associative, distributive, inverse, and identity. • Evaluate algebraic expressions. • Simplify algebraic expressions.

1.1  Real Numbers: Algebra Essentials It is often said that mathematics is the language of science. If this is true, then the language of mathematics is numbers. The earliest use of numbers occurred 100 centuries ago in the Middle East to count, or enumerate items. Farmers, cattlemen, and tradesmen used tokens, stones, or markers to signify a single quantity—a sheaf of grain, a head of livestock, or a fixed length of cloth, for example. Doing so made commerce possible, leading to improved communications and the spread of civilization. Three to four thousand years ago, Egyptians introduced fractions. They first used them to show reciprocals. Later, they used them to represent the amount when a quantity was divided into equal parts. But what if there were no cattle to trade or an entire crop of grain was lost in a flood? How could someone indicate the existence of nothing? From earliest times, people had thought of a “base state” while counting and used various symbols to represent this null condition. However, it was not until about the fifth century A.D. in India that zero was added to the number system and used as a numeral in calculations. Clearly, there was also a need for numbers to represent loss or debt. In India, in the seventh century A.D., negative numbers were used as solutions to mathematical equations and commercial debts. The opposites of the counting numbers expanded the number system even further. Because of the evolution of the number system, we can now perform complex calculations using these and other categories of real numbers. In this section, we will explore sets of numbers, calculations with different kinds of numbers, and the use of numbers in expressions.

Classifying a Real Number The numbers we use for counting, or enumerating items, are the natural numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on. We describe them in set notation as {1, 2, 3, . . .} where the ellipsis (. . .) indicates that the numbers continue to infinity. The natural numbers are, of course, also called the counting numbers. Any time we enumerate the members of a team, count the coins in a collection, or tally the trees in a grove, we are using the set of natural numbers. The set of whole numbers is the set of natural numbers plus zero: {0, 1, 2, 3, . . .}. The set of integers adds the opposites of the natural numbers to the set of whole numbers: {. . ., −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, . . .}. It is useful to note that the set of integers is made up of three distinct subsets: negative integers, zero, and positive integers. In this sense, the positive integers are just the natural numbers. Another way to think about it is that the natural numbers are a subset of the integers. negative integers   zero   positive integers . . . , −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, . . .  m  ​    ​m and n are integers and n ≠ 0 ​. Notice from the definition that The set of rational numbers is written as ​ ​ ​  _ ​n rational numbers are fractions (or quotients) containing integers in both the numerator and the denominator, and the denominator is never 0. We can also see that every natural number, whole number, and integer is a rational number with a denominator of 1.

∣

Because they are fractions, any rational number can also be expressed in decimal form. Any rational number can be represented as either: 15 1. a terminating decimal: ​ ___ ​  = 1.875, or 8 _ 4 ___ 2. a repeating decimal: ​    ​  = 0.36363636 … = 0.​36​  11 We use a line drawn over the repeating block of numbers instead of writing the group multiple times.

Irrational Numbers At some point in the ancient past, someone discovered that not all numbers are rational numbers. A builder, for 3 instance, may have found that the diagonal of a square with unit sides was not 2 or even ​ _  ​ , but was something else. 2 Or a garment maker might have observed that the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a roll of cloth was a little bit more than 3, but still not a rational number. Such numbers are said to be irrational because they cannot be written as fractions. These numbers make up the set of irrational numbers. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. It is impossible to describe this set of numbers by a single rule except to say that a number is irrational if it is not rational. So we write this as shown. { h | h is not a rational number }

Real Numbers Given any number n, we know that n is either rational or irrational. It cannot be both. The sets of rational and irrational numbers together make up the set of real numbers. As we saw with integers, the real numbers can be divided into three subsets: negative real numbers, zero, and positive real numbers. Each subset includes fractions, decimals, and irrational numbers according to their algebraic sign (+ or −). Zero is considered neither positive nor negative. The real numbers can be visualized on a horizontal number line with an arbitrary point chosen as 0, with negative numbers to the left of 0 and positive numbers to the right of 0. A fixed unit distance is then used to mark off each integer (or other basic value) on either side of 0. Any real number corresponds to a unique position on the number line. The converse is also true: Each location on the number line corresponds to exactly one real number. This is known as a one-to-one correspondence. We refer to this as the real number line as shown in Figure 2. −5 −4 −2 −1

Sets of Numbers as Subsets Beginning with the natural numbers, we have expanded each set to form a larger set, meaning that there is a subset relationship between the sets of numbers we have encountered so far. These relationships become more obvious when seen as a diagram, such as Figure 3.

Performing Calculations Using the Order of Operations When we multiply a number by itself, we square it or raise it to a power of 2. For example, ​4​2​  = 4 ∙ 4 = 16. We can raise any number to any power. In general, the exponential notation ​an​ ​means that the number or variable a is used as a factor n times. n factors

a​ ​n​ = a ∙ a ∙ a ∙ … ∙ a In this notation, ​a​n​is read as the nth power of a, where a is called the base and n is called the exponent. A term in exponential notation may be part of a mathematical expression, which is a combination of numbers and operations. 2 For example, 24 + 6 ∙ ​ _ ​    − ​4​2​is a mathematical expression. 3 To evaluate a mathematical expression, we perform the various operations. However, we do not perform them in any random order. We use the order of operations. This is a sequence of rules for evaluating such expressions. Recall that in mathematics we use parentheses ( ), brackets [ ], and braces { } to group numbers and expressions so that anything appearing within the symbols is treated as a unit. Additionally, fraction bars, radicals, and absolute value bars are treated as grouping symbols. When evaluating a mathematical expression, begin by simplifying expressions within grouping symbols. The next step is to address any exponents or radicals. Afterward, perform multiplication and division from left to right and finally addition and subtraction from left to right. Let’s take a look at the expression provided.

2 24 + 6 ∙  ​ _  ​    − ​42​ ​ 3 There are no grouping symbols, so we move on to exponents or radicals. The number 4 is raised to a power of 2, so simplify ​4​2​as 16. 2 24 + 6 ∙ ​ _  ​  − ​42​ ​ 3 2 24 + 6 ∙ ​  _ ​   − 16 3 Next, perform multiplication or division, left to right. 2 24 + 6 ∙ ​  _ ​   − 16 3 24 + 4 − 16 Lastly, perform addition or subtraction, left to right. 24 + 4 − 16 28 − 16 12 2 Therefore, 24 + 6 ∙ ​ _  ​  − ​42​ ​  = 12. 3 For some complicated expressions, several passes through the order of operations will be needed. For instance, there may be a radical expression inside parentheses that must be simplified before the parentheses are evaluated. Following the order of operations ensures that anyone simplifying the same mathematical expression will get the same result.

order of operations  Operations in mathematical expressions must be evaluated in a systematic order, which can be simplified using the acronym PEMDAS: P(arentheses) E(xponents) M(ultiplication) and D(ivision) A(ddition) and S(ubtraction)

SECTION 1.1  Real Numbers: Algebra Essentials

How To…

Given a mathematical expression, simplify it using the order of operations.

1.  Simplify any expressions within grouping symbols. 2.  Simplify any expressions containing exponents or radicals. 3.  Perform any multiplication and division in order, from left to right. 4.  Perform any addition and subtraction in order, from left to right.

Simplify parentheses. Simplify exponent. Simplify multiplication. Simplify subtraction. Simplify grouping symbols (radical). Simplify radical. Simplify exponent. Simplify subtraction in numerator. Simplify division. Simplify subtraction.

Note that in the first step, the radical is treated as a grouping symbol, like parentheses. Also, in the third step, the fraction bar is considered a grouping symbol so the numerator is considered to be grouped.



c.  6 − |5 − 8| + 3(4 − 1) = 6 − |−3| + 3(3) = 6 − 3 + 3(3) = 6 − 3 + 9 = 3 + 9 = 12 14 − 3 ∙ 2 14 − 3 ∙ 2       exponent. = ​  _ ​ Simplify d. ​  _2 ​   2 ∙ 5 − 9 2 ∙ 5 − ​3​ ​ 14 − 6   = ​  _ ​   10 − 9 8 = ​  _ ​    1 = 8

Simplify inside grouping symbols. Simplify absolute value. Simplify multiplication. Simplify subtraction. Simplify addition.

Simplify products. Simplify differences. Simplify quotient.

In this example, the fraction bar separates the numerator and denominator, which we simplify separately until the last step. Simplify inside parentheses. e   7(5 ∙ 3) − 2[(6 − 3) − ​4​2]​   + 1 = 7(15) − 2[(3) − ​4​2]​   + 1

Using Properties of Real Numbers For some activities we perform, the order of certain operations does not matter, but the order of other operations does. For example, it does not make a difference if we put on the right shoe before the left or vice-versa. However, it does matter whether we put on shoes or socks first. The same thing is true for operations in mathematics.

Commutative Properties The commutative property of addition states that numbers may be added in any order without affecting the sum. a + b = b + a We can better see this relationship when using real numbers. (−2) + 7 =  5  and  7  + (−2) = 5 Similarly, the commutative property of multiplication states that numbers may be multiplied in any order without affecting the product. a ∙ b = b ∙ a Again, consider an example with real numbers. (−11) ∙ (−4) =  44  and  (−4) ∙ (−11) = 44 It is important to note that neither subtraction nor division is commutative. For example, 17 − 5 is not the same as 5 − 17. Similarly, 20 ÷ 5 ≠ 5 ÷ 20.

Associative Properties The associative property of multiplication tells us that it does not matter how we group numbers when multiplying. We can move the grouping symbols to make the calculation easier, and the product remains the same. Consider this example.

a(bc) = (ab)c 60  and  3 ∙ (4 ∙ 5) = 60 (3 ∙ 4) ∙ 5 = 

The associative property of addition tells us that numbers may be grouped differently without affecting the sum. a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c This property can be especially helpful when dealing with negative integers. Consider this example. [15 + (−9)] + 23 =  29  and  15  + [(−9) + 23] = 29 Are subtraction and division associative? Review these examples. 8  − (3 − 15) ≟ (8 − 3) −  15       64  ÷ (8 ÷ 4) ≟ (64 ÷ 8) ÷ 4 8  − ( − 12) ≟ 5 − 15

64 ÷ 2 ≟ 8 ÷ 4

20 ≠ −10 32 ≠ 2 As we can see, neither subtraction nor division is associative.

Distributive Property The distributive property states that the product of a factor times a sum is the sum of the factor times each term in the sum. a ∙ (b + c) = a ∙ b + a ∙ c

SECTION 1.1  Real Numbers: Algebra Essentials

This property combines both addition and multiplication (and is the only property to do so). Let us consider an example.

4 ∙ [12 + (−7)] = 4 ∙ 12 + 4 ∙ (−7)

  = 48 + (−28)   = 20 Note that 4 is outside the grouping symbols, so we distribute the 4 by multiplying it by 12, multiplying it by −7, and adding the products. To be more precise when describing this property, we say that multiplication distributes over addition. The reverse is not true, as we can see in this example. 6 + (3 ∙ 5) ≟ (6 + 3) ∙ (6 + 5) 6 + (15) ≟ (9) ∙ (11) 21 ≠ 99 A special case of the distributive property occurs when a sum of terms is subtracted. a  − b = a + (−b) For example, consider the difference 12 − (5 + 3). We can rewrite the difference of the two terms 12 and (5 + 3) by turning the subtraction expression into addition of the opposite. So instead of subtracting (5 + 3), we add the opposite. 12 + (−1) ∙ (5 + 3) Now, distribute −1 and simplify the result. 12  − (5 + 3) = 12 + (−1) ∙ (5 + 3) = 12 + [(−1) ∙ 5 + (−1) ∙ 3] = 12 + (−8) =4 This seems like a lot of trouble for a simple sum, but it illustrates a powerful result that will be useful once we introduce algebraic terms. To subtract a sum of terms, change the sign of each term and add the results. With this in mind, we can rewrite the last example. 12  − (5 + 3) = 12 + (−5 − 3) = 12 + (−8) =4

Identity Properties The identity property of addition states that there is a unique number, called the additive identity (0) that, when added to a number, results in the original number. a + 0 = a The identity property of multiplication states that there is a unique number, called the multiplicative identity (1) that, when multiplied by a number, results in the original number. a ∙ 1 = a For example, we have (−6) + 0 = −6 and 23 ∙ 1 = 23. There are no exceptions for these properties; they work for every real number, including 0 and 1.

Inverse Properties The inverse property of addition states that, for every real number a, there is a unique number, called the additive inverse (or opposite), denoted−a, that, when added to the original number, results in the additive identity, 0. a  + (−a) = 0 For example, if a = −8, the additive inverse is 8, since (−8) + 8 = 0. The inverse property of multiplication holds for all real numbers except 0 because the reciprocal of 0 is not defined. The property states that, for every real number a, there is a unique number, called the multiplicative inverse (or 1 reciprocal), denoted ​ _   that, when multiplied by the original number, results in the multiplicative identity, 1. a  ​ , 1 a ∙ ​  _ a  ​   = 1 3 2 1 _ For example, if a = −​  _ ​  , the reciprocal, denoted ​ _ a  ​ , is −​  2  ​  because 3

SECTION 1.1  Real Numbers: Algebra Essentials

Evaluating Algebraic Expressions So far, the mathematical expressions we have seen have involved real numbers only. In mathematics, we may see — 4 expressions such as x +  5, ​  _  ​ π​r ​3​, or √ ​ 2​m​3​​n​2​ ​  . In the expression x + 5, 5 is called a constant because it does not vary 3 and x is called a variable because it does. (In naming the variable, ignore any exponents or radicals containing the variable.) An algebraic expression is a collection of constants and variables joined together by the algebraic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. We have already seen some real number examples of exponential notation, a shorthand method of writing products of the same factor. When variables are used, the constants and variables are treated the same way. ​(−3)​5​  = (−3) ∙ (−3) ∙ (−3) ∙ (−3) ∙ (−3) ​ x​5​  = x ∙ x ∙ x ∙ x ∙ x ​(2 ∙ 7)​3​  = (2 ∙ 7) ∙ (2 ∙ 7) ∙ (2 ∙ 7) ​(yz)​3​  = (yz) ∙ (yz) ∙ (yz) In each case, the exponent tells us how many factors of the base to use, whether the base consists of constants or variables. Any variable in an algebraic expression may take on or be assigned different values. When that happens, the value of the algebraic expression changes. To evaluate an algebraic expression means to determine the value of the expression for a given value of each variable in the expression. Replace each variable in the expression with the given value, then simplify the resulting expression using the order of operations. If the algebraic expression contains more than one variable, replace each variable with its assigned value and simplify the expression as before.

SECTION 1.1  Real Numbers: Algebra Essentials

Formulas An equation is a mathematical statement indicating that two expressions are equal. The expressions can be numerical or algebraic. The equation is not inherently true or false, but only a proposition. The values that make the equation true, the solutions, are found using the properties of real numbers and other results. For example, the equation 2x + 1 = 7 has the unique solution x = 3 because when we substitute 3 for x in the equation, we obtain the true statement 2(3) + 1 = 7. A formula is an equation expressing a relationship between constant and variable quantities. Very often, the equation is a means of finding the value of one quantity (often a single variable) in terms of another or other quantities. One of the most common examples is the formula for finding the area A of a circle in terms of the radius r of the circle: A = πr 2. For any value of r, the area A can be found by evaluating the expression πr 2.

Example 11 Using a Formula A right circular cylinder with radius r and height h has the surface area S (in square units) given by the formula S = 2πr(r + h). See Figure 4. Find the surface area of a cylinder with radius 6 in. and height 9 in. Leave the answer in terms of π. r

Simplifying Algebraic Expressions Sometimes we can simplify an algebraic expression to make it easier to evaluate or to use in some other way. To do so, we use the properties of real numbers. We can use the same properties in formulas because they contain algebraic expressions.

SECTION 1.2  Exponents and Scientific Notation

Learning Objectives In this section students will: • Use the product rule of exponents. • Use the quotient rule of exponents. • Use the power rule of exponents. • Use the zero exponent rule of exponents. • Use the negative rule of exponents. • Find the power of a product and a quotient. • Simplify exponential expressions. • Use scientific notation.

1. 2 Exponents and Scientific Notation Mathematicians, scientists, and economists commonly encounter very large and very small numbers. But it may not be obvious how common such figures are in everyday life. For instance, a pixel is the smallest unit of light that can be perceived and recorded by a digital camera. A particular camera might record an image that is 2,048 pixels by 1,536 pixels, which is a very high resolution picture. It can also perceive a color depth (gradations in colors) of up to 48 bits per frame, and can shoot the equivalent of 24 frames per second. The maximum possible number of bits of information used to film a one-hour (3,600-second) digital film is then an extremely large number. Using a calculator, we enter 2,048 · 1,536 · 48 · 24 · 3,600 and press ENTER. The calculator displays 1.304596316E13. What does this mean? The “E13” portion of the result represents the exponent 13 of ten, so there are a maximum of approximately 1.3 · 1013 bits of data in that one-hour film. In this section, we review rules of exponents first and then apply them to calculations involving very large or small numbers.

Using the Product Rule of Exponents Consider the product x 3 ∙ x 4. Both terms have the same base, x, but they are raised to different exponents. Expand each expression, and then rewrite the resulting expression.

3 factors 4 factors x 3 · x 4 = x · x · x · x · x · x · x



7 factors =x·x·x·x·x·x·x



= x 7

The result is that x 3 ∙ x 4 = x 3 + 4 = x 7. Notice that the exponent of the product is the sum of the exponents of the terms. In other words, when multiplying exponential expressions with the same base, we write the result with the common base and add the exponents. This is the product rule of exponents. am · an = am + n

Now consider an example with real numbers.

23 · 24 = 23 + 4 = 27 We can always check that this is true by simplifying each exponential expression. We find that 23 is 8, 24 is 16, and 27 is 128. The product 8 ∙ 16 equals 128, so the relationship is true. We can use the product rule of exponents to simplify expressions that are a product of two numbers or expressions with the same base but different exponents.

the product rule of exponents  For any real number a and natural numbers m and n, the product rule of exponents states that

am · an = am + n

Write each of the following products with a single base. Do not simplify further. a.  t 5 ∙ t 3    b. (−3)5 ∙ (−3)    c.  x 2 ∙ x 5 ∙ x 3 Solution Use the product rule to simplify each expression.

a.  t 5 ∙ t3 = t5 + 3 = t8 b.  (−3)5 ∙ (−3) = (−3)5 ∙ (−3)1 = (−3)5 + 1 = (−3)6 c.  x 2 ∙ x 5 ∙ x 3 At first, it may appear that we cannot simplify a product of three factors. However, using the associative property of multiplication, begin by simplifying the first two. x 2 · x 5 · x 3 = (x 2 · x 5) · x 3 = (x 2 + 5)· x 3 = x 7 · x 3 = x 7 + 3 = x10



Notice we get the same result by adding the three exponents in one step. x 2 · x 5 · x 3 = x 2 + 5 + 3 = x10

Using the Quotient Rule of Exponents The quotient rule of exponents allows us to simplify an expression that divides two numbers with the same base but ym different exponents. In a similar way to the product rule, we can simplify an expression such as ​ ___ yn   ​, where m > n. 9 y  Consider the example ​ _5  ​. Perform the division by canceling common factors. y  y·y·y·y·y·y·y·y·y y9 ​ ___  ​   = ​  ___    ​ y   · y · y · y · y  y5 ​y​ · y​​  · y​​  · y​​  · y​​  · y · y · y · y = ​ ___  ​        y​​  · y​​  · y​​  · y​​  · y​ ​  y·y·y·y = __________ ​   ​     1 = y 4



Notice that the exponent of the quotient is the difference between the exponents of the divisor and dividend. am ​ ___n ​  = am − n a In other words, when dividing exponential expressions with the same base, we write the result with the common base and subtract the exponents. y9 ​ __5  ​  = y9 − 5 = y4 y For the time being, we must be aware of the condition m > n. Otherwise, the difference m − n could be zero or negative. Those possibilities will be explored shortly. Also, instead of qualifying variables as nonzero each time, we will simplify matters and assume from here on that all variables represent nonzero real numbers.

Using the Power Rule of Exponents Suppose an exponential expression is raised to some power. Can we simplify the result? Yes. To do this, we use the power rule of exponents. Consider the expression (x 2)3. The expression inside the parentheses is multiplied twice because it has an exponent of 2. Then the result is multiplied three times because the entire expression has an exponent of 3. 3 factors

​(x 2)​3​  = (x 2) · (x 2) · (x 2) 2 factors

The exponent of the answer is the product of the exponents: ​(x 2)​3​  = x 2 ∙ 3 = x 6. In other words, when raising an exponential expression to a power, we write the result with the common base and the product of the exponents. (a m)n = am ∙ n Be careful to distinguish between uses of the product rule and the power rule. When using the product rule, different terms with the same bases are raised to exponents. In this case, you add the exponents. When using the power rule, a term in exponential notation is raised to a power. In this case, you multiply the exponents. 5 ∙5 x 5 ∙ x 2 (3a)7 ∙ (3a)10 3

Using the Zero Exponent Rule of Exponents Return to the quotient rule. We made the condition that m > n so that the difference m − n would never be zero or negative. What would happen if m = n? In this case, we would use the zero exponent rule of exponents to simplify the expression to 1. To see how this is done, let us begin with an example. t 8 t ​ 8 ​ ​ __8 ​  = ​ __8  ​  = 1 t  t​ ​ If we were to simplify the original expression using the quotient rule, we would have t 8 ​  __8  ​  = t 8 − 8 = t 0 t  If we equate the two answers, the result is t0 = 1. This is true for any nonzero real number, or any variable representing a real number. a0 = 1 0 The sole exception is the expression 0 . This appears later in more advanced courses, but for now, we will consider the value to be undefined.

Using the Negative Rule of Exponents Another useful result occurs if we relax the condition that m > n in the quotient rule even further. For example, can we h3 simplify ​  _5 ​   ? When m < n —that is, where the difference m − n is negative—we can use the negative rule of exponents h to simplify the expression to its reciprocal. h3 Divide one exponential expression by another with a larger exponent. Use our example, ​ _5  ​ . h h3 h·h·h _ __ ​  5  ​   = ​       ​ h h·h·h·h·h    ​  · h​ h​ ​  · h​ ​  __ = ​       ​    h​ ​  · h​ ​  · h​ ​  · h · h 1 = ​  _     ​ h·h 1 = ​  _2   ​ h If we were to simplify the original expression using the quotient rule, we would have



h3 ​  _5  ​   = h3 − 5 h = h−2 1 Putting the answers together, we have h−2 = ​  _2   ​. This is true for any nonzero real number, or any variable representing h a nonzero real number. A factor with a negative exponent becomes the same factor with a positive exponent if it is moved across the fraction bar—from numerator to denominator or vice versa. 1 1     ​ a−n = ​  _n   ​ and an = ​  _ a a−n We have shown that the exponential expression an is defined when n is a natural number, 0, or the negative of a natural number. That means that an is defined for any integer n. Also, the product and quotient rules and all of the rules we will look at soon hold for any integer n.

Finding the Power of a Product To simplify the power of a product of two exponential expressions, we can use the power of a product rule of exponents, which breaks up the power of a product of factors into the product of the powers of the factors. For instance, consider (pq)3. We begin by using the associative and commutative properties of multiplication to regroup the factors. 3 factors

(pq)3 = (pq) · (pq) · (pq)

=p·q·p·q·p·q



=p·p·p·q·q·q



= p3 · q3

Finding the Power of a Quotient To simplify the power of a quotient of two expressions, we can use the power of a quotient rule, which states that the power of a quotient of factors is the quotient of the powers of the factors.

Using Scientific Notation Recall at the beginning of the section that we found the number 1.3 × 1013 when describing bits of information in digital images. Other extreme numbers include the width of a human hair, which is about 0.00005 m, and the radius of an electron, which is about 0.00000000000047 m. How can we effectively work read, compare, and calculate with numbers such as these? A shorthand method of writing very small and very large numbers is called scientific notation, in which we express numbers in terms of exponents of 10. To write a number in scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right of the first digit in the number. Write the digits as a decimal number between 1 and 10. Count the number of places n that you moved the decimal point. Multiply the decimal number by 10 raised to a power of n. If you moved the decimal left as in a very large number, n is positive. If you moved the decimal right as in a small large number, n is negative. For example, consider the number 2,780,418. Move the decimal left until it is to the right of the first nonzero digit, which is 2. 6 places left 2,780418 2.780418 We obtain 2.780418 by moving the decimal point 6 places to the left. Therefore, the exponent of 10 is 6, and it is positive because we moved the decimal point to the left. This is what we should expect for a large number. 2.780418 × 106 Working with small numbers is similar. Take, for example, the radius of an electron, 0.00000000000047 m. Perform the same series of steps as above, except move the decimal point to the right. 13 places right 0.00000000000047

00000000000004.7

Be careful not to include the leading 0 in your count. We move the decimal point 13 places to the right, so the exponent of 10 is 13. The exponent is negative because we moved the decimal point to the right. This is what we should expect for a small number. 4.7 × 10−13

scientific notation  A number is written in scientific notation if it is written in the form a × 10n, where 1 ≤ |a| < 10 and n is an integer. Example 10 Converting Standard Notation to Scientific Notation Write each number in scientific notation. a.  Distance to Andromeda Galaxy from Earth: 24,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 m b.  Diameter of Andromeda Galaxy: 1,300,000,000,000,000,000,000 m c.  Number of stars in Andromeda Galaxy: 1,000,000,000,000 d.  Diameter of electron: 0.00000000000094 m e.  Probability of being struck by lightning in any single year: 0.00000143 Solution

Analysis Observe that, if the given number is greater than 1, as in examples a–c, the exponent of 10 is positive; and if the number is less than 1, as in examples d–e, the exponent is negative.

Converting from Scientific to Standard Notation To convert a number in scientific notation to standard notation, simply reverse the process. Move the decimal n places to the right if n is positive or n places to the left if n is negative and add zeros as needed. Remember, if n is positive, the value of the number is greater than 1, and if n is negative, the value of the number is less than one.

Using Scientific Notation in Applications Scientific notation, used with the rules of exponents, makes calculating with large or small numbers much easier than doing so using standard notation. For example, suppose we are asked to calculate the number of atoms in 1 L of water. Each water molecule contains 3 atoms (2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen). The average drop of water contains around 1.32 × 1021 molecules of water and 1 L of water holds about 1.22 × 104 average drops. Therefore, there are approximately 3 × (1.32 × 1021) × (1.22 × 104) ≈ 4.83 × 1025 atoms in 1 L of water. We simply multiply the decimal terms and add the exponents. Imagine having to perform the calculation without using scientific notation! When performing calculations with scientific notation, be sure to write the answer in proper scientific notation. For example, consider the product (7 × 104) × (5 × 106) = 35 × 1010. The answer is not in proper scientific notation because 35 is greater than 10. Consider 35 as 3.5 × 10. That adds a ten to the exponent of the answer. (35) × 1010 = (3.5 × 10) × 1010 = 3.5 × (10 × 1010) = 3.5 × 1011

Write each number in scientific notation, rounding figures to two decimal places, and find the amount of the debt per U.S. citizen. Write the answer in both scientific and standard notations. Solution The population was 308,000,000 = 3.08 × 108.

The national debt was $17,547,000,000,000 ≈ $1.75 × 1013. To find the amount of debt per citizen, divide the national debt by the number of citizens.

SECTION 1.3  Radicals and Rational Expressions

Learning Objectives In this section, you will: • Evaluate square roots. • Use the product rule to simplify square roots. • Use the quotient rule to simplify square roots. • Add and subtract square roots. • Rationalize denominators. • Use rational roots.

1. 3  Radicals and Rational Expressions A hardware store sells 16-ft ladders and 24-ft ladders.  A window is located 12 feet above the ground. A ladder needs to be purchased that will reach the window from a point on the ground 5 feet from the building. To find out the length of ladder needed, we can draw a right triangle as shown in Figure 1, and use the Pythagorean Theorem.

c

12 feet

5 feet Figure 1 

a2 + b2 = c2



52 + 122 = c2 169  = c2 Now, we need to find out the length that, when squared, is 169, to determine which ladder to choose. In other words, we need to find a square root. In this section, we will investigate methods of finding solutions to problems such as this one.

Evaluating Square Roots When the square root of a number is squared, the result is the original number. Since 42 = 16, the square root of 16 is 4. The square root function is the inverse of the squaring function just as subtraction is the inverse of addition. To undo squaring, we take the square root. In general terms, if a is a positive real number, then the square root of a is a number that, when multiplied by itself, gives a. The square root could be positive or negative because multiplying two negative numbers gives a positive number. The principal square root is the nonnegative number that when multiplied by itself equals a. The square root obtained using a calculator is the principal square root. —

The principal square root of a is written as ​√ a ​ . The symbol is called a radical, the term under the symbol is called the radicand, and the entire expression is called a radical expression. Radical —

Q & A…

—

Does √ ​ 25 ​  = ±5?

No. Although both 52 and (−5)2 are 25, the radical symbol implies only a nonnegative root, the principal square root. — The principal square root of 25 is ​√ 25 ​  = 5.

—

—

No. ​√ 25 ​   + ​√ 144 ​  = 5 + 12 = 17.   This is not equivalent to ​√ 25 +  144 ​   = 13. The order of operations requires us to add the terms in the radicand before finding the square root.

Using the Product Rule to Simplify Square Roots To simplify a square root, we rewrite it such that there are no perfect squares in the radicand. There are several properties of square roots that allow us to simplify complicated radical expressions. The first rule we will look at is the product rule for simplifying square roots, which allows us to separate the square root of a product of two numbers — — — into the product of two separate rational expressions. For instance, we can rewrite ​√15 ​ as √ ​ 3 ​ ∙ √ ​ 5 ​.  We can also use the product rule to express the product of multiple radical expressions as a single radical expression.

