COURSE ASSESSMENT
The Cartesian plane is formed by using two real number lines intersecting at right angles. The horizontal line is usually called x-axis,and the vertical line is usually called the y-axis. The point of intersection of these two axes is the origin, and the two axes divide the plane into four parts called quadrants.
The Cartesian plane
Each point in the plane corresponds to an ordered pair (x, y) of realnumbers x and y, called coordinates of the point. The x-coordinate represents the directed distance from the y-axis to the point, and the y-coordinate represents the directed distance from the x-axis to the point.
Distance between two pointsConsider the two points in the Cartesian plane (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).The distance between the two points is given by the formula

SKETCHING RELATIONS IN THE CARTESIAN PLANE Given a relation between two variables
x and y in the plane xy, we can make a sketch to that relation by these easy steps,

EXAMPLE A Sketch the relation y = 2x + 1Solution Here it is easier to take x as
independent variable and calculate the corresponding values of y
GUC - Wniter 2009 15
EXAMPLE 2 Sketch the relation y = 2x + 1Solution Here it is easier to take x as
independent variable and calculate the corresponding values of y
Choose x = -2, 0, 2

EXAMPLE 2 Sketch the relation y = 2x + 1Solution Here it is easier to take x as
independent variable and calculate the corresponding values of y
Choose x = -2, 0, 2 The corresponding values of y are: -3,
1, 5 respectively.

THE X-INTERCEPT AND THE Y-INTERCEPT These simply give the intersections of the
curve of the relation with the x-axis and the y-axis

THE X-INTERCEPT AND THE Y-INTERCEPT These simply give the intersections of the
curve of the relation with the x-axis and the y-axis
The x-intercept is given by setting y = 0 and getting the value of x

A function is an operation performed on an input (x) to produce an output (y = f(x) ).In other words : A function is a machine that takes a value x in the domain and gives you a value y=f(x) in the range
The Domain of f is the set of all allowable inputs (x values)The Range of f is the set of all outputs (y values)

TYPES OF FUNCTIONS Polynomial Functions (Polynomials)
A function f(x) is called a polynomial if it is of the form:
Where n is a non-negative integer and the numbers a0,a1,…,an are constants called coefficients of the polynomial.

n is called the degree of the polynomial is called the leading coefficient is called the absolute coefficient

POLYNOMIALS Notes 1- A linear function f(x) = mx + c is a
polynomial of degree 1 2- A constant function f(x) = c, where c
is constant is a polynomial of degree 0
RATIONAL FUNCTION DEFINITION
DOMAIN OF FUNCTION The domain of a function y = f(x) is the
set of values that the variable x can take.
DOMAIN OF A POLYNOMIAL From the definition of a polynomial, it is
easy to realize that the domain of a polynomial is the set of all Real numbers R
