1st Semester Review Vocab Terms Flashcards
M of the nonvertical line through (x1,y1) and (x2, y2) is m=y2-y1/x2-x1=change in y/ change in x, where x’s do NOT equal each other
Slope
When slope is undefined the line is….
vertical
When slope is 0 the line is….
horizontal
y-y1=m(x-x1), equation of line that passes through point (x,y) and has a slope of m.
Point Slope Form
an x, or vice versa that is inside the given information.
Linear Interpolation
When you must predict an x value based on y or vice versa, that is not inside the data
Linear Extrapolation
graph of the equation y=mx+b, is a line whose slope is m and whose y intercept is (o,b)
Slope-Intercept Form
Ax+By+C=0
General Form
x=a
vertical line
y=b
horizontal line
Two distiinct nonvertical lines when their slopes are equal, m1=m2
Parallel
Two nonvertical lines thats two slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. That is, (m1)=(-1/m2)
Perpendicular
two quantities that are related to each other by some rule of correspondance
Relation
relation that assigns to each element x in the set A exactly one element y in the set B.
Function
The set A, or set of inputs of the function f
Domain
The set B, or set of outputs for the function f
Range
x-value, set A,
input
y-value, set B
output
in y=x^2, x is the _____________ variable
Independent Variables
in y+x^2, y is the___________ variable
Dependent Variable
having input (x) and an output of f(x)
Function Notation
set of all real numbers for which the expression is defined (found on denominator)
Implied Domain
f(x+h)-f(x)/h where h does not equal zero
Difference Quotient
is the collection of ordered pairs (x,f(x)), such that x is in the domain of f. (visual)