Adding and Subtracting Square Roots We can add or subtract radical expressions only when they have the same radicand and when they have the same — — — radical type such as square roots. For example, the sum of ​√ 2 ​  and 3​√ 2 ​  is 4​√ 2 ​ . However, it is often possible to — simplify radical expressions, and that may change the radicand. The radical expression √ ​ 18 ​ can be written with a 2 — — — — — — in the radicand, as 3​√ 2 ​,  so √ ​   2 ​  + ​√ 18 ​  = ​√    ​ 2 + 3​√   2 ​  = 4​√   2 ​.

Rationalizing Denominators When an expression involving square root radicals is written in simplest form, it will not contain a radical in the denominator. We can remove radicals from the denominators of fractions using a process called rationalizing the denominator. We know that multiplying by 1 does not change the value of an expression. We use this property of multiplication to change expressions that contain radicals in the denominator. To remove radicals from the denominators of fractions, multiply by the form of 1 that will eliminate the radical. For a denominator containing a single term, multiply by the radical in the denominator over itself. In other words, if — — ​ c ​  √ ​  — ​.  the denominator is b​√ c ​,  multiply by ____ ​ c ​  √ For a denominator containing the sum of a rational and an irrational term, multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is found by changing the sign of the radical portion of the denominator. — — If the denominator is a + b​√ c  ,​ then the conjugate is a − b​√ c ​.

Using Rational Roots Although square roots are the most common rational roots, we can also find cuberoots, 4th roots, 5th roots, and more. Just as the square root function is the inverse of the squaring function, these roots are the inverse of their respective power functions. These functions can be useful when we need to determine the number that, when raised to a certain power, gives a certain number.

Understanding nth Roots Suppose we know that a3 = 8. We want to find what number raised to the 3rd power is equal to 8. Since 23 = 8, we say that 2 is the cube root of 8. The nth root of a is a number that, when raised to the nth power, gives a. For example, −3 is the 5th root of −243 because (−3)5 = −243. If a is a real number with at least one nth root, then the principal nth root of a is the number with the same sign as a that, when raised to the nth power, equals a. n —

The principal nth root of a is written as √ ​    a ​ , where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. In the radical expression, n is called the index of the radical.

principal nth root n — If a is a real number with at least one nth root, then the principal nth root of a, written as √ ​    a ​,  is the number with the same sign as a that, when raised to the nth power, equals a. The index of the radical is n.

SECTION 1.4  Polynomials

Learning Objectives In this section, you will: • Identify the degree and leading coefficient of polynomials. • Add and subtract polynomials. • Multiply polynomials. • Use FOIL to multiply binomials. • Perform operations with polynomials of several variables.

1. 4 Polynomials Earl is building a doghouse, whose front is in the shape of a square topped with a triangle. There will be a rectangular door through which the dog can enter and exit the house. Earl wants to find the area of the front of the doghouse so that he can purchase the correct amount of paint. Using the measurements of the front of the house, shown in Figure 1, we can create an expression that combines several variable terms, allowing us to solve this problem and others like it. 3 2 feet 1 foot 2x

First find the area of the square in square feet.

The area of the front of the doghouse can be found by adding the areas of the square and the triangle, and then 3 1 subtracting the area of the rectangle. When we do this, we get 4x 2 + ​  _  ​ x − x ft 2, or 4x 2 + ​  _  ​ x ft 2. 2 2 In this section, we will examine expressions such as this one, which combine several variable terms.

Identifying the Degree and Leading Coefficient of Polynomials The formula just found is an example of a polynomial, which is a sum of or difference of terms, each consisting of a variable raised to a nonnegative integer power. A number multiplied by a variable raised to an exponent, such as 384π, is known as a coefficient. Coefficients can be positive, negative, or zero, and can be whole numbers, decimals, or fractions. Each product ai x i, such as 384πw, is a term of a polynomial. If a term does not contain a variable, it is called a constant.

41

42

CHAPTER 1  Prerequisites

A polynomial containing only one term, such as 5x 4, is called a monomial. A polynomial containing two terms, such as 2x − 9, is called a binomial. A polynomial containing three terms, such as −3x 2 + 8x − 7, is called a trinomial. We can find the degree of a polynomial by identifying the highest power of the variable that occurs in the polynomial. The term with the highest degree is called the leading term because it is usually written first. The coefficient of the leading term is called the leading coefficient. When a polynomial is written so that the powers are descending, we say that it is in standard form. Leading coefficient

Leading term

polynomials  A polynomial is an expression that can be written in the form an x n + ... + a2  x 2 + a1  x + a0 Each real number ai is called a coefficient. The number a0 that is not multiplied by a variable is called a constant. Each product ai x i is a term of a polynomial. The highest power of the variable that occurs in the polynomial is called the degree of a polynomial. The leading term is the term with the highest power, and its coefficient is called the leading coefficient.

How To…

Given a polynomial expression, identify the degree and leading coefficient.

1.  Find the highest power of x to determine the degree. 2.  Identify the term containing the highest power of x to find the leading term. 3.  Identify the coefficient of the leading term.

Example 1

Identifying the Degree and Leading Coefficient of a Polynomial

For the following polynomials, identify the degree, the leading term, and the leading coefficient. a.  3 + 2x2 − 4x3    b. 5t5 − 2t3 + 7t    c. 6p − p3 − 2 Solution

a.  The highest power of x is 3, so the degree is 3. The leading term is the term containing that degree, −4x 3. The leading coefficient is the coefficient of that term, −4. b.  The highest power of t is 5, so the degree is 5. The leading term is the term containing that degree, 5t5. The leading coefficient is the coefficient of that term, 5. c.  The highest power of p is 3, so the degree is 3. The leading term is the term containing that degree, −p3, The leading coefficient is the coefficient of that term, −1.

Try It #1 Identify the degree, leading term, and leading coefficient of the polynomial 4x 2 − x 6 + 2x − 6.

Adding and Subtracting Polynomials We can add and subtract polynomials by combining like terms, which are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same exponents. For example, 5x 2 and −2x 2 are like terms, and can be added to get 3x 2, but 3x and 3x 2 are not like terms, and therefore cannot be added.

SECTION 1.4  Polynomials

Try It #3 Find the difference. (−7x 3 − 7x 2 + 6x − 2) − (4x 3 − 6x 2 − x + 7)

Multiplying Polynomials Multiplying polynomials is a bit more challenging than adding and subtracting polynomials. We must use the distributive property to multiply each term in the first polynomial by each term in the second polynomial. We then combine like terms. We can also use a shortcut called the FOIL method when multiplying binomials. Certain special products follow patterns that we can memorize and use instead of multiplying the polynomials by hand each time. We will look at a variety of ways to multiply polynomials.

Multiplying Polynomials Using the Distributive Property To multiply a number by a polynomial, we use the distributive property. The number must be distributed to each term of the polynomial. We can distribute the 2 in 2(x  + 7) to obtain the equivalent expression 2x + 14. When multiplying polynomials, the distributive property allows us to multiply each term of the first polynomial by each term of the second. We then add the products together and combine like terms to simplify.

Using FOIL to Multiply Binomials A shortcut called FOIL is sometimes used to find the product of two binomials. It is called FOIL because we multiply the first terms, the outer terms, the inner terms, and then the last terms of each binomial. First terms Last terms Inner terms Outer terms The FOIL method arises out of the distributive property. We are simply multiplying each term of the first binomial by each term of the second binomial, and then combining like terms.

How To…

Given two binomials, use FOIL to simplify the expression.

1.  Multiply the first terms of each binomial. 2.  Multiply the outer terms of the binomials. 3.  Multiply the inner terms of the binomials. 4.  Multiply the last terms of each binomial. 5.  Add the products. 6.  Combine like terms and simplify.

Perfect Square Trinomials Certain binomial products have special forms. When a binomial is squared, the result is called a perfect square trinomial. We can find the square by multiplying the binomial by itself. However, there is a special form that each of these perfect square trinomials takes, and memorizing the form makes squaring binomials much easier and faster. Let’s look at a few perfect square trinomials to familiarize ourselves with the form. (x + 5)2 = x2 + 10x + 25 (x − 3)2 = x2 − 6x + 9 (4x − 1)2 = 4x2 − 8x + 1 Notice that the first term of each trinomial is the square of the first term of the binomial and, similarly, the last term of each trinomial is the square of the last term of the binomial. The middle term is double the product of the two terms. Lastly, we see that the first sign of the trinomial is the same as the sign of the binomial.

perfect square trinomials  When a binomial is squared, the result is the first term squared added to double the product of both terms and the last term squared. (x + a)2 = (x + a)(x + a) = x2 + 2ax + a2

46

CHAPTER 1  Prerequisites

How To…

Given a binomial, square it using the formula for perfect square trinomials.

1.  Square the first term of the binomial. 2.  Square the last term of the binomial. 3.  For the middle term of the trinomial, double the product of the two terms. 4.  Add and simplify.

Example 6

Expanding Perfect Squares

Expand (3x − 8) . 2

Solution Begin by squaring the first term and the last term. For the middle term of the trinomial, double the product

of the two terms.

Simplify.

(3x)2 − 2(3x)(8) + (−8)2 9x2 − 48x + 64

Try It #6 Expand (4x − 1)2.

Difference of Squares Another special product is called the difference of squares, which occurs when we multiply a binomial by another binomial with the same terms but the opposite sign. Let’s see what happens when we multiply (x + 1)(x − 1) using the FOIL method. (x + 1)(x − 1) = x2 − x + x − 1 = x2 − 1 The middle term drops out, resulting in a difference of squares. Just as we did with the perfect squares, let’s look at a few examples. (x + 5)(x − 5) = x2 − 25 (x + 11)(x − 11) = x2 − 121 (2x + 3)(2x − 3) = 4x2 − 9 Because the sign changes in the second binomial, the outer and inner terms cancel each other out, and we are left only with the square of the first term minus the square of the last term.

Q & A…

Is there a special form for the sum of squares?

No. The difference of squares occurs because the opposite signs of the binomials cause the middle terms to disappear. There are no two binomials that multiply to equal a sum of squares.

difference of squares  When a binomial is multiplied by a binomial with the same terms separated by the opposite sign, the result is the square of the first term minus the square of the last term. (a + b)(a − b) = a2 − b2

How To…

Given a binomial multiplied by a binomial with the same terms but the opposite sign, find the difference of squares.

1.  Square the first term of the binomials. 2.  Square the last term of the binomials. 3.  Subtract the square of the last term from the square of the first term.

SECTION 1.4  Polynomials

Example 7

Multiplying Binomials Resulting in a Difference of Squares

Multiply (9x + 4)(9x − 4). Solution Square the first term to get (9x)2 = 81x2. Square the last term to get 42 = 16. Subtract the square of the last

term from the square of the first term to find the product of 81x2 − 16.

Try It #7 Multiply (2x + 7)(2x − 7).

Performing Operations with Polynomials of Several Variables We have looked at polynomials containing only one variable. However, a polynomial can contain several variables. All of the same rules apply when working with polynomials containing several variables. Consider an example: (a + 2b)(4a − b − c) a(4a − b − c) + 2b(4a − b − c)



Use the distributive property.

4a2 − ab − ac + 8ab − 2b2 − 2bc Multiply. 4a2 + (− ab + 8ab) − ac − 2b2 − 2bc

Combine like terms.

4a2 + 7ab − ac − 2bc − 2b2 Simplify.

Example 8

Multiplying Polynomials Containing Several Variables

Multiply (x + 4)(3x − 2y + 5). Solution Follow the same steps that we used to multiply polynomials containing only one variable.

Use the distributive property.

SECTION 1.5  Factoring Polynomials

Learning Objectives In this section, you will: • Factor the greatest common factor of a polynomial. • Factor a trinomial. • Factor by grouping. • Factor a perfect square trinomial. • Factor a difference of squares. • Factor the sum and difference of cubes. • Factor expressions using fractional or negative exponents.

1. 5  Factoring Polynomials Imagine that we are trying to find the area of a lawn so that we can determine how much grass seed to purchase. The lawn is the green portion in Figure 1. 4

6x 4

10x Figure 1

The area of the entire region can be found using the formula for the area of a rectangle.

A = lw



= 10x · 6x



= 60x2 units 2

The areas of the portions that do not require grass seed need to be subtracted from the area of the entire region. The two square regions each have an area of A = s2 = 42 = 16 units 2. The other rectangular region has one side of length 10x − 8 and one side of length 4, giving an area of A = lw = 4(10x − 8) = 40x − 32 units 2. So the region that must be subtracted has an area of 2(16) + 40x − 32 = 40x units 2. The area of the region that requires grass seed is found by subtracting 60x2 − 40x units 2. This area can also be expressed in factored form as 20x(3x − 2) units 2. We can confirm that this is an equivalent expression by multiplying. Many polynomial expressions can be written in simpler forms by factoring. In this section, we will look at a variety of methods that can be used to factor polynomial expressions.

Factoring the Greatest Common Factor of a Polynomial When we study fractions, we learn that the greatest common factor (GCF) of two numbers is the largest number that divides evenly into both numbers. For instance, 4 is the GCF of 16 and 20 because it is the largest number that divides evenly into both 16 and 20 The GCF of polynomials works the same way: 4x is the GCF of 16x and 20x 2 because it is the largest polynomial that divides evenly into both 16x and 20x 2. When factoring a polynomial expression, our first step should be to check for a GCF. Look for the GCF of the coefficients, and then look for the GCF of the variables.

CHAPTER 1  Prerequisites

greatest common factor The greatest common factor (GCF) of polynomials is the largest polynomial that divides evenly into the polynomials.

How To…

Given a polynomial expression, factor out the greatest common factor.

1.  Identify the GCF of the coefficients. 2.  Identify the GCF of the variables. 3.  Combine to find the GCF of the expression. 4.  Determine what the GCF needs to be multiplied by to obtain each term in the expression. 5.  Write the factored expression as the product of the GCF and the sum of the terms we need to multiply by.

Example 1

Factoring the Greatest Common Factor

Factor 6x  y   + 45x 2y 2 + 21xy. 3 3

Solution First, find the GCF of the expression. The GCF of 6, 45, and 21 is 3. The GCF of x3, x 2, and x is x. (Note that

the GCF of a set of expressions in the form xn will always be the exponent of lowest degree.) And the GCF of y3, y 2, and y is y. Combine these to find the GCF of the polynomial, 3xy.

Next, determine what the GCF needs to be multiplied by to obtain each term of the polynomial. We find that 3xy(2x2y2) = 6x3y3, 3xy(15xy) = 45x2y2, and 3xy(7) = 21xy. Finally, write the factored expression as the product of the GCF and the sum of the terms we needed to multiply by. (3xy)(2x 2y 2 + 15xy + 7)

Analysis After factoring, we can check our work by multiplying. Use the distributive property to confirm that (3xy)(2x2y2 + 15xy + 7) = 6x3y3 + 45x2y2 + 21xy.

Try It #1 Factor x(b2 − a) + 6(b2 − a) by pulling out the GCF.

Factoring a Trinomial with Leading Coefficient 1 Although we should always begin by looking for a GCF, pulling out the GCF is not the only way that polynomial expressions can be factored. The polynomial x 2 + 5x + 6 has a GCF of 1, but it can be written as the product of the factors (x + 2) and (x + 3). Trinomials of the form x 2 + bx + c can be factored by finding two numbers with a product of c and a sum of b. The trinomial x 2 + 10x + 16, for example, can be factored using the numbers 2 and 8 because the product of those numbers is 16 and their sum is 10. The trinomial can be rewritten as the product of (x + 2) and (x + 8).

factoring a trinomial with leading coefficient 1 A trinomial of the form x 2 + bx + c can be written in factored form as (x + p)(x + q) where pq = c and p + q = b.

Q & A…

Can every trinomial be factored as a product of binomials? No. Some polynomials cannot be factored. These polynomials are said to be prime.

SECTION 1.5  Factoring Polynomials

How To…

Given a trinomial in the form x 2 + bx + c, factor it.

1.  List factors of c. 2.  Find p and q, a pair of factors of c with a sum of b. 3.  Write the factored expression (x + p)(x + q).

Example 2

Factoring a Trinomial with Leading Coefficient 1

Factor x 2 + 2x − 15. Solution We have a trinomial with leading coefficient 1, b = 2, and c = −15. We need to find two numbers with a

product of −15 and a sum of 2. In Table 1, we list factors until we find a pair with the desired sum. Factors of −15 1, −15 −1, 15 3, −5 −3, 5

Sum of Factors −14 14 −2 2 Table 1

Now that we have identified p and q as −3 and 5, write the factored form as (x − 3)(x + 5).

Analysis We can check our work by multiplying. Use FOIL to confirm that (x − 3)(x + 5) = x2 + 2x − 15.

Q & A…

Does the order of the factors matter?

No. Multiplication is commutative, so the order of the factors does not matter.

Try It #2 Factor x 2 − 7x + 6.

Factoring by Grouping Trinomials with leading coefficients other than 1 are slightly more complicated to factor. For these trinomials, we can factor by grouping by dividing the x term into the sum of two terms, factoring each portion of the expression separately, and then factoring out the GCF of the entire expression. The trinomial 2x 2 + 5x + 3 can be rewritten as (2x + 3)(x + 1) using this process. We begin by rewriting the original expression as 2x 2 + 2x + 3x + 3 and then factor each portion of the expression to obtain 2x(x + 1) + 3(x + 1). We then pull out the GCF of (x + 1) to find the factored expression.

factor by grouping To factor a trinomial in the form ax 2 + bx + c by grouping, we find two numbers with a product of ac and a sum of b. We use these numbers to divide the x term into the sum of two terms and factor each portion of the expression separately, then factor out the GCF of the entire expression.

How To…

Given a trinomial in the form ax 2 + bx + c, factor by grouping.

1.  List factors of ac. 2.  Find p and q, a pair of factors of ac with a sum of b. 3.  Rewrite the original expression as ax 2 + px + qx + c. 4.  Pull out the GCF of ax 2 + px. 5.  Pull out the GCF of qx + c. 6.  Factor out the GCF of the expression.

Solution We have a trinomial with a = 5, b = 7, and c = −6. First, determine ac = −30. We need to find two numbers with a product of −30 and a sum of 7. In Table 2, we list factors until we find a pair with the desired sum.

Factoring a Perfect Square Trinomial A perfect square trinomial is a trinomial that can be written as the square of a binomial. Recall that when a binomial is squared, the result is the square of the first term added to twice the product of the two terms and the square of the last term. a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2 and a2 − 2ab + b2 = (a − b)2



We can use this equation to factor any perfect square trinomial.

perfect square trinomials A perfect square trinomial can be written as the square of a binomial:

a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2

How To…

Given a perfect square trinomial, factor it into the square of a binomial.

1.  Confirm that the first and last term are perfect squares. 2.  Confirm that the middle term is twice the product of ab. 3.  Write the factored form as (a + b)2.

SECTION 1.5  Factoring Polynomials

Example 4

Factoring a Perfect Square Trinomial

Factor 25x   + 20x + 4. 2

Solution Notice that 25x 2 and 4 are perfect squares because 25x 2 = (5x)2 and 4 = 22. Then check to see if the middle

term is twice the product of 5x and 2. The middle term is, indeed, twice the product: 2(5x)(2) = 20x.

Therefore, the trinomial is a perfect square trinomial and can be written as (5x + 2)2.

Try It #4 Factor 49x 2 − 14x + 1.

Factoring a Difference of Squares A difference of squares is a perfect square subtracted from a perfect square. Recall that a difference of squares can be rewritten as factors containing the same terms but opposite signs because the middle terms cancel each other out when the two factors are multiplied. a2 − b2 = (a + b)(a − b) We can use this equation to factor any differences of squares.

differences of squares A difference of squares can be rewritten as two factors containing the same terms but opposite signs. a2 − b2 = (a + b)(a − b)



How To…

Given a difference of squares, factor it into binomials.

1.  Confirm that the first and last term are perfect squares. 2.  Write the factored form as (a + b)(a − b).

Example 5

Factoring a Difference of Squares

Factor 9x 2 − 25. Solution Notice that 9x 2 and 25 are perfect squares because 9x 2 = (3x)2 and 25 = 52. The polynomial represents a

difference of squares and can be rewritten as (3x + 5)(3x − 5).

Try It #5 Factor 81y2 − 100.

Q & A…

Is there a formula to factor the sum of squares?

No. A sum of squares cannot be factored.

Factoring the Sum and Difference of Cubes Now, we will look at two new special products: the sum and difference of cubes. Although the sum of squares cannot be factored, the sum of cubes can be factored into a binomial and a trinomial.

a3 + b3 = (a + b) (a2 − ab + b2)

Similarly, the sum of cubes can be factored into a binomial and a trinomial, but with different signs.

a3 − b3 = (a − b)(a2 + ab + b2)

53

54

CHAPTER 1  Prerequisites

We can use the acronym SOAP to remember the signs when factoring the sum or difference of cubes. The first letter of each word relates to the signs: Same Opposite Always Positive. For example, consider the following example. x3 − 23 = (x − 2)(x2 + 2x + 4)



The sign of the first 2 is the same as the sign between x 3 − 23. The sign of the 2x term is opposite the sign between x 3 − 23. And the sign of the last term, 4, is always positive.

sum and difference of cubes We can factor the sum of two cubes as a3 + b3 = (a + b) (a2 − ab + b2) We can factor the difference of two cubes as a3 − b3 = (a − b)(a2 + ab + b2)

How To…

Given a sum of cubes or difference of cubes, factor it.

1.  Confirm that the first and last term are cubes, a3 + b3 or a3 − b3. 2.  For a sum of cubes, write the factored form as (a + b)(a2 − ab + b2). For a difference of cubes, write the factored

form as (a − b)(a2 + ab + b2).

Example 6

Factoring a Sum of Cubes

Factor x3 + 512. Solution Notice that x 3 and 512 are cubes because 83 = 512. Rewrite the sum of cubes as (x + 8)(x2 − 8x + 64).

Analysis After writing the sum of cubes this way, we might think we should check to see if the trinomial portion can be factored further. However, the trinomial portion cannot be factored, so we do not need to check.

Try It #6 Factor the sum of cubes: 216a3 + b3.

Example 7

Factoring a Difference of Cubes

Factor 8x 3 − 125. Solution Notice that 8x 3 and 125 are cubes because 8x 3 = (2x)3 and 125 = 53. Write the difference of cubes as

(2x − 5)(4x 2 + 10x + 25).

Analysis Just as with the sum of cubes, we will not be able to further factor the trinomial portion. Try It #7 Factor the difference of cubes: 1,000x 3 − 1.

55

SECTION 1.5  Factoring Polynomials

We can apply the properties of fractions to rational expressions, such as simplifying the expressions by canceling common factors from the numerator and the denominator. To do this, we first need to factor both the numerator and denominator. Let’s start with the rational expression shown. x2 + 8x + 16  ​       ​ ____________ x2 + 11x + 28 We can factor the numerator and denominator to rewrite the expression. (x + 4)2 ​ ____________      ​ (x + 4)(x + 7) Then we can simplify that expression by canceling the common factor (x + 4). x + 4 _____ ​   ​   x + 7

How To…

Given a rational expression, simplify it.

1.  Factor the numerator and denominator. 2.  Cancel any common factors.

(x + 3)(x − 3) (x + 3)(x + 1)

Solution ​ ____________    ​

Factor the numerator and the denominator.

x − 3 ​ _____   ​ x + 1

Cancel common factor (x + 3).

Analysis We can cancel the common factor because any expression divided by itself is equal to 1.

Q & A…

Can the x 2 term be cancelled in Example 1? No. A factor is an expression that is multiplied by another expression. The x 2 term is not a factor of the numerator or the denominator.

Multiplying Rational Expressions Multiplication of rational expressions works the same way as multiplication of any other fractions. We multiply the numerators to find the numerator of the product, and then multiply the denominators to find the denominator of the product. Before multiplying, it is helpful to factor the numerators and denominators just as we did when simplifying rational expressions. We are often able to simplify the product of rational expressions.

How To…

Given two rational expressions, multiply them.

1.  Factor the numerator and denominator. 2.  Multiply the numerators. 3.  Multiply the denominators. 4.  Simplify.

Dividing Rational Expressions Division of rational expressions works the same way as division of other fractions. To divide a rational expression by another rational expression, multiply the first expression by the reciprocal of the second. Using this approach, we 3 1 x2 1 _ _ _ would rewrite ​ _ x  ​   ÷ ​  3 ​   as the product ​ x  ​  ∙ ​  x2   ​. Once the division expression has been rewritten as a multiplication expression, we can multiply as we did before. 3 1 3 __ ​    ​  = ​    ​  ​ __ ​ · __ x x2 x 3

Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions Adding and subtracting rational expressions works just like adding and subtracting numerical fractions. To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator. Let’s look at an example of fraction addition. 5 1 25 3 ​ ___  ​  + ​ ___   ​  = ​ ___  ​  + ​ ___    ​  24 40 120 120 28 = ​  _   ​ 120 7 = ​  _   ​ 30 We have to rewrite the fractions so they share a common denominator before we are able to add. We must do the same thing when adding or subtracting rational expressions.

The easiest common denominator to use will be the least common denominator, or LCD. The LCD is the smallest multiple that the denominators have in common. To find the LCD of two rational expressions, we factor the expressions and multiply all of the distinct factors. For instance, if the factored denominators were (x + 3)(x + 4) and (x + 4)(x + 5), then the LCD would be (x + 3)(x + 4)(x + 5). Once we find the LCD, we need to multiply each expression by the form of 1 that will change the denominator to the x + 5 LCD. We would need to multiply the expression with a denominator of (x + 3)(x + 4) by ​ _   ​ and the expression x + 5 x + 3 _ with a denominator of (x + 3)(x + 4) by ​     ​  . x + 3

SECTION 1.6  Rational Expressions

How To…

Given two rational expressions, add or subtract them.

1.  Factor the numerator and denominator. 2.  Find the LCD of the expressions. 3.  Multiply the expressions by a form of 1 that changes the denominators to the LCD. 4.  Add or subtract the numerators. 5.  Simplify.

Example 4

Adding Rational Expressions

Add the rational expressions:

6 5 _ ​  _ x ​    + ​  y ​   Solution First, we have to find the LCD. In this case, the LCD will be xy. We then multiply each expression by the

appropriate form of 1 to obtain xy as the denominator for each fraction. 5 _y 6 _ x _ ​  _ x ​   · ​  y  ​   + ​  y ​   · ​  x ​   5y 6x _ ​  _ xy  ​   + ​  xy ​  

Now that the expressions have the same denominator, we simply add the numerators to find the sum. 6x + 5y ​  _   ​ xy    y Analysis Multiplying by ​ _y  ​  or ​  _xx  ​  does not change the value of the original expression because any number divided by itself is 1, and multiplying an expression by 1 gives the original expression.

Simplifying Complex Rational Expressions A complex rational expression is a rational expression that contains additional rational expressions in the numerator, the denominator, or both. We can simplify complex rational expressions by rewriting the numerator and denominator a as single rational expressions and dividing. The complex rational expression ​ _    ​ can be simplified by rewriting the 1 ​  _  ​  + c b 1 + bc a numerator as the fraction ​ _ ​   and combining the expressions in the denominator as ​ _  .​ We can then rewrite the     1 b a b _ expression as a multiplication problem using the reciprocal of the denominator. We get ​    ​  ∙ ​  _      ​, which is equal 1 1 + bc ab _ to ​      ​. 1 + bc

How To…

Given a complex rational expression, simplify it.

1.  Combine the expressions in the numerator into a single rational expression by adding or subtracting. 2.  Combine the expressions in the denominator into a single rational expression by adding or subtracting. 3.  Rewrite as the numerator divided by the denominator. 4.  Rewrite as multiplication. 5.  Multiply. 6.  Simplify.

Example 6

Simplifying Complex Rational Expressions

1 y + ​  _ x ​   _ Simplify: ​  x  ​.    ​  _ ​   y

Solution Begin by combining the expressions in the numerator into one expression.

xy 1 _ ​  _ x   ​  + ​  x ​  

xy + 1  ​ ​  _ x   

x Multiply by ​  _ x  ​  to get LCD as denominator.

Add numerators.

Now the numerator is a single rational expression and the denominator is a single rational expression. xy + 1     ​  ​ ______ _______     ​  xx  ​ __ ​   ​   y

We can rewrite this as division, and then multiplication. xy + 1 x  ​  ÷ ​  _ ​ ​  _ x    y   xy + 1 _y ​  _  ​ ∙ ​    ​ x    x

CHAPTER 1  Prerequisites

Key Concepts 1.1  Real Numbers: Algebra Essentials • Rational numbers may be written as fractions or terminating or repeating decimals. See Example 1 and Example 2. • Determine whether a number is rational or irrational by writing it as a decimal. See Example 3. • The rational numbers and irrational numbers make up the set of real numbers. See Example 4. A number can be classified as natural, whole, integer, rational, or irrational. See Example 5. • The order of operations is used to evaluate expressions. See Example 6. • The real numbers under the operations of addition and multiplication obey basic rules, known as the properties of real numbers. These are the commutative properties, the associative properties, the distributive property, the identity properties, and the inverse properties. See Example 7. • Algebraic expressions are composed of constants and variables that are combined using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. See Example 8. They take on a numerical value when evaluated by replacing variables with constants. See Example 9, Example 10, and Example 12. • Formulas are equations in which one quantity is represented in terms of other quantities. They may be simplified or evaluated as any mathematical expression. See Example 11 and Example 13.

