Question | Answer |
---|---|
direct variation | A linear function defined by an equation of the form y = kx, k does not equal 0. You say that y is directly proportional to x. |
rise | the vertical change between two points on a line. |
diameter | a segment that joins two points of the circumference with the center of the circle. |
arc | Part of a circle. Any angle |
dimensional analysis | A problem solving strategy where you cancel units of measurement as if they are numbers. |
variation constant | The linear function defined by an equation of the form y = kx, k does not equal 0. You say that y is directly proportions to x. |
run | The horizontal change between two points on a line. |
circumference | The perimeter of a circle. The distance around the circle. |
arc length | The measurement of an arc. |
sector | The region formed by a centrai angle and its arc is a sector. |
variation | The nonzero constant k in a direct variation defined by y = kx. |
slope | The measure of the steepness of a line given by the ratio of rise to run for any two points on the line. |
pi | The ratio of circumference to diameter is a constant. |
general form for direct variation | ratio of quantites = variation constant |
tangent ratio | The ratio compares the two legs of a right triangle. leg opposite / leg adjacent. |
conversion factor | A conversion factor is a ratio of two equal(or approximately equal) quantites that are measured in different units. |
