What does it mean for a function to be decreasing?

Back

A function is decreasing on an interval if, as the input values increase, the output values decrease.

Front

What is a graph?

Back

A graph is a visual representation of data that shows the relationship between two or more variables.

What does it mean for a population to grow at a constant rate?

Back

It means that the population increases by the same amount in each time period.

Front

What is a linear rate of growth?

Back

A linear rate of growth means that the population increases by a fixed amount over equal intervals of time.

Front

What does it mean for a population to not change for a while?

Back

It means that the population remains constant and does not increase or decrease during that time period.

Front

What is an interval in the context of a graph?

Back

An interval is a range of values on the x-axis (time) over which a certain behavior of the function is observed.

Front

How can you identify when a function is increasing on a graph?

Back

A function is increasing on a graph when the output values rise as the input values increase.

Front

What does it mean for a function to have a constant elevation?

Back

Constant elevation means that the output value does not change over a specific interval of input values.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is a population growth curve?

Back

A population growth curve is a graph that shows how a population changes over time, often depicting phases of growth, stability, and decline.