1.2  Exponents and Scientific Notation • Products of exponential expressions with the same base can be simplified by adding exponents. See Example 1. • Quotients of exponential expressions with the same base can be simplified by subtracting exponents. See Example 2. • Powers of exponential expressions with the same base can be simplified by multiplying exponents. See Example 3. • An expression with exponent zero is defined as 1. See Example 4. • An expression with a negative exponent is defined as a reciprocal. See Example 5 and Example 6. • The power of a product of factors is the same as the product of the powers of the same factors. See Example 7. • The power of a quotient of factors is the same as the quotient of the powers of the same factors. See Example 8. • The rules for exponential expressions can be combined to simplify more complicated expressions. See Example 9. • Scientific notation uses powers of 10 to simplify very large or very small numbers. See Example 10 and Example 11. • Scientific notation may be used to simplify calculations with very large or very small numbers. See Example 12 and Example 13.

1.3 Radicals and Rational Expressions • The principal square root of a number a is the nonnegative number that when multiplied by itself equals a. See Example 1. • If a and b are nonnegative, the square root of the product ab is equal to the product of the square roots of a and b See Example 2 and Example 3. a • If a and b are nonnegative, the square root of the quotient __ ​   ​  is equal to the quotient of the square roots of a and b b See Example 4 and Example 5. • We can add and subtract radical expressions if they have the same radicand and the same index. See Example 6 and Example 7. • Radical expressions written in simplest form do not contain a radical in the denominator. To eliminate the square root radical from the denominator, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. See Example 8 and Example 9. • The principal nth root of a is the number with the same sign as a that when raised to the nth power equals a. These roots have the same properties as square roots. See Example 10. • Radicals can be rewritten as rational exponents and rational exponents can be rewritten as radicals. See Example 11 and Example 12. • The properties of exponents apply to rational exponents. See Example 13.

CHAPTER 1  review

1.4 Polynomials • A polynomial is a sum of terms each consisting of a variable raised to a non-negative integer power. The degree is the highest power of the variable that occurs in the polynomial. The leading term is the term containing the highest degree, and the leading coefficient is the coefficient of that term. See Example 1. • We can add and subtract polynomials by combining like terms. See Example 2 and Example 3. • To multiply polynomials, use the distributive property to multiply each term in the first polynomial by each term in the second. Then add the products. See Example 4. • FOIL (First, Outer, Inner, Last) is a shortcut that can be used to multiply binomials. See Example 5. • Perfect square trinomials and difference of squares are special products. See Example 6 and Example 7. • Follow the same rules to work with polynomials containing several variables. See Example 8.

1.5  Factoring Polynomials • The greatest common factor, or GCF, can be factored out of a polynomial. Checking for a GCF should be the first step in any factoring problem. See Example 1. • Trinomials with leading coefficient 1 can be factored by finding numbers that have a product of the third term and a sum of the second term. See Example 2. • Trinomials can be factored using a process called factoring by grouping. See Example 3. • Perfect square trinomials and the difference of squares are special products and can be factored using equations. See Example 4 and Example 5. • The sum of cubes and the difference of cubes can be factored using equations. See Example 6 and Example 7. • Polynomials containing fractional and negative exponents can be factored by pulling out a GCF. See Example 8.

1.6  Rational Expressions • Rational expressions can be simplified by cancelling common factors in the numerator and denominator. See Example 1. • We can multiply rational expressions by multiplying the numerators and multiplying the denominators. See Example 2. • To divide rational expressions, multiply by the reciprocal of the second expression. See Example 3. • Adding or subtracting rational expressions requires finding a common denominator. See Example 4 and Example 5. • Complex rational expressions have fractions in the numerator or the denominator. These expressions can be simplified. See Example 6.

Introduction For most people, the term territorial possession indicates restrictions, usually dealing with trespassing or rite of passage and takes place in some foreign location. What most Americans do not realize is that from September through December, territorial possession dominates our lifestyles while watching the NFL. In this area, territorial possession is governed by the referees who make their decisions based on what the chains reveal. If the ball is at point A (x1, y1), then it is up to the quarterback to decide which route to point B (x2, y2), the end zone, is most feasible.

Tracie set out from Elmhurst, IL, to go to Franklin Park. On the way, she made a few stops to do errands. Each stop is indicated by a red dot in Figure 1. Laying a rectangular coordinate grid over the map, we can see that each stop aligns with an intersection of grid lines. In this section, we will learn how to use grid lines to describe locations and changes in locations.

Plotting Ordered Pairs in the Cartesian Coordinate System An old story describes how seventeenth-century philosopher/mathematician René Descartes invented the system that has become the foundation of algebra while sick in bed. According to the story, Descartes was staring at a fly crawling on the ceiling when he realized that he could describe the fly’s location in relation to the perpendicular lines formed by the adjacent walls of his room. He viewed the perpendicular lines as horizontal and vertical axes. Further, by dividing each axis into equal unit lengths, Descartes saw that it was possible to locate any object in a two-dimensional plane using just two numbers—the displacement from the horizontal axis and the displacement from the vertical axis. While there is evidence that ideas similar to Descartes’ grid system existed centuries earlier, it was Descartes who introduced the components that comprise the Cartesian coordinate system, a grid system having perpendicular axes. Descartes named the horizontal axis the x-axis and the vertical axis the y-axis. The Cartesian coordinate system, also called the rectangular coordinate system, is based on a two-dimensional plane consisting of the x-axis and the y-axis. Perpendicular to each other, the axes divide the plane into four sections. Each section is called a quadrant; the quadrants are numbered counterclockwise as shown in Figure 2.

The center of the plane is the point at which the two axes cross. It is known as the origin, or point (0, 0). From the origin, each axis is further divided into equal units: increasing, positive numbers to the right on the x-axis and up the y-axis; decreasing, negative numbers to the left on the x-axis and down the y-axis. The axes extend to positive and negative infinity as shown by the arrowheads in Figure 3. y 5 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 5

Each point in the plane is identified by its x-coordinate, or horizontal displacement from the origin, and its y-coordinate, or vertical displacement from the origin. Together, we write them as an ordered pair indicating the combined distance from the origin in the form (x, y). An ordered pair is also known as a coordinate pair because it consists of x- and y-coordinates. For example, we can represent the point (3, −1) in the plane by moving three units to the right of the origin in the horizontal direction, and one unit down in the vertical direction. See Figure 4. y 5 4 3 2 1 –5 –4 –3 –2 –1 –1 –2 –3 –4 –5

When dividing the axes into equally spaced increments, note that the x-axis may be considered separately from the y-axis. In other words, while the x-axis may be divided and labeled according to consecutive integers, the y-axis may be divided and labeled by increments of 2, or 10, or 100. In fact, the axes may represent other units, such as years against the balance in a savings account, or quantity against cost, and so on. Consider the rectangular coordinate system primarily as a method for showing the relationship between two quantities.

CHAPTER 2  Equations and Inequalities

Cartesian coordinate system  A two-dimensional plane where the • x-axis is the horizontal axis • y-axis is the vertical axis A point in the plane is defined as an ordered pair, (x, y), such that x is determined by its horizontal distance from the origin and y is determined by its vertical distance from the origin. Example 1

Plotting Points in a Rectangular Coordinate System

Plot the points (−2, 4), (3, 3), and (0, −3) in the plane. Solution To plot the point (−2, 4), begin at the origin. The x-coordinate is −2, so move two units to the left. The y-coordinate is 4, so then move four units up in the positive y direction.

To plot the point (3, 3), begin again at the origin. The x-coordinate is 3, so move three units to the right. The y-coordinate is also 3, so move three units up in the positive y direction. To plot the point (0, −3), begin again at the origin. The x-coordinate is 0. This tells us not to move in either direction along the x-axis. The y-coordinate is –3, so move three units down in the negative y direction. See the graph in Figure 5. y (–2, 4)

Analysis Note that when either coordinate is zero, the point must be on an axis. If the x-coordinate is zero, the point is on the y-axis. If the y-coordinate is zero, the point is on the x-axis.

Graphing Equations by Plotting Points We can plot a set of points to represent an equation. When such an equation contains both an x variable and a y variable, it is called an equation in two variables. Its graph is called a graph in two variables. Any graph on a twodimensional plane is a graph in two variables. Suppose we want to graph the equation y = 2x − 1. We can begin by substituting a value for x into the equation and determining the resulting value of y. Each pair of x- and y-values is an ordered pair that can be plotted. Table 1 lists values of x from −3 to 3 and the resulting values for y. x

Note that the x-values chosen are arbitrary, regardless of the type of equation we are graphing. Of course, some situations may require particular values of x to be plotted in order to see a particular result. Otherwise, it is logical to choose values that can be calculated easily, and it is always a good idea to choose values that are both negative and positive. There is no rule dictating how many points to plot, although we need at least two to graph a line. Keep in mind, however, that the more points we plot, the more accurately we can sketch the graph.

How To…

Given an equation, graph by plotting points.

1.  Make a table with one column labeled x, a second column labeled with the equation, and a third column listing the

resulting ordered pairs.

2.  E  nter x-values down the first column using positive and negative values. Selecting the x-values in numerical order

will make the graphing simpler.

3.  Select x-values that will yield y-values with little effort, preferably ones that can be calculated mentally. 4.  Plot the ordered pairs. 5.  Connect the points if they form a line.

Graphing Equations with a Graphing Utility Most graphing calculators require similar techniques to graph an equation. The equations sometimes have to be manipulated so they are written in the style y =  . The TI-84 Plus, and many other calculator makes and models, have a mode function, which allows the window (the screen for viewing the graph) to be altered so the pertinent parts of a graph can be seen. For example, the equation y = 2x − 20 has been entered in the TI-84 Plus shown in Figure 8a. In Figure 8b, the resulting graph is shown. Notice that we cannot see on the screen where the graph crosses the axes. The standard window screen on the TI-84 Plus shows −10 ≤ x ≤ 10, and −10 ≤ y ≤ 10. See Figure 8c.

SECTION 2.1  The Rectangular Coordinate Systems and Graphs

Finding x-intercepts and y-intercepts The intercepts of a graph are points at which the graph crosses the axes. The x-intercept is the point at which the graph crosses the x-axis. At this point, the y-coordinate is zero. The y-intercept is the point at which the graph crosses the y-axis. At this point, the x-coordinate is zero. To determine the x-intercept, we set y equal to zero and solve for x. Similarly, to determine the y-intercept, we set x equal to zero and solve for y. For example, lets find the intercepts of the equation y = 3x − 1. To find the x-intercept, set y = 0. y = 3x − 1 0  = 3x − 1 1  = 3x 1 _ ​   ​    = x 3 x-intercept ​  ​  _31 ​  , 0   ​ To find the y-intercept, set x = 0. y = 3x − 1 y = 3(0) − 1 y = −1 (0, −1) y-intercept We can confirm that our results make sense by observing a graph of the equation as in Figure 11.

Using the Distance Formula Derived from the Pythagorean Theorem, the distance formula is used to find the distance between two points in the plane. The Pythagorean Theorem, a2 + b2 = c2, is based on a right triangle where a and b are the lengths of the legs adjacent to the right angle, and c is the length of the hypotenuse. See Figure 13. y 7

Figure 13

The relationship of sides |x2 − x1| and |y2 − y1| to side d is the same as that of sides a and b to side c. We use the absolute value symbol to indicate that the length is a positive number because the absolute value of any number is positive. (For example, |−3| = 3. ) The symbols |x2 − x1| and |y2 − y1| indicate that the lengths of the sides of the triangle are positive. To find the length c, take the square root of both sides of the Pythagorean Theorem. —

c2 = a2 + b2 → c = ​√ a2 + b2 ​ 



It follows that the distance formula is given as ——

    − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2 ​ d 2 = (x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2 → d = ​√ (x 2



We do not have to use the absolute value symbols in this definition because any number squared is positive.

Example 6

Finding the Distance between Two Locations

Let’s return to the situation introduced at the beginning of this section. Tracie set out from Elmhurst, IL, to go to Franklin Park. On the way, she made a few stops to do errands. Each stop is indicated by a red dot in Figure 1. Find the total distance that Tracie traveled. Compare this with the distance between her starting and final positions. Solution The first thing we should do is identify ordered pairs to describe each position. If we set the starting position

at the origin, we can identify each of the other points by counting units east (right) and north (up) on the grid. For example, the first stop is 1 block east and 1 block north, so it is at (1, 1). The next stop is 5 blocks to the east, so it is at (5, 1). After that, she traveled 3 blocks east and 2 blocks north to (8, 3). Lastly, she traveled 4 blocks north to (8, 7). We can label these points on the grid as in Figure 15. y Schiller Avenue

CHAPTER 2  Equations and Inequalities

Next, we can calculate the distance. Note that each grid unit represents 1,000 feet. • From her starting location to her first stop at (1, 1), Tracie might have driven north 1,000 feet and then east 1,000 feet, or vice versa. Either way, she drove 2,000 feet to her first stop. • Her second stop is at (5, 1). So from (1, 1) to (5, 1), Tracie drove east 4,000 feet. • Her third stop is at (8, 3). There are a number of routes from (5, 1) to (8, 3). Whatever route Tracie decided to use, the distance is the same, as there are no angular streets between the two points. Let’s say she drove east 3,000 feet and then north 2,000 feet for a total of 5,000 feet. • Tracie’s final stop is at (8, 7). This is a straight drive north from (8, 3) for a total of 4,000 feet. Next, we will add the distances listed in Table 3. From/To

The total distance Tracie drove is 15,000 feet, or 2.84 miles. This is not, however, the actual distance between her starting and ending positions. To find this distance, we can use the distance formula between the points (0, 0) and (8, 7). —

2 d = ​√ (8 − 0)     + (7 − 0)2 ​



—



= ​√ 64 +  49 ​ 



=√ ​ 113 ​ 



≈ 10.63 units

—

At 1,000 feet per grid unit, the distance between Elmhurst, IL, to Franklin Park is 10,630.14 feet, or 2.01 miles. The distance formula results in a shorter calculation because it is based on the hypotenuse of a right triangle, a straight diagonal from the origin to the point (8, 7). Perhaps you have heard the saying “as the crow flies,” which means the shortest distance between two points because a crow can fly in a straight line even though a person on the ground has to travel a longer distance on existing roadways.

Using the Midpoint Formula When the endpoints of a line segment are known, we can find the point midway between them. This point is known as the midpoint and the formula is known as the midpoint formula. Given the endpoints of a line segment, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the midpoint formula states how to find the coordinates of the midpoint M. y  + y2 x1 + x2 _______ M = ​  ​ _______  ​   , ​  1  ​      ​ 2 2 A graphical view of a midpoint is shown in Figure 16.

Solving Linear Equations in One Variable A linear equation is an equation of a straight line, written in one variable. The only power of the variable is 1. Linear equations in one variable may take the form ax + b = 0 and are solved using basic algebraic operations. We begin by classifying linear equations in one variable as one of three types: identity, conditional, or inconsistent. An identity equation is true for all values of the variable. Here is an example of an identity equation. 3x = 2x + x The solution set consists of all values that make the equation true. For this equation, the solution set is all real numbers because any real number substituted for x will make the equation true. A conditional equation is true for only some values of the variable. For example, if we are to solve the equation 5x + 2 = 3x − 6, we have the following: 5x + 2 = 3x − 6 2x = −8 x = −4 The solution set consists of one number: {−4}. It is the only solution and, therefore, we have solved a conditional equation. An inconsistent equation results in a false statement. For example, if we are to solve 5x − 15 = 5(x − 4), we have the following: 5x − 15 = 5x − 20 5x − 15 − 5x = 5x − 20 − 5x Subtract 5x from both sides. −15 ≠ −20 False statement

CHAPTER 2  Equations and Inequalities

Indeed, −15 ≠ −20. There is no solution because this is an inconsistent equation. Solving linear equations in one variable involves the fundamental properties of equality and basic algebraic operations. A brief review of those operations follows.

linear equation in one variable  A linear equation in one variable can be written in the form ax + b = 0 where a and b are real numbers, a ≠ 0.

How To…

Given a linear equation in one variable, use algebra to solve it.

The following steps are used to manipulate an equation and isolate the unknown variable, so that the last line reads x =  , if x is the unknown. There is no set order, as the steps used depend on what is given: 1.  We may add, subtract, multiply, or divide an equation by a number or an expression as long as we do the same thing

to both sides of the equal sign. Note that we cannot divide by zero.

2.  Apply the distributive property as needed: a(b + c) = ab + ac. 3.  Isolate the variable on one side of the equation. 4.  When the variable is multiplied by a coefficient in the final stage, multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal

of the coefficient.

Example 1

Solving an Equation in One Variable

Solve the following equation: 2x + 7 = 19. Solution This equation can be written in the form ax + b = 0 by subtracting 19 from both sides. However, we may

proceed to solve the equation in its original form by performing algebraic operations.

2x + 7 = 19 2x = 12 x = 6

The solution is 6.

Subtract 7 from both sides. 1 Multiply both sides by ​ _ ​   or divide by 2. 2

Example 2

Solving an Equation Algebraically When the Variable Appears on Both Sides

Solve the following equation: 4(x − 3) + 12 = 15 − 5(x + 6). Solution Apply standard algebraic properties.

4(x − 3) + 12 = 15 − 5(x + 6) 4x − 12 + 12 = 15 − 5x − 30

Apply the distributive property.

4x = −15 − 5x

Combine like terms.

9x = −15 Place x- terms on one side and simplify. 15 1 Multiply both sides by ​ _ ​  , the reciprocal of 9. x = −​  _ ​    9 9 5 x = −​  _  ​  3 Analysis This problem requires the distributive property to be applied twice, and then the properties of algebra are used 5 to reach the final line, x = −​  _  ​ . 3

Solving a Rational Equation In this section, we look at rational equations that, after some manipulation, result in a linear equation. If an equation contains at least one rational expression, it is a considered a rational equation. 7 2 Recall that a rational number is the ratio of two numbers, such as ​ _ ​   or ​  _ ​  . A rational expression is the ratio, or quotient, 3 2 of two polynomials. Here are three examples. x + 1 _ 4 1 ​  _          ​, or ​  _  ​, ​       ​ 2 2 x − 3 x  − 4 x  + x − 2 Rational equations have a variable in the denominator in at least one of the terms. Our goal is to perform algebraic operations so that the variables appear in the numerator. In fact, we will eliminate all denominators by multiplying both sides of the equation by the least common denominator (LCD). Finding the LCD is identifying an expression that contains the highest power of all of the factors in all of the denominators. We do this because when the equation is multiplied by the LCD, the common factors in the LCD and in each denominator will equal one and will cancel out.

Example 3

An LCD of 6x contains all three denominators. In other words, each denominator can be divided evenly into the LCD. Next, multiply both sides of the equation by the LCD 6x. 7 5 22 (6x)​ ​  _   ​  − ​  _   ​  ​  = ​ ​  _ ​   ​(6x) 2x 3x 3 7 5 22 (6x)​ ​  _   ​   ​  − (6x)​ ​  _   ​   ​  = ​ ​  _ ​    ​(6x) 2x 3x 3

Always consider a binomial as an individual factor—the terms cannot be separated. For example, suppose a problem has three terms and the denominators are x, x − 1, and 3x − 3. First, factor all denominators. We then have x, (x − 1), and 3(x − 1) as the denominators. (Note the parentheses placed around the second denominator.) Only the last two denominators have a common factor of (x − 1). The x in the first denominator is separate from the x in the (x − 1) denominators. An effective way to remember this is to write factored and binomial denominators in parentheses, and consider each parentheses as a separate unit or a separate factor. The LCD in this instance is found by multiplying together the x, one factor of (x − 1), and the 3. Thus, the LCD is the following: x(x − 1)3 = 3x(x − 1) So, both sides of the equation would be multiplied by 3x(x − 1). Leave the LCD in factored form, as this makes it easier to see how each denominator in the problem cancels out.

CHAPTER 2  Equations and Inequalities

Another example is a problem with two denominators, such as x and x 2 + 2x. Once the second denominator is factored as x 2 + 2x = x(x + 2), there is a common factor of x in both denominators and the LCD is x(x + 2). Sometimes we have a rational equation in the form of a proportion; that is, when one fraction equals another fraction and there are no other terms in the equation. a c ​  _ ​    = ​  _   ​ b d We can use another method of solving the equation without finding the LCD: cross-multiplication. We multiply terms by crossing over the equal sign. c a c a If ​  _ ​    = ​  _   ​, then ​  _ ​    = ​  _   ​. b d b d Multiply a(d) and b(c), which results in ad = bc. Any solution that makes a denominator in the original expression equal zero must be excluded from the possibilities.

rational equations  A rational equation contains at least one rational expression where the variable appears in at least one of the denominators.

How To…

Given a rational equation, solve it.

1.  Factor all denominators in the equation. 2.  Find and exclude values that set each denominator equal to zero. 3.  Find the LCD. 4.  Multiply the whole equation by the LCD. If the LCD is correct, there will be no denominators left. 5.  Solve the remaining equation. 6.  Make sure to check solutions back in the original equations to avoid a solution producing zero in a denominator.

Finding a Linear Equation Perhaps the most familiar form of a linear equation is the slope-intercept form, written as y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y-intercept. Let us begin with the slope.

The Slope of a Line The slope of a line refers to the ratio of the vertical change in y over the horizontal change in x between any two points on a line. It indicates the direction in which a line slants as well as its steepness. Slope is sometimes described as rise over run. y2 − y1    ​ m = ​  __ x2 − x1  If the slope is positive, the line slants to the right. If the slope is negative, the line slants to the left. As the slope increases, the line becomes steeper. Some examples are shown in Figure 2. The lines indicate the following slopes: m = −3, 1 m = 2, and m = ​  _  ​ . 3

the slope of a line  The slope of a line, m, represents the change in y over the change in x. Given two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the following formula determines the slope of a line containing these points: y  − y m = ​  x2  − x1     ​ 2 1 __

Example 8

Finding the Slope of a Line Given Two Points

Find the slope of a line that passes through the points (2, −1) and (−5, 3). Solution We substitute the y-values and the x-values into the formula.

Analysis It does not matter which point is called (x1, y1) or (x2, y2). As long as we are consistent with the order of the y terms and the order of the x terms in the numerator and denominator, the calculation will yield the same result.

Try It #7 Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (−2, 6) and (1, 4).

Identifying the Slope and y-intercept of a Line Given an Equation

3 Identify the slope and y-intercept, given the equation y = −​  _  ​ x − 4. 4 3 Solution As the line is in y = mx + b form, the given line has a slope of m = −​  _ ​  . The y-intercept is b = −4. 4 Analysis The y-intercept is the point at which the line crosses the y-axis. On the y-axis, x = 0. We can always identify the y-intercept when the line is in slope-intercept form, as it will always equal b. Or, just substitute x = 0 and solve for y.

The Point-Slope Formula Given the slope and one point on a line, we can find the equation of the line using the point-slope formula.

y − y1 = m(x − x1)

This is an important formula, as it will be used in other areas of college algebra and often in calculus to find the equation of a tangent line. We need only one point and the slope of the line to use the formula. After substituting the slope and the coordinates of one point into the formula, we simplify it and write it in slope-intercept form.

CHAPTER 2  Equations and Inequalities

the point-slope formula  Given one point and the slope, the point-slope formula will lead to the equation of a line:

−3 − 4 m = ​  _ ​     0 − 3 −7 = ​  _ ​   −3 7 = ​  _ ​   3 7 _ Next, we use the point-slope formula with the slope of ​    ​ , and either point. Let’s pick the point (3, 4) for (x1, y1). 3 7 y − 4 = ​  _ ​  (x − 3) 3 7 7 Distribute the ​ _ ​  . y − 4 = ​  _ ​  x − 7  3 3 7 y = ​  _  ​ x − 3 3 7 In slope-intercept form, the equation is written as y = ​  _  ​ x − 3. 3 Analysis To prove that either point can be used, let us use the second point (0, −3) and see if we get the same equation.

7 y − (−3) = ​  _  ​ (x − 0) 3 7 y + 3 = ​  _ ​  x 3 7 y = ​  _ ​  x − 3 3 We see that the same line will be obtained using either point. This makes sense because we used both points to calculate the slope.

Vertical and Horizontal Lines The equations of vertical and horizontal lines do not require any of the preceding formulas, although we can use the formulas to prove that the equations are correct. The equation of a vertical line is given as

x = c

where c is a constant. The slope of a vertical line is undefined, and regardless of the y-value of any point on the line, the x-coordinate of the point will be c. Suppose that we want to find the equation of a line containing the following points: (−3, −5), (−3, 1), (−3, 3), and (−3, 5). First, we will find the slope. 2 5 − 3 = ​ __  ​   ​    m = ​ _________ −3 − (−3) 0 Zero in the denominator means that the slope is undefined and, therefore, we cannot use the point-slope formula. However, we can plot the points. Notice that all of the x-coordinates are the same and we find a vertical line through x = −3. See Figure 3. The equation of a horizontal line is given as

y = c

where c is a constant. The slope of a horizontal line is zero, and for any x-value of a point on the line, the y-coordinate will be c. Suppose we want to find the equation of a line that contains the following set of points: (−2, −2), (0, −2), (3, −2), and (5, −2). We can use the point-slope formula. First, we find the slope using any two points on the line.

Writing the Equations of Lines Parallel or Perpendicular to a Given Line As we have learned, determining whether two lines are parallel or perpendicular is a matter of finding the slopes. To write the equation of a line parallel or perpendicular to another line, we follow the same principles as we do for finding the equation of any line. After finding the slope, use the point-slope formula to write the equation of the new line.

How To…

Given an equation for a line, write the equation of a line parallel or perpendicular to it.

1.  Find the slope of the given line. The easiest way to do this is to write the equation in slope-intercept form. 2.  Use the slope and the given point with the point-slope formula. 3.  Simplify the line to slope-intercept form and compare the equation to the given line.

Example 15 Writing the Equation of a Line Parallel to a Given Line Passing Through a Given Point Write the equation of line parallel to a 5x + 3y = 1 and passing through the point (3, 5). Solution First, we will write the equation in slope-intercept form to find the slope.

5x + 3y = 1 3y = 5x + 1

5 1 y = −​  _  ​ x + ​  _ ​   3 3

5 1 The slope is m = −​  _  ​ . The y-intercept is ​ _ ​  , but that really does not enter into our problem, as the only thing we need 3 3 for two lines to be parallel is the same slope. The one exception is that if the y-intercepts are the same, then the two lines are the same line. The next step is to use this slope and the given point with the point-slope formula. 5 y − 5 = −​  _  ​ (x − 3) 3 5 y − 5 = −​  _ ​  x + 5 3 5 y = − ​  _ ​  x + 10 3 5 The equation of the line is y = −​  _ ​  x + 10.

5 4 y = ​  _  ​ x + ​  _ ​   3 3 5 We see that the slope is m = ​  _  ​ . This means that the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is the negative 3 3 reciprocal, or −​  _ ​ .

Figure 1  Credit: Kevin Dooley

Josh is hoping to get an A in his college algebra class. He has scores of 75, 82, 95, 91, and 94 on his first five tests. Only the final exam remains, and the maximum of points that can be earned is 100. Is it possible for Josh to end the course with an A? A simple linear equation will give Josh his answer. Many real-world applications can be modeled by linear equations. For example, a cell phone package may include a monthly service fee plus a charge per minute of talk-time; it costs a widget manufacturer a certain amount to produce x widgets per month plus monthly operating charges; a car rental company charges a daily fee plus an amount per mile driven. These are examples of applications we come across every day that are modeled by linear equations. In this section, we will set up and use linear equations to solve such problems.

Setting up a Linear Equation to Solve a Real-World Application To set up or model a linear equation to fit a real-world application, we must first determine the known quantities and define the unknown quantity as a variable. Then, we begin to interpret the words as mathematical expressions using mathematical symbols. Let us use the car rental example above. In this case, a known cost, such as $0.10/mi, is multiplied by an unknown quantity, the number of miles driven. Therefore, we can write 0.10x. This expression represents a variable cost because it changes according to the number of miles driven. If a quantity is independent of a variable, we usually just add or subtract it, according to the problem. As these amounts do not change, we call them fixed costs. Consider a car rental agency that charges $0.10/mi plus a daily fee of $50. We can use these quantities to model an equation that can be used to find the daily car rental cost C. C = 0.10x + 50 When dealing with real-world applications, there are certain expressions that we can translate directly into math. Table 1 lists some common verbal expressions and their equivalent mathematical expressions. Verbal One number exceeds another by a

How To…

Given a real-world problem, model a linear equation to fit it.

1.  Identify known quantities. 2.  Assign a variable to represent the unknown quantity. 3.  If there is more than one unknown quantity, find a way to write the second unknown in terms of the first. 4.  Write an equation interpreting the words as mathematical operations. 5.  Solve the equation. Be sure the solution can be explained in words, including the units of measure.

number as x + 17. The sum of the two numbers is 31. We usually interpret the word is as an equal sign. x + (x + 17) = 31



2x + 17 = 31

Example 2

Setting Up a Linear Equation to Solve a Real-World Application

There are two cell phone companies that offer different packages. Company A charges a monthly service fee of $34 plus $.05/min talk-time. Company B charges a monthly service fee of $40 plus $.04/min talk-time. a.  Write a linear equation that models the packages offered by both companies. b.  If the average number of minutes used each month is 1,160, which company offers the better plan? c.  If the average number of minutes used each month is 420, which company offers the better plan? d.  How many minutes of talk-time would yield equal monthly statements from both companies? Solution

a. The model for Company A can be written as A = 0.05x + 34. This includes the variable cost of 0.05x plus the monthly service charge of $34. Company B’s package charges a higher monthly fee of $40, but a lower variable cost of 0.04x. Company B’s model can be written as B = 0.04x + $40. b. If the average number of minutes used each month is 1,160, we have the following: Company A = 0.05(1,160) + 34

= 58 + 34



= 92

Company B = 0.04(1,160) + 40

= 46.4 + 40



= 86.4 So, Company B offers the lower monthly cost of $86.40 as compared with the $92 monthly cost offered by Company A when the average number of minutes used each month is 1,160.

