Front

What does the vertex of an absolute value function represent?

Back

The vertex of an absolute value function represents the minimum or maximum point of the graph, depending on the orientation. It is the point where the function changes direction.

Front

How do you find the domain of a function?

Back

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined. For polynomial functions, the domain is usually all real numbers, while for rational functions, it excludes values that make the denominator zero.

Front

What is the range of a function?

Back

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce based on its domain.

Front

How do you determine the zeros of a polynomial function?

Back

The zeros of a polynomial function are the values of x for which the function equals zero. They can be found by factoring the polynomial or using the quadratic formula for quadratic functions.

Front

What is the significance of the leading coefficient in a cubic function?

Back

The leading coefficient of a cubic function determines the end behavior of the graph. If it is positive, the graph rises to the right; if negative, it falls to the right.

What is the difference between domain and range?

Back

Domain refers to the set of all possible input values (x-values) for a function, while range refers to the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce.
