LINEAR FUNCTIONS
The linear function is y=mx+b, where "b" represents the y-intercept and "m" represents this
What is slope?
The average of a set of data is known by this term, the same word you might use to describe your older brother who just pushed you over
What is the mean?
The exponential function is y=a(b)^x where "b" represents the growth or decay factor, and "a" represents this
What is the initial value?
In an arithmetic sequence, the number you add in order to get from one term to the next is known as this
What is the common difference?
The inverse of adding is subtracting; in the same vein, the inverse of squaring is known as this
What is the square root?
If the slope of a linear function is negative, this means that as the input variable increases, the output variable does this
What is decrease?
This type of statistical plot has whiskers, like a cat, but utilizes the five number summary, not like a cat
What is the box plot?
If the "b" value is greater than 1, it is known as exponential growth; if "b" if inbetween 0 and 1, it would be known as this
What is exponential decay?
In a geometric sequence where the first term is 3 and the common ratio is 4, this would be the second term in the sequence
What is 12?
What is an exponential function?
To find the slope of a linear function on a graph, you could find two coordinates and use (y2-y1/x2-x1); alternatively, you could save yourself some time and use this version of the formula instead that uses plain english
What is rise/run?
An increase in ice cream sales being associated with an increase in sunburns is a perfect example of how two variables can have a strong "this" but not actually cause each other
What is correlation?
The main difference between the exponential function and the linear function is that this defining feature of functions is constant for linear functions, but not constant in exponential ones
What is slope?
In a geometric sequence where the 1st term is 4 and the 3rd term is 16, this would be the common ratio of the sequence
What is 2?
When we see a multiple-choice question with the word "equivalent" we know we can use this special button on our calculator as a proverbial "cheat code"
What is the store button?
In the linear function f(x)=4x, f(7) would be equal to this
What is 28?
If the data is symmetrical, a statistician would use these two measures of central tendency to describe the data most accurately
What is the mean and standard deviation?
If a $10 baseball card increases in value at a rate of 40% per year, then the exponential function that would describe the value of the card would be y=10(this number)^x
What is 1.4?
Different from the arithmetic and geometric sequence, this type of sequence defines the first term and allows you to find any other term by using the one that came before it
What is a recursive sequence?
This is the best time to wear a striped sweater
What is all the time?
The x-intercept of a linear function is also known by this name, something people may need to go back to every once in a while
What is root?
Taking the third quartile and subtracting the first quartile results in this term, referencing the spread of the centermost data points
What is the interquartile range?
$100 deposited in a bank account with a 3% interest compounded annually can be represented by this exponential function
What is y=100(1.03)^x
In its technical definition, a sequence is a function whose domain is a subset of these types of numbers
What are the natural numbers?
This formula represents the quadratic formula, a popular formula used to find the x-intercepts of quadratic functions, and also the subject of a very annoying rap song Mr. Carpenter performed for his students
What is (too hard to type out without equation editor)?
