Question | Answer |
---|---|
Arithmetic Sequence | a sequence whose successive terms differ by the same nonzero number d, called the common difference (adding the same term each time) |
Constant of Proportionality | the constant k in direct and inverse variation equations |
Continuous | a function whose graph is an unbroken line or curve with no gaps or breaks |
Discrete | a function whose graph is made up of unconnected points |
Domain | the set of all first coordinates (or x-values) of a relation or function |
Function | a relation in which every domain value is paired with exactly one range value (every input has exactly one output) |
Function Notation | If x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable, then the function notation for y is f (x), read “f of x,” where f names the function. |
Initial Value | the starting value or the y-intercept of a graph, b |
Interval Notation | a way of writing subsets of the real number line using endpoints, parentheses(), and/or brackets[] |
Linear Function | A function that can be written in the form y = mx + b, where x is the independent variable and m and b are real numbers. Its graph is a line. |
Parent Function | The simplest function with the defining characteristics of the family. Functions in the same family are transformations of their parent function |
Point-Slope Form | the equation of a line in the form of y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x,y) is a specific point on the line |
Proportional Relationships | relationships between two equal ratios |
Range | the set of all second coordinates (or y-values) of a function or relation |
Rate of Change | a ratio that compares the amount of change in a dependent variable to the amount of change in an independent variable |
Slope | a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated by dividing the rise by the run of a graph |
Slope-intercept form | a linear equation written in the form y = mx + b, where m represents slope and b represents the y-intercept |
Standard form | a linear equation written in the form Ax + By = C, where A, B and C are real numbers and A and B are not both 0 |
x-Intercept | The x-coordinate of the point where a graph intersects the x-axis. |
y-Intercept | The y-coordinate of the point where a graph intersects the y-axis. |
