Given the characteristic, name the function
This type of function has a constant rate of change
What is linear
The irrational number that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.
What is pi?
This Greek mathematician most commonly associated with a formula relating the three sides of a right triangle is also reputedly the first person to identify himself as a "philosopher," a Greek word meaning "lover of knowledge."
Who is Pythagoras?
The set of all points equidistant from a given point
What is a circle?
This polygon has an interior angle sum of 180 degrees
What is a triangle?
This type of function is analogous to a geometric sequence where each subsequent term is found by multiplying the current term by a common ratio
What is an exponential function?
The rate of change of a linear function, also known as the slope of a line, expressed as a ratio of rise (or vertical change) over run (or horizontal change)
What is m?
This important figure of the Scientific Revolution and inventor of the x-y axis lends his name to a third way to name the coordinate plane, the Cartesian Plane. However, he is perhaps most famous for his philosophical utterance: "I think; therefore, I am."
Who is Renee Descartes?
A closed plane figure made of line segments that meet at their endpoints
What is a polygon?
These lines have the same slopes
What are parallel lines?
The graph of this function is symmetrical about a vertical line passing through its vertex and it's rate of change has a common second difference
What is a quadratic function?
Rate, commonly used in both exponential growth and decay, as well as a common formula relating distance rate and time
What is r?
Although this English mathematician is credited, along with German mathematician Leibniz, with the development of Calculus, you probably know his name from his laws of motion.
Who is Sir Isaac Newton?
A polygon with ten sides
What is a decagon?
This parallelogram has congruent diagonals
What is a rectangle?
The v-shaped graph of this function can also be represented as a piecewise function of two linear functions with opposite slopes.
What is the absolute value function?
In geometry this is often the longest side of triangle, making it the hypotenuse if the triangle is a right triangle.
What is c?
In a popular story of this famous Syracusian mathematician, he reputedly ran through the streets naked shouting "Eureka" after realizing the principal of buoyancy in the bathtub. He is also the namesake of Merlin's owl in The Sword and the Stone.
Who is Archimedes?
A solid geometric figure whose end faces are two congruent parallel polygons and whose lateral sides are parallelograms
What is a prism?
This figure's diagonals are congruent, perpendicular angle bisectors.
What is a square?
The parent function of this type of function has a horizontal asymptote at y = 0
What is an exponential function?
This letter is used for a variety of things including scale factor and the vertical change in function transformation. In everyday life it is often a shorthand way to say "thousand"
What is k?
Reading "Elements," this Ancient Greek mathematician's most famous works was a favorite mental exercise of Abraham Lincoln, as he believed it honed his abilities as a lawyer to reason logically and demonstrate a proposition with proof.
Who is Euclid?
This quadrilateral is both a rhombus and a rectangle
What is a square?
This figure's six faces are congruent, perpendicular regular quadrilaterals.
What is a cube?
