Study Notes
Fundamental Math Terms
- Quotient: Result from dividing one number by another.
- Product: Result from multiplying two numbers together.
- Pythagorean Theorem: A formula relating the lengths of the sides of a right triangle: ( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 ).
- Percentages: A way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100.
- Ratio: A mathematical comparison between two quantities.
- Sum: Result obtained from the addition of two or more numbers.
- Difference: Result obtained from subtracting one number from another.
Geometric Concepts
- Equilateral Triangle: A triangle in which all three sides are of equal length.
- Rhombus: A type of quadrilateral with all four sides of equal length.
Algebraic Principles
- Direct Variation: A relationship where the ratio of two variables ( y ) and ( x ) is a constant.
- Slope: The measure of steepness of a line, calculated as the rise (vertical change) divided by the run (horizontal change).
- Intercepts: Points where a line or curve crosses the axes of a graph.
Statistical Measures
- Mean: The average value of a set of numbers, calculated by dividing the total by the number of values.
- Median: The middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers.
Logical Statements
- Conditional Statement: An "if-then" statement that establishes a relationship between two propositions.
Measurement Terms
- Units: The standards (like feet or meters) used to measure and express quantities.
- Absolute Value: The distance of a number from zero on a number line, disregarding its sign.
Data Analysis Concepts
- Data: Information collected for analysis or reference.
- Frequency: A count of how many times a particular value or event occurs.
Geometric Measurements
- Perimeter: The total distance around the edges of a geometric figure.
- Area: The amount of space enclosed within a geometric figure, measured in square units.
- Volume: The space occupied by a three-dimensional shape, measured in cubic units.
Mathematical Structures
- Plane: A flat, two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely in all directions.
- Exponent: A notation indicating how many times to multiply a base number by itself.
Temperature Measurement
- Fahrenheit: A temperature scale used primarily in the United States, where water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees.
