Use Absoiute Vaiue Functions


and Transformations
You graphed and w rote linear functions.
You wiit graph and write absoiute vaiue functions.
So you can mode! structures, as in Ex. 39.

Key Vocabuiary
* absoiute value
function
* v ertex of an absolute
value graph
* tran sfo rm atio n
* tran slation
* reflection

In Lesson 1.7, you learn ed th at th e absolu te value o f a real n u m ber x


is defined as follows.
x, if x is positive
0, i f x = 0
- x , if x is negative
You ca n also d efine an absolute valu e fu n ctio n /(x ) = j x j .

KEY CONCEPT

I T he parent fu n ctio n for th e fam ily o f all absolu te value fu n ctio n s is /(x ) = l%l
T h e graph o f/ ( % ) = ]x] is V-shaped and is sy m m etric abou t th e y -axis. So, for
-I

every point (x, y) on th e graph, th e p o in t ( - x , y) is also on th e graph.

To the left of x = 0,
the graph is given by
t h e lin e y = - x .

To the right of x = 0,
the graph is given by
the)iney = x.

T he hig h est or low est p o in t on th e graph o f a n absolu te value fu n c tio n is


called th e v ertex. T he vertex o f th e graph o f/(x ) = jx j is (0, 0).

a.

The variables are clearly


defined.

L et x rep resent years sin ce 1995 an d let y rep resen t m illio n s o f ton s o f
VOCs em itted. T h en th e ordered pairs are (0, 22.0), (1, 20.9), (2 ,1 9 .5 ),
(3 ,1 8 .8 ), (4 ,1 8 .3 ), (5,17.5), (6,17.1), (7 ,1 6 .5 ), and (8,16.1).
A scatter plot and a lin e draw n to fit
th e d ata a re show n. T h e p o in ts (2, 20)
and (6,17.1) ap p ear to lie on th e line.

The scatter plot and a


line fitting the points are
correctly drawn.

Use th e p oints (x^ y ^ = (2, 20) and


(x^, y^) = (6,17.1) to find th e slope m.
17.1 - 20
6 -2

The calculations are


correct and clearly
explained.

-2.9
= - 0 .7 2 5
4

Now u se point-slope form .


y

= m(x-x^

y - 20 = - 0 .7 2 5 ( x - 2)
y - 20 = -0 .7 2 5 X + 1.45
- 0 .7 2 5 x + 21.5
A n approxim ation o f th e b est-fittin g lin e is y = 0.725x -t- 21.5.

The equation of the line


of fit is correct.

b. To p red ict th e am o u n t o f em ission s in 2010, u se th e fa ct th a t 2010 is


15 years after 1995. S u b stitu te x = 15 into th e m odel.
y = -0 .7 2 5 X + 21.5 = -0 .7 2 5 (1 5 ) + 21.5 = 10.6
You can predict th at 10.6 m illio n tons o f VOCs w ill b e em itted in 2010.

The prediction is correct.


]

The answer is
reasonable.

Chapter 2

c. No; th e trend could co n tin u e for a w hile b u t n o t in d efinitely, b eca u se


th e eq u atio n pred icts zero em issio n s w hen - 0 .7 2 5 x + 21.5 = 0, or w hen
x = 30. It is u n rea listic to p red ict th a t em ission s w ill b e redu ced to zero.

Linear Equations and Functions

SAMPLE 2 : P artia! credit soiution


a. T h e y -in tercep t is 21.5 and the

an approxim ation o f th e bestfittin g lin e is y = -0 .7 5 % + 21.5.

A reasonable line of fit is


found and answers are
correct, but the graph
is not labeled, little
work is shown, and
the explanation is
incomplete.

b. y = -0 .7 5 (1 5 ) + 21.5 = 10.25
c. No; it would be negative.

CLASSIFYING SYSTEMS A system th at has at least one solu tion is con sisten t.
If a system has no solution, th e system is incon sisten t. A co n sisten t system
th at has exactly one solution is independent, and a co n sisten t system th at has
in fin itely m any solu tion s is dependent. T h e system in Exam ple 1 is co n sisten t
and independent.

CHECK SOLUTION

To check your solution


in Example 2, observe
that both equations
have the same slopeintercept form:
So the graphs are the
same line.

To verify that the


graphs in Example 3
are parallel lines,
write the equations in
slope-intercept form
and observe that the
lines have the same
slope, -2 , but different
y-intercepts, 4 and 1.

