Study Notes
Mathematical Definitions
-
Term: Components of an expression or series separated by "+" or "-" signs, or parts of a sequence divided by commas.
-
Constant: A standalone number or a letter (like a, b, or c) representing a fixed number.
-
Coefficient: A numerical factor that multiplies a variable in an expression.
-
Like Terms: Terms that have identical variables and exponents, enabling them to be combined in simplification.
-
Identity: An equation that remains valid for any variable values substituted within it.
-
Equation: A mathematical statement that expresses the equality of two expressions through an equal sign.
-
Consecutive Integers: Integers arranged in sequential order without any gaps.
-
Uniform Motion: Movement at a constant speed in a straight line.
-
Formula: An equation that summarizes the relationship between specific quantities.
-
Distributive Property: States that multiplying a number by a sum is the same as multiplying each addend separately and then summing.
-
Variable: A symbol (typically x or y) representing an unknown number.
-
Algebraic Expression: A mathematical phrase that may include numbers, variables, and operators like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
-
Open Sentence: A mathematical statement that can be evaluated as either true or false based on the values used.
-
Simplify: The process of making an expression easier to understand or reducing its complexity.
-
Exponents: Indicate how many times a base number is multiplied by itself, represented as a small number to the right and above the base.
-
Base: The number in an exponentiation that is raised to a power.
-
Power: Refers to the operation of exponentiation, indicating how many times the base is multiplied by itself.
-
Evaluate: The act of calculating the value of an expression based on given variables or numbers.
-
Literal Equation: An equation where variables denote known values rather than unknowns.
-
Inequality: A statement indicating that two expressions are not equal.
-
Compound Inequality: Formed by connecting two inequality statements with “or” or “and.”
-
Independent Variable: A variable (typically x) whose value does not rely on another variable's value.
-
Dependent Variable: The output measured in an experiment, influenced by the independent variable.
-
Input Value: The value entered into a function or system for evaluation.
-
Point-Slope Form: The linear equation expressed as y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m represents the slope and (x1, y1) are coordinates of a point on the line.
-
Parallel Lines: Lines in a plane that remain equidistant and never intersect.
-
Perpendicular Lines: Lines that intersect at right angles (90°).
-
Weighted Average: An average that accounts for the varied significance of each data point by multiplying values by their respective weights.