CHAPTER 2  Equations and Inequalities

c.  If the average number of minutes used each month is 420, we have the following: Company A = 0.05(420) + 34

= 21 + 34



= 55

Company B = 0.04(420) + 40

= 16.8 + 40



= 56.8 If the average number of minutes used each month is 420, then Company A offers a lower monthly cost of $55 compared to Company B’s monthly cost of $56.80.

d.  To answer the question of how many talk-time minutes would yield the same bill from both companies, we should think about the problem in terms of (x, y) coordinates: At what point are both the x-value and the y-value equal? We can find this point by setting the equations equal to each other and solving for x. 0.05x + 34 = 0.04x + 40 0.01x = 6 x = 600

Check the x-value in each equation.

0.05(600)  + 34 = 64 0.04(600)  + 40 = 64 Therefore, a monthly average of 600 talk-time minutes renders the plans equal. See Figure 2. y 90 80

Using a Formula to Solve a Real-World Application Many applications are solved using known formulas. The problem is stated, a formula is identified, the known quantities are substituted into the formula, the equation is solved for the unknown, and the problem’s question is answered. Typically, these problems involve two equations representing two trips, two investments, two areas, and so on. Examples of formulas include the area of a rectangular region, A = LW; the perimeter of a rectangle, P = 2L + 2W; and the volume of a rectangular solid, V = LWH. When there are two unknowns, we find a way to write one in terms of the other because we can solve for only one variable at a time.

Example 3

Solving an Application Using a Formula

It takes Andrew 30 min to drive to work in the morning. He drives home using the same route, but it takes 10 min longer, and he averages 10 mi/h less than in the morning. How far does Andrew drive to work?

SECTION 2.3  Models and Applications Solution This is a distance problem, so we can use the formula d = rt, where distance equals rate multiplied by time.

Note that when rate is given in mi/h, time must be expressed in hours. Consistent units of measurement are key to obtaining a correct solution. 1 First, we identify the known and unknown quantities. Andrew’s morning drive to work takes 30 min, or ​ _  ​h   at 2 2 _ rate r. His drive home takes 40 min, or ​    ​h, and his speed averages 10 mi/h less than the morning drive.

Solving a Perimeter Problem

The perimeter of a rectangular outdoor patio is 54 ft. The length is 3 ft greater than the width. What are the dimensions of the patio? Solution The perimeter formula is standard: P = 2L + 2W. We have two unknown quantities, length and width. However, we can write the length in terms of the width as L = W + 3. Substitute the perimeter value and the expression for length into the formula. It is often helpful to make a sketch and label the sides as in Figure 3. W L=W+3 Figure 3

Now we can solve for the width and then calculate the length. P = 2L + 2W



54  = 2(W + 3) + 2W 54  = 2W + 6 + 2W 54  = 4W + 6 48  = 4W 12  = W (12  + 3) = L 15  = L The dimensions are L = 15 ft and W = 12 ft.

Example 5

Solving an Area Problem

The perimeter of a tablet of graph paper is 48 in.2. The length is 6 in. more than the width. Find the area of the graph paper. Solution The standard formula for area is A = LW; however, we will solve the problem using the perimeter formula. The reason we use the perimeter formula is because we know enough information about the perimeter that the formula will allow us to solve for one of the unknowns. As both perimeter and area use length and width as dimensions, they are often used together to solve a problem such as this one.

We know that the length is 6 in. more than the width, so we can write length as L = W + 6. Substitute the value of the perimeter and the expression for length into the perimeter formula and find the length.

P = 2L + 2W

48  = 2(W + 6) + 2W 48  = 2W + 12 + 2W 48  = 4W + 12 36  = 4W 9  = W (9  + 6) = L 15  = L

SECTION 2.3  Models and Applications

Now, we find the area given the dimensions of L = 15 in. and W = 9 in.

A = LW



A = 15(9)



= 135 in.2

The area is 135 in.2.

Example 6

Solving a Volume Problem

Find the dimensions of a shipping box given that the length is twice the width, the height is 8 inches, and the volume is 1,600 in 3. Solution The formula for the volume of a box is given as V = LWH, the product of length, width, and height. We are

given that L = 2W, and H = 8. The volume is 1,600 cubic inches.

V = LWH



1,600  = (2W)W(8) 1,600  = 16W2 100  = W2 10  = W The dimensions are L = 20 in., W = 10 in., and H = 8 in.

SECTION 2.4  Complex Numbers

Learning Objectives In this section you will: • Add and subtract complex numbers. • Multiply and divide complex numbers. • Solve quadratic equations with complex numbers

2.4  Complex Numbers

Figure 1

Discovered by Benoit Mandelbrot around 1980, the Mandelbrot Set is one of the most recognizable fractal images. The image is built on the theory of self-similarity and the operation of iteration. Zooming in on a fractal image brings many surprises, particularly in the high level of repetition of detail that appears as magnification increases. The equation that generates this image turns out to be rather simple. In order to better understand it, we need to become familiar with a new set of numbers. Keep in mind that the study of mathematics continuously builds upon itself. Negative integers, for example, fill a void left by the set of positive integers. The set of rational numbers, in turn, fills a void left by the set of integers. The set of real numbers fills a void left by the set of rational numbers. Not surprisingly, the set of real numbers has voids as well. In this section, we will explore a set of numbers that fills voids in the set of real numbers and find out how to work within it.

Expressing Square Roots of Negative Numbers as Multiples of i We know how to find the square root of any positive real number. In a similar way, we can find the square root of any negative number. The difference is that the root is not real. If the value in the radicand is negative, the root is said to be an imaginary number. The imaginary number i is defined as the square root of −1. —

​ √ −1 ​  = i So, using properties of radicals, — 2 ​​ ​  = −1 i2 = ​​ ​√ −1 ​   We can write the square root of any negative number as a multiple of i. Consider the square root of −49. —

—

= ​√ 49 ⋅ (−1) ​  ​ √ −49 ​  

—

—

​ −1 ​  = ​√ 49 ​ √

= 7i We use 7i and not −7i because the principal root of 49 is the positive root. A complex number is the sum of a real number and an imaginary number. A complex number is expressed in standard form when written —a + bi where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part. For example, 5 + 2i is a complex number. So, too, is 3 + 4i​√ 3 ​ . 5 + 2i Real part Imaginary part Imaginary numbers differ from real numbers in that a squared imaginary number produces a negative real number. Recall that when a positive real number is squared, the result is a positive real number and when a negative real number is squared, the result is also a positive real number. Complex numbers consist of real and imaginary numbers.

CHAPTER 2  Equations and Inequalities

imaginary and complex numbers  A complex number is a number of the form a + bi where • a is the real part of the complex number. • b is the imaginary part of the complex number. If b = 0, then a + bi is a real number. If a = 0 and b is not equal to 0, the complex number is called a pure imaginary number. An imaginary number is an even root of a negative number.

Plotting a Complex Number on the Complex Plane We cannot plot complex numbers on a number line as we might real numbers. However, we can still represent them graphically. To represent a complex number, we need to address the two components of the number. We use the complex plane, which is a coordinate system in which the horizontal axis represents the real component and the vertical axis represents the imaginary component. Complex numbers are the points on the plane, expressed as ordered pairs (a, b), where a represents the coordinate for the horizontal axis and b represents the coordinate for the vertical axis. Let’s consider the number −2 + 3i. The real part of the complex number is −2 and the imaginary part is 3. We plot the ordered pair (−2, 3) to represent the complex number −2 + 3i, as shown in Figure 2. y

Adding and Subtracting Complex Numbers Just as with real numbers, we can perform arithmetic operations on complex numbers. To add or subtract complex numbers, we combine the real parts and then combine the imaginary parts.

complex numbers: addition and subtraction  Adding complex numbers: (a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c) + (b + d)i Subtracting complex numbers: (a + bi) − (c + di) = (a − c) + (b − d)i

How To…

Given two complex numbers, find the sum or difference.

1.  Identify the real and imaginary parts of each number. 2.  Add or subtract the real parts. 3.  Add or subtract the imaginary parts.

CHAPTER 2  Equations and Inequalities Solution We add the real parts and add the imaginary parts.

a.  (3 − 4i) + (2 + 5i) = 3 − 4i + 2 + 5i

= 3 + 2 + (−4i) + 5i



= (3 + 2) + (−4 + 5)i



= 5 + i b.  (−5 + 7i) − (−11 + 2i) = −5 + 7i + 11 − 2i

= (−5 + 11) + (7 − 2)i



= 6 + 5i

Try It #3 Subtract 2 + 5i from 3 − 4i.

Multiplying Complex Numbers Multiplying complex numbers is much like multiplying binomials. The major difference is that we work with the real and imaginary parts separately.

Multiplying a Complex Number by a Real Number Lets begin by multiplying a complex number by a real number. We distribute the real number just as we would with a binomial. Consider, for example, 3(6 + 2i):

3(6 + 2i) = (3 ∙ 6) + (3 ∙ 2i) Distribute. = 18 + 6i Simplify.

How To…

Given a complex number and a real number, multiply to find the product.

1.  Use the distributive property. 2.  Simplify.

Example 4

1 Find the product: ​ _ ​  (5 − 2i). 2

Multiplying Complex Numbers Together Now, let’s multiply two complex numbers. We can use either the distributive property or more specifically the FOIL method because we are dealing with binomials. Recall that FOIL is an acronym for multiplying First, Inner, Outer, and Last terms together. The difference with complex numbers is that when we get a squared term, i2, it equals −1. (a + bi)(c + di) = ac + adi + bci + bdi2 = ac + adi + bci − bd = (ac − bd) + (ad + bc)i

i2 = −1 Group real terms and imaginary terms.

How To…

Given two complex numbers, multiply to find the product.

1.  Use the distributive property or the FOIL method. 2.  Remember that i2 = −1. 3.  Group together the real terms and the imaginary terms

Example 5

Multiplying a Complex Number by a Complex Number

Multiply: (4 + 3i)(2 − 5i). Solution



(4 + 3i)(2 − 5i) = 4(2) − 4(5i) + 3i(2) − (3i)(5i) = 8 − 20i + 6i − 15(i2) = (8 + 15) + (−20 + 6)i = 23 − 14i

Try It #5 Multiply: (3 − 4i)(2 + 3i).

Dividing Complex Numbers Dividing two complex numbers is more complicated than adding, subtracting, or multiplying because we cannot divide by an imaginary number, meaning that any fraction must have a real-number denominator to write the answer in standard form a + bi. We need to find a term by which we can multiply the numerator and the denominator that will eliminate the imaginary portion of the denominator so that we end up with a real number as the denominator. This term is called the complex conjugate of the denominator, which is found by changing the sign of the imaginary part of the complex number. In other words, the complex conjugate of a + bi is a − bi. For example, the product of a + bi and a − bi is (a + bi)(a − bi) = a2 − abi + abi − b2i2 = a2 + b2 The result is a real number. Note that complex conjugates have an opposite relationship: The complex conjugate of a + bi is a − bi, and the complex conjugate of a − bi is a + bi. Further, when a quadratic equation with real coefficients has complex solutions, the solutions are always complex conjugates of one another. Suppose we want to divide c + di by a + bi, where neither a nor b equals zero. We first write the division as a fraction, then find the complex conjugate of the denominator, and multiply. c + di  ​ where a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0 ​ ______  a + bi Multiply the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator. (a − bi) _____________ (c + di)(a − bi) (c + di) _______ ⋅ ​   ​   = ​    ​ ​ _______ ​  (a + bi) (a − bi) (a + bi)(a − bi) Apply the distributive property. Simplify, remembering that i2 = −1.

CHAPTER 2  Equations and Inequalities

the complex conjugate The complex conjugate of a complex number a + bi is a − bi. It is found by changing the sign of the imaginary part of the complex number. The real part of the number is left unchanged. • When a complex number is multiplied by its complex conjugate, the result is a real number. • When a complex number is added to its complex conjugate, the result is a real number.

The complex conjugate is a − bi, or 0 + ​  _  ​ i. 2 2 1 This can be written simply as ​ _  ​ i. 2 Analysis Although we have seen that we can find the complex conjugate of an imaginary number, in practice we generally find the complex conjugates of only complex numbers with both a real and an imaginary component. To obtain a real number from an imaginary number, we can simply multiply by i.

SECTION 2.4  Complex Numbers

Simplifying Powers of i The powers of i are cyclic. Let’s look at what happens when we raise i to increasing powers. i1 = i i2 = −1 i3 = i2 ⋅ i = −1 ⋅ i = −i i4 = i3 ⋅ i = −i ⋅ i = −i2 = − (−1) = 1 i5 = i4 ⋅ i = 1 ⋅ i = i We can see that when we get to the fifth power of i, it is equal to the first power. As we continue to multiply i by increasing powers, we will see a cycle of four. Let’s examine the next four powers of i. i6 = i5 ⋅ i = i ⋅ i = i2 = −1 i7 = i6 ⋅ i = i2 ⋅ i = i3 = −i i8 = i7 ⋅ i = i3 ⋅ i = i4 = 1 i9 = i8 ⋅ i = i4 ⋅ i = i5 = i The cycle is repeated continuously: i, −1, − i, 1, every four powers.

Example 8

Simplifying Powers of i

Evaluate: i . 35

Solution Since i4 = 1, we can simplify the problem by factoring out as many factors of i4 as possible. To do so, first

determine how many times 4 goes into 35: 35 = 4 ⋅ 8 + 3.

i35 = i4 ⋅ 8 + 3 = i4 ⋅ 8 ⋅ i3 = ​(i4)​​ ⋅ i3 = 18 ⋅ i3 = i3 = −i

Can we write i35 in other helpful ways?

As we saw in Example 8, we reduced i35 to i3 by dividing the exponent by 4 and using the remainder to find the simplified form. But perhaps another factorization of i35 may be more useful. Table 1 shows some other possible factorizations. Factorization of i35

In this section, we will learn how to solve problems such as this using four different methods.

Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring An equation containing a second-degree polynomial is called a quadratic equation. For example, equations such as 2x2 + 3x − 1 = 0 and x2 − 4 = 0 are quadratic equations. They are used in countless ways in the fields of engineering, architecture, finance, biological science, and, of course, mathematics. Often the easiest method of solving a quadratic equation is factoring. Factoring means finding expressions that can be multiplied together to give the expression on one side of the equation. If a quadratic equation can be factored, it is written as a product of linear terms. Solving by factoring depends on the zero-product property, which states that if a ⋅ b = 0, then a = 0 or b = 0, where a and b are real numbers or algebraic expressions. In other words, if the product of two numbers or two expressions equals zero, then one of the numbers or one of the expressions must equal zero because zero multiplied by anything equals zero. Multiplying the factors expands the equation to a string of terms separated by plus or minus signs. So, in that sense, the operation of multiplication undoes the operation of factoring. For example, expand the factored expression (x − 2)(x + 3) by multiplying the two factors together. (x − 2)(x + 3) = x2 + 3x − 2x − 6

= x2 + x − 6

The product is a quadratic expression. Set equal to zero, x2 + x − 6 = 0 is a quadratic equation. If we were to factor the equation, we would get back the factors we multiplied. The process of factoring a quadratic equation depends on the leading coefficient, whether it is 1 or another integer. We will look at both situations; but first, we want to confirm that the equation is written in standard form, ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are real numbers, and a ≠ 0. The equation x2 + x − 6 = 0 is in standard form. We can use the zero-product property to solve quadratic equations in which we first have to factor out the greatest common factor (GCF ), and for equations that have special factoring formulas as well, such as the difference of squares, both of which we will see later in this section.

CHAPTER 2  Equations and Inequalities

the zero-product property and quadratic equations  The zero-product property states If a ⋅ b = 0, then a = 0 or b = 0, where a and b are real numbers or algebraic expressions. A quadratic equation is an equation containing a second-degree polynomial; for example ax 2 + bx + c = 0 where a, b, and c are real numbers, and if a ≠ 0, it is in standard form.

Solving Quadratics with a Leading Coefficient of 1 In the quadratic equation x2 + x − 6 = 0, the leading coefficient, or the coefficient of x2, is 1. We have one method of factoring quadratic equations in this form.

How To…

Given a quadratic equation with the leading coefficient of 1, factor it.

1.  Find two numbers whose product equals c and whose sum equals b. 2.  Use those numbers to write two factors of the form (x + k) or (x − k), where k is one of the numbers found in step 1.

Use the numbers exactly as they are. In other words, if the two numbers are 1 and −2, the factors are (x + 1)(x − 2).

3.  Solve using the zero-product property by setting each factor equal to zero and solving for the variable.

Example 1

Factoring and Solving a Quadratic with Leading Coefficient of 1

Factor and solve the equation: x 2 + x − 6 = 0. Solution To factor x 2 + x − 6 = 0, we look for two numbers whose product equals −6 and whose sum equals 1. Begin

by looking at the possible factors of −6.

1 ⋅ (−6) (−6) ⋅ 1 2 ⋅ (−3) 3 ⋅ (−2)

The last pair, 3 ⋅ (−2) sums to 1, so these are the numbers. Note that only one pair of numbers will work. Then, write the factors. (x − 2)(x + 3) = 0 To solve this equation, we use the zero-product property. Set each factor equal to zero and solve. (x − 2)(x + 3) = 0 (x − 2) = 0 x = 2 (x + 3) = 0 x = −3 The two solutions are 2 and −3. We can see how the solutions relate to the graph in Figure 2. The solutions are the x-intercepts of y = x 2 + x − 6 = 0. x2 + x − 6 = 0

Using the Zero-Product Property to Solve a Quadratic Equation Written as the Difference of Squares

Solve the difference of squares equation using the zero-product property: x 2 − 9 = 0. Solution Recognizing that the equation represents the difference of squares, we can write the two factors by taking

the square root of each term, using a minus sign as the operator in one factor and a plus sign as the operator in the other. Solve using the zero-factor property. x 2 − 9 = 0 (x − 3)(x + 3) = 0 (x − 3) = 0 x = 3 (x + 3) = 0 x = −3 The solutions are 3 and −3.

Factoring and Solving a Quadratic Equation of Higher Order When the leading coefficient is not 1, we factor a quadratic equation using the method called grouping, which requires four terms. With the equation in standard form, let’s review the grouping procedures: 1. With the quadratic in standard form, ax2 + bx + c = 0, multiply a ⋅ c. 2. Find two numbers whose product equals ac and whose sum equals b. 3. Rewrite the equation replacing the bx term with two terms using the numbers found in step 1 as coefficients of x. 4. Factor the first two terms and then factor the last two terms. The expressions in parentheses must be exactly the same to use grouping. 5. Factor out the expression in parentheses. 6. Set the expressions equal to zero and solve for the variable.

The only pair of factors that sums to 15 is 3 + 12. Rewrite the equation replacing the b term, 15x, with two terms using 3 and 12 as coefficients of x. Factor the first two terms, and then factor the last two terms. 4x 2 + 3x + 12x + 9 = 0 x(4x + 3) + 3(4x + 3) = 0 (4x + 3)(x + 3) = 0 Solve using the zero-product property.

Solving a Higher Degree Quadratic Equation by Factoring

Solve the equation by factoring: −3x 3 − 5x 2 − 2x = 0. Solution This equation does not look like a quadratic, as the highest power is 3, not 2. Recall that the first thing we

want to do when solving any equation is to factor out the GCF, if one exists. And it does here. We can factor out −x from all of the terms and then proceed with grouping.

−3x 3 − 5x 2 − 2x = 0 −x(3x 2 + 5x + 2) = 0

Use grouping on the expression in parentheses.

−x(3x 2 + 3x + 2x + 2) = 0 −x[3x(x + 1) + 2(x + 1)] = 0 −x(3x + 2)(x + 1) = 0

Using the Square Root Property When there is no linear term in the equation, another method of solving a quadratic equation is by using the square root property, in which we isolate the x 2 term and take the square root of the number on the other side of the equals sign. Keep in mind that sometimes we may have to manipulate the equation to isolate the x2 term so that the square root property can be used.

the square root property  With the x 2 term isolated, the square root property states that: —

where k is a nonzero real number.

​ k  ​ if x 2 = k, then x = ± √

How To…

Given a quadratic equation with an x 2 term but no x term, use the square root property to solve it.

1.  Isolate the x 2 term on one side of the equal sign. 2.  Take the square root of both sides of the equation, putting a ± sign before the expression on the side opposite the

squared term. 3.  Simplify the numbers on the side with the ± sign.

Completing the Square Not all quadratic equations can be factored or can be solved in their original form using the square root property. In these cases, we may use a method for solving a quadratic equation known as completing the square. Using this method, we add or subtract terms to both sides of the equation until we have a perfect square trinomial on one side of the equal sign. We then apply the square root property. To complete the square, the leading coefficient, a, must equal 1. If it does not, then divide the entire equation by a. Then, we can use the following procedures to solve a quadratic equation by completing the square. We will use the example x2 + 4x + 1 = 0 to illustrate each step. 1. Given a quadratic equation that cannot be factored, and with a = 1, first add or subtract the constant term to the right sign of the equal sign. x 2 + 4x = −1 1 2. Multiply the b term by ​ _ ​   and square it. 2 1 ​  _ ​  (4)  = 2 2 22 = 4 1 2 3. Add ​​  ​  _ ​  b  ​​ ​to both sides of the equal sign and simplify the right side. We have 2 x 2 + 4x + 4 = −1 + 4 x 2 + 4x + 4 = 3

Using the Quadratic Formula The fourth method of solving a quadratic equation is by using the quadratic formula, a formula that will solve all quadratic equations. Although the quadratic formula works on any quadratic equation in standard form, it is easy to make errors in substituting the values into the formula. Pay close attention when substituting, and use parentheses when inserting a negative number. We can derive the quadratic formula by completing the square. We will assume that the leading coefficient is positive; if it is negative, we can multiply the equation by −1 and obtain a positive a. Given ax 2 + bx + c = 0, a ≠ 0, we will complete the square as follows: 1. First, move the constant term to the right side of the equal sign: ax 2 + bx = −c



2. As we want the leading coefficient to equal 1, divide through by a: b c _ x 2 + ​  _ a  ​ x = − ​  a   ​ 1b 2 b2 1 ​   ​​  __ ​   ​​ ​  = ​  _2   ​to both sides of the equal sign: 3.

4. Next, write the left side as a perfect square. Find the common denominator of the right side and write it as a single fraction: b 2 b2 − 4ac ​​ x + ​  _   ​  ​​ ​  = ​  _  ​     2a 4a2

The Discriminant The quadratic formula not only generates the solutions to a quadratic equation, it tells us about the nature of the solutions when we consider the discriminant, or the expression under the radical, b2 − 4ac. The discriminant tells us whether the solutions are real numbers or complex numbers, and how many solutions of each type to expect.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem One of the most famous formulas in mathematics is the Pythagorean Theorem. It is based on a right triangle, and states the relationship among the lengths of the sides as a2 + b2 = c2, where a and b refer to the legs of a right triangle adjacent to the 90° angle, and c refers to the hypotenuse. It has immeasurable uses in architecture, engineering, the sciences, geometry, trigonometry, and algebra, and in everyday applications. We use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the length of one side of a triangle when we have the lengths of the other two. Because each of the terms is squared in the theorem, when we are solving for a side of a triangle, we have a quadratic equation. We can use the methods for solving quadratic equations that we learned in this section to solve for the missing side. The Pythagorean Theorem is given as

a2 + b2 = c2

where a and b refer to the legs of a right triangle adjacent to the 90° angle, and c refers to the hypotenuse, as shown in Figure 4.

2.6  Other Types of Equations We have solved linear equations, rational equations, and quadratic equations using several methods. However, there are many other types of equations, and we will investigate a few more types in this section. We will look at equations involving rational exponents, polynomial equations, radical equations, absolute value equations, equations in quadratic form, and some rational equations that can be transformed into quadratics. Solving any equation, however, employs the same basic algebraic rules. We will learn some new techniques as they apply to certain equations, but the algebra never changes.

We can solve equations in which a variable is raised to a rational exponent by raising both sides of the equation to the reciprocal of the exponent. The reason we raise the equation to the reciprocal of the exponent is because we want to eliminate the exponent on the variable term, and a number multiplied by its reciprocal equals 1. 2 3 1 For example, ​ _ ​   ​  ​  _ ​    ​  = 1, 3​ ​  _ ​    ​  = 1, and so on. 3 2 3

SECTION 2.6  Other Types of Equations

Solving Equations Using Factoring We have used factoring to solve quadratic equations, but it is a technique that we can use with many types of polynomial equations, which are equations that contain a string of terms including numerical coefficients and variables. When we are faced with an equation containing polynomials of degree higher than 2, we can often solve them by factoring.

polynomial equations  A polynomial of degree n is an expression of the type anx n + an − 1x n − 1 + ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ + a2x 2 + a1 x + a0 where n is a positive integer and an, … , a0 are real numbers and an ≠ 0. Setting the polynomial equal to zero gives a polynomial equation. The total number of solutions (real and complex) to a polynomial equation is equal to the highest exponent n.

Example 4

Solving a Polynomial by Factoring

Solve the polynomial by factoring: 5x 4 = 80x 2. Solution First, set the equation equal to zero. Then factor out what is common to both terms, the GCF.

5x 4 − 80x 2 = 0 5x 2(x 2 − 16) = 0 Notice that we have the difference of squares in the factor x 2 − 16, which we will continue to factor and obtain two solutions. The first term, 5x 2, generates, technically, two solutions as the exponent is 2, but they are the same solution. 5x 2 = 0

x 2 − 16 = 0

x = 0

(x − 4)(x + 4) = 0



x − 4 = 0  or  x + 4 = 0 x = 4  or

The solutions are 0 (double solution ), 4, and −4.

Analysis We can see the solutions on the graph in Figure 1. The x-coordinates of the points where the graph crosses the

x-axis are the solutions—the x-intercepts. Notice on the graph that at 0, the graph touches the x-axis and bounces back. It does not cross the x-axis. This is typical of double solutions. y 500 400 300 200 100 –5 –4 –3 –2 –1 –100 –200 –300 –400 –500

Solve a Polynomial by Grouping

Solve a polynomial by grouping: x 3 + x 2 − 9x − 9 = 0. Solution This polynomial consists of 4 terms, which we can solve by grouping. Grouping procedures require factoring

the first two terms and then factoring the last two terms. If the factors in the parentheses are identical, we can continue the process and solve, unless more factoring is suggested.



x 3 + x 2 − 9x − 9 = 0



x 2(x + 1) − 9(x + 1) = 0

(x 2 − 9)(x + 1) = 0 The grouping process ends here, as we can factor x 2 − 9 using the difference of squares formula. (x 2 − 9)(x + 1) = 0 (x − 3)(x + 3)(x + 1) = 0

x − 3 = 0

Analysis We looked at solving quadratic equations by factoring when the leading coefficient is 1. When the leading coefficient is not 1, we solved by grouping. Grouping requires four terms, which we obtained by splitting the linear term of quadratic equations. We can also use grouping for some polynomials of degree higher than 2, as we saw here, since there were already four terms.

Solving Radical Equations Radical equations are equations that contain variables in the radicand (the expression under a radical symbol), such as —

​ = x √ 3x +  18 ​   —

= x − 3 ​ √ x +  3 ​   —

—

− ​√ x −  3 ​   = 2 ​ √ x +  5 ​   Radical equations may have one or more radical terms, and are solved by eliminating each radical, one at a time. We have to be careful when solving radical equations, as it is not unusual to find extraneous solutions, roots that are not, in fact, solutions to the equation. These solutions are not due to a mistake in the solving method, but result from the process of raising both sides of an equation to a power. However, checking each answer in the original equation will confirm the true solutions.

SECTION 2.6  Other Types of Equations

radical equations An equation containing terms with a variable in the radicand is called a radical equation.

How To…

Given a radical equation, solve it.

1.  Isolate the radical expression on one side of the equal sign. Put all remaining terms on the other side. 2.  If the radical is a square root, then square both sides of the equation. If it is a cube root, then raise both sides of the

equation to the third power. In other words, for an nth root radical, raise both sides to the nth power. Doing so eliminates the radical symbol. 3.  Solve the remaining equation. 4.  If a radical term still remains, repeat steps 1–2. 5.  Confirm solutions by substituting them into the original equation.

2x = −2

x = 7



x = −1

Knowing how to solve problems involving absolute value functions is useful. For example, we may need to identify numbers or points on a line that are at a specified distance from a given reference point.

absolute value equations The absolute value of x is written as |x|. It has the following properties: If x ≥ 0, then |x| = x. If x < 0, then |x| = −x. For real numbers A and B, an equation of the form |A| = B, with B ≥ 0, will have solutions when A = B or A = −B. If B < 0, the equation |A| = B has no solution. An absolute value equation in the form |ax + b| = c has the following properties: If c < 0, |ax + b| = c has no solution. If c = 0, |ax + b| = c has one solution. If c > 0, |ax + b| = c has two solutions.

How To…

Given an absolute value equation, solve it.

1.  Isolate the absolute value expression on one side of the equal sign. 2.  If c > 0, write and solve two equations: ax + b = c and ax + b = − c.

Solving Other Types of Equations There are many other types of equations in addition to the ones we have discussed so far. We will see more of them throughout the text. Here, we will discuss equations that are in quadratic form, and rational equations that result in a quadratic.

Solving Equations in Quadratic Form Equations in quadratic form are equations with three terms. The first term has a power other than 2. The middle term has an exponent that is one-half the exponent of the leading term. The third term is a constant. We can solve equations in this form as if they were quadratic. A few examples of these equations include x 4 − 5x 2 + 4 = 0, x 6 + 7x 3 − 8 = 0, 2 ​  _  ​ 

1 ​  _  ​ 

and ​x​3 ​  + ​4x​3 ​  + 2 = 0. In each one, doubling the exponent of the middle term equals the exponent on the leading term. We can solve these equations by substituting a variable for the middle term.

quadratic form If the exponent on the middle term is one-half of the exponent on the leading term, we have an equation in quadratic form, which we can solve as if it were a quadratic. We substitute a variable for the middle term to solve equations in quadratic form.

