The distance between real numbers a and b, or |a - b|

A statement that describes a bounded interval, such as 3 ? x < 5

Decay modeled by ƒ(x) = a ? bx, a > 0 with 0 < b < 1.

The length of the chord through the focus and perpendicular to the axis.

A series whose terms form a geometric sequence.

A polynomial function whose degree is ? 3

Using the science of statistics to make inferences about the parameters in a population from a sample.

Arc of a circle between the initial side and terminal side of a central angle.

The difference between the third quartile and the first quartile.

A scatter plot with points clustered along a line. Correlation is positive if the slope is positive and negative if the slope is negative

A polynomial ƒ(x) of degree n > 0 has the factorization ƒ(x) = a(x1 - z1) 1x - i z 22 Á 1x - z n where the z1 are the zeros of ƒ

An inequality that can be written in one of the following forms: y 6 mx + b, y … mx + b, y 7 mx + b, or y Ú mx + b with m Z 0

The inverse of the exponential function y = bx, denoted by y = logb x

A principle used to find the number of ways an event can occur.

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 closest point to the Sun in a planet’s orbit.

See Circle graph.

Real numbers shown to the right of the origin on a number line.

Use an algebraic method, including paper and pencil manipulation and obvious mental work, with no calculator or grapher use. When appropriate, the final exact solution may be approximated by a calculator

(ƒ + g)(x) = ƒ(x) + g(x)
