| A | B |
|---|
| QUADRATIC EQUATION | AN EQUATION IN WHICH THE HIGHEST POWER OF AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY IS A SQUARE |
| ROOTS | SOLUTIONS TO A QUADRATIC EQUATION |
| ZEROS | THE ROOTS OF A QUADRATIC EQUATION , OR THE POINTS WHERE THE GRAPH CORSSES THE X - AXIS AT Y = 0 |
| LINEAR EQUATION | AN ALGEBRAIC EQUATION , SUCH AS Y = 4X + 3 , IN WHICH THE VARIABLES ARE OF THE FIRST DEGREE ( THAT IS , RAISED ONLY TO THE FIRST POWER ) . THE GRAPH OF SUCH AN EQUATION IS A STRAIGHT LINE |
| SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM | Y = MX + B , WHERE THE SLOPE = M AND THE Y INTERCEPT = B . YOU CAN USE THE SLOPE AND THE Y INTERCEPT TO PLOT AT LEAT THREE POINTS THAT ARE SOLUTIONS TO A LINEAR EQUATION |
| SYSTEM OF LINEAR EQUATIONS | CONSISTS OF TWO OR MORE LINEAR EQUATIONS |
| SOLUTION OF A SYSTEM OF TWO EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES | AN ORDERED PAIR OF NUMBERS THAT IS A SOLUTION OF BOTH EQUATIONS IN THE SYSTEM . THE SOLUTION TO THE SYSTEM IS ANY POINT WHERE THE TWO LINE INTERSECT ON A GRAPH AND THIS COULD RESULT IN MANY SOLUTIONS , ONE SOLUTION , OR NO SOLUTIONS |
| CONSISTENT SYSTEM | A SOLUTION OF A SYSTEM THAT HAS EXACTLY ONE SOLUTION = THE LINES INTERSECT AT ONE POINT AND THE LINES HAVE DIFFERENT SLOPES |
| INCONSISTENT SYSTEM | A SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS THAT HAS NO SOLUTION . THE GRAPHS OF THE EQUATIONS ARE PARALLEL AND DO NOT TOUCH = THEY HAVE THE SAME SLOPE BUT HAVE DIFFERENT Y - INTERCEPTS |
| DEPENDENT SYSTEM | THIS SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS HAS AN INFINITE NUMBER OF SOLUTIONS . THE GRAPHS OF THE LINES COINCIDE , MEANING THAT THEY WILL BE EXACTLY THE SAME , HAVING THE SAME SLOPES AND THE SAME Y - INTERCEPT |
