Termen in deze set(18)

What is a function?

A relation where each input has exactly one output. Example: f(x)=x2\displaystyle f(x) = x^2.

True or false: All graphs represent functions.

False, because some graphs have vertical lines that fail the vertical line test.

Difference between linear and quadratic functions?

Linear: constant rate of change. Quadratic: variable rate, parabolic shape.

Fill in the blank: A graph that passes the vertical line test is a ___

Function.

What does the slope represent in a graph?

The rate of change of the function. It indicates how steep the line is.

Identify the y-intercept from the graph.

Where the graph intersects the y-axis. Example: (0, b) for y=mx+b\displaystyle y = mx + b.

True or false: The x-intercept is where y = 0.

True, because it is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis.

What is the effect of a negative slope?

The function decreases as x increases; it's a downward trend.

Example of a real-world function.

Distance = Speed x Time. Graphing distance vs. time gives a linear function.

When is a function increasing?

When the graph moves upward as you go from left to right.

What are asymptotes?

Lines that a graph approaches but never touches. Common in rational functions.

Identify the vertex of a parabola.

The highest or lowest point of the graph, depending on direction.

True or false: A graph can have multiple y-values for one x-value.

False, that would violate the definition of a function.

Effect of shifting a graph up?

Increases all y-values by the same amount, shifting the entire graph vertically.

What does the area under a curve represent?

In context, it often represents total accumulation, like distance or profit.

Difference between continuous and discrete functions?

Continuous: can take any value. Discrete: only specific values are allowed.

What is a piecewise function?

A function defined by different expressions over different intervals.

Identify a point of discontinuity.

A point where the graph jumps or breaks, indicating a gap in the function.
