| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Function | Every x has exactly 1 y value (x's don't repeat) |
| Independent Variable | The variable that does not depend on something else, it can stand alone. (Words that represent the x values) |
| Dependent Variable | Variable that depends on something else. (represents the y values) |
| Equations | A math sentence stating 2 expressions are equal. (Does have an = sign) |
| Inequality | A statement that uses the symbols <, >, <=, >= |
| Parent Function Linear and Quadratic | Linear is y = x Quadratic is y = x^2 |
| Domain | the of x values |
| Range | the y values |
| Correlation | A relationship between two sets of data (Positive, Negative, No Correlation) |
| Variable | A letter or symbol that represents an unknown number |
| y-intercept | Where a graphed line or curve crosses the y axis |
| x-intercept | Where a graphed line or curve crosses the x axis |
| Parallel Lines | Two lines that never cross. (Have the same slope) |
| Slope | The rate of change. (The steepness of a line) |
| Direct Variation | Linear function in the form of y=kx. (It is proportional) |
| Base | The number or symbol being multiplied (has an exponent) |
| Exponent | A small superscript number that shows how many times a base is to be multiplied. |
| Zeros/Roots | The x-intercept. (Zeroes are written (#, 0) and roots are written as x=#) |
| Minimum | The bottom point where the graph changes directions. (the vertex of the quadratic with a positive value of a) |
| Maximum | The high point where the graph changes directions. (the vertex of the quadratic with a negative value of a) |
| Line of Symmetry | A line that makes the graph the same on both sides. |
