Test 1 (2.2-3.5) Flashcards
Slope
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Average rate of exchange
Δy/Δx
vertical line
x=a
point slope form of a line
y-y1=m(x-x1)
horizontal line
y=b
slope-intercept form
y=mx+b
general form of a line
Ax+By=C
Standard form of an equation of a circle
(x-h)(squared)+(y-k)(squared)=r(squared)
general form of a circle
x(squared)+y(squared)+ax+by+c=0
direct variation
y=kx
inverse variation
y=k/x
joint variation
y=k(at)/x
the number k is called the
constant of proportionality
when the value of one variable is related to the value of a second variable it is called a
relation
a relation is
a correspondence between two sets
when speaking of functions we say x ___ to y or y ___ on x
corresponds, relies
how do you write x corresponds to y?
x—>y
x is the ___ and y is the ___
input, output
the set of all inputs for a relation is called
the domain
the set of all outputs for a relation is called
the range
a ___ is a special type of relation
function
Definition of a function
a function form X into Y is a relation that associates with each element of X exactly one element of Y
the set X is called the
domain
the set Y is called the
range
the corresponding y to set x is called the
value or the image of x
for a function no input has…
more than one output
for a function, the variable x is called the
independent variable
