What to do with a fraction with SURDS in?
rationalise the denominator!
1 of 11
What is RATE OF CHANGE?
basically just the gradient!
2 of 11
How do I know if a function is INCREASING or DECREASING?
positive gradient = INCREASING negative gradient = DECREASING
3 of 11
How do I know if it is a MAXIMUM or MINIMUM point?
Differentiate again to find d^2y/dx^2 (the second derivative).--> if SMALLER than 0 it is a MAXIMUM POINT --> if BIGGER than 0 it is a MINIMUM POINT
4 of 11
How do I multiply fractions?
a/b x c/d = ac/bd
5 of 11
What is a RATIONAL number?
a number that can be written as a FRACTION e.g. 1.5 can be written as 3/2
6 of 11
What is a vertex?
the minimum/maximum point of a graph :)
7 of 11
How to find the line of symmetry of a curve?
It crosses the vertex (minimum/maximum point)
8 of 11
Types of Geometrical Transformations?
3 types: Translations (write as vectors!), Stretches, Reflections. Horizontal movements are inside brackets. Vertical movements are outside of brackets :)
9 of 11
Remainder Theorem
sub in the number to the polynomial :) e.g. f(2)=(2x8)-(3x4)-(3x2)+7=5 --> remainder = 5 :D
10 of 11
Factor Theorem
sub in the number to the polynomial and get 0 :)
