Mathematical Concepts: Target F

Front

Function

Back

A relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs, typically represented by a graph or equation.

Front

Slope

Back

The measure of the steepness or incline of a line, often represented as 'm' in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

Y-intercept

Back

The point where a line crosses the y-axis in a graph, represented as 'b' in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

Linear

Back

A type of function or equation where the graph is a straight line, typically in the form y = mx + b.

Front

Nonlinear

Back

A type of function or equation where the graph is not a straight line, such as quadratic or exponential functions.

Front

Rate of Change

Back

The ratio that describes how one quantity changes in relation to another, often represented as the slope in linear functions.

Front

Increasing

Back

A function or sequence that rises as it progresses, meaning the output values get larger as the input values increase.

Front

Decreasing

Back

A function or sequence that falls as it progresses, meaning the output values get smaller as the input values increase.

Front

Constant

Back

A function or sequence where the output value does not change, regardless of the input value.

Front

Interval

Back

A range of values, often used to describe a portion of the domain or range of a function.
