ƒ(x 1) = ƒ(x 2) x for any x1 and x2 (in the interval)

The largest exponent on the variable in any of the terms of the polynomial (function)

The number of individuals or observations with a certain characteristic.

y = b.

A function ƒ is increasing on an interval I if, for any two points in I, a positive change in x results in a positive change in.

See Summation notation.

A statement that compares two quantities using an inequality symbol

A function whose domain is the set of all natural numbers.

The instantaneous rate of change of a position function with respect to time, p. 737.

See Linear regression line.

An expression au + bv , where a and b are real numbers

A calculator approximation to ?ab ƒ(x)dx

The graph of a quadratic function, or the set of points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point (the focus) and a fixed line (the directrix).

The process of expanding a fraction into a sum of fractions. The sum is called the partial fraction decomposition of the original fraction.
