How to tell when a function is increasing or decreasing?
Front
Always read a graph from left to right, just like the words on a page. If it goes up, it is increasing. If it goes down, it is decreasing.

Back
How do you combine like terms?

what is the x-intercept?
Front
the point where the graph crosses the x-axis. It has the coordinates (x, 0)
Back
continuous function

Maximum is at the highest point of a parabola.
Minimum is the lowest point.

Axis of Symmetry
Front
The equations x=0 is the axis of symmetry for a parabola in standard form.

function
Front
special relation where each x-value is paired with ONLY ONE y-value. (x-values DO NOT repeat, it passes the vertical line test)
Back
How many solutions can a system with 2 equations have?
Front
1) no solutions, if the lines are parallel and have the same slope. 2) one solution, if the lines intersect at one point. 3) infinite many solutions, if the two equations are the same and touch each other everywhere.
