What is the degree of a polynomial function?

Back

The degree of a polynomial function is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial. It determines the function's end behavior.

Front

What is a leading coefficient?

Back

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree in a polynomial. It influences the direction of the graph as x approaches positive or negative infinity.

Front

What does it mean for a function to be even?

Back

A function is even if its graph is symmetric about the y-axis, which means that f(x) = f(-x) for all x in the domain.

Front

What does it mean for a function to be odd?

Back

A function is odd if its graph is symmetric about the origin, which means that f(-x) = -f(x) for all x in the domain.

Front

How do you perform synthetic division?

Back

Synthetic division is a simplified form of polynomial long division. It involves using the coefficients of the polynomial and a root of the divisor to divide the polynomial.

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.

Front

What is an asymptote?

Back

An asymptote is a line that a graph approaches but never touches. It can be vertical, horizontal, or oblique.

Front

How do you find the vertical asymptote of a rational function?

Back

To find the vertical asymptote, set the denominator of the rational function equal to zero and solve for x.

Front

What is a logarithmic function?

Back

A logarithmic function is the inverse of an exponential function. It is written as f(x) = log_b(x), where b is the base.

Front

What does it mean to translate a function?

Back

Translating a function means shifting its graph horizontally and/or vertically without changing its shape.
