compression
transformation that moves each point of a graph closer to the - or -axis by a scale factor that is between zero and 1
constant function
function with all the same output values
decreasing function
function in which the -values decrease as the -values increase
domain of a function
set of the first coordinates of the ordered pairs in a function
domain of a relation
set of the first coordinates of the ordered pairs in a relation
even function
function with a graph that is symmetric with respect to the -axis
function
relation in which each element of the domain corresponds to exactly one element of the range
global maximum
point where the value of a function is greatest
global minimum
point where the value of a function is least
increasing function
function in which the -values increase as the -values increase
input
value in the domain of a function
local maximum
turning point where a graph changes from increasing to decreasing
local minimum
turning point where a graph changes from decreasing to increasing
maximum value
greatest value in the range of a function
minimum value
least value in the range of a function
odd function
function with a graph that is symmetric with respect to the origin
output
value in the range of a function
parent function
function from a certain category of functions with the simplest algebraic rule
piecewise function
function that has different rules applied to different intervals in the domain
range of a function
set of the second coordinates of the ordered pairs in a function
range of a relation
set of the second coordinates of the ordered pairs in a relation
reflection
transformation in which a graph is flipped across a line
relation
set of ordered pairs
stretch
transformation that moves each point of a graph farther away from the - or -axis by a scale factor that is greater than 1
transformation
change of the graph of a function
translation
transformation in which a graph is moved vertically or horizontally
turning point
point where a graph changes from increasing to decreasing or from decreasing to increasing
vertical line test
test that uses vertical lines on a graph to determine whether a relation is a function. If any vertical line intersects the graph in more than one point, the graph does not represent a function.
