4 Sequences and Series Day 1 Notes: Arithmetic Sequences Sequences Sequence: a function whose domain is a set of consecutive integers. Domain: the position of the term (1 st, 2 nd, 3 rd, and so on). Range: the terms of the sequence. Terms: the numbers in the sequence. Finite Sequence: a sequence that has a last term. Infinite Sequence: a sequence that continues without stopping. Rule for the nth term: means to write an equation of the arithmetic sequence. Look at the following sequences: a n = 2, 4, 6, 8 a n = 2, 4, 6, 8,.. If n represents the position of the term, then a 2 refers to the 2 nd term. Writing Terms of Sequences To write the first six terms of a sequence, plug the numbers 1 6 in for n. Example 1: Write the first six terms of the sequence. a) a n = 5 n b) f(n) = 5 n Example 2: Write the next term in the sequence. a) 1, 4, 9, 16, 25,, b) 5, 25, 125,, c) 4 5 6,,,, d) 0, 3, 8, 15, 24,, e) 1, 2, 5, 10, 17,, f) 8, 16, 32, 64, 3

5 Arithmetic Sequences Common difference: in an arithmetic sequence, take the second term minus the first term. The common difference is denoted using the letter d. a 1 : represents the first term of a sequence. The nth term of an arithmetic sequence with first term a 1, and common difference d is given by: a n a1 + ( n 1)d = or = term value + ( term number) a n d n To write the rule, replace a 1 and d with what they equal and simplify or replace the term value, term number, and d with what they equal and simplify.

12 Sequences and Series Day 2 Notes: Arithmetic Series Series Series: when the terms of a sequence are added together. Summation Notation: (sigma notation). Greek letter sigma: Σ Think about Microsoft Excel. There is a button that looks like sigma on the toolbar. If you use it, it will ADD cells together. Finite Series: Summation notation: = i= Index of summation: i 4 1 2i. Lower limit: 1 (the first position) Upper limit: the last position (in the example it is 4) 4 i= 1 2i The sum from i equals 1 to 4 of 2i Infinite Series: Summation notation is very similar. If the terms go on FOREVER, what math symbol does this refer to? [ ] infinity! So your upper limit changes to. 2i i=1 Writing Series with Summation Notation *Find the pattern the SAME way as sequences. *For finite series, determine the upper limit. **NOTE! The index of summation does not have to be i any letter can be used! The index does not have to start at 1. If it starts at 3, it means that you are starting with the 3 rd term. Example 1: Write the series with summation notation. a) b)

48 Combinatorics Day 1 Notes: Venn Diagrams Venn diagram: a diagram used to represent a relationship between sets. When drawing a Venn diagram, we begin with a rectangle, which represents a universal set U. Inside the rectangle we draw circles to represent subsets of the universal set. For example, consider the Venn diagram below. Here we have a universal set of 1,000 typical Americans. The set A represents those who own a dog. The set B represents those who own a cat. Of our 1,000 typical Americans, a total of 450 are in set A and a total of 140 are in set B. U A B Notice that sets A and B overlap. This represents the fact that 40 of our 1,000 typical Americans have both a cat and a dog. We call the set of elements that any two sets A and B have in common the intersection of A and B, which we denote by A B. It is the shaded region in the Venn diagram below. U A B The set of people who have either a cat or a dog represents the union of sets A and B, which we denote by A B region in the Venn diagram below. U A B. It is the shaded The set of all elements not in a set A is called the complement of A and is denoted A. In the union diagram directly above, the un-shaded region inside the rectangle represents A B, the complement of A B. The complement consists of people who have neither a dog or a cat. Look again at the very first Venn diagram. If we let ( A B) that n( A B) = 550. Notice that n( A B) n(a) + n(b) n designate the number of elements in the union of sets A and B, we see (that is, ), because the number of people in A B are counted twice when n(a) and n(b) are added. To compensate, we must subtract n(a B) once from the sum: ( A B) n = n(a) + n(b) n(a B) The intersection of events A and B is the empty set because they do not have anything in common. The symbol used to denote the empty set is Ø. (The empty set is an event with nothing in it). U A B Example 1: Of the 540 seniors at Oswego East High School, 335 are taking mathematics, 287 are taking science, and 220 are taking both math and science. Use a Venn diagram to determine how many are taking neither math nor science. 47

