vocab 101
This is a letter or symbol, like \(x\), used to represent an unknown value.
what is variable
unlike an expression, this mathematical statement uses an equals sigh to show two sides as the same
what is equation
this point /((0,0)/) is where the x-axis and y-axis intersect on a graph
what is origin
a function whose graph is a straight line is known by this term.
This is the numerical or constant quantity placed before a variable.
what is coefficient
this is a mathematical statement that uses symbols like /(</) or /(>/) to compare two values.
what is inequality
the coordinate plane is divided into four of these sections, named I, II, III, and IV
what is quadrant
this term refers to the set of all possible output values (/y/)) for a function
what is range
this is an expression like \(5x^{3}\), this is the number \(3\), which indicates the power.
what is exponent
this is the value (or set of values) that makes an equation or inequality true
what is solution
this is the specific point where a graph crosses either the x-axis or the y-axis
what is intercept
to simplify a polynomial, you might break it down into this- a simpler expression that divides it evenly
what is factor
this term describes a polynomial with a degree of /(2/), often resulting in a U-shaped graph.
what is quadratic
this is a special type of relation where every input has exactly one output, often written in function notation.
what is function
for any given function, this term refers to the complete set of all possible input values (/(x/))
what is domain
what is rate of change/slope
this describes the rate of change of a line, often calculated as "rise over run"
what is slope/rate of change
this refers to the distance a number is from zero, always resulting in a non-negative value
what is absolute value
in a right triangle, this is the longest side located opposite the right angle
what is hypotenuse
for a rectangle on a graph, you multiply length by width to find this total space inside
what is area
