GEOMETRIC SEQUENCES These are sequences where the ratio of successive terms of a sequence is always the same number. This number is called the common ratio.

VECTORS. A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is represented by an arrow. The length of the vector represents the magnitude.

COMPOSITION OF FUNCTIONS “SUBSTITUTING ONE FUNCTION INTO ANOTHER”

Must be able to work either The Composition Function Must be able to work either This is read “f composition g” and means to copy the f function down but where ever you see an x, substitute in the g function. FOIL first and then distribute the 2

You could multiply this out but since it’s to the 3rd power we won’t This is read “g composition f” and means to copy the g function down but where ever you see an x, substitute in the f function. You could multiply this out but since it’s to the 3rd power we won’t

This is read “f composition f” and means to copy the f function down but where ever you see an x, substitute in the f function. (So sub the function into itself).
