TheCartesianplane The Cartesian plane is formed by using two real number lines intersecting at right angles. The horizontal line is usually called x-axis, and the vertical line is usually called the y-axis. The point of intersection of these two axes is the origin, and the two axes divide the plane into four parts called quadrants. Each point in the plane corresponds to an ordered pair (x, y) of real numbers x and y, called coordinates of the point. The x-coordinate represents the directed distance from the y-axis to the point, and the y-coordinate represents the directed distance from the x-axis to the point.
Distance between two points Consider the two points in the Cartesian plane (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). The distance between the two points is given by the formula
Sketching Relations in the Cartesian Plane • Given a relation between two variables x and y in the plane xy, we can make a sketch to that relation by these easy steps, GUC - Wniter 2009
Sketching Relations in the Cartesian Plane • Pick enough number of values of one variable (x or y). GUC - Wniter 2009
Sketching Relations in the Cartesian Plane • Pick enough number of values of one variable (x or y). • For each value x (or y), calculate the corresponding value of the other dependent value y (or x). GUC - Wniter 2009

Example A • Sketch the relation y = 2x + 1 Solution • Here it is easier to take x as independent variable and calculate the corresponding values of y GUC - Wniter 2009
Example 2 • Sketch the relation y = 2x + 1 Solution • Here it is easier to take x as independent variable and calculate the corresponding values of y • Choose x = -2, 0, 2 GUC - Wniter 2009
Example 2 • Sketch the relation y = 2x + 1 Solution • Here it is easier to take x as independent variable and calculate the corresponding values of y • Choose x = -2, 0, 2 • The corresponding values of y are: -3, 1, 5 respectively. GUC - Wniter 2009

f x y =f(x) Functions A function is an operation performed on an input (x) to produce an output (y = f(x) ). In other words : A function is a machine that takes a value x in the domain and gives you a value y=f(x) in the range The Domain of f is the set of all allowable inputs (x values) The Range of f is the set of all outputs (y values) Domain Range
Types of Functions • Polynomial Functions (Polynomials) A function f(x) is called a polynomial if it is of the form: Where n is a non-negative integer and the numbers a0,a1,…,an are constants called coefficients of the polynomial. n is called the degree of the polynomial is called the leading coefficient is called the absolute coefficient
Example 6 For each of the following polynomials, determine the degree, the leading coefficient, and the absolute coefficient
Special polynomialsThe zero degree polynomial(the constant function)
Polynomials • Notes • 1- A linear function f(x) = mx + c is a polynomial of degree 1 • 2- A constant function f(x) = c, where c is constant is a polynomial of degree 0
Domain of Function • The domain of a function y = f(x) is the set of values that the variable x can take.
Domain of a Polynomial • From the definition of a polynomial, it is easy to realize that the domain of a polynomial is the set of all Real numbers R
