Please plan to attend the review section - more complete information
will be given there.
Exam I covers sections 1.1 - 1.6, 2.1 - 2.3.
The following topics and ideas may appear on the exam.
Properties of |a|; on number line distance(a,b) = |a-b|
Intervals ( a, b), etc
Solution of inequalities
Distances in the plane, circle equations
Functions - domain, range, types of monotone functions,
odd and even functions, symmetries, 1-1 functions
Don't worry about scaliong and shift
Slope of lines, equations of lines
Quadratic formula - disregard completion of square, max, min for now
Types of functions: polynomial, rational, algebraic
trigonometric, logarithmix, exponential
Constructing functions - sum, difference, product, quotient,
scalar multiple, composition
Definitions (triangle and circle) of sin, cos, tan (skip the other 3 for now
Periods and graphs of these
trig identities (p 29)
Law of Cosines
finding inverse function of 1-1 f(x)
restricted domain for sin, cos, tan
computing inverse of sin, cos, tan using triangles
Exponential fcn y = b^x, laws of exponents
Log to the base b , laws of logs
Solving exponential equations
Defns of hyperbolic fcns ( sinh, cosh, tanh)
Motion on a line, average velocity for t in an interval
Esitimating limits with a table
Existence of limits
Laws of limits
