Finite Mathematics & Calculus Applied to the Real World

1. The graph of any equation in two variables is a straight line.
2. The graph of any linear equation in two variables is a straight line.
3. Every line has a slope.
4. Every non vertical line has a slope.
5. Every line is the graph of a linear equation in two unknowns.
6. To find the equation of a line, all you need is a point and the slope.
7. You need to know the y-intercept to write the equation of a line.
8. The graph of a quadratic function f(x) = ax2+bx+c (a 0) is always a parabola.
9. The vertex is the lowest point on a parabola.
10. Some parabolas cross neither axis.
11. In a linear cost equation, the slope gives the cost of the first item.
12. If displacement is a linear function of time, then the slope of the graph represents the velocity.
13. If the weekly sales q of an item priced at $p are given by q = 3p + 40, then the weekly sales decrease by 3 items for every $1 increase in price.
14. If the total weekly revenue for items priced at $p is given by the function R(p) = p2 + 100p, then the total weekly revenue will be $100 if we give the items away.
15. A real-valued function of a real variable is a rule that assigns exactly one number to each specified input number in a specified domain.
16. Some functions assign two or more numbers to each specified input number.
17. If f(x) = x3 + 3x, then f(x+h) = x3 + 3x + h.
18.
If f(x) =
1

2x
, then f(x+h)=
1

2x
+ h.
19.
If f(x) =
x

x 1
, then the largest possible domain of f consists of all real numbers except 0.
20. Every equation in x has at least one solution that can be found with a graphing calculator.
