What is the domain of a function?

Back

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

What is the formula for a quadratic function?

Back

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

Evaluate f(t) = -2t^2 + 1 for f(2).

Back

f(2) = -2(2)^2 + 1 = -8 + 1 = -7.

What is an exponential function?

Back

An exponential function is a mathematical function of the form f(x) = a * b^x, where a is a constant, b is the base, and x is the exponent.

What is the vertical line test?

Back

The vertical line test is a method to determine if a curve is a function by checking if any vertical line intersects the curve at more than one point.
