What is a function?
Show answerA relation where each input has exactly one output
What is the domain of a function?
Show answerThe set of all possible input values
What is the range of a function?
Show answerThe set of all possible output values
What is a one-to-one (injective) function?
Show answerEach output value corresponds to exactly one input value
What is an onto (surjective) function?
Show answerThe range equals the codomain; every possible output is achieved
What is an inverse function?
Show answerA function that reverses another function, denoted f^-1(x), where f(f^-1(x)) = x
What is function composition?
Show answerApplying one function to the output of another, written (f o g)(x) = f(g(x))
What is an even function?
Show answerA function where f(-x) = f(x) for all x in the domain
What is an odd function?
Show answerA function where f(-x) = -f(x) for all x in the domain
What is a vertical asymptote?
Show answerA vertical line x = a that a function approaches but never reaches
What is a horizontal asymptote?
Show answerA horizontal line y = b that a function approaches as x approaches infinity
What is an oblique (slant) asymptote?
Show answerA line that a rational function approaches as x approaches infinity, neither vertical nor horizontal
On the unit circle, what does sine of an angle equal?
Show answerThe y-coordinate of the point on the unit circle at that angle
On the unit circle, what does cosine of an angle equal?
Show answerThe x-coordinate of the point on the unit circle at that angle
How is tangent defined in terms of sine and cosine?
Show answertan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x)
