QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Relation - CORRECT ANSWER set of ordered pairs
Ordered pair - CORRECT ANSWER the x and y coordinates of a point on the
coordinate plane (x,y)
Coordinate plane - CORRECT ANSWER a plane formed by 2 perpendicular lines
called axes (the x-axis goes sided to side, the y-axis goes up and down).
Function - CORRECT ANSWER special relation where each x-value is paired with
ONLY ONE y-value. (x-values DO NOT repeat, it passes the vertical line test)
Table - CORRECT ANSWER A way to represent ordered pairs.
Domain - CORRECT ANSWER set of all of the possible x-values. INPUTS
Range - CORRECT ANSWER set of all the possible y-values. OUTPUTS
Variable - CORRECT ANSWER NOT A NUMBER. A letter or symbol that stands for
a number.
Independent variable - CORRECT ANSWER the INPUT or CAUSE in a situation or
problem. It's the variable YOU CAN control. It's the X variable.
Dependent variable - CORRECT ANSWER the OUTPUT or RESULT in a situation or
problem. It's the variable YOU CANNOT control. It's the Y variable. In a equation, its the
variable BY ITSELF on one side of the = sign.
, Other names for "x" - CORRECT ANSWER domain, independent variable, input
Other names for "y" - CORRECT ANSWER range, dependent variable, output
Vertical line test - CORRECT ANSWER a relation is a function and passes the vertical
line test if when a vertical line is drawn through the graph, it touches the graph only ONE
time.
Discrete function (scatter plot) - CORRECT ANSWER data appears as individual
points on a graph. Whatever is being graphed cannot be broken down in to smaller pieces.
Continuous function - CORRECT ANSWER data appears as a smooth curve on a
graph.
