FOM1 Unit 3 Practice

Front

What is a minimum value in a graph?

Back

The minimum value of a graph is the lowest point on the graph, representing the smallest output value of the function.

Front

How do you identify the minimum coordinate of a graph?

Back

The minimum coordinate is the point on the graph where the function reaches its lowest value, typically represented as (x, y).

Front

What does the term 'x-intercept' mean?

Back

The x-intercept is the point(s) where the graph intersects the x-axis, meaning the output value (y) is zero.

Front

How do you determine the increasing interval of a function?

Back

The increasing interval is the range of x-values where the function's output (y) is rising as x increases.

Front

What is the significance of a graph's maximum value?

Back

The maximum value is the highest point on the graph, representing the largest output value of the function.

Front

What does it mean for a graph to be decreasing?

Back

A graph is decreasing when the output value (y) falls as the input value (x) increases.

Front

How can you find the minimum value of a quadratic function?

Back

For a quadratic function in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c, the minimum value occurs at the vertex, calculated using x = -b/(2a).

Front

What is the vertex of a parabola?

Back

The vertex is the highest or lowest point of a parabola, depending on its orientation (upward or downward).

Front

What is the difference between a minimum and a maximum in a function?

Back

A minimum is the lowest point on the graph, while a maximum is the highest point.

Front

How do you represent an interval in mathematical notation?

Back

Intervals are represented using parentheses for open intervals (not including endpoints) and brackets for closed intervals (including endpoints).