How To…

Given an equation quadratic in form, solve it.

1.  Identify the exponent on the leading term and determine whether it is double the exponent on the middle term. 2.  If it is, substitute a variable, such as u, for the variable portion of the middle term. 3.  Rewrite the equation so that it takes on the standard form of a quadratic. 4.  Solve using one of the usual methods for solving a quadratic. 5.  Replace the substitution variable with the original term. 6.  Solve the remaining equation.

Solve this fourth-degree equation: 3x 4 − 2x 2 − 1 = 0. Solution This equation fits the main criteria, that the power on the leading term is double the power on the middle

Solution This equation contains a binomial in place of the single variable. The tendency is to expand what is presented. However, recognizing that it fits the criteria for being in quadratic form makes all the difference in the solving process. First, make a substitution, letting u = x + 2. Then rewrite the equation in u.



u2 + 11u − 12 = 0

Solving Rational Equations Resulting in a Quadratic Earlier, we solved rational equations. Sometimes, solving a rational equation results in a quadratic. When this happens, we continue the solution by simplifying the quadratic equation by one of the methods we have seen. It may turn out that there is no solution.

further. However, x2 −1 = (x + 1)(x − 1). Then, the LCD is (x + 1)(x − 1). Next, we multiply the whole equation by the LCD.

It is not easy to make the honor role at most top universities. Suppose students were required to carry a course load of at least 12 credit hours and maintain a grade point average of 3.5 or above. How could these honor roll requirements be expressed mathematically? In this section, we will explore various ways to express different sets of numbers, inequalities, and absolute value inequalities.

Using Interval Notation Indicating the solution to an inequality such as x ≥ 4 can be achieved in several ways. We can use a number line as shown in Figure 2. The blue ray begins at x = 4 and, as indicated by the arrowhead, continues to infinity, which illustrates that the solution set includes all real numbers greater than or equal to 4. 0

We can use set-builder notation: {x|x ≥ 4}, which translates to “all real numbers x such that x is greater than or equal to 4.” Notice that braces are used to indicate a set. The third method is interval notation, in which solution sets are indicated with parentheses or brackets. The solutions to x ≥ 4 are represented as [4, ∞). This is perhaps the most useful method, as it applies to concepts studied later in this course and to other higher-level math courses. The main concept to remember is that parentheses represent solutions greater or less than the number, and brackets represent solutions that are greater than or equal to or less than or equal to the number. Use parentheses to represent infinity or negative infinity, since positive and negative infinity are not numbers in the usual sense of the word and, therefore, cannot be “equaled.” A few examples of an interval, or a set of numbers in which a solution falls, are [−2, 6), or all numbers between −2 and 6, including −2, but not including 6; (−1, 0), all real numbers between, but not including −1 and 0; and (−∞, 1], all real numbers less than and including 1.

Using Interval Notation to Express All Real Numbers Greater Than or Equal to a

Use interval notation to indicate all real numbers greater than or equal to −2. Solution Use a bracket on the left of −2 and parentheses after infinity: [−2, ∞). The bracket indicates that −2 is

included in the set with all real numbers greater than −2 to infinity.

Try It #1 Use interval notation to indicate all real numbers between and including −3 and 5.

Example 2 Using Interval Notation to Express All Real Numbers Less Than or Equal to a or Greater Than or Equal to b

Write the interval expressing all real numbers less than or equal to −1 or greater than or equal to 1. Solution We have to write two intervals for this example. The first interval must indicate all real numbers less than

or equal to 1. So, this interval begins at − ∞ and ends at −1, which is written as (−∞, −1].

The second interval must show all real numbers greater than or equal to 1, which is written as [1, ∞). However, we want to combine these two sets. We accomplish this by inserting the union symbol, ∪ , between the two intervals. (−∞, −1] ∪ [1, ∞)

Try It #2 Express all real numbers less than −2 or greater than or equal to 3 in interval notation.

Using the Properties of Inequalities When we work with inequalities, we can usually treat them similarly to but not exactly as we treat equalities. We can use the addition property and the multiplication property to help us solve them. The one exception is when we multiply or divide by a negative number; doing so reverses the inequality symbol.

properties of inequalities Addition Property If a < b, then a + c < b + c. Multiplication Property If a < b and c > 0, then ac < bc. If a < b and c < 0, then ac > bc. These properties also apply to a ≤ b, a > b, and a ≥ b.

Add 15 to both sides.

Solving Absolute Value Inequalities As we know, the absolute value of a quantity is a positive number or zero. From the origin, a point located at (−x, 0) has an absolute value of x, as it is x units away. Consider absolute value as the distance from one point to another point. Regardless of direction, positive or negative, the distance between the two points is represented as a positive number or zero. An absolute value inequality is an equation of the form |A| < B, |A| ≤ B, |A| > B, or |A| ≥ B, Where A, and sometimes B, represents an algebraic expression dependent on a variable x. Solving the inequality means finding the set of all x -values that satisfy the problem. Usually this set will be an interval or the union of two intervals and will include a range of values.

SECTION 2.7  Linear Inequalities and Absolute Value Inequalities

There are two basic approaches to solving absolute value inequalities: graphical and algebraic. The advantage of the graphical approach is we can read the solution by interpreting the graphs of two equations. The advantage of the algebraic approach is that solutions are exact, as precise solutions are sometimes difficult to read from a graph. Suppose we want to know all possible returns on an investment if we could earn some amount of money within $200 of $600. We can solve algebraically for the set of x-values such that the distance between x and 600 is less than or equal to 200. We represent the distance between x and 600 as |x − 600|, and therefore, |x − 600| ≤ 200 or −200 ≤ x − 600 ≤ 200 −200 + 600 ≤ x − 600 + 600 ≤ 200 + 600 400 ≤ x ≤ 800 This means our returns would be between $400 and $800. To solve absolute value inequalities, just as with absolute value equations, we write two inequalities and then solve them independently.

absolute value inequalities For an algebraic expression X, and k > 0, an absolute value inequality is an inequality of the form

|X| < k is equivalent to − k < X < k



|X| > k is equivalent to X k

These statements also apply to |X| ≤ k and |X| ≥ k.

Example 9

Determining a Number within a Prescribed Distance

Describe all values x within a distance of 4 from the number 5. Solution We want the distance between x and 5 to be less than or equal to 4. We can draw a number line, such as in Figure 4, to represent the condition to be satisfied. 4

4 5 Figure 4

The distance from x to 5 can be represented using an absolute value symbol, |x − 5|. Write the values of x that satisfy the condition as an absolute value inequality. |x − 5| ≤ 4 We need to write two inequalities as there are always two solutions to an absolute value equation.

x − 5 ≤ 4

and

x − 5 ≥ − 4

x ≤ 9

x≥1

If the solution set is x ≤ 9 and x ≥ 1, then the solution set is an interval including all real numbers between and including 1 and 9. So |x − 5| ≤ 4 is equivalent to [1, 9] in interval notation.

Key Concepts 2.1  The Rectangular Coordinate Systems and Graphs • We can locate, or plot, points in the Cartesian coordinate system using ordered pairs, which are defined as displacement from the x-axis and displacement from the y-axis. See Example 1. • An equation can be graphed in the plane by creating a table of values and plotting points. See Example 2. • Using a graphing calculator or a computer program makes graphing equations faster and more accurate. Equations usually have to be entered in the form y =  . See Example 3. • Finding the x- and y-intercepts can define the graph of a line. These are the points where the graph crosses the axes. See Example 4. • The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean Theorem and is used to find the length of a line segment. See Example 5 and Example 6. • The midpoint formula provides a method of finding the coordinates of the midpoint dividing the sum of the x-coordinates and the sum of the y-coordinates of the endpoints by 2. See Example 7 and Example 8. 2.2  Linear Equations in One Variable • We can solve linear equations in one variable in the form ax + b = 0 using standard algebraic properties. See Example 1 and Example 2. • A rational expression is a quotient of two polynomials. We use the LCD to clear the fractions from an equation. See Example 3 and Example 4. • All solutions to a rational equation should be verified within the original equation to avoid an undefined term, or zero in the denominator. See Example 5, Example 6, and Example 7. • Given two points, we can find the slope of a line using the slope formula. See Example 8.

CHAPTER 2  review

• We can identify the slope and y-intercept of an equation in slope-intercept form. See Example 9. • We can find the equation of a line given the slope and a point. See Example 10. • We can also find the equation of a line given two points. Find the slope and use the point-slope formula. See Example 11. • The standard form of a line has no fractions. See Example 12. • Horizontal lines have a slope of zero and are defined as y = c, where c is a constant. • Vertical lines have an undefined slope (zero in the denominator), and are defined as x = c, where c is a constant. See Example 13. • Parallel lines have the same slope and different y-intercepts. See Example 14 and Example 15. • Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other unless one is horizontal and the other is vertical. See Example 16.

2.3  Models and Applications • A linear equation can be used to solve for an unknown in a number problem. See Example 1. • Applications can be written as mathematical problems by identifying known quantities and assigning a variable to unknown quantities. See Example 2. • There are many known formulas that can be used to solve applications. Distance problems, for example, are solved using the d = rt formula. See Example 3. • Many geometry problems are solved using the perimeter formula P = 2L + 2W, the area formula A = LW, or the volume formula V = LWH. See Example 4, Example 5, and Example 6. 2.4  Complex Numbers • The square root of any negative number can be written as a multiple of i. See Example 1. • To plot a complex number, we use two number lines, crossed to form the complex plane. The horizontal axis is the real axis, and the vertical axis is the imaginary axis. See Example 2. • Complex numbers can be added and subtracted by combining the real parts and combining the imaginary parts. See Example 3. • Complex numbers can be multiplied and divided. ◦◦ To multiply complex numbers, distribute just as with polynomials. See Example 4 and Example 5. ◦◦ To divide complex numbers, multiply both numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator to eliminate the complex number from the denominator. See Example 6 and Example 7. • The powers of i are cyclic, repeating every fourth one. See Example 8. 2.5  Quadratic Equations • Many quadratic equations can be solved by factoring when the equation has a leading coefficient of 1 or if the equation is a difference of squares. The zero-product property is then used to find solutions. See Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3. • Many quadratic equations with a leading coefficient other than 1 can be solved by factoring using the grouping method. See Example 4 and Example 5. • Another method for solving quadratics is the square root property. The variable is squared. We isolate the squared term and take the square root of both sides of the equation. The solution will yield a positive and negative solution. See Example 6 and Example 7. • Completing the square is a method of solving quadratic equations when the equation cannot be factored. See Example 8. • A highly dependable method for solving quadratic equations is the quadratic formula, based on the coefficients and the constant term in the equation. See Example 9 and Example 10. • The discriminant is used to indicate the nature of the roots that the quadratic equation will yield: real or complex, rational or irrational, and how many of each. See Example 11.

CHAPTER 2  Equations and Inequalities

• The Pythagorean Theorem, among the most famous theorems in history, is used to solve right-triangle problems and has applications in numerous fields. Solving for the length of one side of a right triangle requires solving a quadratic equation. See Example 12.

2.6  Other Types of Equations • Rational exponents can be rewritten several ways depending on what is most convenient for the problem. To solve, both sides of the equation are raised to a power that will render the exponent on the variable equal to 1. See Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3. • Factoring extends to higher-order polynomials when it involves factoring out the GCF or factoring by grouping. See Example 4 and Example 5. • We can solve radical equations by isolating the radical and raising both sides of the equation to a power that matches the index. See Example 6 and Example 7. • To solve absolute value equations, we need to write two equations, one for the positive value and one for the negative value. See Example 8. • Equations in quadratic form are easy to spot, as the exponent on the first term is double the exponent on the second term and the third term is a constant. We may also see a binomial in place of the single variable. We use substitution to solve. See Example 9 and Example 10. • Solving a rational equation may also lead to a quadratic equation or an equation in quadratic form. See Example 11. 2.7  Linear Inequalities and Absolute Value Inequalities • Interval notation is a method to indicate the solution set to an inequality. Highly applicable in calculus, it is a system of parentheses and brackets that indicate what numbers are included in a set and whether the endpoints are included as well. See Table 1 and Example 1 and Example 2. • Solving inequalities is similar to solving equations. The same algebraic rules apply, except for one: multiplying or dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality. See Example 3, Example 4, Example 5, and Example 6. • Compound inequalities often have three parts and can be rewritten as two independent inequalities. Solutions are given by boundary values, which are indicated as a beginning boundary or an ending boundary in the solutions to the two inequalities. See Example 7 and Example 8. • Absolute value inequalities will produce two solution sets due to the nature of absolute value. We solve by writing two equations: one equal to a positive value and one equal to a negative value. See Example 9 and Example 10. • Absolute value inequalities can also be solved by graphing. At least we can check the algebraic solutions by graphing, as we cannot depend on a visual for a precise solution. See Example 11.

Introduction Toward the end of the twentieth century, the values of stocks of Internet and technology companies rose dramatically. As a result, the Standard and Poor’s stock market average rose as well. Figure 1 tracks the value of that initial investment of just under $100 over the 40 years. It shows that an investment that was worth less than $500 until about 1995 skyrocketed up to about $1,100 by the beginning of 2000. That five-year period became known as the “dot-com bubble” because so many Internet startups were formed. As bubbles tend to do, though, the dot-com bubble eventually burst. Many companies grew too fast and then suddenly went out of business. The result caused the sharp decline represented on the graph beginning at the end of 2000. Notice, as we consider this example, that there is a definite relationship between the year and stock market average. For any year we choose, we can determine the corresponding value of the stock market average. In this chapter, we will explore these kinds of relationships and their properties.

CHAPTER 3  Functions

Learning Objectives In this section, you will: • Determine whether a relation represents a function. • Find the value of a function. • Determine whether a function is one-to-one. • Use the vertical line test to identify functions. • Graph the functions listed in the library of functions.

3.1  Functions and Function Notation A jetliner changes altitude as its distance from the starting point of a flight increases. The weight of a growing child increases with time. In each case, one quantity depends on another. There is a relationship between the two quantities that we can describe, analyze, and use to make predictions. In this section, we will analyze such relationships.

Determining Whether a Relation Represents a Function A relation is a set of ordered pairs. The set consisting of the first components of each ordered pair is called the domain and the set consisting of the second components of each ordered pair is called the range. Consider the following set of ordered pairs. The first numbers in each pair are the first five natural numbers. The second number in each pair is twice that of the first. {(1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 6), (4, 8), (5, 10)} The domain is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. The range is {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}. Note that each value in the domain is also known as an input value, or independent variable, and is often labeled with the lowercase letter x. Each value in the range is also known as an output value, or dependent variable, and is often labeled lowercase letter y. A function f is a relation that assigns a single element in the range to each element in the domain. In other words, no x-values are repeated. For our example that relates the first five natural numbers to numbers double their values, this relation is a function because each element in the domain, {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, is paired with exactly one element in the range, {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}. Now let’s consider the set of ordered pairs that relates the terms “even” and “odd” to the first five natural numbers. It would appear as {(odd, 1), (even, 2), (odd, 3), (even, 4), (odd, 5)} Notice that each element in the domain, {even, odd} is not paired with exactly one element in the range, {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. For example, the term “odd” corresponds to three values from the domain, {1, 3, 5} and the term “even” corresponds to two values from the range, {2, 4}. This violates the definition of a function, so this relation is not a function. Figure 1 compares relations that are functions and not functions. Relation is a Function

SECTION 3.1  Functions and Function Notation

function  A function is a relation in which each possible input value leads to exactly one output value. We say “the output is a function of the input.” The input values make up the domain, and the output values make up the range.

How To…

Given a relationship between two quantities, determine whether the relationship is a function.

1.  Identify the input values. 2.  Identify the output values. 3.  If each input value leads to only one output value, classify the relationship as a function. If any input value leads to

two or more outputs, do not classify the relationship as a function.

Example 1

Determining If Menu Price Lists Are Functions

The coffee shop menu, shown in Figure 2 consists of items and their prices. a. Is price a function of the item?   b. Is the item a function of the price?

Menu Item Price Plain Donut . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.49 Jelly Donut . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.99 Chocolate Donut . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.99 Figure 2

Solution

a. Let’s begin by considering the input as the items on the menu. The output values are then the prices. See Figure 2. Each item on the menu has only one price, so the price is a function of the item. b. Two items on the menu have the same price. If we consider the prices to be the input values and the items to be the output, then the same input value could have more than one output associated with it. See Figure 3.

Menu Item Price Plain Donut . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.49 Jelly Donut . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.99 Chocolate Donut . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Figure 3

Therefore, the item is a not a function of price.

Determining If Class Grade Rules Are Functions

In a particular math class, the overall percent grade corresponds to a grade-point average. Is grade-point average a function of the percent grade? Is the percent grade a function of the grade-point average? Table 1 shows a possible rule for assigning grade points.

Solution For any percent grade earned, there is an associated grade-point average, so the grade-point average is a

function of the percent grade. In other words, if we input the percent grade, the output is a specific grade-point average.

In the grading system given, there is a range of percent grades that correspond to the same grade-point average. For example, students who receive a grade-point average of 3.0 could have a variety of percent grades ranging from 78 all the way to 86. Thus, percent grade is not a function of grade-point average

Using Function Notation Once we determine that a relationship is a function, we need to display and define the functional relationships so that we can understand and use them, and sometimes also so that we can program them into graphing calculators and computers. There are various ways of representing functions. A standard function notation is one representation that facilitates working with functions. To represent “height is a function of age,” we start by identifying the descriptive variables h for height and a for age. The letters f, g, and h are often used to represent functions just as we use x, y, and z to represent numbers and A, B, and C to represent sets. h is f of a

We name the function f ; height is a function of age.

h  = f (a) We use parentheses to indicate the function input. f  (a) We name the function f ; the expression is read as “f of a.” Remember, we can use any letter to name the function; the notation h(a) shows us that h depends on a. The value a must be put into the function h to get a result. The parentheses indicate that age is input into the function; they do not indicate multiplication. We can also give an algebraic expression as the input to a function. For example f (a + b) means “first add a and b, and the result is the input for the function f. ” The operations must be performed in this order to obtain the correct result.

function notation  The notation y = f (x) defines a function named f. This is read as “y is a function of x.” The letter x represents the input value, or independent variable. The letter y, or f (x), represents the output value, or dependent variable.

SECTION 3.1  Functions and Function Notation

Example 3

Using Function Notation for Days in a Month

Use function notation to represent a function whose input is the name of a month and output is the number of days in that month. Solution The number of days in a month is a function of the name of the month, so if we name the function f, we write days = f (month) or d = f (m). The name of the month is the input to a “rule” that associates a specific number (the output) with each input.

31f (January) output

rule

input

Figure 4

For example, f (March) = 31, because March has 31 days. The notation d = f (m) reminds us that the number of days, d (the output), is dependent on the name of the month, m(the input).

Analysis Note that the inputs to a function do not have to be numbers; function inputs can be names of people, labels of geometric objects, or any other element that determines some kind of output. However, most of the functions we will work with in this book will have numbers as inputs and outputs.

Example 4

Interpreting Function Notation

A function N = f (y) gives the number of police officers, N, in a town in year y. What does f (2005) = 300 represent? Solution When we read f (2005) = 300, we see that the input year is 2005. The value for the output, the number of

police officers (N), is 300. Remember N = f (y). The statement f (2005) = 300 tells us that in the year 2005 there were 300 police officers in the town.

Try It #2 Use function notation to express the weight of a pig in pounds as a function of its age in days d.

Q & A…

Instead of a notation such as y = f (x), could we use the same symbol for the output as for the function, such as y = y (x), meaning “y is a function of x?”

Yes, this is often done, especially in applied subjects that use higher math, such as physics and engineering. However, in exploring math itself we like to maintain a distinction between a function such as f, which is a rule or procedure, and the output y we get by applying f to a particular input x. This is why we usually use notation such as y = f (x), P = W(d), and so on.

Representing Functions Using Tables A common method of representing functions is in the form of a table. The table rows or columns display the corresponding input and output values. In some cases, these values represent all we know about the relationship; other times, the table provides a few select examples from a more complete relationship. Table 3 lists the input number of each month (January = 1, February = 2, and so on) and the output value of the number of days in that month. This information represents all we know about the months and days for a given year (that is not a leap year). Note that, in this table, we define a days-in-a-month function f where D = f (m) identifies months by an integer rather than by name. Month number, m (input)

Solution Table 6 and Table 7 define functions. In both, each input value corresponds to exactly one output value. Table 8 does not define a function because the input value of 5 corresponds to two different output values.

When a table represents a function, corresponding input and output values can also be specified using function notation. The function represented by Table 6 can be represented by writing f (2) = 1, f (5) = 3, and f (8) = 6 Similarly, the statements g (−3) = 5, g (0) = 1, and g (4) = 5 represent the function in table Table 7. Table 8 cannot be expressed in a similar way because it does not represent a function.

SECTION 3.1  Functions and Function Notation

Finding Input and Output Values of a Function When we know an input value and want to determine the corresponding output value for a function, we evaluate the function. Evaluating will always produce one result because each input value of a function corresponds to exactly one output value. When we know an output value and want to determine the input values that would produce that output value, we set the output equal to the function’s formula and solve for the input. Solving can produce more than one solution because different input values can produce the same output value.

Evaluation of Functions in Algebraic Forms When we have a function in formula form, it is usually a simple matter to evaluate the function. For example, the function f (x) = 5 − 3x 2 can be evaluated by squaring the input value, multiplying by 3, and then subtracting the product from 5.

How To…

Given the formula for a function, evaluate.

1.  Replace the input variable in the formula with the value provided. 2.  Calculate the result.

Example 6

Evaluating Functions at Specific Values

Evaluate f(x) = x 2 + 3x − 4 at:

f (a + h) − f (a)   ​​      a. 2   b.  a  c.  a + h  d. ​​  __ h Solution   Replace the x in the function with each specified value. a.  Because the input value is a number, 2, we can use simple algebra to simplify.



f (2) = 22 + 3(2) − 4



= 4 + 6 − 4



= 6 b.  In this case, the input value is a letter so we cannot simplify the answer any further. f (a) = a2 + 3a − 4



c.  With an input value of a + h, we must use the distributive property. f (a + h) = (a + h)2 + 3(a + h) − 4



= a2 + 2ah + h2 + 3a + 3h −4  d.  In this case, we apply the input values to the function more than once, and then perform algebraic operations on the result. We already found that



and we know that

f (a + h) = a2 + 2ah + h2 + 3a + 3h − 4 f(a) = a2 + 3a − 4

Now we combine the results and simplify. f (a + h) − f(a) (a2 + 2ah + h2 + 3a + 3h − 4) − (a2 + 3a − 4)   ​​ =  ​​  ____   ​​               ​​  __ h h 2 2ah + h  + 3h = ​​  ___________   ​​      h h(2a + h + 3)   ​​ Factor out h. = ​​  ___________      h = 2a + h + 3 Simplify.

h(p) = p2 + 2p



h(4) = (4)2 +2 (4)

Substitute the original function h(p) = p2 + 2p. Subtract 3 from each side.

(p + 3)(p − 1) = 0 Factor. If (p + 3)(p − 1) = 0, either (p + 3) = 0 or (p − 1) = 0 (or both of them equal 0). We will set each factor equal to 0 and solve for p in each case. (p + 3) = 0,  p = −3 (p − 1) = 0,  p = 1 This gives us two solutions. The output h(p) = 3 when the input is either p = 1 or p = −3. We can also verify by graphing as in Figure 5.

Evaluating Functions Expressed in Formulas Some functions are defined by mathematical rules or procedures expressed in equation form. If it is possible to express the function output with a formula involving the input quantity, then we can define a function in algebraic form. For example, the equation 2n + 6p = 12 expresses a functional relationship between n and p. We can rewrite it to decide if p is a function of n.

SECTION 3.1  Functions and Function Notation

How To…

Given a function in equation form, write its algebraic formula.

1.  Solve the equation to isolate the output variable on one side of the equal sign, with the other side as an expression

that involves only the input variable.

2.  Use all the usual algebraic methods for solving equations, such as adding or subtracting the same quantity to or

from both sides, or multiplying or dividing both sides of the equation by the same quantity.

Example 9

Finding an Equation of a Function

Express the relationship 2n + 6p = 12 as a function p = f (n), if possible. Solution To express the relationship in this form, we need to be able to write the relationship where p is a function

of n, which means writing it as p = [expression involving n].

2n + 6p = 12 6p = 12 − 2n Therefore, p as a function of n is written as

12 − 2n p = ​​  _______  ​​   6 2n 12 p = ​​  __ ​​   − ​​  ___ ​​  6 6 1 p = 2 − ​​  __ ​​ n 3

Subtract 2n from both sides. Divide both sides by 6 and simplify.

1 p = f (n) = 2 − ​​  __  ​​ n 3

Example 10 Expressing the Equation of a Circle as a Function Does the equation x 2 + y 2 = 1 represent a function with x as input and y as output? If so, express the relationship as a function y = f (x). Solution First we subtract x 2 from both sides.

y 2 = 1 − x 2 We now try to solve for y in this equation. —

y  = ±​​√ 1 − x2 ​​ 

—

—

= +​​√ 1 − x2 ​​  and  −​​√ 1 − x2 ​​ 

We get two outputs corresponding to the same input, so this relationship cannot be represented as a single function y = f (x). If we graph both functions on a graphing calculator, we will get the upper and lower semicircles.

Try It #6 If x − 8y 3 = 0, express y as a function of x.

Q & A…

Are there relationships expressed by an equation that do represent a function but that still cannot be represented by an algebraic formula? Yes, this can happen. For example, given the equation x = y + 2y, if we want to express y as a function of x, there is no simple algebraic formula involving only x that equals y. However, each x does determine a unique value for y, and there are mathematical procedures by which y can be found to any desired accuracy. In this case, we say that the equation gives an implicit (implied) rule for y as a function of x, even though the formula cannot be written explicitly.

CHAPTER 3  Functions

Evaluating a Function Given in Tabular Form As we saw above, we can represent functions in tables. Conversely, we can use information in tables to write functions, and we can evaluate functions using the tables. For example, how well do our pets recall the fond memories we share with them? There is an urban legend that a goldfish has a memory of 3 seconds, but this is just a myth. Goldfish can remember up to 3 months, while the beta fish has a memory of up to 5 months. And while a puppy’s memory span is no longer than 30 seconds, the adult dog can remember for 5 minutes. This is meager compared to a cat, whose memory span lasts for 16 hours. The function that relates the type of pet to the duration of its memory span is more easily visualized with the use of a table. See Table 10. [2]

Pet Puppy Adult dog Cat Goldfish Beta fish

Memory span in hours 0.008 0.083 16 2160 3600 Table 10

At times, evaluating a function in table form may be more useful than using equations. Here let us call the function P. The domain of the function is the type of pet and the range is a real number representing the number of hours the pet’s memory span lasts. We can evaluate the function P at the input value of “goldfish.” We would write P(goldfish) = 2160. Notice that, to evaluate the function in table form, we identify the input value and the corresponding output value from the pertinent row of the table. The tabular form for function P seems ideally suited to this function, more so than writing it in paragraph or function form.

How To…

Given a function represented by a table, identify specific output and input values.

1.  Find the given input in the row (or column) of input values. 2.  Identify the corresponding output value paired with that input value. 3.  Find the given output values in the row (or column) of output values, noting every time that output value appears. 4.  Identify the input value(s) corresponding to the given output value.

When we input 2 into the function g, our output is 6. When we input 4 into the function g, our output is also 6.

Finding Function Values from a Graph Evaluating a function using a graph also requires finding the corresponding output value for a given input value, only in this case, we find the output value by looking at the graph.

Determining Whether a Function is One-to-One Some functions have a given output value that corresponds to two or more input values. For example, in the stock chart shown in Figure 1 at the beginning of this chapter, the stock price was $1,000 on five different dates, meaning that there were five different input values that all resulted in the same output value of $1,000. However, some functions have only one input value for each output value, as well as having only one output for each input. We call these functions one-to-one functions. As an example, consider a school that uses only letter grades and decimal equivalents, as listed in Table 12. Letter grade A B C D

Grade-point average 4.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 Table 12

This grading system represents a one-to-one function, because each letter input yields one particular grade-point average output and each grade-point average corresponds to one input letter. To visualize this concept, let’s look again at the two simple functions sketched in Figure 1(a) and Figure 1(b). The function in part ( a) shows a relationship that is not a one-to-one function because inputs q and r both give output n. The function in part (b ) shows a relationship that is a one-to-one function because each input is associated with a single output.

one-to-one function  A one-to-one function is a function in which each output value corresponds to exactly one input value. There are no repeated x- or y-values. Example 13 Determining Whether a Relationship Is a One-to-One Function Is the area of a circle a function of its radius? If yes, is the function one-to-one? Solution A circle of radius r has a unique area measure given by A = πr 2, so for any input, r, there is only one output,

A. The area is a function of radius r.

If the function is one-to-one, the output value, the area, must correspond to a unique input value, the radius. Any area 2 measure ___A is given by the formula A = πr  . Because areas and radii are positive numbers, there is exactly one solution: A r = ​​ ​  __ ​ ​   ​So the area of a circle is a one-to-one function of the circle’s radius. π

SECTION 3.1  Functions and Function Notation

Using the Vertical Line Test As we have seen in some examples above, we can represent a function using a graph. Graphs display a great many input-output pairs in a small space. The visual information they provide often makes relationships easier to understand. By convention, graphs are typically constructed with the input values along the horizontal axis and the output values along the vertical axis. The most common graphs name the input value x and the output value y, and we say y is a function of x, or y = f (x) when the function is named f. The graph of the function is the set of all points (x, y) in the plane that satisfies the equation y = f (x). If the function is defined for only a few input values, then the graph of the function consists of only a few points, where the x-coordinate of each point is an input value and the y-coordinate of each point is the corresponding output value. For example, the black dots on the graph in Figure 9 tell us that f (0) = 2 and f (6) = 1. However, the set of all points (x, y) satisfying y = f (x) is a curve. The curve shown includes (0, 2) and (6, 1) because the curve passes through those points. y

The vertical line test can be used to determine whether a graph represents a function. If we can draw any vertical line that intersects a graph more than once, then the graph does not define a function because a function has only one output value for each input value. See Figure 10. Function

How To…

Given a graph, use the vertical line test to determine if the graph represents a function.

