Key Calculus Terms and definitions covered in this textbook
• Bounded above

A function is bounded above if there is a number B such that ƒ(x) ? B for all x in the domain of ƒ.

• Complements or complementary angles

Two angles of positive measure whose sum is 90°

• Constraints

See Linear programming problem.

• equation of a parabola

(x - h)2 = 4p(y - k) or (y - k)2 = 4p(x - h)

• Exponential regression

A procedure for fitting an exponential function to a set of data.

• Graph of an inequality in x and y

The set of all points in the coordinate plane corresponding to the solutions x, y of the inequality.

• Identity function

The function ƒ(x) = x.

• Inverse relation (of the relation R)

A relation that consists of all ordered pairs b, a for which a, b belongs to R.

• Limit to growth

See Logistic growth function.

• Product of complex numbers

(a + bi)(c + di) = (ac - bd) + (ad + bc)i

• Product of matrices A and B

The matrix in which each entry is obtained by multiplying the entries of a row of A by the corresponding entries of a column of B and then adding

The distance from a point on a circle (or a sphere) to the center of the circle (or the sphere).

• Rational function

Function of the form ƒ(x)/g(x) where ƒ(x) and g(x) are polynomials and g(x) is not the zero polynomial.

• Scientific notation

A positive number written as c x 10m, where 1 ? c < 10 and m is an integer.

• Semimajor axis

The distance from the center to a vertex of an ellipse.

• Solve an equation or inequality

To find all solutions of the equation or inequality

• Synthetic division

A procedure used to divide a polynomial by a linear factor, x - a

• Variation

See Power function.

• Vertical asymptote

The line x = a is a vertical asymptote of the graph of the function ƒ if limx:a+ ƒ1x2 = q or lim x:a- ƒ1x2 = q.

• Weighted mean

A mean calculated in such a way that some elements of the data set have higher weights (that is, are counted more strongly in determining the mean) than others.
