Constant Function
A function where every input yields the same output value, represented by a horizontal line on the graph.
Identity Function
A function where the output equals the input for all real numbers, forming a straight line through the origin.
Square Function
A function where each input is raised to the second power, producing a parabola opening upwards.
Cube Function
A function where each input is raised to the third power, resulting in a curve extending in all directions.
Square Root Function
A function defined only for non-negative inputs, producing outputs from zero to positive infinity.
Cube Root Function
A function that allows all real inputs, including negatives, and outputs all real numbers.
Domain
The complete set of possible input values for a function, often described using intervals.
Range
The set of all possible output values a function can produce, determined by the function's rule.
Parabola
A symmetric, bowl-shaped curve representing the graph of a quadratic function.
Real Numbers
All numbers on the continuous number line, including negatives, zero, and positives.
Horizontal Line
A straight line with constant y-value, representing the graph of a constant function.
Origin
The point (0,0) on a coordinate plane where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.
Quadratic Function
A function where the highest power of the variable is two, typically forming a parabola.
Interval Notation
A mathematical notation used to describe the domain or range of a function using brackets and parentheses.
Graph
A visual representation of a function, showing the relationship between input and output values.
