MTH403A: Functions

The Unit Review of Unit 1: Functions, Precalculus/Trigonometry.

TermDefinition
Dependent variable A variable in a function whose value is dependent upon the value of the independent variable.
Independent variable The input variable in a function. Its value determines the value of the dependent variable.
Function A special kind of relation in which each value of the input variable is paired with exactly one value of the output variable. A function usually has form of 'f(x) = x'.
Domain The set of all possible values of the independent variable. It is also the set of all values a function takes as inputs. The domain is represented by 'x'.
Range The set of all possible values of the dependent variable. It is also the set of all values a function returns as outputs. Range can be noted as 'f(x)', or 'y'.
Interval Notation A shorthand way of writing intervals using parentheses and brackets. Parentheses signify EXCLUDED value, while Brackets signify INCLUDED value.
Absolute Value function f(x) = |x|. The magnitude of x.
Greatest Integer function f(x) = x. The greatest integer less than or equal to x.
Many-to-One A function where two or more x-values are assigned to one y-value.
One-to-One A function where each y-value has one assigned x-value.
Vertical Line Test A vertical line drawn through a graph will touch in, at most, one place. Otherwise the test is failed, and the graph is not a function.
Difference Quotient A method of finding the slope between two points on a curve.
Linear function A function whose graph is a line.
Slope A ratio of the increase in y-coordinate of a line to the increase in x-coordinate of that line.
Arithmetic Sequence A collection of number separated by commas in which the difference between any two adjacent numbers is constant.
Explicit Formula A formula that allows the direct calculation of all terms in a sequence.
Partial Sum The sum of the first 'n' terms of a sequence. Denoted by the symbol Sn.
Recursive Formula A formula that defines numbers in a sequence in terms of previous numbers in the sequence.
Sequence A set of numbers written in a particular order.
Series A collection of terms in a sequence that are added together to produce a sum
Sigma Notation A shorthand notation using the Greek letter 'sigma' to denote the sum of a series.
Linear Equation An equation in which the variable is of degree one.
Linear Inequality An inequality in which the variable is of degree one.
Point-Slope Form A form of a linear equation that includes the coordinates of a point on the line and the line's slope. y – y1 = m(x – x1); (x1, y1)
Slope-Intercept Form A form of a linear equation that includes the slope of the line and the value of the y-intercept. y = mx + b
Standard Form (of a Linear Equation) A linear equation written in the form Ax + By + C = 0.
Undefined A value that cannot be computed.
Coincide To overlap, or in the case of lines, be identical.
Feasible Region A region on a graph that includes all possible solutions to a system of inequalities.
Matrix A collection of numbers represented in a rectangular format
Matrix Algebra A set of rules that describe how to solve complex algebraic problems using matrices.
Ordered Pair A combination of x- and y-coordinates that describe a point on a graph. (x, y)
Parallel Lines Two lines with equal slopes that never intersect.
System of Linear Equations A set of two or more linear equations.
Commutative Property Operations may be performed in any order and they will always produce the same result.
Function Composition Combining two functions into a single function.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
