| Justify | Show your work |
| Explain | Use words to explain your answer |
| Function | The x-values do NOT repeat or it passes the VLT (vertical line test) |
| Vertical Line Test | When you draw a vertical line through a graph to determine whether it is a function visually. |
| Correlation Coefficient | The "r" value when you are finding the Linear Regression equation. Measures the strength of the relationship between two variables. |
| Evaluate | To find the value of an expression when the variable is replaced with a given number. |
| Vertex | The maximum or minimum point of the graph. (quadratic or absolute value) |
| Quadratic equation | An equation where the largest exponent is 2. |
| Ways to solve a Quadratic equation | Quadratic formula or factoring |
| Linear equation | An equation where the largest exponent is 1. Usually in the form y=mx+b. |
| Standard form | An equation written from the highest exponent to the lowest exponent. |
| Constant | The number without a variable in an expression. |
| Minimum or maximum value | The y-value of the vertex. |
| Trinomial | An expression with three terms, usually of the form ax^2 + bx + c |
| Domain | The values that go into a function, input, the x-values. |
| Range | The values that you get out of a function, output, y-values. |
| Slope formula | Delta Y / Delta X or Y1 - Y2 / X1 - X2 |
| Average rate of change | The slope of any two points not necessarily on a line. |
| Axis of Symmetry | An imaginary line that cuts a graph into two identical parts. Goes through the vertex of a parabola or absolute value graph. |
| Zeros, roots, x-intercepts | Where the graph crosses the x-axis. |
| Transformation | The result of a graph being shifted. |
| Y-intercept | Where the graph crosses the y-axis. |
| Range from statistics | Maximum value minus the minimum value |
| Median | The middle number when numbers are listed from smallest to largest. Best measure if data has an outlier. |
| Mean | The average (add all numbers and divide by the total numbers). Best measure if there is NOT an outlier. |
| Depreciates or Decays | Values are decreasing, usually used in exponential decay functions. |
| System of equations | A set of two or more linear equations. Solution will be the point of intersection. |
| Rational number | A number that can be written as a ratio (fraction) of two integers (negative or positive whole numbers) |
| Irrational number | A number that is not rational. Non-repeating and non-terminating decimals. Cannot be written as a fraction a/b. Famous examples pi, square root of 2. |
| Quartiles (Q1, Q3) | The median of the upper and lower halves of a data set. |
| Intervals | The range of numbers between two given numbers. |
| Graph of a quadratic function | Parabola - U shaped graph |
| Graph of an absolute value function | V shaped graph |
| Graph of a square root function | Shooting star graph |
| Graph of a cubic function | Snake graph |
| Exponential Equations | Y=a(b)^x An equation where the variable is the exponent. Exponential growth (b is greater than 1) or decay (b is less than 1) |
| Slope-Intercept form | Y=mx+b |
| Coefficient | The number multiplied with the variable (in front). |
| Leading Coefficient | The number multiplied by the variable with the largest exponent. |
| Degree | The largest exponent in an expression. |
| Product | Means to multiply. |
| Sum | Means to add. |
| Difference | Means to subtract. |
| Factor Completely | Means you need to pull out a GCF first, then xbox or square root method. |
