| a line that a graph gets closer to as the value of a variable becomes extremely large or small | Asymptote |
| the value of b in a function of the form f(x)=ab^x, where a and b are real numbers with a -- 0, b>0, and b-- 1 | Base |

| a limitation on the possible values of variables in a model, often expressed by an equation or inequality or by specifying that the value must be an integer | Constraint |
| the trends in the y-values of a function as the x-values approach positive and negative infinity | End Behavior |
| an exponential function of the form f(x)=ab^x in which 0<b<1, If r is the rate of decay, then the function can be written y=a (1-r)^t, where a is the initial amount and t is the time | Exponential Decay |

| a way of writing subsets of the real number line using endpoints, parenthesis, and/or brackets | Interval Notation |
| one of the constants in a function or equation that may be changed. Also the third variable in a set of parametric equations | Parameter |
| a sequence in which one or more previous terms are used to generate the next term | Recursive Relationship |
| a fixed percent of the principal | Simple Interest |
| multiplying a function by a positive constant greater than 1 | Stretch |
