Chapter 1: Linear Equations and Graphs
- Section 1: Linear Equations and Inequalities
Break-even point TC=R
- Section 2: Graphs and Lines
The point-slope form of the equation of a line is
where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a given point.
It is derived from the definition of the slope of a line:
Cross-multiply and substitute the more general x for x2

Vertical Translation: y = f (x) + k
• k > 0 Shift graph of y = f (x) up k units.
• k < 0 Shift graph of y = f (x) down |k| units.
Horizontal Translation: y = f (x + h)
• h > 0 Shift graph of y = f (x) left h units.
• h < 0 Shift graph of y = f (x) right |h| units.
Reflection: y = –f (x)
Reflect the graph of y = f (x) in the x axis.
Vertical Stretch and Shrink: y = Af (x)
• A > 1: Stretch graph of y = f (x) vertically by multiplying
each ordinate value by A.
• 0 < A < 1: Shrink graph of y = f (x) vertically by multiplying
each ordinate value by A.
- Section 3: Quadratic Functions
If a 0, then the graph of f is a parabola.
• If a > 0, the graph opens upward.
• If a < 0, the graph opens downward. Vertex is (h , k)
Axis of symmetry: x = h
f (h) = k is the minimum if a > 0, otherwise the maximum
Domain = set of all real numbers
Range: if a < 0. If a > 0, the range is

Chapter 3: Limits and the Derivative
- Section 1: Introduction to Limits
- Section 2: Infinite Limits and Limits at Infinity
An infinite limit is a limit of the form
(y goes to infinity). It is the same as a vertical asymptote (as long as a is a finite number).
A limit at infinity is a limit of the form
(x goes to infinity). It is the same as a horizontal asymptote (as long as L is a finite number).