CHAPTER SUMMARY
B/G /DE^S
So!ving Systems of Equations Using a Variety of Methods
When to use

Method

The equations have oniy two variables and


are given in a form that is easy to graph.

Graphing: Graph each equation in the

system. A point where the graphs intersect


is a soiution.

One of the variabies in the system has a


coefficient of 1 or -1.

Substitution: Soive one equation for one

of the variabies and substitute into the


other equation(s).
Eiimination: Muitipiy equations by
constants, then add the revised equations
to eiiminate a variabie.

None of the variabies in the system have a


coefficient of 1 or -1.

Cramer's ruie: Use determinants to find

The determinant of the coefficient matrix is


not zero.

the soiution.

The determinant of the coefficient matrix is


not zero.

inverse m atrices: Write the system as a

matrix equation AX = B. Muitipiy each side


by A"i on the ieft to obtain the soiution
X - A^B.

3 Soive x^ + bx + c = 0
by Factoring
You graphed quadratic functions.
You wiii soive quadratic equations.
So you can doubie th e area o f a picnic site, as in Ex. 4 2 .

Key Vocabulary

ro ot of an equation

A m o n om ial is an expression th at is eith er a num ber, a v ariable, or th e prod uct o f


a n u m ber and one or m ore variables. A b in om ial, su ch as x + 4, is th e sum o f two
m on om ials. A trin o m ial, su ch as x^ + l l x + 28, is th e sum o f th ree m on om ials.
You know how to u se FOIL to w rite (x + 4)(x + 7) as x^ + l l x + 28. You ca n use
factorin g to w rite a trin o m ia l as a product o f b in o m ials. To factor x^ + hx + c, find
integers m and n such that:

zero of a function

x^ + &x + c = (x + m) (x + n)
= x^ + (m + n )x +
So, th e sum o f m and n m u st eq u al h and th e product o f m and n m u st eq u al c.

AVOID ERRORS

When factoring
x^ + bx + c where c > 0,
you must choose factors
x + m and x + n such
that m and n have the
same sign.

You w ant x^ - 9x + 20 = (x + m )(x + n) w here mn = 20 an d tn + n = - 9 .

S oiution
ANOTHER WAY

in Example 5, you can


also approximate the
zeros of/using the
calculator's (race feature.
However, this generally
gives less precise results
than the zero (or roof)
feature.

U s e t h e z e r o (o r root) f e a t u r e o f a g r a p h in g c a lc u la t o r , a s s h o w n b e lo w .

^ From these screens, you can see that the zeros are x = -0 .7 3 and x = 2.73.

You can also find the


value of x for which
y = 4400 by subtracting
4400 from the right
side of the cubic model,
graphing the resulting
function, and using the
zero feature to find the
graph's x-intercept.

Below a re sam ple solutions to th e problem . Read ea ch solution an d the


co m m en ts in blue to see why th e sam ple re p re se n ts full cred it, p a rtia l
cred it, o r no cred it.

SAMPLE 1: Full credit solution


Let th e iength o f th e prism b e x.
T he w idth is 2 m eters less th a n th e ien gth , so w idth = x - 2.
T he height is 1 m eter less th a n th e w idth, so h eigh t = (x - 2) - 1 = x - 3.
The voium e o f a re cta n g u ia r prism is th e product o f its length, w idth, and
height.

The equation is correct


and all steps are cieariy
shown.

The solution of the


equation is correct.

30 = x (x - 2)(x - 3)

Write equation.

30 = x(x3 - 5x + 6)

Muitipiy binomiais.

0 = x^ - 5x3 + g^ _ go

Write in standard form.

0 = x3(x - 5) + 6 (x - 5)

Factor by grouping.

0 = (x3 + 6)(x - 5)

Distributive property

T he only real solu tion is x = 5. T h e factor x3 + 6 does n o t prod uce any real
solutions.
Use su b stitu tio n to find th e d im en sio n s:

ien gth = x = 5 m eters


w idth = x - 2 = 5 - 2 = 3 m eters
height = x - 3 = 5 - 3 = 2 m eters

The prism is 5 m eters long, 3 m eters wide, an d 2 m eters high.

The dimensions are


correct.

SAMPLE 2 : Partia! credit soiution


Let ien gth = x, w idth = x - 2, and h eight = x - 3.
30 = x (x - 2) (x - 3)

The equation is correct.

