What is the Pythagorean theorem and how is it used?
Differentiate between a function and a relation in mathematics.
What is an inverse function and how is it found?
What is the difference between a permutation and a combination?
Define the term "limit" in calculus and how it is used to calculate derivatives.
Answer Key:
The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. It is often used to solve for missing sides in right triangles.
A function is a set of ordered pairs where each input (the first element of the pair) corresponds to exactly one output (the second element of the pair). A relation is any set of ordered pairs, whether or not each input corresponds to only one output.
An inverse function is a function that "undoes" another function. To find the inverse function of a given function, switch the x and y variables and solve for y.
A permutation is an arrangement of objects where the order matters. A combination is an arrangement of objects where the order does not matter. The formula for permutations is n!/(n-r)!, where n is the total number of objects and r is the number of objects being arranged in the permutation. The formula for combinations is n!/r!(n-r)!, where n and r have the same meanings as in permutations.
A limit is the value that a function approaches as the input approaches a certain value. It is used to calculate derivatives by finding the slope of the tangent line to the function at a given point. The limit of the function at that point is equal to the slope of the tangent line.
