Families of Functions and Solving Literal Equations (VCE SSCE Mathematical Methods): Flashcards

Related functions sharing form, differing by parameters

Constants (like $m$, $k$, $a$, $b$) that can take various values

Equals $-1$, so m_{perp} = -rac{1}{m}

Swap $x$ and $y$, then solve for $y$

Equation containing multiple variables and parameters

Set $y = 0$ and solve for $x$

Isolate the term containing $x$ first

Infinitely many functions

Consider parameter sign before multiplying/dividing

Describe families of transformations