SNOWMOBtLES A new snow m obile co sts $ 4200. T he

E stim ate th e value after 3 years.
* Graph th e m odel.
* Use th e graph to estim a te w hen th e value o f th e

S olution
T h e in itia l am o u n t is a = 4 2 0 0 an d th e p ercen t d ecrea se is r = 0.10.
So, th e ex p o n en tiai d ecay m odel is:
y = n ( l - r)?
AVO!D ERRORS
Notice that the percent
decrease. 10%. teiis
you how much value
the snowmobile loses
each year. The decay
factor, 0.90, tells you
what fraction of the
snowmobile's value
remains each year.

Write exponentiai decay modei.

= 4 2 0 0 (1 - 0.10)?

Substitute 4 2 0 0 for a and 0.10 for r.

= 4200(0.90)?

Simpiify.

W hen f = 3, th e snow m obile's value is y = 4 2 0 0 (0.90)^ = $3061.80.


The graph passes through the
points (0, 4200) and (1, 3780).
It has the f-axis as an

Solving an Exponential Equation

Solving a Logarithmic Equation

If each side can be written using the


same base, equate exponents.
gX + 1 = gX

If the equation has the form


log^ x = iog^ y, use the fact that x = y.
log2 (4x - 2) = log2 3x
4x - 2 = 3x

= M*

x= 2

x + 1 = 2x

If each side cannot be written using the


same base, take a logarithm of each side.

If a logarithm Is set equal to a constant,


exponentiate each side.

How can you use a graphing caicu iator to grap h rationai


functions?
M ost graphing calcu lato rs have two graph ing m od es: connected m od e an d dot
m ode. Connected m ode displays th e graph o f a ratio n al fu n ctio n as a sm ooth
curve, w hile dot m ode displays th e graph as a series o f dots.

Graph a rationai function


Graph y =

The n um erator h as no zeros, so th ere is no x -in tercep t.
The d en o m in ato r h as no real zeros, so th ere is no
v ertical asym ptote.
The d egree o f th e num erator, 0, is less th a n th e degree
o f th e d enom inator, 2. So, th e lin e y = 0 (th e x-axis) is a

The graph passes th rou gh th e p o in ts ( - 3 , 0.6), ( - 1 , 3),

represent th e co o rd in ates o f vertex C. Use th e d ista n ce form ula.
For TIC: \/(x - O f + (y - o f = 6

For BC: V ( x - 6 f + ( y - O f = 6

F + y2 =

36

( x - 6 f + / = 36
x^ -

12x + 36 + y^ = 36
x^ + y^ - 12x = 0

Solve th e system by adding - 1 tim es th e seco n d eq u atio n to th e first.


The correct equations
are obtained, and a vaiid
method is used to solve
the system.

12x = 36

x = 3

Su bstitu te 3 for x in th e first eq u atio n : 3^ + y^ = 36, so y^ = 27, or y = 3 V 3 .


The solu tions o f th e system are (3, 3 V 3 ). So, th e th ird vertex is at c (3 , 3 V 3 )
The system is solved

The perpendicular bisector of R 5 has a slope of


2,the negative reciprocal
of 0.5. Its equation is y 0 .5 = 2(x 1), or y = 2x 1.5. Substituting
2 for x gives y = 2.5. Since y = 2x 1.5 is a function, this is the only
value of y for x = 2.

The diagram shows equivalent degree


and radian measures for special angles
from 0 to 3 6 0 (0 radians to 2ir radians).
You may find it helpful to memorize the
equivalent degree and radian measures of
special angles in the first quadrant and for

Strategy

W hen to Use

How to Use

Make a list or table

Make a list or table when a problem


requires you to record, generate, or
organize information.

Make a table with columns, rows, and any


given information. Generate a systematic list
that can help you solve the problem.

W ork backward

Work backward when a problem


gives you an end result and you
need to find beginning conditions.

Work backward from the given information


until you solve the problem. Work forward
through the problem to check your answer.

Guess, check, and revise

Guess, check, and revise when you


need a place to start or you want to
see how the problem works.

Make a reasonable guess. Check to see if


your guess solves the problem, if it does not,
revise your guess and check again.

Soive a simpier probiem

Solve a simpler problem when a


problem can be made easier by
using simpler numbers.

Think of a way to make the problem simpler.


Solve the simpler problem, then use what
you learned to solve the original problem.
