Vocab 1
The point where the line crosses the y-axis.
What is the y-intercept?
The amount of spaces a line has to move on a grid. The "mx" in y = mx + b.
What is slope?
The model created by a linear function represents what the function would look like on a grid.
What is a linear model?
Relations between sums over the complex number zeroes of an L-function and sums over prime powers.
What is an explicit formula?
When the ratio of the output to the input stays the same at any given point in the function.
What is constant rate of change?
The point where the line crosses the x-axis.
What is the x-intercept?
A routine that calls itself directly or indirectly.
What is a recursive function?
A way to describe continuous sets of real numbers by the numbers that bound them. When written, they look somewhat like ordered pairs. However, they are not meant to denote a specific point.
What is interval notation?
A statement that the values of two mathematical expressions are equal.
What is an equation?
A multiplicative factor in some term of a polynomial, a series, or an expression. The number behind a variable.
What is a coefficient?
The letter next to a number, the letter representing any number.
What is the variable?
The lowest and highest value on a box plot showing the limits of the numbers.
What is range?
A relation that makes a non-equal comparison between two numbers or other mathematical expressions.
What is an inequality?
A set of possible inputs; is the set of input values where the function is defined.
What is a domain?
Used to find the slope of a graphed function.
What is average rate of change?
A single mathematical expression.
What is a term?
A quantity whose value is selected for the particular circumstances and about which other variable quantities may be expressed.
What is parameter?
A number that you multiply with another number to get a product.
What is a factor?
A description of a set of branches of math that all have in common the feature that they are "________" rather than "continuous".
What is discrete?
An ordered set of numbers that have a common difference between each consecutive term.
What is an arithmetic sequence?
A method of solving equations by making the variable equal to something else and inputting that in place of the variable.
What is substitution?
The composition of the x coordinate and the y coordinate is contained within the parenthesis.
What is an ordered pair?
A collection of symbols that jointly express a quantity.
What is an expression?
A description of a set of branches of math that all have in common the feature that they are "discrete" rather than "__________".
What is continuous?
Those whose graph is a straight line.
What is a linear function?
