What is the equation of a line in point-slope form?

Back

The equation of a line in point-slope form is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

What is a polynomial?

Back

A polynomial is a mathematical expression consisting of variables, coefficients, and non-negative integer exponents, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

Front

What is a cubic polynomial?

Back

A cubic polynomial is a polynomial of degree three, which means the highest exponent of the variable is three.

Front

What is a binomial?

Back

A binomial is a polynomial that contains exactly two terms.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept of a line?

Back

The y-intercept of a line is found by setting x = 0 in the equation of the line and solving for y.

Front

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers, and A should be non-negative.

Front

What does it mean to simplify an expression?

Back

To simplify an expression means to combine like terms and reduce it to its simplest form.

Front

What is the value of g(x) = ax² + bx + c at x = k?

Back

To find g(k), substitute k into the function: g(k) = ak² + bk + c.

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise/run).

Front

What is the difference between a monomial and a polynomial?

Back

A monomial is a polynomial with only one term, while a polynomial can have multiple terms.
