  1. MAC 1140 Final Exam Review

  2. Information about the final exam • The final exam is comprehensive. • Students who do not take the final exam will receive a zero for the final exam unless prior arrangements have been made for a rare incomplete. • If you miss the final and do not email me by the day of the exam, I will assume you wish to take a zero on your final exam.

  3. Exam Topics (1 – 10)

  4. Exam Topics (11 – 20)

  5. 1) Find a polynomial with given zeros and y – intercept. Multiplicity Let m be a positive integer. If is a factor of a polynomial f and is not a factor of f, then r is called a zero of f of multiplicity m.

  6. Page 195: 105 Zeros (multiplicity 2); 2 (multiplicity 1); 4 (multiplicity 1); degree 4; contains the point (3, 128)

  7. 2) Find the complex zeros (all zeros) of a polynomial function. Finding the Zeros of a Polynomial Function • Use the degree to determine the maximum number of zeros. • Use the Rational Zeros Theorem to identify possible rational zeros. • Graph the function to find the best choice of possible rational zeros. Note how many real zeros are possible. • Use the graphing calculator and find the value of the function at a possible rational zero. If the value is zero, you have found an actual rational zero. • Find the new depressed function using synthetic division. Find another rational zero and continue this process until you have found all rational zeros or the depressed equation is a quadratic equation that can be solved.

  8. Page 245: 29 Graphing yields a zero at Based on the fact that there are no other real zeros (and the degree is four), it looks like could be a double root. Synthetic division by yields Dividing by yields Solve

  9. 3) Find the vertical, horizontal, and oblique asymptotes of a rational function. Determining Vertical Asymptotes of 1) Simplify the function completely. 2) Set the denominator equal to zero and solve the resulting equation. The line x = a is a vertical asymptote of the function if a is a solution to that equation.

  10. Determining Horizontal Asymptotes of • If the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, the x-axis (y = 0) is the horizontal asymptote. • If the degree of the numerator is equal to the degree of the denominator, the line formed by the ratio of the leading coefficients is the horizontal asymptote. • If the degree of the numerator is greater than the degree of the denominator, there is no horizontal asymptote (but if the degree is exactly one more, there is an oblique asymptote). • Find an oblique asymptote by dividing the denominator into the numerator. The result should be linear.

  12. 4) Solve a polynomial inequality. Steps for Solving Polynomial and Rational Inequalities Algebraically Step 1: Write the inequality so that a polynomial or rational expression f is on the left side and zero is on the right side in one of the following forms: For rational expressions, be sure that the left side is written as a single quotient. Step 2: Determine the numbers at which the expression on the left side equals zero and, if the expression is rational, the numbers at which the expression on the left side is undefined. Step 3: Use the numbers found in Step 2 to separate the real number line into intervals. Step 4: Select a test number c in each interval and evaluate f at the test number. (a) If the value of is positive, then for all numbers in the interval. (b) If the value of is negative, then for all numbers in the interval. If the inequality is not strict , include the solutions of in the solution set. Be careful, however. Test numbers at which is not defined are not solutions to and should not be included in the solution set.

Test numbers at which is not defined are not solutions to and should not be included in the solution set.

  16. 6) Find compositions of functions (and domains). Composition of Functions If are functions, then the composition of • Check the domain of both the inner function and the composition.

  17. p. 348: 7 Domain:

  18. 7) Find the inverse of a function (and domains and ranges). Finding Inverses 1) Replace with 2) Interchange and 3) Solve for 4) Replace y with • The domain of is the range of • The domain of is the range of

  19. p. 348: 11

  20. 8) Solve a logarithmic equation. 1) Isolate all logarithmic expressions on one side of the equation and use logarithmic properties to rewrite the logarithmic expressions as a single logarithmic expression whose coefficient is 1. 2) Rewrite the logarithmic expression as an exponential expression. 3) Solve. 4) Verify the solution. Reject values that produce the logarithm of a negative number or the logarithm of zero. Remember: the solution can be negative. It just can’t cause the logarithm of a negative number (or zero).

  21. p. 349: 43

  22. 9) Solve an exponential equation. 1) Isolate the exponential expression (if possible). 2) Take the common or natural logarithm of both sides. 3) Use the power rule: 4) Solve for the variable.

  26. 11) Find the vertex, focus, and directrix, and orientation of opening of a parabola. • The parabola opens toward the focus and away from the directrix. • The focus and directrix are units from the vertex. • A parabola opens right or left. • An parabola opens up or down.

  27. p. 698: 9

  28. 12) Write the equation of a hyperbola given the foci and the vertices.

  29. p. 699: 12 Hyperbola: center ; focus ; vertex

  30. 13) Solve a determinant equation. For a 3 X 3,remember to expand along one row or column. If you expand along row 1, the middle term will be multiplied by

  31. p. 741: 54

  32. 14) Solve a curve fitting application. Use your calculator to solve this problem. 1) Matrix Edit – enter the dimensions and then the entries of the augmented matrix of the system. 2) Matrix Math rref (option B on some calculators) 3) Matrix Names (choose A)

  33. p. 795: 55 Find the quadratic function that passes through the points

  34. This can actually be worked as a system of two equations in two unknowns since c is known. Since the one on the test cannot be worked this way, let’s write an augmented matrix for a system of three equations. Place the matrix in the calculator and use the rref function. You will also have to convert the decimals to fractions using the FRAC option in MATH.

  35. 15) Solve a system of nonlinear equations by any method. Using substitution or elimination to solve this problem is probably the best idea.

  38. p. 838: 14

  39. 17) Find a general formula for a given arithmetic sequence. Two methods: 1) Set up a system of two equations in two unknowns. OR 2) Find the slope. The slope is the common difference. For both methods, you need the formula

  40. p. 838: 21 10th term is 0, 18th term is 8

  42. 18) Work with applications of arithmetic sequences.
