8. Point on a graph where the concavity changes from upward to downward or downward to upward
11. Function defined by the x-value on the unit circle
14. A line or curve that intersects another curve without crossing the curve
15. highest point on a graph

1. Function defined by the ratio of the y-value to the x-value on the unit circle
3. A function is considered - if its graph has no gaps, no holes, no steps, and no cusps or discontinuities
4. Rate of change between points
5. Limit used to define the slope of a tangent line
6. Characteristic of a graph curving upward or curving downward
7. Function defined by the y-value on the unit circle
9. Without bound; limitless.
10. A line (or curve) that a function approaches without actually reaching the line as the domain either grows unbounded or approaches a limit
12. Lowest point on a graph
13. When a function value becomes arbitrarily close to a single number as the x-value approaches c from either side
