Review Chapter 3 Test

The rate of change in a linear equation is the slope, which indicates how much the dependent variable (y) changes for a unit change in the independent variable (x).

Compare the slopes of the equations. The equation with the larger slope has a greater rate of change.

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.

It means that the function can accept any real number as an input.

A line of best fit is a straight line that best represents the data on a scatter plot, used to make predictions.

It helps to identify trends in data and make predictions based on those trends.

The initial value is the value of the function when the independent variable (x) is zero.

Evaluate both functions at x=0 and compare the resulting values.

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

The first term is the initial value of the sequence, often denoted as a1.