1.  Inspect the graph to see if any vertical line drawn would intersect the curve more than once. 2.  If there is any such line, determine that the graph does not represent a function.

Solution If any vertical line intersects a graph more than once, the relation represented by the graph is not a function. Notice that any vertical line would pass through only one point of the two graphs shown in parts ( a) and (b) of Figure 11. From this we can conclude that these two graphs represent functions. The third graph does not represent a function because, at most x-values, a vertical line would intersect the graph at more than one point, as shown in Figure 12. y

SECTION 3.1  Functions and Function Notation

Using the Horizontal Line Test Once we have determined that a graph defines a function, an easy way to determine if it is a one-to-one function is to use the horizontal line test. Draw horizontal lines through the graph. If any horizontal line intersects the graph more than once, then the graph does not represent a one-to-one function.

How To…

Given a graph of a function, use the horizontal line test to determine if the graph represents a one-to-one function.

1.  Inspect the graph to see if any horizontal line drawn would intersect the curve more than once. 2.  If there is any such line, determine that the function is not one-to-one.

Example 15 Applying the Horizontal Line Test Consider the functions shown in Figure 11(a) and Figure 11(b). Are either of the functions one-to-one? Solution The function in Figure 11(a) is not one-to-one. The horizontal line shown in Figure 14 intersects the graph

of the function at two points (and we can even find horizontal lines that intersect it at three points.) f (x)

Identifying Basic Toolkit Functions In this text, we will be exploring functions—the shapes of their graphs, their unique characteristics, their algebraic formulas, and how to solve problems with them. When learning to read, we start with the alphabet. When learning to do arithmetic, we start with numbers. When working with functions, it is similarly helpful to have a base set of building-block elements. We call these our “toolkit functions,” which form a set of basic named functions for which

CHAPTER 3  Functions

we know the graph, formula, and special properties. Some of these functions are programmed to individual buttons on many calculators. For these definitions we will use x as the input variable and y = f (x) as the output variable. We will see these toolkit functions, combinations of toolkit functions, their graphs, and their transformations frequently throughout this book. It will be very helpful if we can recognize these toolkit functions and their features quickly by name, formula, graph, and basic table properties. The graphs and sample table values are included with each function shown in Table 13.

CHAPTER 3  Functions

Learning Objectives In this section, you will: • Find the domain of a function defined by an equation. • Graph piecewise-defined functions.

3.2 Domain and Range If you’re in the mood for a scary movie, you may want to check out one of the five most popular horror movies of all time—I am Legend, Hannibal, The Ring, The Grudge, and The Conjuring. Figure 1 shows the amount, in dollars, each of those movies grossed when they were released as well as the ticket sales for horror movies in general by year. Notice that we can use the data to create a function of the amount each movie earned or the total ticket sales for all horror movies by year. In creating various functions using the data, we can identify different independent and dependent variables, and we can analyze the data and the functions to determine the domain and range. In this section, we will investigate methods for determining the domain and range of functions such as these.

Finding the Domain of a Function Defined by an Equation In Functions and Function Notation, we were introduced to the concepts of domain and range. In this section, we will practice determining domains and ranges for specific functions. Keep in mind that, in determining domains and ranges, we need to consider what is physically possible or meaningful in real-world examples, such as tickets sales and year in the horror movie example above. We also need to consider what is mathematically permitted. For example, we cannot include any input value that leads us to take an even root of a negative number if the domain and range consist of real numbers. Or in a function expressed as a formula, we cannot include any input value in the domain that would lead us to divide by 0. We can visualize the domain as a “holding area” that contains “raw materials” for a “function machine” and the range as another “holding area” for the machine’s products. See Figure 2. Domain a

We can write the domain and range in interval notation, which uses values within brackets to describe a set of numbers. In interval notation, we use a square bracket [when the set includes the endpoint and a parenthesis (to indicate that the endpoint is either not included or the interval is unbounded. For example, if a person has $100 to spend, he or she would need to express the interval that is more than 0 and less than or equal to 100 and write (0, 100]. We will discuss interval notation in greater detail later. 3  The Numbers: Where Data and the Movie Business Meet. “Box Office History for Horror Movies.” http://www.the-numbers.com/market/genre/Horror. Accessed 3/24/2014

SECTION 3.2  Domain and Range

Let’s turn our attention to finding the domain of a function whose equation is provided. Oftentimes, finding the domain of such functions involves remembering three different forms. First, if the function has no denominator or an even root, consider whether the domain could be all real numbers. Second, if there is a denominator in the function’s equation, exclude values in the domain that force the denominator to be zero. Third, if there is an even root, consider excluding values that would make the radicand negative. Before we begin, let us review the conventions of interval notation: •

The smallest number from the interval is written first.

•

The largest number in the interval is written second, following a comma.

•

Parentheses, (or), are used to signify that an endpoint value is not included, called exclusive.

•

Brackets, [or], are used to indicate that an endpoint value is included, called inclusive.

See Figure 3 for a summary of interval notation. Inequality

x  0, move in a counterclockwise direction from the polar axis by an angle of θ, and then extend a directed line segment from the pole the length of r in the direction of θ. If θ is negative, move in a clockwise direction, and extend a directed line segment the length of r in the direction of θ. See Example 1. • If r is negative, extend the directed line segment in the opposite direction of θ. See Example 2. • To convert from polar coordinates to rectangular coordinates, use the formulas x = rcos θ and y = rsin θ. See Example 3 and Example 4. x • To convert from rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates, use one or more of the formulas: cos θ = ​  _r  ​ , y_ y_ — sin θ = ​  r ​  , tan θ = ​  x  ​ , and r = ​√ x2 + y2 ​  . See Example 5. • Transforming equations between polar and rectangular forms means making the appropriate substitutions based on the available formulas, together with algebraic manipulations. See Example 6, Example 7, and Example 8. • Using the appropriate substitutions makes it possible to rewrite a polar equation as a rectangular equation, and then graph it in the rectangular plane. See Example 9, Example 10, and Example 11.

10.4  Polar Coordinates: Graphs

π • It is easier to graph polar equations if we can test the equations for symmetry with respect to the line θ = ​  _ ​  , the polar 2 axis, or the pole. • There are three symmetry tests that indicate whether the graph of a polar equation will exhibit symmetry. If an equation fails a symmetry test, the graph may or may not exhibit symmetry. See Example 1. • Polar equations may be graphed by making a table of values for θ and r. • The maximum value of a polar equation is found by substituting the value θ that leads to the maximum value of the trigonometric expression. • The zeros of a polar equation are found by setting r = 0 and solving for θ. See Example 2. • Some formulas that produce the graph of a circle in polar coordinates are given by r = acos θ and r = asin θ. See Example 3. • The formulas that produce the graphs of a cardioid are given by r = a ± bcos θ and r = a ± bsin θ, for a > 0, a b > 0, and ​ _  ​   = 1. See Example 4. b

SECTION 12.4  Rotation of Axis

Learning Objectives In this section, you will: • Identify nondegenerate conic sections given their general form equations. • Use rotation of axes formulas. • Write equations of rotated conics in standard form. • Identify conics without rotating axes.

12. 4  Rotation of Axis As we have seen, conic sections are formed when a plane intersects two right circular cones aligned tip to tip and extending infinitely far in opposite directions, which we also call a cone. The way in which we slice the cone will determine the type of conic section formed at the intersection. A circle is formed by slicing a cone with a plane perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the cone. An ellipse is formed by slicing a single cone with a slanted plane not perpendicular to the axis of symmetry. A parabola is formed by slicing the plane through the top or bottom of the double-cone, whereas a hyperbola is formed when the plane slices both the top and bottom of the cone. See Figure 1.

Figure 1  The nondegenerate conic sections

Ellipses, circles, hyperbolas, and parabolas are sometimes called the nondegenerate conic sections, in contrast to the degenerate conic sections, which are shown in Figure 2. A degenerate conic results when a plane intersects the double cone and passes through the apex. Depending on the angle of the plane, three types of degenerate conic sections are possible: a point, a line, or two intersecting lines.

Identifying Nondegenerate Conics in General Form In previous sections of this chapter, we have focused on the standard form equations for nondegenerate conic sections. In this section, we will shift our focus to the general form equation, which can be used for any conic. The general form is set equal to zero, and the terms and coefficients are given in a particular order, as shown below.

Ax 2 + Bxy + Cy 2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0

where A, B, and C are not all zero. We can use the values of the coefficients to identify which type conic is represented by a given equation. You may notice that the general form equation has an xy term that we have not seen in any of the standard form equations. As we will discuss later, the xy term rotates the conic whenever B is not equal to zero. Conic Sections

How To…

Given the equation of a conic, identify the type of conic.

1.  Rewrite the equation in the general form, Ax 2 + Bxy + Cy 2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0. 2.  Identify the values of A and C from the general form. a. If A and C are nonzero, have the same sign, and are not equal to each other, then the graph is an ellipse. b. If A and C are equal and nonzero and have the same sign, then the graph is a circle. c.  If A and C are nonzero and have opposite signs, then the graph is a hyperbola.

d. If either A or C is zero, then the graph is a parabola.

a.  Rewriting the general form, we have

Ax 2 + Bxy + Cy 2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0



4x 2 + 0xy + (−9)y 2 + 36x + 36y + (−125) = 0 A = 4 and C = −9, so we observe that A and C have opposite signs. The graph of this equation is a hyperbola. b.  Rewriting the general form, we have



Ax 2 + Bxy + Cy 2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0



0x 2 + 0xy + 9y 2 + 16x + 36y + (−10) = 0 A = 0 and C = 9. We can determine that the equation is a parabola, since A is zero.

Finding a New Representation of the Given Equation after Rotating through a Given Angle Until now, we have looked at equations of conic sections without an xy term, which aligns the graphs with the x- and y- axes. When we add an xy term, we are rotating the conic about the origin. If the x- and y-axes are rotated through an angle, say θ, then every point on the plane may be thought of as having two representations: (x, y) on the Cartesian plane with the original x-axis and y-axis, and (x′, y′) on the new plane defined by the new, rotated axes, called the x′-axis and y′-axis. See Figure 3. y

The original coordinate x- and y-axes have unit vectors i and j. The rotated coordinate axes have unit vectors i′ and j′. The angle θ is known as the angle of rotation. See Figure 5. We may write the new unit vectors in terms of the original ones.

equations of rotation If a point (x, y) on the Cartesian plane is represented on a new coordinate plane where the axes of rotation are formed by rotating an angle θ from the positive x-axis, then the coordinates of the point with respect to the new axes are (x′, y′). We can use the following equations of rotation to define the relationship between (x, y) and (x′, y′):

x = x′ cos θ − y′ sin θ   and   y = x′ sin θ + y′ cos θ

How To…

Given the equation of a conic, find a new representation after rotating through an angle.

1.  Find x and y where x = x′ cos θ − y′ sin θ and y = x′ sin θ + y′ cos θ. 2.  Substitute the expression for x and y into in the given equation, then simplify. 3.  Write the equations with x′ and y′ in standard form.

Writing Equations of Rotated Conics in Standard Form Now that we can find the standard form of a conic when we are given an angle of rotation, we will learn how to transform the equation of a conic given in the form Ax 2 + Bxy + Cy 2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0. into standard form by rotating the axes. To do so, we will rewrite the general form as an equation in the x′ and y′ coordinate system without the x′y′ term, by rotating the axes by a measure of θ that satisfies A − C cot(2θ) = ​  ______  ​     B We have learned already that any conic may be represented by the second degree equation

Ax 2 + Bxy + Cy 2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0.

where A, B, and C are not all zero. However, if B ≠ 0, then we have an xy term that prevents us from rewriting the A − C equation in standard form. To eliminate it, we can rotate the axes by an acute angle θ where cot(2θ) = ​  ______  ​.     B • If cot(2θ) > 0, then 2θ is in the first quadrant, and θ is between (0°, 45°). • If cot(2θ) < 0, then 2θ is in the second quadrant, and θ is between (45°, 90°). • If A = C, then θ = 45°.

How To…

Given an equation for a conic in the x′ y′ system, rewrite the equation without the x′ y′ term in terms of x′ and y′, where the x′ and y′ axes are rotations of the standard axes by θ degrees.

1.  Find cot(2θ). 2.  Find sin θ and cos θ. 3.  Substitute sin θ and cos θ into x = x′ cos θ − y′ sin θ and y = x′ sin θ + y′ cos θ. 4.  Substitute the expression for x and y into in the given equation, and then simplify. 5.  Write the equations with x′ and y′ in the standard form with respect to the rotated axes.

Identifying Conics without Rotating Axes Now we have come full circle. How do we identify the type of conic described by an equation? What happens when the axes are rotated? Recall, the general form of a conic is

Ax 2 + Bxy + Cy 2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0

If we apply the rotation formulas to this equation we get the form

A′ x′ 2 + B′x′y′ + C′y′ 2 + D′x′ + E′y′ + F′ = 0

It may be shown that B2 − 4AC = B′ 2 − 4A′ C′. The expression does not vary after rotation, so we call the expression invariant. The discriminant, B2 − 4AC, is invariant and remains unchanged after rotation. Because the discriminant remains unchanged, observing the discriminant enables us to identify the conic section.

SECTION 12.4  Rotation of Axis

using the discriminant to identify a conic If the equation Ax 2 + Bxy + Cy 2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0 is transformed by rotating axes into the equation A′x′ 2 + B′x′y′ + C′y′ 2 + D′x′ + E′y′ + F′ = 0, then B2 − 4AC = B′ 2 − 4A′C′. The equation Ax 2 + Bxy + Cy 2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0 is an ellipse, a parabola, or a hyperbola, or a degenerate case of one of these. If the discriminant, B2 − 4AC, is • < 0, the conic section is an ellipse • = 0, the conic section is a parabola • > 0, the conic section is a hyperbola

Learning Objectives In this section, you will: • Identify a conic in polar form. • Graph the polar equations of conics. • Define conics in terms of a focus and a directrix.

12. 5  Conic Sections in Polar Coordinates

Figure 1 Planets orbiting the sun follow elliptical paths. (credit: NASA Blueshift, Flickr)

Most of us are familiar with orbital motion, such as the motion of a planet around the sun or an electron around an atomic nucleus. Within the planetary system, orbits of planets, asteroids, and comets around a larger celestial body are often elliptical. Comets, however, may take on a parabolic or hyperbolic orbit instead. And, in reality, the characteristics of the planets’ orbits may vary over time. Each orbit is tied to the location of the celestial body being orbited and the distance and direction of the planet or other object from that body. As a result, we tend to use polar coordinates to represent these orbits. In an elliptical orbit, the periapsis is the point at which the two objects are closest, and the apoapsis is the point at which they are farthest apart. Generally, the velocity of the orbiting body tends to increase as it approaches the periapsis and decrease as it approaches the apoapsis. Some objects reach an escape velocity, which results in an infinite orbit. These bodies exhibit either a parabolic or a hyperbolic orbit about a body; the orbiting body breaks free of the celestial body’s gravitational pull and fires off into space. Each of these orbits can be modeled by a conic section in the polar coordinate system.

Identifying a Conic in Polar Form Any conic may be determined by three characteristics: a single focus, a fixed line called the directrix, and the ratio of the distances of each to a point on the graph. Consider the parabola x = 2 + y 2 shown in Figure 2.

SECTION 12.5  Conic Sections in Polar Coordinates

In The Parabola, we learned how a parabola is defined by the focus (a fixed point) and the directrix (a fixed line). In this section, we will learn how to define any conic in the polar coordinate system in terms of a fixed point, the focus P(r, θ) at the pole, and a line, the directrix, which is perpendicular to the polar axis. If F is a fixed point, the focus, and D is a fixed line, the directrix, then we can let e be a fixed positive number, called the eccentricity, which we can define as the ratio of the distances from a point on the graph to the focus and the point PF on the graph to the directrix. Then the set of all points P such that e = ​  ___  ​ is a conic. In other words, we can define PD a conic as the set of all points P with the property that the ratio of the distance from P to F to the distance from P to D is equal to the constant e. For a conic with eccentricity e, • if 0 ≤ e  1, the conic is an hyperbola With this definition, we may now define a conic in terms of the directrix, x = ± p, the eccentricity e, and the angle θ. Thus, each conic may be written as a polar equation, an equation written in terms of r and θ.

the polar equation for a conic  For a conic with a focus at the origin, if the directrix is x = ± p, where p is a positive real number, and the eccentricity is a positive real number e, the conic has a polar equation. ep  ​ r = ​  _     1 ± e cos θ For a conic with a focus at the origin, if the directrix is y = ± p, where p is a positive real number, and the eccentricity is a positive real number e, the conic has a polar equation. ep  ​     r = ​  _ 1 ± e sin θ

Given the polar equation for a conic, identify the type of conic, the directrix, and the eccentricity.

1.  Multiply the numerator and denominator by the reciprocal of the constant in the denominator to rewrite the

equation in standard form.

2.  Identify the eccentricity e as the coefficient of the trigonometric function in the denominator. 3.  Compare e with 1 to determine the shape of the conic. 4.  Determine the directrix as x = p if cosine is in the denominator and y = p if sine is in the denominator. Set ep equal

to the numerator in standard form to solve for x or y.

Standard form has a 1 as

the constant in the denominator.

Graphing the Polar Equations of Conics When graphing in Cartesian coordinates, each conic section has a unique equation. This is not the case when graphing in polar coordinates. We must use the eccentricity of a conic section to determine which type of curve to graph, and then determine its specific characteristics. The first step is to rewrite the conic in standard form as we have done in the previous example. In other words, we need to rewrite the equation so that the denominator begins with 1. This enables us to determine e and, therefore, the shape of the curve. The next step is to substitute values for θ and solve for r to plot π 3π a few key points. Setting θ equal to 0, ​ __ ​,  π, and ​ ___ ​  provides the vertices so we can create a rough sketch of the graph. 2 2 Example 2 Graphing a Parabola in Polar Form 5 Graph r = ​  _________      ​. 3 + 3 cos θ Solution First, we rewrite the conic in standard form by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the 1 reciprocal of 3, which is ​ __ ​ . 1 5​ ​  _  ​   ​   3 5 3 __  ​ =      ​         r  = ​  _  ​ 1 1 3 + 3 cos θ    3​ ​  _   ​   ​  + 3​ ​  _  ​   ​ cos θ 3 3 5 ​  __ ​   3  ​     r = ​  _ 1 + cos θ Because e = 1, we will graph a parabola with a focus at the origin.

Key Concepts 12.1 The Ellipse • An ellipse is the set of all points (x, y) in a plane such that the sum of their distances from two fixed points is a constant. Each fixed point is called a focus (plural: foci). • When given the coordinates of the foci and vertices of an ellipse, we can write the equation of the ellipse in standard form. See Example 1 and Example 2. • When given an equation for an ellipse centered at the origin in standard form, we can identify its vertices, covertices, foci, and the lengths and positions of the major and minor axes in order to graph the ellipse. See Example 3 and Example 4. • When given the equation for an ellipse centered at some point other than the origin, we can identify its key features and graph the ellipse. See Example 5 and Example 6. • Real-world situations can be modeled using the standard equations of ellipses and then evaluated to find key features, such as lengths of axes and distance between foci. See Example 7.

12.2 The Hyperbola • A hyperbola is the set of all points (x, y) in a plane such that the difference of the distances between (x, y) and the foci is a positive constant. • The standard form of a hyperbola can be used to locate its vertices and foci. See Example 1. • When given the coordinates of the foci and vertices of a hyperbola, we can write the equation of the hyperbola in standard form. See Example 2 and Example 3. • When given an equation for a hyperbola, we can identify its vertices, co-vertices, foci, asymptotes, and lengths and positions of the transverse and conjugate axes in order to graph the hyperbola. See Example 4 and Example 5. • Real-world situations can be modeled using the standard equations of hyperbolas. For instance, given the dimensions of a natural draft cooling tower, we can find a hyperbolic equation that models its sides. See Example 6.

12.3 The Parabola • A parabola is the set of all points (x, y) in a plane that are the same distance from a fixed line, called the directrix, and a fixed point (the focus) not on the directrix. • The standard form of a parabola with vertex (0, 0) and the x-axis as its axis of symmetry can be used to graph the parabola. If p > 0, the parabola opens right. If p  0, the parabola opens up. If p  0, the parabola opens right. If p  0, the parabola opens up. If p  5

SECTION 13.2  Arithmetic Sequences

1069

Learning Objectives In this section, you will: • Find the common difference for an arithmetic sequence. • Write terms of an arithmetic sequence. • Use a recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence. • Use an explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence.

13. 2  Arithmetic Sequences Companies often make large purchases, such as computers and vehicles, for business use. The book-value of these supplies decreases each year for tax purposes. This decrease in value is called depreciation. One method of calculating depreciation is straight-line depreciation, in which the value of the asset decreases by the same amount each year. As an example, consider a woman who starts a small contracting business. She purchases a new truck for $25,000. After five years, she estimates that she will be able to sell the truck for $8,000. The loss in value of the truck will therefore be $17,000, which is $3,400 per year for five years. The truck will be worth $21,600 after the first year; $18,200 after two years; $14,800 after three years; $11,400 after four years; and $8,000 at the end of five years. In this section, we will consider specific kinds of sequences that will allow us to calculate depreciation, such as the truck’s value.

Finding Common Differences The values of the truck in the example are said to form an arithmetic sequence because they change by a constant amount each year. Each term increases or decreases by the same constant value called the common difference of the sequence. For this sequence, the common difference is −3,400. −3,400 {25000,

arithmetic sequence  An arithmetic sequence is a sequence that has the property that the difference between any two consecutive terms is a constant. This constant is called the common difference. If a1 is the first term of an arithmetic sequence and d is the common difference, the sequence will be: {an} = {a1, a1 + d, a1 + 2d, a1 + 3d,...}

Example 1

Finding Common Differences

Is each sequence arithmetic? If so, find the common difference. a.  {1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ... }     b. { −3, 1, 5, 9, 13, ... } Solution Subtract each term from the subsequent term to determine whether a common difference exists.

sequences show growth, a is not linear whereas b is linear. Arithmetic sequences have a constant rate of change so their graphs will always be points on a line. an

Q & A…

If we are told that a sequence is arithmetic, do we have to subtract every term from the following term to find the common difference?

No. If we know that the sequence is arithmetic, we can choose any one term in the sequence, and subtract it from the subsequent term to find the common difference.

Try It #1 Is the given sequence arithmetic? If so, find the common difference. {18, 16, 14, 12, 10, … }

Try It #2 Is the given sequence arithmetic? If so, find the common difference. {1, 3, 6, 10, 15, … }

Writing Terms of Arithmetic Sequences Now that we can recognize an arithmetic sequence, we will find the terms if we are given the first term and the common difference. The terms can be found by beginning with the first term and adding the common difference repeatedly. In addition, any term can also be found by plugging in the values of n and d into formula below. an = a1 + (n − 1)d

How To…

Given the first term and the common difference of an arithmetic sequence, find the first several terms.

1.  Add the common difference to the first term to find the second term. 2.  Add the common difference to the second term to find the third term. 3.  Continue until all of the desired terms are identified. 4.  Write the terms separated by commas within brackets.

Example 2

Writing Terms of Arithmetic Sequences

Write the first five terms of the arithmetic sequence with a1 = 17 and d = −3. Solution Adding −3 is the same as subtracting 3. Beginning with the first term, subtract 3 from each term to find

the next term.

The first five terms are {17, 14, 11, 8, 5}

How To…

Given any first term and any other term in an arithmetic sequence, find a given term.

1.  Substitute the values given for a1, an, n into the formula an = a1 + (n − 1)d to solve for d. 2.  Find a given term by substituting the appropriate values for a1, n, and d into the formula an = a1 + (n − 1)d.

Example 3

Writing Terms of Arithmetic Sequences

Given a1 = 8 and a4 = 14, find a5. Solution The sequence can be written in terms of the initial term 8 and the common difference d.



{8, 8 + d, 8 + 2d, 8 + 3d}

We know the fourth term equals 14; we know the fourth term has the form a1 + 3d = 8 + 3d. We can find the common difference d.

an = a1 + (n − 1)d



a4 = a1 + 3d



a4 = 8 + 3d

Write the fourth term of the sequence in terms of a1 and d.

14  = 8 + 3d Substitute 14 for a4.

d = 2

Solve for the common difference.

Find the fifth term by adding the common difference to the fourth term.

a5 = a4 + 2 = 16

Analysis Notice that the common difference is added to the first term once to find the second term, twice to find the third term, three times to find the fourth term, and so on. The tenth term could be found by adding the common difference to the first term nine times or by using the equation an = a1 + (n − 1)d.

Try It #4 Given a3 = 7 and a5 = 17, find a2.

Using Recursive Formulas for Arithmetic Sequences Some arithmetic sequences are defined in terms of the previous term using a recursive formula. The formula provides an algebraic rule for determining the terms of the sequence. A recursive formula allows us to find any term of an arithmetic sequence using a function of the preceding term. Each term is the sum of the previous term and the

common difference. For example, if the common difference is 5, then each term is the previous term plus 5. As with any recursive formula, the first term must be given. an = an − 1 + d  n ≥ 2

recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence  The recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence with common difference d is: an = an − 1 + d  n ≥ 2

How To…

Given an arithmetic sequence, write its recursive formula.

1.  Subtract any term from the subsequent term to find the common difference. 2.  State the initial term and substitute the common difference into the recursive formula for arithmetic sequences.

Example 4

Writing a Recursive Formula for an Arithmetic Sequence

Write a recursive formula for the arithmetic sequence. { −18, −7, 4, 15, 26, …} Solution The first term is given as −18. The common difference can be found by subtracting the first term from the

second term.

d = −7 − (−18) = 11 Substitute the initial term and the common difference into the recursive formula for arithmetic sequences.

a1 = −18



an = an − 1 + 11, for n ≥ 2

Analysis We see that the common difference is the slope of the line formed when we graph the terms of the sequence, as shown in Figure 3. The growth pattern of the sequence shows the constant difference of 11 units. an 30 20 10 0 −10

Q & A…

Do we have to subtract the first term from the second term to find the common difference?

No. We can subtract any term in the sequence from the subsequent term. It is, however, most common to subtract the first term from the second term because it is often the easiest method of finding the common difference.

SECTION 13.2  Arithmetic Sequences

Using Explicit Formulas for Arithmetic Sequences We can think of an arithmetic sequence as a function on the domain of the natural numbers; it is a linear function because it has a constant rate of change. The common difference is the constant rate of change, or the slope of the function. We can construct the linear function if we know the slope and the vertical intercept. an = a1 + d(n − 1) To find the y-intercept of the function, we can subtract the common difference from the first term of the sequence. Consider the following sequence. −50 {200,

−50 150,

−50 100,

−50 50,

0, ...}

The common difference is −50, so the sequence represents a linear function with a slope of −50. To find the y-intercept, we subtract −50 from 200: 200 − ( −50) = 200 + 50 = 250. You can also find the y -intercept by graphing the function and determining where a line that connects the points would intersect the vertical axis. The graph is shown in Figure 4. an 250 200 150 100 50 0

Recall the slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx + b. When dealing with sequences, we use an in place of y and n in place of x. If we know the slope and vertical intercept of the function, we can substitute them for m and b in the slopeintercept form of a line. Substituting − 50 for the slope and 250 for the vertical intercept, we get the following equation: an = −50n + 250 We do not need to find the vertical intercept to write an explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence. Another explicit formula for this sequence is an = 200 − 50(n − 1), which simplifies to an = −50n + 250.

explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence  An explicit formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by an = a1 + d (n − 1)

How To…

Given the first several terms for an arithmetic sequence, write an explicit formula.

1.  Find the common difference, a2 − a1. 2.  Substitute the common difference and the first term into an = a1 + d(n − 1).

Finding the Number of Terms in a Finite Arithmetic Sequence Explicit formulas can be used to determine the number of terms in a finite arithmetic sequence. We need to find the common difference, and then determine how many times the common difference must be added to the first term to obtain the final term of the sequence.

How To…

Solving Application Problems with Arithmetic Sequences In many application problems, it often makes sense to use an initial term of a0 instead of a1. In these problems, we alter the explicit formula slightly to account for the difference in initial terms. We use the following formula: an = a0 + dn



Example 7

Solving Application Problems with Arithmetic Sequences

A five-year old child receives an allowance of $1 each week. His parents promise him an annual increase of $2 per week. a.  Write a formula for the child’s weekly allowance in a given year. b.  What will the child’s allowance be when he is 16 years old? Solution

a. The situation can be modeled by an arithmetic sequence with an initial term of 1 and a common difference of 2.



Let A be the amount of the allowance and n be the number of years after age 5. Using the altered explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence we get: An = 1 + 2n b.  We can find the number of years since age 5 by subtracting.

16  − 5 = 11



We are looking for the child’s allowance after 11 years. Substitute 11 into the formula to find the child’s allowance at age 16. A11 = 1 + 2(11) = 23 The child’s allowance at age 16 will be $23 per week.

SECTION 13.3  Geometric Sequences

Learning Objectives In this section, you will: • Find the common ratio for a geometric sequence. • List the terms of a geometric sequence. • Use a recursive formula for a geometric sequence. • Use an explicit formula for a geometric sequence.

