Document Summary

The point of this course is basic calculus geared toward economic applications. Definitions: function- a function is a rule for a relationship between an input, or independent, quantity and an output, or dependent, quantity in which each input value uniquely determines one output value. Output is the function of the input": function notation- the notation output= f(input)" defines a function named f". Output is f of input": vertical line test- to look at a graph and determine if it is a function. Draw a line through the given function on the graph. If the vertical line you drew intersects the graph more than once for any value of x then the graph is not the graph of a function. Constant: f(x)=c, where c is a constant number. So x (-6, 3: 2x2 + < 9x 3. 2x2 - 9x +4 < 0 (2x 1) (x 4) < 0.
