5357221394 | COMPRESS | A term used informally to describe the relationship of a graph to its parent graph when the graph increases or decreases more slowly than the parent. | 0 | |
5357221395 | DILATION | A transformation which vertically compresses or stretches the graph of a function. | 1 | |
5357221396 | DOMAIN | The set of all input values for a relation or function. | 2 | |
5357221397 | EVEN FUNCTION | A function where f(−x) = f(x) for all values of x defined for the function. The graph of the function will be symmetric about the y-axis. | 3 | |
5357221398 | FUNCTION | A relationship in which for each input value there is one and only one output value | 4 | |
5357221399 | GENERAL EQUATION | If y = f(x) is a parent equation, then the general equation for that function is given by y = af(x − h) + k where (h, k) is the point corresponding to (0, 0) in the parent graph. | 5 | |
5357221400 | GRAPHING FORM | A form of the equation of a function or relation that clearly shows key information about the graph. | 6 | |
5357221401 | HORIZONTAL SHIFT | Used with parent graphs and general equations for functions and relations such as y = a(x − h)2 + k. | 7 | |
5357221402 | ODD FUNCTION | A function where f(−x) = −f(x) for all values of x defined for the function. The graph of the function will be symmetric about the origin. | 8 | |
5357221403 | PARAMETER | In a general equations where x and y represent the inputs and outputs of the function, variables such as a, b, c, m, h, and k are often referred to as parameters, and they are often replaced with specific values. | 9 | |
5357221404 | PARENT GRAPH | The simplest version of a family of graphs. | 10 | |
5357221405 | PIECEWISE FUNCTION | A function composed of parts of two or more | 11 | |
5357221406 | RANGE | All possible outputs for a function. | 12 | |
5357221407 | REFLECTION | A type of symmetry where one half of the image is a reflection across a line of the other half of the image. You can fold the image on the line of symmetry and have both halves match exactly. | 13 | |
5357221408 | STANDARD FORM (QUADRATIC) | the equation of a quadratic function is y = ax2 + bx + c where a ≠ 0. | 14 | |
5357221409 | STRETCH FACTOR | Used to describe the effect of a in the graphing form of a quadratic, cubic, absolute value, or exponential function. | 15 | |
5357221410 | TRANSFORMATION | The conversion of a function to a corresponding function. | 16 | |
5357221411 | TRANSLATION | The result of moving a graph horizontally, vertically, or both but without changing its orientation. | 17 | |
5357221412 | VARIABLE | A symbol used to represent one or more numbers. | 18 | |
5357221413 | VERTEX | the highest or lowest point on the parabola (depending on the parabola's orientation). | 19 | |
5357221414 | VERTICAL SHIFT | Used to describe the location of a graph in relation to its parent graph, the shift is the distance (up or down) of each point on the graph from the corresponding point on the parent graph. | 20 |
