Study Notes

Coordinate Plane

Formed by the intersection of horizontal (x-axis) and vertical (y-axis) number lines.

Axes

x-axis: The horizontal axis on a coordinate plane.
y-axis: The vertical axis on a coordinate plane.

Quadrants

The coordinate plane is divided into four regions, called quadrants, by the x-axis and y-axis.

Origin

The intersection point of the x-axis and y-axis, designated as (0,0).

Coordinates

Ordered pair: A set of numbers written in the form (x,y).
x-coordinate: The first number in an ordered pair, indicating horizontal placement.
y-coordinate: The second number in an ordered pair, indicating vertical placement.

Graph Types

Discrete graph: Consists of unconnected points.
Continuous graph: Represented by a line or smooth curve.

Relations and Functions

Relation: A collection of ordered pairs.
Domain: The set of all first elements (x-values) in a relation.
Range: The set of all second elements (y-values) in a relation.
Mapping: Illustrates the pairing between elements of domain and range.
Function: A special relation where each domain element corresponds to exactly one range element.

Function Notation

A systematic way to name a function defined by an equation.

Inputs and Outputs

Input: The value substituted for the x-value in a function.
Output: The result obtained after substituting an input value into a function.

Vertical Line Test

A method to determine if a relation is a function; if a vertical line intersects the graph at most once, it is classified as a function.

Zeros

Also known as x-intercepts, these points occur where the function's output (f(x)) equals zero.
