Equations and Inequalities with Absolute Value

Def. (1) A relation is a set of ordered pairs. (2) A relation is a rule of
correspondence between two sets.
EX1. { (Weevil, UAM), (Bulldog, Star City), (Bulldog, LA Tech)}

EX2. To each UAM student record his/her GPA.

Def. (1) A function is a relation in which no two ordered pairs having the
same first elements have different second elements. (2) A function
is a relation in which to each element in the first set (the domain) there
corresponds exactly one element in the second set (the range).

Question: Is the relation in EX1 a function? Why or why not?

Question: Is the relation in EX2 a function? Why or why not?

Activity: Give a specific example of a relation that is not a function.

Activity: Give a specific example of a relation that is a function.

Activity: Give a specific example of a function that is not a relation.

Sometimes a function is represented using functional notation. The symbol
f(x) is read “f of x” and indicates that the function f is written in terms of the
variable x. [Note: f(x) does not mean f times x.] f(x) represents the real
number in the range of the function f corresponding to the domain value x.

EX3: If f(x) = 2x2 - x + 3 find
f(2)
f(-3)
f(t)

EX12: Solve and graph | 3 - 2x |≤ 5.

EX13: What set of numbers is described by | x - 1 | > 4?

EX14: Solve and graph | x - 3 | ≤ 2

EX15: Solve and graph | x + 4 | > -3

The geometric meaning of absolute value inequalities of the form
| x - a | > b is

The algebraic solution of absolute value inequalities of the form
| x - a | > b is

EX16: Solve and graph | 2x - 5 | ≥ 8

EX17: Graph y = | x |

EX18: Graph y = | x - 2 | + 3

EX19: Solve | x - 3 | = | 2x + 5 | and check your answer(s).

EX20: A car CD player has an operating temperature of | t - 40° | ≤ 80°
where t is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. Solve for t and
give the range of operating temperatures for the CD player.

Chapter 5, Sect. 1: Polynomials and Polynomial Functions

Def. Algebraic terms - expressions that contain constants and/or variables
Examples:

Def. Polynomial – the sum of one or more algebraic terms whose variables
have whole number exponents
Examples:

Def. Monomial –
Examples:

Def. Binomial –
Examples:

Def. Trinomial –
Examples

Def. If a ≠ 0, the degree of a^n is n. The degree of a monomial containing
several variables is the sum of the exponents of those variables. The
degree of a polynomial is equal to the degree of its highest degree
term.

Examples:

Note 1: The degree of a nonzero constant is 0.
Explanation:

Note 2: The degree of 0 is indeterminate.

EX2: If P(x) = 3x2 - 2x + 1, find P(-4), P(½), and P(n).

EX3: The height, h, in feet, of a ball shot straight up with an initial velocity
of 64 feet per second is given by the polynomial function
h(t) = -16t2 + 64t
Find the height of the ball in (A)3 seconds and (B)in 1.78 seconds.

EX4: The number of feet that a car travels before stopping depends on the
driver’s reaction time and braking distance. For a certain driver, the
stopping distance is given by d(v) = 0.04v2 + 0.93v where v is
the speed of the car in mph. Find the stopping distance if the speed of
the car is (A) 35 mph, (B) 55 mph, and (C) 70.86 mph.
