⩥ coefficient of determination.
Answer: A statistic that measures how well a regression prediction
approximates the real data points. An r^2 of 1 indicates that the
regression prediction is a perfect fit for the data
⩥ common ratio.
Answer: The number by which each term in a sequence is multiplied to
find the next number in the sequence; for example 4 is the common ratio
for the sequence [1, 4, 16, 64, 256...]
⩥ Constant ratio.
Answer: Occurs when the numeric relationship between two quantities-
that is, how many times one number contains the second- remains
unchanged over time
⩥ Data regression.
Answer: The process of examining data points to determine a valid
equation. "Regression" refers to bringing different data points down
toward a normal average- "regressing" them
, ⩥ equation.
Answer: A mathematical sentence that contains an equals sign.
⩥ explanatory variable.
Answer: A variable that, as it changes, affects another variable (called
the response variable); for example, as a person pumps more gas into a
car's tank(the explanatory variable), the cost of the purchase rises (the
response variable)
⩥ exponent.
Answer: A mathematical notation indicating the number of times a
quantity is multiplied by itself.
⩥ exponential function.
Answer: a function of the form f(x) = ab^x, where a and b are real
numbers with a ≠ 0, b>0, and b ≠ 1
⩥ extrapolation.
Answer: the act of estimation by projecting known information
⩥ f(x)=mx+b.
Answer: linear function
