Algebra Concepts Quiz

Algebraic Concepts

• Absolute Value: Measures the distance from zero on a number line; always non-negative.
• Absolute Value Curve: Represents the function f(x) = b; characterized by a V-shape.
• Additive Identity: The number zero; adding zero to any number yields that number.
• Additive Inverse: The negative counterpart of a number; when added to the number results in zero.
• Associative Property: The grouping of three or more numbers in addition or multiplication does not affect the outcome.
• Base: A number that is multiplied by itself a specific number of times.
• Closure Property: Any two real numbers summed or multiplied will result in another real number.
• Coefficient: A numerical factor multiplied by variables within a term.
• Common Denominator: A shared multiple by which all denominators in a set can be divided.
• Commutative Property: Order of addition or multiplication does not change the result.

Set Theory and Functions

• Complement of a Set: Notated as A', includes all elements of the universal set not in A.
• Complex Fraction: A fraction that contains fractions in its numerator or denominator.
• Complex Number: Formulated as a + bi, where both a and b are real numbers.
• Consistent System of Linear Equations: Identifiable by having a single solution.
• Constant: A fixed value that does not change regardless of other variables.

Exponents and Roots

• Cube: Raising a number or expression to the third power.
• Cube Root: The number that results in a specified value when cubed.
• Disjoint Sets: Two sets with no common elements.
• Distributive Property: Indicates that a(b ± c) = ab ± ac for any real numbers a, b, and c.
• Equation: An expression showing two algebraic forms are equal, divided by an equal sign.

Number Types

• Even Numbers: Integers divisible by 2 without remainder.
• Exponent: Indicates the number of times a base is multiplied by itself.
• Expression: A combination of terms without an equal sign.
• Finite Set: A set that contains a countable number of elements.
• Fractional Exponent: Introduces roots into an expression.

Advanced Numbers and Properties

• Imaginary Number: Any number represented as bi, where b is a real number and i equals the square root of -1.
• Imaginary Root: A solution to a quadratic equation that includes an imaginary component.
• Improper Fraction: A fraction where the numerator is equal to or larger than the denominator.
• Index: Refers to the root in a radical expression.
• Inequality: A mathematical statement indicating one expression is less than, greater than, or not equal to another.

Set Characteristics

• Infinite Set: A set that comprises an uncountable number of elements.
• Integer: Includes all natural numbers, their negative counterparts, and zero.
• Intercept Form of Linear Equation: Structured as x/a + y/b = 1, where a and b represent the x and y intercepts, respectively.
• Intersection of Sets: The common elements present in both sets A and B.
• Interval Notation: A method for expressing inequalities with brackets indicating inclusive endpoints and parentheses indicating exclusive endpoints.

Miscellaneous

• Irrational Number: Cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers; examples include e, Pi, and square roots of non-square numbers.
• Like Terms: Terms that can be combined due to having identical variables and exponents.
• Linear Equation: Formulated as ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are constants, ensuring a and b aren't simultaneously zero.
• Linear Inequality: Represents conditions in forms like ax + by > c or ax + by < c, indicating relationships of greater or lesser value among points.
