Vocab Flashcards
Increasing Interval
f(x) increases there is an increase in the x value
Decreasing Interval
f(x) decreased in the x value
Turning Point
function changes from increasing to decreasing or decreasing to increasing
Zero
value of x for which f(x) equals 0 (y=0) (x,0)
Maximum or Absolute Max
highest point
Minimum or Absolute Min
lowest point
Average Rate of Change
the average rate at which one quantity is changing with respect to something else changing (ex. y2-y1/x2-x1)
Relative Maximum
high point(s) second highest point
Relative Minimum
low point(s) second lowest point
Transformation
a change in position, size, or shape
Parameters
a constant in a function rule that can be changed (such as a or b in y =ax+b)
Even Function
f(-x)=f(x) its reflection across the y-axis are identical
Odd Function
f(-x)=f(x) the graph is the same when it is reflected across the y-axis as it is when reflected across the x-axis
Horizontal Stretch
g(x) if the constant is between 0 and 1 it will be a horizontal stretch
Horizontal Compression
if the constant is greater than 1 we will get a horizontal compression (ex. 1/3 would be 3)
