What is a linear function?

Back

A linear function is a function that graphs to a straight line. It can be expressed in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0. It is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

How do you find the equation of a line given a point and the slope?

Back

Use the point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is the point and m is the slope.

Front

What is a quadratic function?

Back

A quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree 2, typically in the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants.

Front

What is the vertex of a parabola?

Back

The vertex is the highest or lowest point of the parabola, depending on its orientation. For the function h(t) = -t^2 + 16t + 936, the vertex represents the maximum height of the lava.

Front

How do you determine the maximum height of a quadratic function?

Back

The maximum height can be found using the formula t = -b/(2a) for the vertex, where a and b are coefficients from the quadratic equation.

Front

What is the difference between a linear and a quadratic function?

Back

A linear function graphs to a straight line, while a quadratic function graphs to a parabola.

Front

What is a sequence in mathematics?

Back

A sequence is an ordered list of numbers that follow a specific pattern or rule.

Front

How do you find the nth term of an arithmetic sequence?

Back

The nth term can be found using the formula a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d, where a_1 is the first term and d is the common difference.
