What is function rule?Functions, Domain, and Range
An input-output rule with one output per input.
Can distinct inputs share an output?Functions, Domain, and Range
Yes; the restriction is on multiple outputs for one input.
What is domain restrictions?Functions, Domain, and Range
The set of permitted input values.
What excludes a value from a rational domain?Functions, Domain, and Range
Making the original denominator zero.
What is range and graph reading?Functions, Domain, and Range
The set of attained output values.
Why state the domain before finding range?Functions, Domain, and Range
Changing allowed inputs can change available outputs.
What is parent functions?Parent Functions and Transformations
A basic family graph before transformations.
Why compare with a parent graph?Parent Functions and Transformations
It makes shifts, reflections, and stretches easier to identify.
What is horizontal and vertical shifts?Parent Functions and Transformations
Translations of a graph along coordinate axes.
Why does x−h move right?Parent Functions and Transformations
The old reference input zero occurs at x=h.
What is reflections and stretches?Parent Functions and Transformations
Changing output signs or magnitudes in a function graph.
Does an outside negative shift the vertex horizontally?Parent Functions and Transformations
No, it reflects the output direction.
What is composition order?Composition and Inverse Relationships
Using one function output as another input.
Why check both domains?Composition and Inverse Relationships
The first output must be accepted by the second function.
What is inverse relation?Composition and Inverse Relationships
The relation obtained by exchanging inputs and outputs.
When is the inverse itself a function?Composition and Inverse Relationships
When the original function is one-to-one on its domain.
What is one-to-one check?Composition and Inverse Relationships
A rule in which distinct inputs have distinct outputs.
Why restrict a quadratic domain to invert it?Composition and Inverse Relationships
A full parabola usually repeats outputs on two sides of its vertex.
What is quadratic shift?Transformations and Modeling with Quadratics
The location changes in a transformed parabola.
Which coordinate does k control?Transformations and Modeling with Quadratics
The vertex output or vertical shift.
What is feasible vertex?Transformations and Modeling with Quadratics
A vertex checked against practical input restrictions.
Why inspect domain endpoints?Transformations and Modeling with Quadratics
A restricted interval may place its optimum at an edge.
What is units in a model?Transformations and Modeling with Quadratics
Interpreting coordinates and units in a quadratic application.
Can a negative elapsed time fit a launch model?Transformations and Modeling with Quadratics
Not when time starts at the launch event.
