Question 0

Function

Answer 0

a relation in which every element of the domain is paired with exactly one element of the range; that is, for every value of x, there is exactly one value of y.

Question 1

Curve

Answer 1

the graphical representation of the solution set for y = f(x); in the special case of a linear equation, the curve will be a line

Question 2

Dependent Variable

Answer 2

the output variable of a function

Question 3

Domain

Answer 3

the set of all inputs of a function; the set of x-values that are valid for the function

Question 4

Function Notation

Answer 4

a way to name a function using f(x) instead of y

Question 5

Independent Variable

Answer 5

the input variable of a function

Question 6

Linear Equation

Answer 6

an equation that can be written in the form ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are rational numbers; can also be written as y = mx + b, in which m is the slope, b is the y-intercept, and the graph is a straight line. The solutions to the linear equation are the infinite set of points on the line

Question 7

Ordered Pair

Answer 7

a pair of values (x, y) where the order is significant

Question 8

Range

Answer 8

the set of all outputs of a function; the set of y-values that are valid for the function

Question 9

Relation

Answer 9

a relationship between two sets of elements

Question 10

Solution Set

Answer 10

the set of ordered pairs that represent all of the solutions to an equation or a system of equations

Question 11

System

Answer 11

a set of more than one equation

Question 12

Discrete

Answer 12

individually separate and distinct

Question 13

Explicit Formula

Answer 13

a formula used to find the nth term of a sequence; the explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is an = a1 + (n – 1)d; the explicit formula for a geometric sequence is an = a1 • r n – 1

Question 14

Natural Numbers

Answer 14

set of positive numbers [1, 2, 3, 4…]

Question 15

Recursive Formula

Answer 15

a formula used to find the next term of a sequence when the previous term or terms are known; the recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence is an = an – 1 + d; the recursive formula for a geometric sequence is an = an – 1 • r

Question 16

Sequence

Answer 16

an ordered list of numbers

Question 17

Asymptote

Answer 17

a line that a graph gets closer and closer to, but never crosses or touches

Question 18

Continuous

Answer 18

having no breaks

Question 19

Domain

Answer 19

the set of all inputs in a formula

Question 20

Extrema

Answer 20

the minima and maxima in a function

Question 21

Integer

Answer 21

a number that is not a fraction or a decimal

Question 22

Intercept

Answer 22

the point where a line on the x or y-axis meet/ intersect

Question 23

Interval

Answer 23

continuous series of values

Question 24

Irrational Numbers

Answer 24

numbers that cannot be written as a/b, where a and b are integers and b ≠ 0; any number that cannot be written as a decimal that ends or repeats
