The difference between successive terms of the sequence is constant.Example: 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, ... common difference^common difference:The difference between any two consecutive terms in an arithmetic sequence. functionifunction:A relation in which exactly one element of the range is paired with each element of the domain. function notationfunction notation:A way to name a function that is defined by an equation.Example: In function notation, the equation y = 3x - 8 is written as f(x) = 3x - 8. functional value`functional value:The element in the range that corresponds to a specific element in the domain. inverse of a relationqinverse of a relation:The inverse of any relation is obtained by switching the coordinates in each ordered pair. linear equationllinear equation:An equation in the form Ax + By = C, where A  0 and B  0, whose graph is a straight line. mapping!jmapping:A diagram that illustrates how each element of the domain is paired with an element in the range.  sequence/sequence:A set of numbers in a specific order.  "standard form of a linear equationstandard form of a linear equation:A linear equation of the form Ax + By = C, where A  0, and A and B are real numbers and not both zero.  term in a sequence.term in a sequence:Each number in a sequence.  vertical line testIvertical line test:A test used to determine if a relation is a function.   x-interceptEx-intercept:The x-coordinate at which a graph intersects the x-axis.  y-interceptEy-intercept:The y-coordinate at which a graph intersects the y-axis. zeros1zeros:The roots, or x-intercepts, of a function.8`P  P>@ @  @   @@@`  !  @@@p @ @1 @@@x @@09H IH 0=@@@   @  @ @>