13. 3 Geometric Sequences Many jobs offer an annual cost-of-living increase to keep salaries consistent with inflation. Suppose, for example, a recent college graduate finds a position as a sales manager earning an annual salary of $26,000. He is promised a 2% cost of living increase each year. His annual salary in any given year can be found by multiplying his salary from the previous year by 102%. His salary will be $26,520 after one year; $27,050.40 after two years; $27,591.41 after three years; and so on. When a salary increases by a constant rate each year, the salary grows by a constant factor. In this section, we will review sequences that grow in this way.

Finding Common Ratios The yearly salary values described form a geometric sequence because they change by a constant factor each year. Each term of a geometric sequence increases or decreases by a constant factor called the common ratio. The sequence below is an example of a geometric sequence because each term increases by a constant factor of 6. Multiplying any term of the sequence by the common ratio 6 generates the subsequent term.

definition of a geometric sequence  A geometric sequence is one in which any term divided by the previous term is a constant. This constant is called the common ratio of the sequence. 12 The common ratio can be found by dividing any term in the sequence by the previous term. If a1 is the initial term of a geometric sequence and r is the common ratio, the sequence will be {a1, a1r, a1r 2, a1r 3, ... }.

No. If you know that the sequence is geometric, you can choose any one term in the sequence and divide it by the previous term to find the common ratio.

Writing Terms of Geometric Sequences Now that we can identify a geometric sequence, we will learn how to find the terms of a geometric sequence if we are given the first term and the common ratio. The terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. For instance, if the first term of a geometric sequence is a1 = −2 and the common ratio is r = 4, we can find subsequent terms by multiplying −2 ⋅ 4 to get −8 then multiplying the result −8 ⋅ 4 to get −32 and so on. a1 = −2

a2 = (−2 ⋅ 4) = −8



a3 = (−8 ⋅ 4) = −32

The first four terms are {−2, −8, −32, −128}.

a4 = (−32 ⋅ 4) = −128

How To…

Given the first term and the common factor, find the first four terms of a geometric sequence.

1.  Multiply the initial term, a1, by the common ratio to find the next term, a2. 2.  Repeat the process, using an = a2 to find a3 and then a3 to find a 4, until all four terms have been identified. 3.  Write the terms separated by commons within brackets.

Using Recursive Formulas for Geometric Sequences A recursive formula allows us to find any term of a geometric sequence by using the previous term. Each term is the product of the common ratio and the previous term. For example, suppose the common ratio is 9. Then each term is nine times the previous term. As with any recursive formula, the initial term must be given.

How To…

Given the first several terms of a geometric sequence, write its recursive formula.

1.  State the initial term. 2.  Find the common ratio by dividing any term by the preceding term. 3.  Substitute the common ratio into the recursive formula for a geometric sequence.

In 2013, the number of students in a small school is 284. It is estimated that the student population will increase by 4% each year. a.  Write a formula for the student population. b.  Estimate the student population in 2020. Solution

a. The situation can be modeled by a geometric sequence with an initial term of 284. The student population will be 104% of the prior year, so the common ratio is 1.04. Let P be the student population and n be the number of years after 2013. Using the explicit formula for a geometric sequence we get Pn = 284 ⋅ 1.04n



b. We can find the number of years since 2013 by subtracting. 2020  − 2013 = 7 We are looking for the population after 7 years. We can substitute 7 for n to estimate the population in 2020.

Learning Objectives In this section, you will: • Use summation notation. • Use the formula for the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series. • Use the formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric series. • Use the formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series. • Solve annuity problems.

13. 4  Series and their notations A couple decides to start a college fund for their daughter. They plan to invest $50 in the fund each month. The fund pays 6% annual interest, compounded monthly. How much money will they have saved when their daughter is ready to start college in 6 years? In this section, we will learn how to answer this question. To do so, we need to consider the amount of money invested and the amount of interest earned.

Using Summation Notation To find the total amount of money in the college fund and the sum of the amounts deposited, we need to add the amounts deposited each month and the amounts earned monthly. The sum of the terms of a sequence is called a series. Consider, for example, the following series. 3  + 7 + 11 + 15 + 19 + ... The nth partial sum of a series is the sum of a finite number of consecutive terms beginning with the first term. The notation Sn represents the partial sum. S1 = 3

S2 = 3 + 7 = 10



S3 = 3 + 7 + 11 = 21



S4 = 3 + 7 + 11 + 15 = 36

Summation notation is used to represent series. Summation notation is often known as sigma notation because it uses the Greek capital letter sigma, Σ, to represent the sum. Summation notation includes an explicit formula and specifies the first and last terms in the series. An explicit formula for each term of the series is given to the right of the sigma. A variable called the index of summation is written below the sigma. The index of summation is set equal to the lower limit of summation, which is the number used to generate the first term in the series. The number above the sigma, called the upper limit of summation, is the number used to generate the last term in a series.

Using the Formula for Arithmetic Series Just as we studied special types of sequences, we will look at special types of series. Recall that an arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which the difference between any two consecutive terms is the common difference, d. The sum of the terms of an arithmetic sequence is called an arithmetic series. We can write the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series as:

Sn = a1 + (a1 + d) + (a1 + 2d) + ... + (an − d) + an.

We can also reverse the order of the terms and write the sum as

Sn = an + (an − d) + (an − 2d) + ... + (a1 + d) + a1.

If we add these two expressions for the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series, we can derive a formula for the sum of the first n terms of any arithmetic series.

SECTION 13.4  Series and their notations

Sn = a1 + (a1 + d) + (a1 + 2d) + ... + (an − d) + an

2Sn = (a1 + an) + (a1 + an) + ... + (a1 + an) Because there are n terms in the series, we can simplify this sum to 2Sn = n(a1 + an).

We divide by 2 to find the formula for the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series. n(a1 + an)  ​     Sn = ​  __________ 2

We are looking for the total 2 4 number of miles walked after 8 weeks, so we know that n = 8, and we are looking for S8. To find a8, we can use the explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence.

an = a1 + d(n − 1)



1 1 9 a8 = ​  __ ​   + ​  __ ​ (8  − 1) = ​  __ ​  2 4 4

We can now use the formula for arithmetic series.

n(a1 + an)  ​ Sn = ​  _     2 1 9 8​  ​  __ ​   + ​  __ ​    ​ 2 4 __  ​   = 11   S8 =   ​  2 She will have walked a total of 11 miles.

SECTION 13.4  Series and their notations

Using the Formula for Geometric Series Just as the sum of the terms of an arithmetic sequence is called an arithmetic series, the sum of the terms in a geometric sequence is called a geometric series. Recall that a geometric sequence is a sequence in which the ratio of any two consecutive terms is the common ratio, r. We can write the sum of the first n terms of a geometric series as Sn = a1 + ra1 + r2a1 + ... + rn – 1a1.



Just as with arithmetic series, we can do some algebraic manipulation to derive a formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric series. We will begin by multiplying both sides of the equation by r. rSn = ra1 + r 2a1 + r 3a1 + ... + r na1



Next, we subtract this equation from the original equation.

Sn = a1 + ra1 + r 2a1 + ... + r n – 1 a1.



−rSn = −(ra1 + r 2a1 + r 3a1 + ... + r na1)

(1  − r)Sn = a1 − r n a1 Notice that when we subtract, all but the first term of the top equation and the last term of the bottom equation cancel out. To obtain a formula for Sn, divide both sides by (1 − r). a1(1 − rn)  ​  r≠1   Sn = ​  _________ 1 − r



formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric series  A geometric series is the sum of the terms in a geometric sequence. The formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric sequence is represented as a1(1 − r n)  ​  r≠1   Sn = ​  _________ 1 − r

Using the Formula for the Sum of an Infinite Geometric Series Thus far, we have looked only at finite series. Sometimes, however, we are interested in the sum of the terms of an infinite sequence rather than the sum of only the first n terms. An infinite series is the sum of the terms of an infinite sequence. An example of an infinite series is 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + ... ∞

∑

This series can also be written in summation notation as ​ ​   ​2k​, where the upper limit of summation is infinity. Because k = 1

the terms are not tending to zero, the sum of the series increases without bound as we add more terms. Therefore, the sum of this infinite series is not defined. When the sum is not a real number, we say the series diverges.

Determining Whether the Sum of an Infinite Geometric Series is Defined If the terms of an infinite geometric series approach 0, the sum of an infinite geometric series can be defined. The terms in this series approach 0: 1 + 0.2 + 0.04 + 0.008 + 0.0016 + ...

SECTION 13.4  Series and their notations

The common ratio r = 0.2. As n gets very large, the values of rn get very small and approach 0. Each successive term affects the sum less than the preceding term. As each succeeding term gets closer to 0, the sum of the terms approaches a finite value. The terms of any infinite geometric series with −1 < r < 1 approach 0; the sum of a geometric series is defined when −1 < r < 1.

determining whether the sum of an infinite geometric series is defined  The sum of an infinite series is defined if the series is geometric and −1 < r < 1.

How To…

Given the first several terms of an infinite series, determine if the sum of the series exists.

1.  Find the ratio of the second term to the first term. 2.  Find the ratio of the third term to the second term. 3.  Continue this process to ensure the ratio of a term to the preceding term is constant throughout. If so, the series

is geometric.

4.  If a common ratio, r, was found in step 3, check to see if −1 < r < 1 . If so, the sum is defined. If not, the sum is

not defined.

​Solving Annuity Problems At the beginning of the section, we looked at a problem in which a couple invested a set amount of money each month into a college fund for six years. An annuity is an investment in which the purchaser makes a sequence of periodic, equal payments. To find the amount of an annuity, we need to find the sum of all the payments and the interest earned. In the example, the couple invests $50 each month. This is the value of the initial deposit. The account paid 6% annual interest, compounded monthly. To find the interest rate per payment period, we need to divide the 6% annual percentage interest (APR) rate by 12. So the monthly interest rate is 0.5%. We can multiply the amount in the account each month by 100.5% to find the value of the account after interest has been added. We can find the value of the annuity right after the last deposit by using a geometric series with a1 = 50 and r = 100.5% = 1.005. After the first deposit, the value of the annuity will be $50. Let us see if we can determine the amount in the college fund and the interest earned. We can find the value of the annuity after n deposits using the formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric series. In 6 years, there are 72 months, so n = 72. We can substitute a1 = 50, r = 1.005, and n = 72 into the formula, and simplify to find the value of the annuity after 6 years. 50(1 − 1.00572) S72 = ​  _____________     ​  ≈ 4,320.44 1 − 1.005 After the last deposit, the couple will have a total of $4,320.44 in the account. Notice, the couple made 72 payments of $50 each for a total of 72(50) = $3,600. This means that because of the annuity, the couple earned $720.44 interest in their college fund.

Solving an Annuity Problem

A deposit of $100 is placed into a college fund at the beginning of every month for 10 years. The fund earns 9% annual interest, compounded monthly, and paid at the end of the month. How much is in the account right after the last deposit? Solution The value of the initial deposit is $100, so a1 = 100. A total of 120 monthly deposits are made in the 10 years,

so n = 120. To find r, divide the annual interest rate by 12 to find the monthly interest rate and add 1 to represent the new monthly deposit.

0.09 r = 1 + ​  ____ ​  = 1.0075 12 Substitute a1 = 100, r = 1.0075, and n = 120 into the formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric series, and simplify to find the value of the annuity.



100(1 − 1.0075120) S120 = ​  _______________        ​ ≈ 19,351.43 1 − 1.0075 So the account has $19,351.43 after the last deposit is made.

13. 5  Counting Principles A new company sells customizable cases for tablets and smartphones. Each case comes in a variety of colors and can be personalized for an additional fee with images or a monogram. A customer can choose not to personalize or could choose to have one, two, or three images or a monogram. The customer can choose the order of the images and the letters in the monogram. The company is working with an agency to develop a marketing campaign with a focus on the huge number of options they offer. Counting the possibilities is challenging! We encounter a wide variety of counting problems every day. There is a branch of mathematics devoted to the study of counting problems such as this one. Other applications of counting include secure passwords, horse racing outcomes, and college scheduling choices. We will examine this type of mathematics in this section.

Using the Addition Principle The company that sells customizable cases offers cases for tablets and smartphones. There are 3 supported tablet models and 5 supported smartphone models. The Addition Principle tells us that we can add the number of tablet options to the number of smartphone options to find the total number of options. By the Addition Principle, there are 8 total options, as we can see in Figure 1.

If there are 2 appetizer options, 3 entrée options, and 2 dessert options on a fixedprice dinner menu, there are a total of 12 possible choices of one each as shown in the tree diagram in Figure 2.

CHAPTER 13  Sequences, Probability and Counting Theory

the Multiplication Principle  According to the Multiplication Principle, if one event can occur in m ways and a second event can occur in n ways after the first event has occurred, then the two events can occur in m × n ways. This is also known as the Fundamental Counting Principle. Example 2

Using the Multiplication Principle

Diane packed 2 skirts, 4 blouses, and a sweater for her business trip. She will need to choose a skirt and a blouse for each outfit and decide whether to wear the sweater. Use the Multiplication Principle to find the total number of possible outfits. Solution To find the total number of outfits, find the product of the number of skirt options, the number of blouse

options, and the number of sweater options.

# of skirt options × # of blouse options × # of sweater options 2 × 4 × 2 = 16 There are 16 possible outfits.

Try It #2 A restaurant offers a breakfast special that includes a breakfast sandwich, a side dish, and a beverage. There are 3 types of breakfast sandwiches, 4 side dish options, and 5 beverage choices. Find the total number of possible breakfast specials.

Finding the Number of Permutations of n Distinct Objects The Multiplication Principle can be used to solve a variety of problem types. One type of problem involves placing objects in order. We arrange letters into words and digits into numbers, line up for photographs, decorate rooms, and more. An ordering of objects is called a permutation.

Finding the Number of Permutations of n Distinct Objects Using the Multiplication Principle To solve permutation problems, it is often helpful to draw line segments for each option. That enables us to determine the number of each option so we can multiply. For instance, suppose we have four paintings, and we want to find the number of ways we can hang three of the paintings in order on the wall. We can draw three lines to represent the three places on the wall.   ×    ×  There are four options for the first place, so we write a 4 on the first line.

  × 

  × 

After the first place has been filled, there are three options for the second place so we write a 3 on the second line. 3 4   ×    ×  After the second place has been filled, there are two options for the third place so we write a 2 on the third line. Finally, we find the product. 4 2 3   ×    ×   = 24 There are 24 possible permutations of the paintings.

How To…

Given n distinct options, determine how many permutations there are.

1.  Determine how many options there are for the first situation. 2.  Determine how many options are left for the second situation. 3.  Continue until all of the spots are filled. 4.  Multiply the numbers together.

CHAPTER 13  Sequences, Probability and Counting Theory

Finding the Number of Permutations of n Distinct Objects Using a Formula For some permutation problems, it is inconvenient to use the Multiplication Principle because there are so many numbers to multiply. Fortunately, we can solve these problems using a formula. Before we learn the formula, let’s look at two common notations for permutations. If we have a set of n objects and we want to choose r objects from the set in order, we write P (n, r). Another way to write this is nPr, a notation commonly seen on computers and calculators. To calculate P(n, r), we begin by finding n!, the number of ways to line up all n objects. We then divide by (n − r)! to cancel out the (n − r) items that we do not wish to line up. Let’s see how this works with a simple example. Imagine a club of six people. They need to elect a president, a vice president, and a treasurer. Six people can be elected president, any one of the five remaining people can be elected vice president, and any of the remaining four people could be elected treasurer. The number of ways this may be done is 6 × 5 × 4 = 120. Using factorials, we get the same result. 6! 6 · 5 · 4 · 3! ​  __ ​   = ​  _________  = 6 · 5 · 4 = 120  ​   3! 3! There are 120 ways to select 3 officers in order from a club with 6 members. We refer to this as a permutation of 6 taken 3 at a time. The general formula is as follows. n! P(n, r) = ​  _______      ​ (n − r)! Note that the formula stills works if we are choosing all n objects and placing them in order. In that case we would be dividing by (n − n)! or 0!, which we said earlier is equal to 1. So the number of permutations of n objects taken n n! at a time is ​ __ ​  or just n!. 1

formula for permutations of n distinct objects  Given n distinct objects, the number of ways to select r objects from the set in order is n!    ​  P(n, r) = ​  _______ (n − r)!

How To…

Given a word problem, evaluate the possible permutations.

1.  Identify n from the given information. 2.  Identify r from the given information. 3.  Replace n and r in the formula with the given values. 4.  Evaluate.

Example 4

Finding the Number of Permutations Using the Formula

A professor is creating an exam of 9 questions from a test bank of 12 questions. How many ways can she select and arrange the questions? Solution Substitute n = 12 and r = 9 into the permutation formula and simplify.

n!    ​  P(n, r) = ​  _______ (n − r)! 12! 12!    ​   = ​  ___ ​  = 79,833,600 P(12, 9) = ​  ________ (12 − 9)! 3! There are 79,833,600 possible permutations of exam questions!

Analysis We can also use a calculator to find permutations. For this problem, we would enter 15, press the [nPr function], enter [12], and then press the equal sign. The [nPr function] may be located under the [MATH] menu with probability commands.

Q & A…

Could we have solved Example 4 using the Multiplication Principle?

Yes. We could have multiplied 15 ⋅ 14 ⋅ 13 ⋅ 12 ⋅ 11 ⋅ 10 ⋅ 9 ⋅ 8 ⋅ 7 ⋅ 6 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 4 to find the same answer.

Try It #7 A play has a cast of 7 actors preparing to make their curtain call. Use the permutation formula to find how many ways 5 of the 7 actors can be chosen to line up.

Find the Number of Combinations Using the Formula So far, we have looked at problems asking us to put objects in order. There are many problems in which we want to select a few objects from a group of objects, but we do not care about the order. When we are selecting objects and the order does not matter, we are dealing with combinations. A selection of r objects from a set of n objects where the order does not matter can be written as C (n, r). Just as with permutations, C(n, r) can also be written as nCr. In this case, the general formula is as follows. n! C (n, r) = ​  _________    ​  r!(n − r)! An earlier problem considered choosing 3 of 4 possible paintings to hang on a wall. We found that there were 24 ways to select 3 of the 4 paintings in order. But what if we did not care about the order? We would expect a smaller number because selecting paintings 1, 2, 3 would be the same as selecting paintings 2, 3, 1. To find the number of ways to select 3 of the 4 paintings, disregarding the order of the paintings, divide the number of permutations by the number 24 of ways to order 3 paintings. There are 3! = 3 · 2 · 1 = 6 ways to order 3 paintings. There are ​ ___ ​  , or 4 ways to select 6 3 of the 4 paintings. This number makes sense because every time we are selecting 3 paintings, we are not selecting 1 painting. There are 4 paintings we could choose not to select, so there are 4 ways to select 3 of the 4 paintings.

formula for combinations of n distinct objects  Given n distinct objects, the number of ways to select r objects from the set is n!    ​  C (n, r) = ​  _________ r!(n − r)!

How To…

Given a number of options, determine the possible number of combinations.

1.  Identify n from the given information. 2.  Identify r from the given information. 3.  Replace n and r in the formula with the given values. 4.  Evaluate.

a.  We want to choose 2 side dishes from 5 options.

5! C(5, 2) = ​  ________      ​  = 10 2!(5 − 2)! b.  We want to choose 3 side dishes from 5 options. 5! C(5, 3) = ​  ________    ​   = 10 3!(5 − 3)!

Analysis We can also use a graphing calculator to find combinations. Enter 5, then press nCr, enter 3, and then press the equal sign. The nCr function may be located under the MATH menu with probability commands.

Q & A…

Is it a coincidence that parts ( a) and ( b) in Example 5 have the same answers?

No. When we choose r objects from n objects, we are not choosing (n − r) objects. Therefore, C(n, r) = C(n, n − r).

Try It #8 An ice cream shop offers 10 flavors of ice cream. How many ways are there to choose 3 flavors for a banana split?

Finding the Number of Subsets of a Set We have looked only at combination problems in which we chose exactly r objects. In some problems, we want to consider choosing every possible number of objects. Consider, for example, a pizza restaurant that offers 5 toppings. Any number of toppings can be ordered. How many different pizzas are possible? To answer this question, we need to consider pizzas with any number of toppings. There is C(5, 0) = 1 way to order a pizza with no toppings. There are C(5, 1) = 5 ways to order a pizza with exactly one topping. If we continue this process, we get C(5, 0) + C(5, 1) + C(5, 2) + C(5, 3) + C(5, 4) + C(5, 5) = 32 There are 32 possible pizzas. This result is equal to 25. We are presented with a sequence of choices. For each of the n objects we have two choices: include it in the subset or not. So for the whole subset we have made n choices, each with two options. So there are a total of 2 · 2 · 2 · … · 2 possible resulting subsets, all the way from the empty subset, which we obtain when we say “no” each time, to the original set itself, which we obtain when we say “yes” each time.

formula for the number of subsets of a set  A set containing n distinct objects has 2n subsets. Example 6

Finding the Number of Subsets of a Set

A restaurant offers butter, cheese, chives, and sour cream as toppings for a baked potato. How many different ways are there to order a potato? Solution We are looking for the number of subsets of a set with 4 objects. Substitute n = 4 into the formula.

2n = 24

= 16

There are 16 possible ways to order a potato.

Try It #9 A sundae bar at a wedding has 6 toppings to choose from. Any number of toppings can be chosen. How many different sundaes are possible?

Finding the Number of Permutations of n Non-Distinct Objects We have studied permutations where all of the objects involved were distinct. What happens if some of the objects are indistinguishable? For example, suppose there is a sheet of 12 stickers. If all of the stickers were distinct, there would be 12! ways to order the stickers. However, 4 of the stickers are identical stars, and 3 are identical moons. Because all of the objects are not distinct, many of the 12! permutations we counted are duplicates. The general formula for this situation is as follows.

SECTION 13.5  Counting Principles

1107

n! ​  __________      ​ r1! r2 ! … rk ! In this example, we need to divide by the number of ways to order the 4 stars and the ways to order the 3 moons to find the number of unique permutations of the stickers. There are 4! ways to order the stars and 3! ways to order the moon. 12! ​  ____  ​  = 3,326,400 4!3! There are 3,326,400 ways to order the sheet of stickers.

Learning Objectives In this section, you will: • Apply the Binomial Theorem.

13. 6 Binomial Theorem A polynomial with two terms is called a binomial. We have already learned to multiply binomials and to raise binomials to powers, but raising a binomial to a high power can be tedious and time-consuming. In this section, we will discuss a shortcut that will allow us to find (x + y)n without multiplying the binomial by itself n times.

Identifying Binomial Coefficients In Counting Principles, we studied combinations. In the shortcut to finding (x + y)n, we will need to use combinations n to find the coefficients that will appear in the expansion of the binomial.

Using the Binomial Theorem When we expand (x + y)n by multiplying, the result is called a binomial expansion, and it includes binomial coefficients. If we wanted to expand (x + y)52, we might multiply (x + y) by itself fifty-two times. This could take hours! If we examine some simple binomial expansions, we can find patterns that will lead us to a shortcut for finding more complicated binomial expansions. (x + y)2 = x 2 + 2xy + y 2 (x + y)3 = x 3 + 3x 2 y + 3xy 2 + y 3 (x + y)4 = x 4 + 4x 3 y + 6x 2 y 2 + 4xy 3 + y 4 First, let’s examine the exponents. With each successive term, the exponent for x decreases and the exponent for y increases. The sum of the two exponents is n for each term. Next, let’s examine the coefficients. Notice that the coefficients increase and then decrease in a symmetrical pattern. The coefficients follow a pattern: n n n n ​  ​  _0 ​   ,​ ​  ​  _1 ​   ,​ ​  ​  _2 ​   ​, ..., ​ ​  _n ​   .​ These patterns lead us to the Binomial Theorem, which can be used to expand any binomial. n

See Figure 1, which illustrates the following: • There are n + 1 terms in the expansion of (x + y)n. • The degree (or sum of the exponents) for each term is n. • The powers on x begin with n and decrease to 0. • The powers on y begin with 0 and increase to n. • The coefficients are symmetric. To determine the expansion on (x + y)5, we see n = 5, thus, there will be 5 + 1 = 6 terms. Each term has a combined degree of 5. In descending order for powers of x, the pattern is as follows: • Introduce x 5, and then for each successive term reduce the exponent on x by 1 until x 0 = 1 is reached. • Introduce y 0 = 1, and then increase the exponent on y by 1 until y 5 is reached. x5, x 4y, x3y 2, x 2y 3, xy 4, y 5 The next expansion would be (x + y)5 = x5 + 5x 4y + 10x 3y2 + 10x 2y 3 + 5xy 4 + y 5. But where do those coefficients come from? The binomial coefficients are symmetric. We can see these coefficients in an array known as Pascal's Triangle, shown in Figure 2. Pascal’s Triangle 1 1 1

In the nth row, flank the ends of the row with 1’s. Each element in the triangle is the sum of the two elements immediately above it.

Learning Objectives In this section, you will: • Construct probability models. • Compute probabilities of equally likely outcomes. • Compute probabilities of the union of two events. • Use the complement rule to find probabilities. • Compute probability using counting theory.

13.7 Probability

Figure 1  An example of a “spaghetti model,” which can be used to predict possible paths of a tropical storm.[34]

Residents of the Southeastern United States are all too familiar with charts, known as spaghetti models, such as the one in Figure 1. They combine a collection of weather data to predict the most likely path of a hurricane. Each colored line represents one possible path. The group of squiggly lines can begin to resemble strands of spaghetti, hence the name. In this section, we will investigate methods for making these types of predictions.

Constructing Probability Models Suppose we roll a six-sided number cube. Rolling a number cube is an example of an experiment, or an activity with an observable result. The numbers on the cube are possible results, or outcomes, of this experiment. The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment is called the sample space of the experiment. The sample space for this experiment is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. An event is any subset of a sample space. The likelihood of an event is known as probability. The probability of an event p is a number that always satisfies 0 ≤ p ≤ 1, where 0 indicates an impossible event and 1 indicates a certain event. A probability model is a mathematical description of an experiment listing all possible outcomes and their associated probabilities. For instance, if there is a 1% chance of winning a raffle and a 99% chance of losing the raffle, a probability model would look much like Table 1. Outcome Winning the raffle Losing the raffle

Probability 1% 99% Table 1

The sum of the probabilities listed in a probability model must equal 1, or 100%. 34  The figure is for illustrative purposes only and does not model any particular storm.

CHAPTER 13  Sequences, Probability and Counting Theory

How To…

Given a probability event where each event is equally likely, construct a probability model. 1.  Identify every outcome. 2.  Determine the total number of possible outcomes. 3.  Compare each outcome to the total number of possible outcomes.

Example 1

Constructing a Probability Model

Construct a probability model for rolling a single, fair die, with the event being the number shown on the die. Solution Begin by making a list of all possible outcomes for the experiment. The possible outcomes are the numbers

that can be rolled: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. There are six possible outcomes that make up the sample space.

Assign probabilities to each outcome in the sample space by determining a ratio of the outcome to the number of possible outcomes. There is one of each of the six numbers on the cube, and there is no reason to think that any 1 particular face is more likely to show up than any other one, so the probability of rolling any number is ​ __ ​ . 6 Outcome Probability

Roll of 1 1 ​  __ ​  6

Roll of 2 1 ​  __ ​  6

Roll of 3 1 ​  __ ​  6

Roll of 4 1 ​  __ ​  6

Roll of 5 1 ​  __ ​  6

Roll of 6 1 ​  __ ​  6

Q & A…

Do probabilities always have to be expressed as fractions? No. Probabilities can be expressed as fractions, decimals, or percents. Probability must always be a number between 0 and 1, inclusive of 0 and 1.

Try It #1

Construct a probability model for tossing a fair coin.

Computing Probabilities of Equally Likely Outcomes Let S be a sample space for an experiment. When investigating probability, an event is any subset of S. When the outcomes of an experiment are all equally likely, we can find the probability of an event by dividing the number of outcomes in the event by the total number of outcomes in S. Suppose a number cube is rolled, and we are interested in finding the probability of the event “rolling a number less than or equal to 4.” There are 4 possible outcomes in the 4 2 event and 6 possible outcomes in S, so the probability of the event is ​ __ ​   = ​  __ ​ . 6 3

computing the probability of an event with equally likely outcomes  The probability of an event E in an experiment with sample space S with equally likely outcomes is given by n(E) number of elements in E    ​ = ​  ____ ​  P(E) = ​  ____________________ number of elements in S n(S) E is a subset of S, so it is always true that 0 ≤ P(E) ≤ 1.

Computing the Probability of the Union of Two Events We are often interested in finding the probability that one of multiple events occurs. Suppose we are playing a card game, and we will win if the next card drawn is either a heart or a king. We would be interested in finding the probability of the next card being a heart or a king. The union of two events E and F, written E ∪ F, is the event that occurs if either or both events occur. P(E ∪ F) = P(E) + P(F) − P(E ∩ F) Suppose the spinner in Figure 2 is spun. We want to find the probability of spinning orange or spinning a b. a

So the probability of spinning a b is ​ __  ​  = ​  __  ​. If we added these two 6 3 probabilities, we would be counting the sector that is both orange and a b twice. To find the probability of spinning an orange or a b, we need to subtract the probability that the sector is both orange and has a b. 1 1 2 1 ​  __  ​  + ​  __ ​   − ​  __ ​   = ​  __ ​  2 3 6 3 2 The probability of spinning orange or a b is ​ __ ​ . 3

probability of the union of two events  The probability of the union of two events E and F (written E ∪ F) equals the sum of the probability of E and the probability of F minus the probability of E and F occurring together (which is called the intersection of E and F and is written as E ∩ F). P(E ∪ F) = P(E) + P(F) − P(E ∩ F) Example 3

Computing the Probability of the Union of Two Events

A card is drawn from a standard deck. Find the probability of drawing a heart or a 7. Solution A standard deck contains an equal number of hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades. So the probability

1 of drawing a heart is ​ __  ​. There are four 7s in a standard deck, and there are a total of 52 cards.

