Flashcardizz: SAT Quadratic and Linear Functions

Front

What is a polynomial function?

Back

A polynomial function is a mathematical expression that involves variables raised to whole number powers, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

Front

What are the zeros of a function?

Back

The zeros of a function are the values of the variable that make the function equal to zero.

Front

What does the range of a function represent?

Back

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce.

Front

What does it mean if a function has one solution?

Back

It means that there is exactly one point where the graphs of the equations intersect.

Front

What does it mean if a function has two solutions?

Back

It means that there are two points where the graphs of the equations intersect.

Front

What is the initial height in a height function?

Back

The initial height is the height of the object at the start of the observation, usually represented by the constant term in the function.

Front

What is a scatterplot?

Back

A scatterplot is a graph that shows the relationship between two variables by displaying data points on a two-dimensional plane.

Front

What does it mean if two variables are related?

Back

It means that changes in one variable are associated with changes in the other variable.

Front

What is a linear function?

Back

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

Front

What is a quadratic function?

Back

A quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree 2, typically in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c.
