Question Answer
Algebraic Expression A combination of variables, numbers, and operations (like +, −, ×, ÷) that does not include an equals sign. Example: 3x+23x + 2.
Variable A symbol (usually a letter) that represents an unknown or changeable value. Example: xx, yy.
Term A single part of an expression or equation, made up of numbers and/or variables.
Power An expression that represents repeated multiplication of the same factor.
Coefficient The numerical factor of a term that contains a variable.
Equation A mathematical statement that two expressions are equal, using an equals sign. Example: 2x+3=72x + 3 = 7.
Solution A value (or set of values) that makes an equation or inequality true.
Identity An equation that is true for all values of the variable(s). Example: x+0=xx + 0 = x.
Relation A set of ordered pairs, showing how elements from one set are connected to elements of another. Can be represented as a table, graph, or equation.
Domain The set of all possible input values (usually xx) for a function or relation.
Range The set of all possible output values (usually yy) for a function or relation.
Independent Variable The variable that you control or choose; it determines the value of the dependent variable. Usually xx.
Dependent Variable The variable that depends on the independent variable. Usually yy.
Function A relation in which each input has exactly one output. Example: f(x)=x2f(x) = x^2.
Intercept The point where a graph crosses the axes.
Line Symmetry A property where one half of a graph is a mirror image of the other across a line (often the y-axis or x-axis).
End Behavior Describes what happens to the values of a function as xx approaches positive or negative infinity. Example: Does the graph rise or fall at the ends?