Try It #3 A card is drawn from a standard deck. Find the probability of drawing a red card or an ace.

Computing the Probability of Mutually Exclusive Events Suppose the spinner in Figure 2 is spun again, but this time we are interested in the probability of spinning an orange or a d. There are no sectors that are both orange and contain a d, so these two events have no outcomes in common. Events are said to be mutually exclusive events when they have no outcomes in common. Because there is no overlap, there is nothing to subtract, so the general formula is P(E ∪ F) = P(E) + P(F)



Notice that with mutually exclusive events, the intersection of E and F is the empty set. The probability of spinning 3 1 1 an orange is ​ __  ​  = ​  __ ​  and the probability of spinning a d is ​ __  ​. We can find the probability of spinning an orange or a 6 2 6 d simply by adding the two probabilities. P(E ∪ F) = P(E) + P(F)

probability of the union of mutually exclusive events  The probability of the union of two mutually exclusive events E and F is given by P(E ∪ F) = P(E) + P(F)

How To…

Given a set of events, compute the probability of the union of mutually exclusive events.

1.  Determine the total number of outcomes for the first event. 2.  Find the probability of the first event. 3.  Determine the total number of outcomes for the second event. 4.  Find the probability of the second event. 5.  Add the probabilities.

Computing the Probability of the Union of Mutually Exclusive Events

A card is drawn from a standard deck. Find the probability of drawing a heart or a spade. Solution  The events “drawing a heart” and “drawing a spade” are mutually exclusive because they cannot occur

1 1 at the same time. The probability of drawing a heart is ​ __  ​, and the probability of drawing a spade is also ​ __  ​, so the 4 4 probability of drawing a heart or a spade is

SECTION 13.7  Probability

Complement Rule to Compute Probabilities We have discussed how to calculate the probability that an event will happen. Sometimes, we are interested in finding the probability that an event will not happen. The complement of an event E, denoted E′, is the set of outcomes in the sample space that are not in E. For example, suppose we are interested in the probability that a horse will lose a race. If event W is the horse winning the race, then the complement of event W is the horse losing the race. To find the probability that the horse loses the race, we need to use the fact that the sum of all probabilities in a probability model must be 1. P(E′) = 1 − P(E) The probability of the horse winning added to the probability of the horse losing must be equal to 1. Therefore, if the 1 probability of the horse winning the race is ​ __ ​ , the probability of the horse losing the race is simply 9 8 1 1  − ​  __  ​  = ​  __ ​  9 9

the complement rule  The probability that the complement of an event will occur is given by P(E′) = 1 − P(E)

Example 5

Using the Complement Rule to Calculate Probabilities

Two six-sided number cubes are rolled. a.  Find the probability that the sum of the numbers rolled is less than or equal to 3. b.  Find the probability that the sum of the numbers rolled is greater than 3. Solution  The first step is to identify the sample space, which consists of all the possible outcomes. There are two

number cubes, and each number cube has six possible outcomes. Using the Multiplication Principle, we find that there are 6 × 6, or 36 total possible outcomes. So, for example, 1-1 represents a 1 rolled on each number cube. 1-1 2-1 3-1 4-1 5-1 6-1

1-2 2-2 3-2 4-2 5-2 6-2

1-3 2-3 3-3 4-3 5-3 6-3

1-4 2-4 3-4 4-4 5-4 6-4

1-5 2-5 3-5 4-5 5-5 6-5

1-6 2-6 3-6 4-6 5-6 6-6

Table 3

a. We need to count the number of ways to roll a sum of 3 or less. These would include the following outcomes: 1-1, 1-2, and 2-1. So there are only three ways to roll a sum of 3 or less. The probability is 1 3 ​  ___   ​  = ​  ___   ​ 36 12 b. Rather than listing all the possibilities, we can use the Complement Rule. Because we have already found the probability of the complement of this event, we can simply subtract that probability from 1 to find the probability that the sum of the numbers rolled is greater than 3.

P(E′) = 1 − P(E) 1 = 1 − ​  ___   ​ 12 11 = ​  ___ ​  12

Try It #5 Two number cubes are rolled. Use the Complement Rule to find the probability that the sum is less than 10.

CHAPTER 13  Sequences, Probability and Counting Theory

Computing Probability Using Counting Theory Many interesting probability problems involve counting principles, permutations, and combinations. In these problems, we will use permutations and combinations to find the number of elements in events and sample spaces. These problems can be complicated, but they can be made easier by breaking them down into smaller counting problems. Assume, for example, that a store has 8 cellular phones and that 3 of those are defective. We might want to find the probability that a couple purchasing 2 phones receives 2 phones that are not defective. To solve this problem, we need to calculate all of the ways to select 2 phones that are not defective as well as all of the ways to select 2 phones. There are 5 phones that are not defective, so there are C(5, 2) ways to select 2 phones that are not defective. There are 8 phones, so there are C(8, 2) ways to select 2 phones. The probability of selecting 2 phones that are not defective is: ways to select 2 phones that are not defective _ C(5, 2)  ​  = ​   ​             ​  ____ C(8, 2) ways to select 2 phones 10 = ​  ___  ​ 28 5 = ​  ___  ​  14



Example 6

Computing Probability Using Counting Theory

A child randomly selects 5 toys from a bin containing 3 bunnies, 5 dogs, and 6 bears. a.  Find the probability that only bears are chosen. b.  Find the probability that 2 bears and 3 dogs are chosen. c.  Find the probability that at least 2 dogs are chosen. Solution

a. We need to count the number of ways to choose only bears and the total number of possible ways to select 5 toys. There are 6 bears, so there are C(6, 5) ways to choose 5 bears. There are 14 toys, so there are C(14, 5) ways to choose any 5 toys. 6 3 C(6, 5)        ​   ​   = ​  _____  ​  = ​  _____ ​  _______  C(14, 5) 2,002 1,001 b. We need to count the number of ways to choose 2 bears and 3 dogs and the total number of possible ways to select 5 toys. There are 6 bears, so there are C(6, 2) ways to choose 2 bears. There are 5 dogs, so there are C(5, 3) ways to choose 3 dogs. Since we are choosing both bears and dogs at the same time, we will use the Multiplication Principle. There are C(6, 2) ⋅ C(5, 3) ways to choose 2 bears and 3 dogs. We can use this result to find the probability. 15 ⋅ 10 75 C(6, 2)C(5, 3) ______       ​   ​   = ​   ​  = ​  _____ ​  ____________ C(14, 5) 2,002 1,001 c. It is often easiest to solve “at least” problems using the Complement Rule. We will begin by finding the probability that fewer than 2 dogs are chosen. If less than 2 dogs are chosen, then either no dogs could be chosen, or 1 dog could be chosen. When no dogs are chosen, all 5 toys come from the 9 toys that are not dogs. There are C(9, 5) ways to choose toys from the 9 toys that are not dogs. Since there are 14 toys, there are C(14, 5) ways to choose the 5 toys from all of the toys. 63 C(9, 5) _____      ​  = ​  ​  _______ ​   C(14,5) 1,001 If there is 1 dog chosen, then 4 toys must come from the 9 toys that are not dogs, and 1 must come from the 5 dogs. Since we are choosing both dogs and other toys at the same time, we will use the Multiplication Principle. There are C(5, 1) ⋅ C(9, 4) ways to choose 1 dog and 1 other toy. 5 ⋅ 126 315 C(5, 1)C(9, 4) ______     ​   = ​   ​  = ​  _____  ​  ​  ____________ C(14, 5) 2,002 1,001

SECTION 13.7  Probability

Because these events would not occur together and are therefore mutually exclusive, we add the probabilities to find the probability that fewer than 2 dogs are chosen. 63 315 378 ​  _____    ​  + ​ _____  ​  = ​  _____  ​  1,001 1,001 1,001 We then subtract that probability from 1 to find the probability that at least 2 dogs are chosen. 378 623 1  − ​  _____  ​  = ​  _____  ​  1,001 1,001

CHAPTER 13  Sequences, Probability and Counting Theory

Key Concepts 13.1 Sequences and Their Notations • A sequence is a list of numbers, called terms, written in a specific order. • Explicit formulas define each term of a sequence using the position of the term. See Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3. • An explicit formula for the nth term of a sequence can be written by analyzing the pattern of several terms. See Example 4. • Recursive formulas define each term of a sequence using previous terms. • Recursive formulas must state the initial term, or terms, of a sequence. • A set of terms can be written by using a recursive formula. See Example 5 and Example 6. • A factorial is a mathematical operation that can be defined recursively. • The factorial of n is the product of all integers from 1 to n See Example 7.

13.2 Arithmetic Sequences • An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where the difference between any two consecutive terms is a constant. • The constant between two consecutive terms is called the common difference. • The common difference is the number added to any one term of an arithmetic sequence that generates the subsequent term. See Example 1. • The terms of an arithmetic sequence can be found by beginning with the initial term and adding the common difference repeatedly. See Example 2 and Example 3. • A recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence with common difference d is given by an = an − 1 + d, n ≥ 2. See Example 4. • As with any recursive formula, the initial term of the sequence must be given. • An explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence with common difference d is given by an = a1 + d(n − 1). See Example 5. • An explicit formula can be used to find the number of terms in a sequence. See Example 6. • In application problems, we sometimes alter the explicit formula slightly to an = a0 + dn. See Example 7.

13.3 Geometric Sequences • A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the ratio between any two consecutive terms is a constant. • The constant ratio between two consecutive terms is called the common ratio. • The common ratio can be found by dividing any term in the sequence by the previous term. See Example 1. • The terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. See Example 2 and Example 4. • A recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an = ran − 1 for n ≥ 2 . • As with any recursive formula, the initial term of the sequence must be given. See Example 3. • An explicit formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an = a1r n − 1. See Example 5. • In application problems, we sometimes alter the explicit formula slightly to an = a0r n. See Example 6.

13.4 Series and Their Notations • The sum of the terms in a sequence is called a series. • A common notation for series is called summation notation, which uses the Greek letter sigma to represent the sum. See Example 1. • The sum of the terms in an arithmetic sequence is called an arithmetic series. • The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series can be found using a formula. See Example 2 and Example 3. • The sum of the terms in a geometric sequence is called a geometric series. • The sum of the first n terms of a geometric series can be found using a formula. See Example 4 and Example 5. • The sum of an infinite series exists if the series is geometric with −1 < r < 1.

CHAPTER 13  review • If the sum of an infinite series exists, it can be found using a formula. See Example 6, Example 7, and Example 8. • An annuity is an account into which the investor makes a series of regularly scheduled payments. The value of an annuity can be found using geometric series. See Example 9.

13.5 Counting Principles • If one event can occur in m ways and a second event with no common outcomes can occur in n ways, then the first or second event can occur in m + n ways. See Example 1. • If one event can occur in m ways and a second event can occur in n ways after the first event has occurred, then the two events can occur in m × n ways. See Example 2. • A permutation is an ordering of n objects. • If we have a set of n objects and we want to choose r objects from the set in order, we write P(n, r). • Permutation problems can be solved using the Multiplication Principle or the formula for P(n, r). See Example 3 and Example 4. • A selection of objects where the order does not matter is a combination. • Given n distinct objects, the number of ways to select r objects from the set is C (n, r) and can be found using a formula. See Example 5. • A set containing n distinct objects has 2n subsets. See Example 6. • For counting problems involving non-distinct objects, we need to divide to avoid counting duplicate permutations. See Example 7.

13.6 Binomial Theorem n • ​ ​_  ​ ​is called a binomial coefficient and is equal to C (n, r). See Example 1. r

• The Binomial Theorem allows us to expand binomials without multiplying. See Example 2. • We can find a given term of a binomial expansion without fully expanding the binomial. See Example 3.

13.7 Probability • Probability is always a number between 0 and 1, where 0 means an event is impossible and 1 means an event is certain. • The probabilities in a probability model must sum to 1. See Example 1. • When the outcomes of an experiment are all equally likely, we can find the probability of an event by dividing the number of outcomes in the event by the total number of outcomes in the sample space for the experiment. See Example 2. • To find the probability of the union of two events, we add the probabilities of the two events and subtract the probability that both events occur simultaneously. See Example 3. • To find the probability of the union of two mutually exclusive events, we add the probabilities of each of the events. See Example 4. • The probability of the complement of an event is the difference between 1 and the probability that the event occurs. See Example 5. • In some probability problems, we need to use permutations and combinations to find the number of elements in events and sample spaces. See Example 6.

1.  A relation is a set of ordered pairs. A function is a special kind of relation in which no two ordered pairs have the same first coordinate.    3.  When a vertical line intersects the graph of a relation more than once, that indicates that for that input there is more than one output. At any particular input value, there can be only one output if the relation is to be a function.     5.  When a horizontal line intersects the graph of a function more than once, that indicates that for that output there is more than one input. A function is one-to-one if each output corresponds to only one input. 7.  Function    9.  Function   11.  Function   13.  Function  15.  Function   17. Function   19. Function   21.  Function   23. Function   25. Not a function 27.  f (−3) = −11, f (2) = −1, f (−a) = −2a − 5, −f (a) = −2a + 5, — f (a + h) = 2a + 2h − 5   29.  f (−3) = ​​√ 5 ​​  + 5, f (2) = 5, —

Section 3.2 1.  The domain of a function depends upon what values of the independent variable make the function undefined or imaginary. 3 — 3.  There is no restriction on x for f (x) = ​​ √  x ​​ because you can take the cube root of any real number. So the domain is all real numbers, (−∞, ∞). When dealing with the set of real numbers, you cannot take the square root of negative numbers. So x-values — are restricted for f (x) = ​​√ x ​​ to nonnegative numbers and the domain is [0, ∞).   5.  Graph each formula of the piecewise function over its corresponding domain. Use the same scale for the x-axis and y-axis for each graph. Indicate included endpoints with a solid circle and excluded endpoints with an open circle. Use an arrow to indicate −∞ or ∞. Combine the graphs to find the graph of the piecewise function.    7.  (−∞, ∞)   9.  (−∞, 3]    1 _ 11.  (−∞, ∞)   13.  (−∞, ∞)   15.  ​​  −∞, −​  2 ​   ∪​​ ​​ −​  _21 ​  , ∞ ​​    17.  (−∞, −11)∪(−11, 2)∪(2, ∞)  19.  (−∞, −3)∪(−3, 5)∪(5, ∞)

Section 4.1 1.  Terry starts at an elevation of 3,000 feet and descends 70 feet per second.      3.  d(t) = 100 − 10t     5.  The point of intersection is (a, a). This is because for the horizontal line, all of the y-coordinates are a and for the vertical line, all of the x-coordinates are a. The point of intersection is on both lines and therefore will have these two characteristics.

Chapter 6 Section 6.1 1.  Linear functions have a constant rate of change. Exponential functions increase based on a percent of the original. 3.  When interest is compounded, the percentage of interest earned to principal ends up being greater than the annual percentage rate for the investment account. Thus, the annual percentage rate does not necessarily correspond to the real interest earned, which is the very definition of nominal.   5.  Exponential; the population decreases by a proportional rate.   7.  Not exponential; the charge decreases by a constant amount each visit, so the statement represents a linear function.   9.  Forest B 11.  After 20 years forest A will have 43 more trees than forest B.    13.  Answers will vary. Sample response: For a number of years, the population of forest A will increasingly exceed forest B, but because forest B actually grows at a faster rate, the population will eventually become larger than forest A and will remain that way as long as the population growth models hold. Some factors that might influence the long-term validity of the exponential growth model are drought, an epidemic that culls the population, and other environmental and biological factors.    15.  Exponential growth; the growth factor, 1.06, is greater than 1.   17.  Exponential decay; the decay factor, 0.97, is between 0 and 1.    1 − –3 1 –x 19.  f (x) = 2000(0.1)x    21. f (x) = ​​ ​  __ ​    ​​ 5 ​​ ​  __ ​    ​​ 5 ≈ 2.93(0.699)x   6 6 23.  Linear   25. Neither   27. Linear   29. $10,250    r −nt​​ _ 31.  $13,268.58   33. P = A(t) ⋅ ​​​ 1 + ​  n    ​  ​​   35.  $4,569.10    37.  4%    39. Continuous growth; the growth rate is greater than 0.   41. Continuous decay; the growth rate is less than 0.

Section 6.3

Section 6.2

1.  A logarithm is an exponent. Specifically, it is the exponent to which a base b is raised to produce a given value. In the expressions given, the base b has the same value. The exponent, y, in the expression by can also be written as the logarithm, logbx, and the value of x is the result of raising b to the power of y. 3.  Since the equation of a logarithm is equivalent to an exponential equation, the logarithm can be converted to the exponential equation b y = x, and then properties of exponents can be applied to solve for x.   5.  The natural logarithm is a special case of the logarithm with base b in that the natural log always has base e. Rather than notating the natural logarithm as loge(x), the notation used is ln(x). 7.  ac = b  9.  x y = 64   11. 15b = a  13.  13a = 142 15.  e n = w   17.  logc(k) = d   19.  log19 (y) = x  39 21.  logn(103) = 4    23.  logy ​​ ​  _   ​  ​​  = x    25.  ln(h) = k   100 1 1 27.  x = ​​  _ ​​     29.  x = 27   31.  x = 3   33.  x = ​​  _    ​​     8 216 1 35.  x = e2    37.  32    39.  1.06    41.  14.125    43. ​​  _ ​​      2 45.  4   47. −3   49.  −12   51.  0   53.  10    55.  ≈ 2.708   57. ≈ 0.151   59.  No, the function has no defined value for x = 0. To verify, suppose x = 0 is in the domain of the function f (x) = log(x). Then there is some number n such that n = log(0). Rewriting as an exponential equation gives: 10n = 0, which is impossible since no such real number n exists. Therefore, x = 0 is not the domain of the function f (x) = log(x).    61.  Yes. Suppose there exists a real number, x such that ln(x) = 2. ­Rewriting as an exponential equation gives x = e2,

The horizontal asymptote of an exponential function tells us the limit of the function’s values as the independent variable gets either extremely large or extremely small.   3.  g(x) = 4(3)−x; y-intercept: (0, 4); domain: all real numbers; range: all real numbers greater than 0. 5.  g(x) = −10x + 7; y-intercept: (0, 6); domain: all real numbers; range: all real numbers less than 7.    1 x 7.  g(x) =  2​​ ​  _  ​  ​​ ; y-intercept: (0, 2); domain: all real numbers; 4 range: all real numbers greater than 0.    9.  y-intercept: (0, −2)

1.  Determine first if the equation can be rewritten so that each side uses the same base. If so, the exponents can be set equal to each other. If the equation cannot be rewritten so that each side uses the same base, then apply the logarithm to each side and use properties of logarithms to solve.   3.  The one-to-one property can be used if both sides of the equation can be rewritten as a single logarithm with the same base. If so, the arguments can be set equal to each other, and the resulting equation can be solved algebraically.

the same; conjecture: for any positive base b ≠ 1, logb(x) = −log​​  _b1  ​ (x). ​

59.  Recall that the argument of a logarithmic function must be x+2 positive, so we determine where ​​  _   ​​  > 0.

1.  Logistic models are best used for situations that have limited values. For example, populations cannot grow indefinitely since resources such as food, water, and space are limited, so a logistic model best describes populations.    3.  Regression analysis is the process of finding an equation that best fits a given set of data points. To perform a regression analysis on a graphing utility, first list the given points using the STAT then EDIT menu. Next graph the scatter plot using the STAT PLOT feature. The shape of the data points on the scatter graph can help determine which regression feature to use. Once this is determined, select the appropriate regression analysis command from the STAT then CALC menu.     5.  The y-intercept on the graph of a logistic equation corresponds to the initial population for the population model.     7.  C   9.  B   11. P (0) = 22; 175    13.  p ≈ 2.67   15. y-intercept: (0, 15)   17. 4 koi 19.  About 6.8 months. 23.  About 38 wolves 21.  y 25.  About 8.7 years 600 550 27.  f (x) =  776.682 (1.426)x 500 y 29.  450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50

Section 9.2 1.  The cofunction identities apply to complementary angles. Viewing the two acute angles of a right triangle, if one of those π angles measures x, the second angle measures ​ __ ​  − x. Then 2 π ​   ​  − x  ​. The same holds for the other cofunction sin x = cos​ __ 2 identities. The key is that the angles are ­complementary. 3.  sin(−x) = −sin x, so sin x is odd. cos(−x) = cos(0 − x )  = cos x, so cos x is even.

Section 9.5 1.  There will not always be solutions to trigonometric function equations. For a basic example, cos(x) = −5.   3.  If the sine or cosine function has a coefficient of one, isolate the term on one side of the equals sign. If the number it is set equal to has an absolute value less than or equal to one, the equation has solutions, otherwise it does not. If the sine or cosine does not have a coefficient equal to one, still isolate the term but then divide both sides of the equation by the leading coefficient. Then, if the number it is set equal to has an absolute value greater than one, the equation has no solution. π 2π 7π π 5π π 3π 5π _ 3π 5π 5.  ​  _ ​,   ​  _ ​     7.  ​  _ ​,   ​  _ ​     11. ​  _ ​,   ​  _ ​,   ____ ​   ​,   ​   ​    ​  _ ​,   ​  _ ​     9.  4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 3 3 π 7π 7π 11π π 5π 13π 17π 25π 29π 13.  ​  _ ​,   ​  _ ​      15.  ​  _ ​,   ​  _  ​      17.  ​  _   ​, ​  _ ​,   ​  _ ​,   ​  _ ​,   ​  _ ​,   ​  _ ​   4 4 18 18 18 18 18 18 6 6 3π 5π 11π 13π 19π 21π 1 5 ___ 13 17 ___ 25 29 ___ 37 __ 19.  ​ ___ ​ , ​ ___ ​ , ​ ____ ​,  ​ ____ ​,  ​ ____ ​,  ​ ____ ​    21.  ​   ​ , __ ​   ​ , ​   ​,  ___ ​   ​,  ​   ​,  ___ ​   ​,  ​   ​  12 12 12 12 12 12 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 π 5π π 5π π 3π 5π 23.  0, ​ __ ​ , π, ​ ___ ​    25. ​ __ ​ , π, ​ ___ ​    27. ​ __ ​ , ​ ___ ​,  ​ ___ ​    29. 0, π 3 3 3 3 3 2 3 11π 7π ____ 1 ___ 1 __ −1 −1 31.  π − sin ​  −​   ​    ​, ​   ​,  ​   ​,   2π + sin ​  −​  __ ​    ​ 4 4 6 6 9 9 9 π 2π 1 1 1 33.  ​  _ ​​   sin−1 ​ ​  _   ​  ​  ​, ​  _ ​    − ​  _ ​​   sin−1 ​ ​  _   ​  ​  ​, ​  _ ​    + ​  _ ​​   sin−1 ​ ​  _   ​  ​  ​, 3 10 3 3 10 3 3 10 9 9 9 4π 1 5π 1 1 π − ​  _ ​​   sin−1 ​  ​  _   ​   ​   ​, ​  _ ​   + ​  _ ​​   sin−1 ​  ​  _   ​   ​   ​, ​  _ ​   − ​  _ ​​   sin−1 ​  ​  _   ​   ​   ​, 3 3 3 10 3 10 3 10 2 2 2 35.  0    37. θ = sin−1​​ ​  _ ​   ,​​ π − sin−1​​ ​  _ ​   ,​​ π + sin−1​​ ​  _ ​   ,​​ 3 3 3 π 4π 3π π 5π 2 2π − sin−1​​ ​  _ ​   ​​   39. ​ ___ ​,  ​ __ ​ , ​ ___ ​    41. 0, ​ __ ​ , π, ​ ___ ​     3 2 6 6 3 3 43.  There are no solutions.    — — 1 1 45.  cos−1​ ​  __ ​​  1 − ​√ 7 ​  ​  ​, 2π − cos−1​ ​  __ ​​  1 − ​√ 7 ​  ​  ​ 3 3 — — 1 1 47.  tan−1​ ​  _ ​​  √ ​ 29 ​  − 5 ​   ​, π + tan−1​ ​  _ ​​  −√ ​ 29 ​  − 5 ​   ​, 2 2 — — 1 1 π + tan−1​  ​  _ ​​  √ ​ 29 ​  − 5 ​   ​, 2π + tan−1​  ​  _ ​​  −√ ​ 29 ​  − 5 ​   ​ 2 2 49.  There are no solutions.   51. There are no solutions. 2π 4π π 3π 5π 7π 53.  0, ​  _ ​,   ​  _ ​     55. ​  _ ​,   ​  _ ​,   ​  _ ​,   ​  _ ​    4 4 4 4 3 3 3 π 3 3π 57.  sin−1 ​ ​  _ ​    ​, ​  _ ​,   π − sin−1 ​ ​  _ ​    ​, ​  _ ​    5 2 5 2 1 1 59.  cos−1​  −​  _ ​   ​, 2π − cos−1​  −​  _ ​   ​ 4 4 π 3 3 5π 61.  ​  _ ​,   cos−1​  −​  _ ​   ​, 2π − cos−1​  −​  _ ​   ​, ​  _ ​    4 4 3 3 3 3 2 2 63.  cos−1​ ​  _ ​    ​, cos−1​ −​  _ ​   ​, 2π − cos−1​ −​  _ ​   ​, 2π − cos−1​ ​  _ ​    ​ 4 4 3 3

1.  For polar coordinates, the point in the plane depends on the angle from the positive x-axis and distance from the origin, while in Cartesian coordinates, the point represents the ­horizontal and vertical distances from the origin. For each point in the coordinate plane, there is one representation, but for each point in the polar plane, there are infinite representations. 3.  Determine θ for the point, then move r units from the pole to plot the point. If r is negative, move r units from the pole in the opposite direction but along the same angle. The point is a distance of r away from the origin at an angle of θ from the π polar axis.    5.  The point ​  −3, __ ​   ​    ​ has a positive angle but a 2 π ​   ​  and negative radius and is plotted by moving to an angle of __ 2 then moving 3 units in the negative direction.

The point ​  3, −​  _ ​    ​ has a 2 negative angle and a positive radius and is plotted by first moving π to an angle of −​ __ ​  and then moving 3 units down, which is the 2 positive direction for a negative angle.

1.  A nonlinear system could be representative of two circles that overlap and intersect in two locations, hence two solutions. A nonlinear system could be representative of a parabola and a circle, where the vertex of the parabola meets the circle and the branches No. There also intersect the circle, hence three solutions.    3.  does not need to be a feasible region. Consider a system that is bounded by two parallel lines. One inequality represents the region above the upper line; the other ­represents the region below the lower line. In this case, no points in the plane are located in both Choose any regions; hence there is no feasible region.   5.  number between each solution and plug into C(x) and R(x).

1.  Yes. For each row, the coefficients of the variables are written across the corresponding row, and a vertical bar is placed; then the constants are placed to the right of the vertical bar. 3.  No, there are numerous correct methods of using row ­operations on a matrix. Two possible ways are the following: (1) Interchange rows 1 and 2.  Then R 2 = R 2 − 9R 1. (2) R 2 = R 1 −9R 2. Then divide row 1 by 9. 5.  No. A matrix with 0 entries for an entire row would have either zero or infinitely many solutions.

You can also check by proving this for a 2 × 2 matrix.   3.  No, because ad and bc are both 0, so ad − bc = 0, which requires us to divide by 0 in the 0  1 ​  ​. The inverse is formula.   5.  Yes.

1.  A sequence is an ordered list of numbers that can be either ­finite or infinite in number. When a finite sequence is defined by a formula, its domain is a subset of the non-negative integers. When an infinite sequence is defined by a formula, its domain is all positive or all non-negative integers.   3.  Yes, both sets go on indefinitely, so they are both infinite sequences. 5.  A factorial is the product of a positive integer and all the positive integers below it. An exclamation point is used to indicate the operation. Answers may vary. An example of the benefit of using factorial notation is when indicating the product It is much easier to write than it is to write out 13 ∙ 12 ∙ 11 ∙ 10 ∙ 9 ∙ 8 ∙ 7 ∙ 6 ∙ 5 ∙ 4 ∙ 3 ∙ 2 ∙ 1. 16 16 7.  First four terms: −8, −​  _ ​,   − 4, −​  _ ​      9.  First four terms: 5 3 1 8 1 2, ​  _ ​  , ​  _   ​, ​  _ ​    11. First four terms: 1.25, −5, 20, −80 2 27 4 1 4 9 16 13.  First four terms: ​ _ ​  , ​  _ ​  , ​  _ ​  , ​  _ ​     15. First four terms: 3 5 7 9 4 1 4 9 16 25 −​  _ ​  , 4, −20, 100   17. ​  _ ​  , ​  _ ​  , ​  _ ​  , ​  _ ​,   ​  _ ​  , 31, 44, 59 5 3 5 7 9 11 19.  −0.6, −3, −15, −20, −375, −80, −9375, −320 2n 2n − 1 1 n−1 _ 21.  an = n 2 + 3   23. an = ​  _   ​ or ​  _ n    ​   25. an = ​​ −​  2 ​   ​​ ​ 2n 27.  First five terms: 3, −9, 27, −81, 243   29. First five terms: 531,441 27 891 1 1 3 9 81 2187 _ −1, 1, −9, ​  _  ​ , ​  _  ​     31. ​  _   ​, 1, ​  _ ​  , ​  _ ​  , ​  _ ​  , ​  _ ​,   ​  _  ​,    ​   ​     4 2 4 4 11 5 24 8 16 14 4 33.  2, 10, 12, ​ _ ​,   ​  _ ​  , 2, 10, 12   35. a 1 = −8, an = an − 1 + n 5 5 37.  a 1 = 35, an = an − 1 + 3   39. 720   41. 665,280
