| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Function Notation | a relation in which every input results in one and only one output; usually denoted with f(x), g(x), h(x), k(x), and other letters |
| Radical Function | f(x)=√x |
| Radicand | the value under the square root |
| Rational Function | f(x)= 1/x |
| Domain (inputs): | all possible inputs (x-values) of a function; values that are independent in an equation or expression |
| Denominator Restriction | domain values that render a rational expression undefined. |
| Square Root (even root) Restriction | domain values that render a square root expression undefined |
| Range (outputs) | all possible outcomes (y-values) of a function; values that are dependent in an equation or expression |
| Interval Notation | a way to indicate inequalities by using brackets or parentheses instead of inequality symbols |
| U∪ ("union") | symbol used to merge 2 or more pieces of an interval |
| Point of discontinuity | an x-value on the graph where the y-value is undefined |
| Continuous graph | a graph with a domain of (-∞, ∞) |
| Discontinuous graph | a graph with a domain OTHER THAN (-∞, ∞) |
| Vertical Asymptote | domain values that render a rational expression undefined |
| Horizontal Asymptote | range values that render a rational expression undefined |
