◉ Function.
Answer: A given input, sent through the function, produces a given
output. f(x) = y
a -> f -> b
Multiple inputs can ONLY produce ONE output
◉ Perfect Square.
Answer: In a polynomial expression, two numbers that add to equal the
ax term and multiply to equal the b term.
x(squared) + ax + b
◉ Completing the Square.
Answer: In x (squared) + ax + b, where b is unknown, find b by taking
half of a and squaring that answer. Add b to the opposite side of the
equation so that it stays equivalent.
◉ Alternative to Completing the Square.
, Answer: In x(squared) + ax = y, move y over to the left hand side:
x(squared) + ax + y = 0. Then complete the square.
◉ x ^ -y = 1/x^y.
Answer: A base raised to a negative exponent equals 1 divided by the
base raised to the positive exponent.
◉ x^a * x^b = x^[a+b].
Answer: When multiplying numbers WITH THE SAME BASE raised to
a power, just add the powers together.
◉ x^a * y^a = (xy)^a.
Answer: When multiplying different numbers but are raised to the
SAME POWER, then just multiply the bases together.
◉ Root Indicator.
Answer: If there is a number on the outside of a square root symbol, that
represents how many numbers should be multiplied to equal the number
under the square root symbol.
◉ Fractional Exponents.
Answer: The denominator becomes the value to which you take the root,
and the numerator becomes the exponent to which you take the number
under the root sign.
