Study Notes

Key Concepts in Algebra

  • Absolute Value: Represents the distance of a number from zero on a number line, denoted mathematically as ( y = |x| ).

  • Algebraic Expression: Composed of numbers, variables, and operations, but does not hold an equal sign.

  • Area: Measures the amount of space enclosed within a two-dimensional shape.

  • Binomial: An algebraic expression containing exactly two distinct terms.

  • Coefficient: A numerical factor that multiplies a variable in an expression, often referred to as the "big" number.

  • Common Difference: The fixed amount added to each term in an arithmetic sequence, establishing a uniform gap between consecutive terms.

  • Common Ratio: The constant factor between consecutive terms in a geometric sequence, expressed as a ratio.

  • Constant of Variation: The constant value (denoted as ( k )) that remains unchanged in direct (e.g., ( y = kx )) or inverse variation (e.g., ( xy = k )) relationships.

  • Constant Term: A term in an expression that has no variable part, maintaining a specific value (e.g., in ( 2x + 3 ), the constant term is 3).

  • Coordinates: An ordered pair of numbers, usually represented as ( (x, y) ), defining a specific point on a coordinate plane.

  • Degree of a Monomial: Sum of the exponents in a term containing variables, indicating its overall degree.

  • Degree of a Polynomial: Determined by the highest degree among its constituent terms.

  • Difference: The result derived from performing subtraction between two quantities.

  • Distributive Property: A fundamental property of multiplication over addition, expressed as ( a(b + c) = ab + ac ).

  • Equation: A mathematical statement containing an equal sign, asserting the equality of two expressions.

  • Equivalent Expressions: Two expressions that yield the same value under all substitutions, demonstrated by an equality (e.g., ( 3x + 5 = 2x - 6 )).

  • Evaluate: The process of determining the value of an expression by substituting specific numbers for the variables.

  • Exponent: The small number in a power that indicates how many times the base is multiplied by itself.

  • Factor: An expression that, when multiplied together with others, forms a product (e.g., ( (2x - 1) ) and ( (x - 1) ) are factors).

  • Factor Completely: The act of breaking down a polynomial into its prime factors.

  • Factoring: The method of determining the factors of a polynomial, often rewriting it in its factored form.

  • Formula: A mathematical equation that provides a method to calculate a specific value.

  • Function: A relationship where each input has a single output, ensuring that no x-values repeat, although y-values can vary.

  • Function Notation: A method of representing functions using symbols, commonly denoted as ( f(x) ).

  • Function Rule: An expression that defines how output values are derived from input values in a function.

  • Greatest Common Factor (GCF): The largest term that can evenly divide all terms in a polynomial.

  • Inequality: A mathematical expression that features an inequality sign instead of an equal sign, representing non-equal relationships.

  • Integers: The set of whole numbers including negative numbers, zero, and positive numbers.

  • Irrational Numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction, including many roots and specific decimal forms.

  • Leading Coefficient: The coefficient associated with the term of the highest degree in a polynomial, influencing its end behavior.

  • Like Terms: Terms that share the same variable parts, allowing for simplification through addition or subtraction.

  • Literal Equation: An equation in which letters symbolize numbers, commonly used to express mathematical relationships (e.g., ( A = lw )).

  • Monomial: A polynomial that consists of only one single term.

  • Negative Exponent: An exponent that indicates the reciprocal of the base raised to the opposite positive exponent.

  • Opposites: Refers to the reciprocal nature of mathematical operations, including positive/negative and addition/subtraction.

  • Quotient: The result obtained from dividing one number by another.

  • Ratio: A mathematical comparison between two quantities expressed through division, such as ( 6:4 ) or ( 6/4 ).

  • Rational Numbers: Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers, including terminating and repeating decimals.

  • Real Numbers: The complete set of all rational and irrational numbers, encompassing all number types.

  • Simplify: The process of executing all operations in an expression to reduce it to its simplest form.

  • Square Root: A number that produces a specified value when multiplied by itself.

  • Substitution: A method for solving equations by replacing a variable with an expression representing its value in other equations.

  • Sum: The final result obtained after performing addition on two or more numbers.

  • Terms of an Expression: Individual components of an expression that are separated by either addition or subtraction.

  • Trinomial: A polynomial consisting of three distinct terms.

  • Variable: A symbol, often a letter, utilized to stand in for an unknown value in mathematical expressions.

  • Whole Numbers: Non-negative integers that start from zero and increment upward (0, 1, 2, ...).

  • Zero Exponent: A mathematical principle where any non-zero base raised to the zero power equals one.

  • Zero Term: The output of a function rule when no operational adjustments have been applied.

  • Prime: A natural number greater than one that has no divisors other than one and itself.
