The function y = cot x

Equations (inequalities) that have the same solutions.

An equation written with exponents instead of logarithms.

Writing a polynomial as a product of two or more polynomial factors.

The terms of the Fibonacci sequence.

The line is a horizontal asymptote of the graph of a function ƒ if lim x:- q ƒ(x) = or lim x: q ƒ(x) = b

The function ƒ(x) = x.

A graph of a polar equation r = a b sin u or r = a b cos u with a > 0 b > 0

A measure that tells how widely distributed data are.

A function of the form ƒ(x) = k . x a, where k and a are nonzero constants. k is the constant of variation and a is the power.

A principle related to mathematical induction.

Computer-generated numbers that can be used to approximate true randomness in scientific studies. Since they depend on iterative computer algorithms, they are not truly random

The measure of an angle in radians, or, for a central angle, the ratio of the length of the intercepted arc tothe radius of the circle.

For an angle ? in standard position, a reference triangle is a triangle formed by the terminal side of angle ?, the x-axis, and a perpendicular dropped from a point on the terminal side to the x-axis. The angle in a reference triangle at the origin is the reference angle

The principle of experimental design that minimizes the effects of chance variation by repeating the experiment multiple times.

The limit of ƒ as x approaches a from the right.

A process for gathering data from a subset of a population, usually through direct questioning.

ƒ(x) = an x n + an-1x n-1 + Á + a1x + a0

ƒ(x + h) - ƒ(x - h) 2h

The function that associates points on the unit circle with points on the real number line
