Front

What is a pattern in a sequence?

Back

A pattern in a sequence is a consistent rule or formula that defines how the terms in the sequence are generated or related to each other.

Front

Define a function in mathematics.

Back

A function is a relation that assigns exactly one output for each input from a given set, often expressed as f(x).

Front

What does it mean for two functions to have equal slopes?

Back

If two functions have equal slopes, it means that they increase or decrease at the same rate, indicating they are parallel.

Front

How do you solve a compound inequality?

Back

To solve a compound inequality, solve each part separately and then find the intersection of the solutions.

Front

What is the graphical representation of a function?

Back

A graph represents a function if every vertical line intersects the graph at most once (Vertical Line Test).

Front

What is a sequence in mathematics?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the next terms in a geometric sequence?

Back

To find the next terms in a geometric sequence, multiply the last term by the common ratio.

Front

What is a compound inequality?

Back

A compound inequality combines two inequalities using 'and' or 'or' to express a range of values.

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a function?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph of a function crosses the y-axis, indicating the output when the input is zero.

Front

What is the difference between increasing and decreasing functions?

Back

An increasing function has a positive slope, meaning it rises as x increases, while a decreasing function has a negative slope, meaning it falls as x increases.
