When the denominator of the x2 term is greater than that of the y2-term the major axis is the axis?

horizontal


Are quadratic functions symmetric with respect to the y-axis?

No, but they are symmetric with respect to a line parallel to the y-axis - which could be the y-axis itself.


What is the term that describes where a line intresects the y-axis?

The term for a line intercepting the y-axis is a y-intercept. In the equation y=mx+b, which is slope-INTERCEPT form, b is the y-intercept. Once again, the answer to your question is a y-intercept.


What is meant by the term domain and range in maths?

Quite simply, the domain is the input and the range is the output of a function. If your using a typical X-Y axis graph, it may be useful to view the X axis as where the domain lies. The Y axis is where the range lies. Y= f(x) or Range = f(domain)


How can a parabola have no x intercepts?

Suppose the equation of the parabola is y = ax2 + bx + c Now, where the parabola crosses the x-axis (the x intercepts), the value of y must be zero (that is what crossing the x-axis means). If the discriminant, b2 - 4ac is less than zero, y has no real roots. This means that there is no real value of x for which y equals zero and so the parabola has no x intercepts. If the discriminant is zero then the parabola only touches the x-axis - at (-b/2a,0). If the discriminant is greater than zero, there are two distinct intercepts. If a>0 then the parabola is shaped like a U and is wholly above the x-axis. If a<0 then the parabola is an upturned U, wholly below the x axis. If a = 0 the quadratic term disappears and the function is a straight line, not a parabola.

How do you put a fraction in lowest term?

By determining the GCF of the numerator and the denominator. If the GCF is greater than 1, divide each term by that number. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.


What is the definition of lowest term?

A fraction is said to be in its lowest terms if the numerator and denominator are both integers, the denominator is greater than zero, and the two do not have any factor in common other than 1 (ie they are co-prime).

What is the improper fraction of 5 over 3?

The Improper Fraction is 5/3 . The use of the term 'top heavy' is incorrect; 'Improper' is the correct term for a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator.
