Study Notes
Algebraic Functions
-
Radical Functions: Uses a square root in its structure.
-
Linear Functions: Represents equations that graph as straight lines, indicating a constant rate of change.
-
Quadratic Functions: Characterized by an exponent that is typically squared, forming a parabolic shape when graphed.
-
Absolute Value Functions: Always yields a positive output (Y value), representing the distance of a number from zero on the number line.
-
Exponential Functions: Features an exponent as the variable, creates curves that approach but never touch the horizontal axis (Y=0).
-
Independent Variable: Stands alone and isn't influenced by other variables in the equation (commonly represented as X).
-
Dependent Variable: Changes in response to the independent variable, signifying its reliance on the input value.
-
Literal Equations: Equations that involve letters representing variables, often used to denote relationships in various contexts without specific numeric values.
