Algebra 1 - Unit 9 Vocabulary

Asymptote

• notation in which the solution is represented by an inequality statement

• a line that is approached and may or may not be crossed

• set of output values for the dependent variable over which the function is defined

• an exponential function where 0 < b < 1 and as x increases, y decreases exponentially

Continuous Function

• function whose values are distinct and separate and not connected; values are not continuous

• an exponential function where b > 1 and as x increases, y increases exponentially

• an exponential function where 0 < b < 1 and as x increases, y decreases exponentially

• function whose values are continuous or unbroken over the specified domain

Discrete Function

• function whose values are distinct and separate and not connected; values are not continuous. Discrete functions are defined by their domain

• unction whose values are continuous or unbroken over the specified domain

• a line that is approached and may or may not be crossed

• horizontal line approached by the curve as the function approaches positive or negative infinity

Domain

• function whose values are continuous or unbroken over the specified domain

• set of input values for the independent variable over which the function is defined

• set of output values for the dependent variable over which the function is defined

• function whose values are distinct and separate and not connected; values are not continuous

Exponential Decay

• an exponential function where 0 < b < 1 and as x increases, y decreases exponentially

• notation in which the solution is represented by an inequality statement

• an exponential function where b > 1 and as x increases, y increases exponentially

• y coordinate of a point at which the relation crosses the y-axis, meaning the x coordinate equals zero

Exponential Growth

• an exponential function where 0 < b < 1 and as x increases, y decreases exponentially

• notation in which the solution is represented by an inequality statement

• an exponential function where b > 1 and as x increases, y increases exponentially

• y coordinate of a point at which the relation crosses the y-axis, meaning the x coordinate equals zero

Horizontal Asymptote
