 Quadratic Function is a function defined by the equation

 Factoring Method can be used when the expression of the given function is factorable using any
of the special factoring patterns.

 Completing the Square Method can be used when the expression of the given function is
factorable, or not factorable, as long as the first two terms can be considered as parts of a
Perfect Square Trinomial.

 Quadratic Formula, however, can be used even if the expression is factorable or not, as long as
the function is quadratic.

Graph of a Quadratic Function

The graph of a quadratic function is called a parabola.

If you are going to take a closer look, the graphs of the functions are just the same. There is only a shift
of position/location downward. This transfer of location/ position of the graph is called TRANSLATION.

Polynomial function is a function defined by the equation,

Exponents are whole numbers, and are real numbers.

In Long Division Method, we apply the concept on how we divide whole numbers by alternately
performing division, multiplication, and subtraction, until we finished bringing down all the digits. The
only difference is that, here, the dividends and divisors are composed of algebraic expressions.

On the other hand, Synthetic Division is a short method on finding the quotient of polynomial functions.
In performing the operation, only the numerical coefficients are involved, and the operations being
alternately used are just multiplication and addition.

Remainder Theorem states that, if a polynomial f(x) is divided by x – c, where c is any constant, until the
remainder is obtained, the remainder r is equal to f©. In symbols, that is F© = r c represents the
additive inverse of the constant in the divisor.

An exponential function is a function defined by the equation,

Wherein a is a constant positive real number except from 1, and x is the exponent in the equation. The
exponent x is considered to be the independent variable of the function. The domain of the function is a
set of real numbers and the range is a set of positive number.
The Swiss Mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) was the one who computed the value of the
irrational number e up to 27 decimal places using the formula.

This irrational number was named after Euler, the reason why it was called Euler’s number. This rational
constant has a value approximately equal to 2.7182818285 rounded to the tenth decimal place.

Logarithmic Function is the inverse of Exponential Function, such that ? 0 ?ћ ? ?ɠ1. The
exponential function, ??ѥ, is equivalent to ? ?Ш?҂ ?(read as “the logarithm of y to the base a”
or “the logarithm to the base a of y”) in its logarithmic form.

The Logarithm of a Product The logarithm of the product of M and N to the base a is equal to the sum
of the logarithms of M and N to the base a. in symbols,

The Logarithm of a Quotient The logarithm of the product of ? ? To the base a is equal to the
difference of the logarithms of M and N to the base a. in symbols, that is

The Logarithm of a Power The logarithm of a power is described by the equation, LOGa Mn= nloga M

The Logarithm of a Root The logarithm of a root is described by the equation, ?Ш ?҂√ ?ҏ= ?Ш ?
҂??
