What's Coming Up!

  • MATH REGENTS RESOURCES -- GET YOUR STUDY ON!!

    As we approach the Regents exams, you need to spend time preparing yourself for YOUR exams! It is now up to you to learn all you can and prepare yourself to pass these VERY important exams!!

    Here are some resources you can use:

    www.jmap.org  On Jmap, you can find Regents exams, sample questions on various topics, and even answers with brief explanations to Regents questions. Click on "Regents Exams" and then "ANS" for the exam you want to look at and you will see a teacher has gone through the exam and solved all of the problems with brief explanations or mathematic justifications for their answers.

    http://www.nysedregents.org/  Here you can find all of the past Regents exams, the multiple choice answers, AND the "model response sets" which give you all of the correct answers, partially correct, and incorrect answers, and show you how the points on each question are distributed. If you have any problems with the website, just google "Algebra Regents Exam" or "Geometry Regents Exam" and the videos will come up! 

    www.nysmathregentsprep.com  This math teacher has created a website with videos that go through many different Regents Exams with him showing you how to do each problem, and what math rules and ideas are behind each problem. I would suggest you spend the weekend before the Regents exam going through one or two tests, checking in and watching his videos to guide you. 

     

    There are a few online resources that can be very helpful to you, and I HIGHLY suggest you take advantage of them when you are not in school/class. You can only do as well as you prepare to do!!

Piece-wise Function - A function with more than one relation

Input - The x values of a function.

Output - The y values of a function.

Domain - All possible x values of a function.

Range - All possible y values of a function .

Equivalent - The same.

Axis of Symmetry - the line that cuts a function in half, usually expressed as "x = __ "

Constant - A number by itself (with no variable)

Coefficient - The number next to a variable (example 4x).

Correlatiion - The relationship between two relations.

Correlation Coefficent - A number from -1 to 1 that tells you how closely the equation of the line of best fit models the data (closer to 1, positive correlation, closer to 0 no correlation, closer to -1, negative correlation)

Evaluate - to substitute a given number for a variable. 

Function Rule - An equation that describes a function.

Intersection - Where two functions meet (on a graph or otherwise) 

Line of best fit - The most accurate line that represents data on a graph. 

System of equations - two or more equations.

System of inequalities - two or more inequalities.

Parabola - The graph of a quadratic function (x squared)

Radical - A number under a square root sign.

Rate of change - The slope of a function. 

Reciprocal - flipping a fraction.

Slope - The rate of change of a function.

Slope formula - (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Monomial - A polynomial with one term.

Binomial - A polynomial with two terms.

Trinomial - A polynomial with three terms.

Vertex - The highest or lowest point on a parabola. 

Vertical line test .- If you draw a vertical line through a relation at any point and the line only touches the relation one time then the relation is a function. 

Y intercept - Where a function crosses the y axis.

X intercept - Where a function crosses the x axis. 

Zeros of a function - Where a function crosses the x axis, or the value that will cause the function to equal zero.

Solutions of a function - The zeros of a function.
