Review for Unit 1 Flashcard 1 M1CP 25/26

Front

What is a continuous function?

Back

A continuous function is a type of function where small changes in the input result in small changes in the output, and it can be graphed without lifting the pencil from the paper.

Front

What is a discrete function?

Back

A discrete function is a type of function where the input values are distinct and separate, often represented by individual points on a graph.

Front

What is the dependent variable in a relationship?

Back

The dependent variable is the variable that depends on the value of another variable. In the context of Dalton's babysitting, the amount of money earned (m) is dependent on the number of hours babysat (h).

Front

What is the independent variable in a relationship?

Back

The independent variable is the variable that is manipulated or changed in an experiment. In Paco's daughter's case, the number of dances (d) is independent of the number of costumes (c).

Front

What is a line of symmetry?

Back

A line of symmetry is a line that divides a shape into two identical parts that are mirror images of each other.

Front

How can you identify a continuous data set?

Back

A continuous data set can be identified by the presence of data that can take any value within a given range, such as height, weight, or temperature.

Front

How can you identify a discrete data set?

Back

A discrete data set can be identified by the presence of data that can only take specific, separate values, such as the number of students in a class or the number of cars in a parking lot.

Front

What is the relationship between independent and dependent variables?

Back

The independent variable is the cause or input that affects the dependent variable, which is the effect or output.

Front

What does it mean for a function to be linear?

Back

A linear function is a function that graphs to a straight line, indicating a constant rate of change between the variables.

Front

What is the formula for a linear function?

Back

The formula for a linear function is typically written as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
