Across
- 6. circle used to
- 8. describes two vectors which are perpendicular to one another.
- 9. the set of coplanar points such that the sum of the distances from each point to two distinct coplanar points (called the foci) is constant.
- 11. the line segment (whose ends are vertices) which passes through the foci of an ellipse.
- 12. a shortcut alternative to long division, which uses only the coefficients of the divisor and dividend; it is only applicable if the divisor is linear.
- 15. the length of a vector
- 16. vector with magnitude 1.
- 18. the value by which the graph of a trigonometric function such as sine or cosine is stretched; the amplitude is always a positive value.
- 19. double of radius
- 20. half of diameter
Down
- 1. trigonometric function pairs which differ only in the presence or absence of the prefix "co," such as sine and cosine.
- 2. e=c/a
- 3. always positive
- 4. a rectangular collection of numbers, arranged in rows and columns, surrounded by a single set of brackets on either side.
- 5. a set of coplanar points equidistant from a fixed point (the focus) and a fixed line (the directrix).
- 7. an acute angle that helps calculate trigonometric function values of an oblique angle.
- 10. the line segment, perpendicular to the major axis, which passes through the center of an ellipse and has endpoints on the ellipse.
- 13. functions such that f (−x) = −f (x)
- 14. the segment perpendicular to the transverse axis at a hyperbola's center.
- 17. a term used to describe a function for which every output has only one corresponding input. Only one-to-one functions have inverses.
