HONALG2 FIRST SEMESTER REVIEW

Front

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

The standard form of a linear equation is represented as Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers, and A should be non-negative.

Front

How do you find the cost of an item using a system of equations?

Back

You can set up a system of equations based on the given information and solve for the unknowns using methods like substitution or elimination.

Front

What is the vertex form of a quadratic equation?

Back

The vertex form of a quadratic equation is given by y = a(x - h)² + k, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Front

What does the end behavior of a polynomial function indicate?

Back

The end behavior of a polynomial function describes how the function behaves as x approaches positive or negative infinity.

Front

What is the significance of the vertex in a quadratic function?

Back

The vertex represents the maximum or minimum point of the parabola, indicating the highest or lowest value of the function.

Front

How do you determine the intersection of two lines graphically?

Back

To find the intersection of two lines graphically, plot both lines on the same graph and identify the point where they cross.

Front

What is the purpose of using matrices in solving systems of equations?

Back

Matrices provide a structured way to represent and solve systems of linear equations efficiently using methods like row reduction.

Front

What is the quadratic formula?

Back

The quadratic formula is used to find the roots of a quadratic equation and is given by x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a).

Front

What does the term 'slope' refer to in a linear equation?

Back

The slope of a linear equation indicates the steepness of the line and is calculated as the change in y over the change in x (rise/run).

Front

How do you find the y-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept can be found by setting x = 0 in the equation and solving for y.
