What is Exponential Growth?

Back

Exponential Growth occurs when a quantity increases by a consistent percentage over a period of time, resulting in a rapid increase. Example: Population growth.

Front

What is Exponential Decay?

Back

Exponential Decay occurs when a quantity decreases by a consistent percentage over a period of time, leading to a rapid decrease. Example: Radioactive decay.

What is a Linear Function?

Back

A Linear Function is a function that graphs to a straight line, represented by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What does f(0) represent in a function?

Back

f(0) represents the value of the function when the input (x) is 0, often indicating the y-intercept of the graph.

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a graph?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis, indicating the value of the function when x = 0.

Front

What does it mean for a graph to have a minimum value?

Back

A graph has a minimum value when it reaches its lowest point, indicating the smallest output value of the function.

Front

What does it mean for a graph to have a maximum value?

Back

A graph has a maximum value when it reaches its highest point, indicating the largest output value of the function.

Front

What is the solution set of a graph?

Back

The solution set of a graph consists of all the points (x, y) that satisfy the equation represented by the graph.

Front

What is the difference between 'greater than' and 'less than' inequalities?

Back

'Greater than' (>) indicates values above a certain point, while 'less than' (<) indicates values below a certain point.

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, calculated as the rise over run.
