What is the definition of a linear function?

Back

Front

Identify the characteristics of a function.

Back

A function is a relation that assigns exactly one output for each input. It passes the vertical line test, meaning no vertical line intersects the graph more than once.

Front

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

What is the formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence?

Front

What is the difference between an arithmetic sequence and a geometric sequence?

Back

An arithmetic sequence is formed by adding a constant difference to each term, while a geometric sequence is formed by multiplying each term by a constant ratio.

Front

What does the slope of a line represent in a linear function?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of the function. It indicates how much the y-value changes for a unit change in the x-value.

What is the y-intercept of a linear function?

Front

How do you determine if a relation is a function using the vertical line test?

Back

If any vertical line drawn on the graph intersects the graph at more than one point, the relation is not a function.
