A (1)Element of an ordered pair plotted on the horizontal axis.
A (2)Describes a series that converges when all terms are replaced by their absolute values.
A (2)The highest point over the entire domain of a function or relation.
A (2)Field of mathematics concerned with study of algebraic structures e.g. groups, rings and fields.
A (2)Number, sum of its positive factors, excluding itself, is greater than the given number.
A (1)The first derivative of the velocity equation; the second derivative of the position function.

A (2)Transformation involving any combination of translations, reflections, stretches, shrinks, or rotations.
A (2)The cardinality of the natural numbers.
A (1)Ringlike section formed by concentric circles.
A (1)Sphere: 2 points directly opposite each other.
A (3)Method for approximating value of a function near a known value; uses tangent line at the known value of the function to approximate the function's graph.
