- 4. monomials that have the same variables to the exact same degree
- 7. the ______ __ _______ of a parabola opening up and down is the vertical line through the vertex
- 8. a function where there are y values that have more than one x value mapped to it
- 10. if every y value for a function has exactly one x value mapped to it
- 11. the composition of functions f and g, (f(g(x)) uses the output of g(x) as the input for f(x). Used to mathematically show that two functions are inverses
- 13. the inverse of a relation consisting of all ordered pairs (x, y) is the set of all ordered pairs (y, x). The graph of the ________ _________ is the reflection of the graph of the relation across the line y=x
- 14. the number that relates two variables that are directly proportional or inversely proportional to one another
- 16. a function of the form f(x)=b^x, where b is a positive constant other than 1 and the exponent is a variable. There is not a single parent exponential function because each choice of the base b determines a different parent function.
