| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Function | a clearly defined rule that converts an input into exactly one output |
| Function Notation | indicates what the rule, input, and output is. Serves two purposes: (1) to tell us the rule is and (2) to specify an output for a given input. y = f(x) |
| Piecewise Linear Function | |
| Maximum output values | the highest possible outputs in a function |
| Minimum output values | the lowest possible inputs in a function |
| Non-linear function | a function that doesn't make a straight line on a graph |
| Quadratic Function | |
| x-intercept | where y = 0. This is also called the function zeroes |
| y-intercept | the y-value where the graph crosses the y-axis. ALL y-intercepts happen when x = 0 |
| zeroes of a function | |
| increasing function | |
| decreasing function | |
| Turning points | also means verticies |
| Relative maximum or minimum | |
| inputs | |
| outputs | |
| average rate of change | how fast the output is changing compared to the input |
| slope | |
| domain | |
| range | |
| roster notation | |
| Relation | a correspondence between a first set, the domain, and a second set, the range, such that each element of the domain corresponds to at least one element of the range |
