Functions Flashcards
Parent function
The simplest function within a specific family; y equals X is the parent function for linear equations
Linear expression
And expression that does not contain any exponents
Order of operations
PEMDAS: The set order in which multi step equations must be solved: parentheses, exponents, multiplication, and division, Addition, and subtraction
Parallel lines
Lines that never intersect (coplanar). They have slopes that are congruent
Function (in math)
A special type of relation we are each input has only one output
Functional transformation: vertical compression
A functional transformation where the function slope becomes more shallow
Perpendicular lines
Lines that intersect at a right 90° angle. They have slopes that are opposite reciprocals, meaning there’s signs positive or negative are opposite and their fractions are flipped
Relation (in math)
A relationship between sets of values. In math, the relation is often between X values inputs and wide values outputs, and can be represented as a set of ordered pairs, a table of values, a mapping diagram, or a graph.
Direct variation
He relation between ex and YN which why equals a constant K times X
Sup formula
A fraction used to calculate slope, with the change in Y values in the numerator and the change in X values in the denominator
Functional transformation: vertical translation
A functional transformation where the function shifts up or down along the Y axis
Mapping diagram
Hey diagram showing a relations inputs and their corresponding outputs using arrows
Distributive property
A number in front of a group of terms will multiply all terms in the grouping individually
Like terms
Terms with the same variable an exponent combination
Functional transformation: horizontal translation
A functional transformation where the function shifts right or left along the X axis