54 Combinatorics Day 2 Notes: The Fundamental Counting Principle and Permutations Fundamental Counting Principal TWO EVENTS: If one event can occur in m ways and another event can occur in n ways, then the number of ways that both events can occur is m n. (If one event can occur in 3 ways and another event can occur in 6 ways, then both events can occur in 3 6 = 18 ways.) THREE OR MORE EVENTS: The fundamental counting principle extended. If 3 events can occur in m, n, and p ways, then the number of ways that all three events can occur is m n p. (If three events can occur in 3, 4, and 8 ways, then all three events can occur in = 96 ways.) Example 1: a) At Oswego East High School, there are 273 freshmen, 291 sophomores, 252 juniors, and 292 seniors. In how many different ways can a committee of 1 person from each class be chosen? b) Mr. and Mrs. Cal Q. Leight go out to dinner after a long day sitting on their elliptical deck and enjoying a swim in their pool. At the restaurant they go to, they each have a choice of 8 different entrees, 2 different salads, 12 different soft drinks, and 6 different desserts. In how many ways can Mr. C choose 1 salad, 1 entrée, 1 soft drink, and 1 dessert? Fundamental Counting Principle with Repetition Example 2: The standard configuration of an Illinois license plate used to be 3 letters followed by 3 digits. a) How many different license plates were possible if letters and digits can be repeated? b) How many different license plates are possible if letters and digits cannot be repeated? Example 3: A multiple choice test has 10 questions with 4 multiple choices for each question. In how many different ways could you complete the test? Permutations Permutation: an ordering of n objects, where the order of the objects is important (does matter). ***There are 6 permutations of the letters A, B, and C: ABC, ACB, BCA, BAC, CAB, and CBA. Since there are 3 choices for the 1 st letter, 2 choices for the 2 nd, and 1 choice for the 3 rd, there are = 6 ways to arrange the letters. (3 2 1 can be written 3!) In general, the number of permutations of n objects is: n! (Use this when ALL objects are being chosen) 53

55 Example 4: 10 skiers are competing in the final round of the Olympic freestyle skiing aerial competition. a) In how many different ways can the skiers finish the competition? (Assume there are no ties) Example 5: You have homework assignments from 5 different classes to complete this weekend. In how many different ways can you complete the assignments, if the order is important? Example 6: There are 8 movies you would like to see that are currently showing in theaters, you movie-goer! In how many different ways can you see all of the 8 movies, if the order is important? Permutations of n objects taken r at a time The number of permutations of r objects taken from a group of n distinct objects is denoted by: only SOME of the objects are being chosen) n P r = n! ( n r)! (Use this when Example 7: 10 skiers are competing in the final round of the Olympic freestyle skiing aerial competition. In how many different ways can 3 of the skiers finish first, second, and third place to win the gold, silver, and bronze? Example 8: You have homework assignments from 5 different classes to complete this weekend. In how many different ways can you choose 2 of the assignments to complete first and last? 54

56 Example 9: There are 9 players on a baseball team. In how many ways can you choose the batting order for all 9 of the players? Example 10: How many 9-letter words can be formed using the letters of the word FISHERMAN? (Note: We allow any arrangement of letters, such as HAMERSNIF, to count as a word. We also assume each letter is used exactly once). Example 11: a) How many 4-digit numbers contain no 5 s? b) How many 4-digit numbers contain at least one 5? Permutations with Repetition (Keywords: distinguishable, identical) Permutations that are not distinguishable, meaning you can t tell one permutation or arrangement from another one in the list, are often found with repeating objects like the letters in the word WOW. WOW OWW WWO WOW OWW WWO Only 3 are distinguishable without color (WOW, OWW, WWO) So in this case the # of permutations is 3! / 2! = 3 In general, the number of distinguishable permutations of n objects where one object is repeated q 1 times, another is repeated q 2 times, and so on is: n! q! q!... q! ( ) 1 2 Example 12: Find the number of distinguishable permutations of the letters. a) SUMMER b) WATERFALL c) ILLINOIS k Example 13: A person walks from A to B always traveling east or south. How many paths are possible? A B 55

118 Probability Day 6 Notes: Working with Conditional Probability and Expected Value We are going to consider the probability of a certain cause when a certain effect is observed. For example, a flu can cause symptoms such as high fever and sore throat, but these can be symptoms of other disorders besides flu. The first example examines the probability that a person who has a fever (an effect) also has the flu (a possible cause of the fever). Example 1: During a flu epidemic, 35% of a school s students have the flu. Of those with the flu, 90% have high temperatures. However, a high temperature is also possible for people without the flu; in fact, the school nurse estimates that 12% of those without the flu have high temperatures. a) Incorporate the facts given above into a tree diagram. b) About what percent of the student body have a high temperature? c) If a student has a high temperature, what is the probability that the student has the flu? Example 2: a) Find the missing probabilities in the tree diagram: 0.3? X X ?? Y Y Y Y b) Find P(X and Y) c) Find P(X and Y) d) Find P(Y) e) P(X Y) 117

119 Expected Value A collection of outcomes is partitioned into n events, no two events which have any outcomes in common. The probabilities of the n events occurring are p 1, p 2, p 3,, p n where p 1 + p 2 + p p n = 1. The values of the n events are x 1, x 2, x 3,, x n. The expected value V of the collection of outcomes is the sum of the products of the events probabilities and their values. V = p 1 x 1 + p 2 x 2 + p 3 x p n x n Any games or situations where you can win or lose points based on certain outcome rules, and involves probabilities for each, relates to the concept of expected value. Example 3: Find the expected value: a) Payoff b) Probability Payoff Probability Example 4: You and a friend each flip a coin. If both coins land heads up, then your friend scores 3 points and you lose 3 points. If one or both of the coins land tails up, then you score 1 point and your friend loses 1 point. What is the expected value of the game from YOUR point of view? Example 5: A box contains 5 red balls and 4 green balls. Two balls are randomly chosen without replacement. If both are red, you win $4. If just one is red, you win $2. Otherwise you lose $2. What is your expected gain or loss? 118

Directrix: the line from which points on a parabola are equidistant. Axis of symmetry: a line perpendicular to the directrix through the focus of a parabola. You can use the standard form of the equation for a parabola to determine the characteristics of the parabola such as the vertex, focus, and directrix.

