What is a geometric sequence?

Back

A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous term by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.

Front

How do you find the nth term of a geometric sequence?

Back

To find the nth term of a geometric sequence, use the formula: a_n = a_1 * r^(n-1), where a_n is the nth term, a_1 is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the term number.

Front

What is exponential growth?

Back

Exponential growth occurs when a quantity increases by a consistent percentage over a period of time, resulting in a rapid increase.

Front

What is exponential decay?

Back

Exponential decay occurs when a quantity decreases by a consistent percentage over a period of time, leading to a rapid decrease.

Front

What is a linear function?

Back

A linear function is a function that graphs to a straight line, represented by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

How can you identify a linear graph?

Back

A linear graph can be identified by its straight line, which indicates a constant rate of change.

Front

What does it mean for a function to be increasing?

Back

A function is increasing on an interval if, as x increases, the value of f(x) also increases.

Front

What does it mean for a function to be decreasing?

Back

A function is decreasing on an interval if, as x increases, the value of f(x) decreases.

Front

What is a transformation in mathematics?

Back

A transformation is an operation that moves or changes a shape in some way, such as translation, rotation, reflection, or dilation.

Front

What is a vertical translation?

Back

A vertical translation moves a graph up or down without changing its shape.
