A
Angle Bisector- An angle bisector refers to the the ray (or the line) that divides an angle into two congruent angles. The bisector will divide the angle equally in half.

B
Bisector- An angle or a line is bisected when they are cut into two equal parts. The line cutting the angle or line into 2 equal parts is referred to as the bisector. To bisect mean to cut into equal parts.

H
Hyperbola- One type of conic section. The hyperbola is the set of all points in a plane. The difference of whose distance from two fixed points in the plane is the positive constant.

J
Jump Discontinuity- A discontinuity for which the graph steps or jumps from one connected piece of the graph to another. Formally, it is a discontinuity for which the limits from the left and right both exist but are not equal to each other.