162 Pre-Calculus Conics Day 4 Notes: Parametric Equations Consider the graphs below, each of which models different aspects of what happens when a certain object is thrown into the air. Figure (a) shows the vertical distance the object travels as a function of time, while Figure (b) shows the object s horizontal distance as a function of time. Figure (c) shows the object s vertical distance as a function of its horizontal distance. (a) (b (c) Each of these graphs and their equations tells part of what is happening in this situation, but not the whole story. To express the position of the object, both horizontally and vertically, as a function of time we can use parametric equations. The equations below both represent the graph shown in Figure (c). Rectangular Equation Parametric Equations 2 2 y = x + x x = 30 2t Horizontal component 2 y = 16t t+ 40 Vertical component From the parametric equations, we can now determine where the object was at a given time by evaluating the horizontal and vertical components for t. For example, when t = 0, the object was at (0, 40). The variable t is called a parameter. The graph shown plotted over the time interval 0 t 4. Plotting points in the order of increasing values of t traces the curve in a specific direction called the orientation of the curve. This orientation is indicated by arrows on the curve as shown. 161

163 Example 1: Sketch the curve created by x = t 2 t 1 and y = + 2 over the interval 3 t t t Example 2: Sketch the curve created by x = 1 and y = + 2 over the interval 5 t Example 3: Write y = 2t and x = t in rectangular form. 162

165 Example 6: Use the parameter t = x 1 to write the parametric equations that can represent y = x Then graph the equation, indicating the speed and orientation. Example 7: Use the parameter t = 2x to write the parametric equations that can represent y = x Then graph the equation, indicating the speed and orientation. Example 8: Use the parameter 2 2 x t = to write the parametric equations that can represent y = x Then graph the equation, indicating the speed and orientation. 164

166 Parametric equations are often used to simulate projectile motion. The path of a projectile launched at an angle other than 90 with the horizontal can be modeled by the following parametric equations. Example 9: Shane Lechler of the Oakland Raiders has the record career punting average with an average of yards. Suppose that he kicked the ball with an initial velocity of 16 yards per second at an angle of 72. How far will the ball travel horizontally, after 2 seconds, if he punts it with an initial height of 2 feet? Example 10: Aaron kicked a soccer ball with an initial velocity of 39 feet per second at an angle of 44 with the horizontal. After 0.9 second, how far has the ball traveled horizontally? 165

174 Trig Day 1 Notes Recall that an angle is formed by two rays that have a common endpoint, called the vertex. You can generate any angle by fixing one ray, called the initial side, and rotating the other ray, called the terminal side, about the vertex. In a coordinate plane, an angle whose vertex is at the origin and whose initial side is the positive x-axis is in standard position. The measure of an angle is determined by the amount and direction of rotation from the initial side to the terminal side. The angle measure is positive if the rotation is counterclockwise, and negative if the rotation is clockwise. The terminal side of an angle can make more than one complete rotation. *The common unit to measure very large angles is the revolution. Quadrant I *The common unit to measure smaller angles is the degree. Quadrant II Quadrant III Quadrant IV Example 1: Draw an angle with the given measure in standard position. Then tell which quadrant the terminal side lies. a) 120 b) 400 c) 525 d) 240 *Two angles in standard position are called coterminal angles if they have the same terminal ray. To find a positive coterminal angle add 360 (or 2π) to the original angle until the answer is positive. To find a negative coterminal angle subtract 360 (or 2π) from the original angle until the answer is negative. Example 2: Find one positive and one negative angle that are coterminal with a) 100 b) 575 So far, all the angles you have worked with have been measured in degrees. You can also measure angles in radians. To define a radian, consider a circle with radius r centered at the origin. One radian is the measure of an angle in standard position whose terminal side intercepts an arc of length r. 173

175 Because the circumference of a circle is 2πr, there are 2π radians in a full circle. Degree measure and radian measure are therefore related by the equation 360 = 2π radians, or 180 = π radians. The diagram shows equivalent radian and degree measures for special angles from 0 to 360 (0 radians to 2π radians). You may find it helpful to memorize the equivalent degree and radian measures of special angles in the first quadrant and for 90 = 2 π radians. All other special angles are just multiples of these angles. You can also use the following rules to convert degrees to radians and radians to degrees. Example 3: 5π a) Convert 320 to radians. Round to the nearest hundredth. b) Convert radians to degrees. Round to the 12 nearest tenth. c) Convert 3.7 radians to degrees. Round to the nearest hundredth.
