Q

What determines the domain of a function?

A

The domain is determined by the values that do not cause division by zero or result in taking the square root of a negative number, among other considerations.

Q

What is the formula for exponential growth?

A

The formula for exponential growth is y = a(1 + r)^t, where ‘y’ is the final amount, ‘a’ is the initial amount, ‘r’ is the growth rate, and ‘t’ is time.

17
Q

True or False: Exponential decay occurs when a quantity decreases by a consistent percentage over equal time intervals.

18
Q

Fill in the blank: In exponential decay, the formula is y = a(1 - r)^t, where ‘r’ represents the _____ rate.

19
Q

What is the key characteristic of exponential functions compared to linear functions?

A

Exponential functions grow or decay at a rate proportional to their current value, while linear functions grow or decay at a constant rate.

20
Q

Multiple Choice: Which of the following is an example of exponential growth? A) Population increase, B) Temperature change, C) Linear distance, D) Constant speed.

A

A) Population increase

21
Q

What is the first step in solving the equation 2x + 3 = 11?

A

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

22
Q

True or False: To isolate a variable, you can perform the same operation on both sides of the equation.

23
Q

Fill in the blank: In the equation 5x - 7 = 18, the value of x can be found by first _____ both sides by 5.

24
Q

What does it mean to ‘solve for x’ in an equation?

A

It means to find the value of x that makes the equation true.

25
Which of the following equations has x isolated? a) 3x = 12 b) 4 + x = 10 c) 2x + 5 = 20 d) None of the above
a) 3x = 12
26
What is the vertex of a parabola?
The vertex of a parabola is the point where the curve changes direction, representing either the maximum or minimum point of the parabola.
27
True or False: The vertex of a parabola can be found using the formula x = -b/(2a) for the standard form y = ax^2 + bx + c.
True
28
Fill in the blank: The vertex form of a parabola is expressed as y = a(x - h)² + k, where (h, k) represents the ______.
vertex
29
In the equation y = 2(x - 3)² + 4, what are the coordinates of the vertex?
(3, 4)
30
What is the significance of the vertex in relation to the axis of symmetry of a parabola?
The vertex lies on the axis of symmetry, which divides the parabola into two mirror-image halves.
