| function | a relationship or expression involving one or more variables. |
| Discrete Data | Data that can only take certain values |
| Independent variable | A variable whose variation does not depend on that of another |
| dependent variable | Variable whose value depends on that of another |
| Domain | the set of all possible x-values which will make the function "work", and will output real y-values. All the values that go into the function. |
| continuous data | quantitative data that can be measured |
| range | difference between lowest and highest value |
| coefficient | A number used to multiply a variable. Example: 6z means 6 times z, and "z" is a variable |
| step function | a function that increases or decreases abruptly from one constant value to another. |
| function notation | way a function is written y = f (x). |
| term | is either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together. separated by + or − signs, or sometimes by divide. 4x+ 7 = 5 |
| relation | relationship between sets of values. In math, it is between the x-values and y-values of ordered pairs. The set of all x-values is called the domain, and the set of all y-values is called the range. |
