BIG MATH
output
The result of substituting a value into a function.
domain
The set of x-coordinates in a relation.
range
The set of y-coordinates in a relation.
zeros
The x-intercepts of the graph of a function; the points for which f(x)=0.
input
A value substituted for an x-value in a function.
mapping
illustration of how each element of the domain is paired with an element in the range
vertical line test
If any vertical line passes through no more than one point of the graph of a relation, then the relation is a function.
Origin
A fixed point from which coordinates are measured.
Arithmetic Sequence Formula
A formula used to find the nth number of an arithmetic sequence
arithmetic sequence
A numerical pattern that increases or decreases at a constant rate or value. The difference between successive terms of the sequence is constant.
Coordinate Plane
A plane that is divided into four regions by a horizontal line called the x-axis and a vertical line called the y-axis.
Quadrants
Four regions into which a coordinate plane is divided by the x-axis and the y-axis
continuous graph
a graph made up of connected lines or curves
discrete graph
a graph made up of unconnected points
Ordered Pair
a pair of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane
function
a relation in which each element of the domain is paired with exactly one element of the range
relation
a set of ordered pairs
function notation
a way to name a function that is defined by an equation
common difference
the difference between consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence
x-coordinate
the first number in an ordered pair
X-axis
the horizontal number line in a coordinate plane
y-coordinate
the second number in an ordered pair
Y-axis
the vertical number line in a coordinate plane
