Question
Answer
Parent Function   The most basic graph (no shifts, stretches, etc.). *Must go through the origin* *Must be positive* ALWAYS LINEAR or QUADRATIC  
🗑
Quadratic Parent Function   y = x^2  
🗑
Linear Parent Function   y = x  
🗑
Domain   The X-VALUES for a specific function  
🗑
Range   The Y-VALUES for a specific function  
🗑
Absolute Value Parent Function   y = |x|  
🗑
Equation of a line   y = mx + b m = slope b = y - intercept  
🗑
X - intercept   Point where the line crosses the x-axis when y = 0 (x, 0)  
🗑
Y - intercept   Point where the line crosses the y-axis when x = 0 (0, y)  
🗑
Undefined slope   UP & DOWN IS UNDEFINED X = a #  
🗑
Zero Slope   AcrOss Y = a # (it can be graphed in the calc)  
🗑
Regular ________ (the name of a shape)   Tells you that all sides of the shape are congruent  
🗑
Solution to a system of equations   The point where the two graphs intersect  
🗑
Solving equations   The value or values that make the equation or inequality true (plug in the values and see which one works)  
🗑
Solutions of a quadratic equation   SOLUTIONS, ROOTS ZEROS, X-INTERCEPTS (where the graph crosses the x-axis)  
🗑
perimeter   The distance around the outside of a figure (in a circle, it is called the circumference)  
🗑
Equilateral triangle   All sides are equal, each angle is 60 degrees  
🗑
Isosceles Triangle   Two sides are the same (also means that two angles are the same)  
🗑
Supplementary Angles   The sum of the angles is 180 degrees (in alphabetical order C = 90, S = 180)  
🗑
Complementary Angles   The sum of the angles is 90o (in alphabetical order C = 90, S = 180)  
🗑
Sum of the angles of a triangle   180  
🗑
Less than   Made with the LEFT hand, Means shade BELOW  
🗑
reflection   MIRROR  
🗑
translation   SHIFT/SLIDE  
🗑
Greater than   Made with the RIGHT hand, Means shade ABOVE  
🗑
Parallel lines   Have the same slope Never touch  
🗑
Perpendicular lines   Meet at a 90 degree angle  
🗑
Line of symmetry   A line that can be drawn through a figure that causes both sides to look identical  
🗑
Scalene triangle   A triangle that has no congruent sides  
🗑
function   The x’s don’t repeat!!! Passes the vertical line test (if you draw a vertical line anywhere on the graph it only touches the graph once)  
🗑
Independent Variable (independent quantity)   Y Variable who’s value DEPENDS on another variable (must be an unknown)  
🗑
Dependent Variable (dependent quantity)   X Variable who’s value can be chosen If given an equation, it is the variable IN the equation (must be an unknown)  
🗑
Composite Figure   A figure composed of different shapes  
🗑
Similar figures   has proportional sides (set up a proportion and cross multiply)  
🗑
Total Surface Area   The area of all of the surfaces of a three dimensional figure  
🗑
Lateral Surface Area   The area of the surfaces of a three dimensional figure NOT including the base(s)  
🗑
Mean   The average of a set of data (add all then divide by how many there are)  
🗑
Median   In a set of data that is written in numerical order, the one in the MIDDLE  
🗑
Mode   In a set of data, the one that occurs the MOST  
🗑
Range   In a set of data, the difference between the highest and lowest  
🗑
Multiple probabilities   To find the probability of MULTIPLE (more than one) things happening MULTIPLY  
🗑
Rotation   To twist or turn a figure  
🗑
Theoretical Probability   What you think should happen before you find the probability of a set of events  
🗑
Volume   The space inside a 3 dimensional figure How much a figure can hold  
🗑
Experimental Probability   What actually happened when you found the probability of a set of events  
🗑
Dilation   Make bigger or smaller (multiply by a scale factor)  
🗑
Sales Tax   A percentage. It is added to the original price. Ex. Shirt cost 14.50 and there is 8.25% tax 14.50 + 14.50*.0825 = 15.70  
🗑
System of Equations   More than one equation  
🗑
Commission   A percent of a person’s sales. It is ADDED to their hourly pay. Ex. Sally makes $6/hour and works 20 hours and commission is 5%. How much will she make if she sells $1000. 6*20 + .05*1000 = 170  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
