Study Notes
Pre-Algebra Vocabulary Overview
- Absolute Value: Reflects the distance of a number from zero on a number line.
- Acute Angle: Measures less than 90 degrees.
- Acute Triangle: Contains three angles that are all acute.
Fundamental Properties
- Additive Identity Property: Any number added to zero remains unchanged.
- Additive Inverse: The opposite of a given number.
- Associative Property: Sum or product remains the same regardless of grouping (e.g., (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)).
Angles and Shapes
- Adjacent Angles: Share a vertex and a common side but do not overlap.
- Complementary Angles: The sum of angle measures equals 90 degrees.
- Isosceles Triangle: Features at least two equal sides.
Geometry Concepts
- Altitude (Height): Perpendicular segment from the base of a figure.
- Chord: A segment whose endpoints lie on a circle.
- Cylinder: Formed by two parallel circles connected by a curved surface.
Algebraic Expressions and Equations
- Algebraic Expression: Combination of numbers, variables, and operations.
- Equation: Expresses equality between two quantities.
Graphs and Data Representation
- Coordinate Plane: Intersecting horizontal and vertical number lines.
- Box-and-Whisker Plot: Visualizes data using median and quartiles.
- Line Graph: Depicts changes in data over time.
Relationships and Functions
- Dependent Variable: Its value is determined by another variable.
- Independent Variable: Chosen variable whose value influences others.
- Function: Demonstrates a relationship where one variable relies on another.
Data Analysis
- Mean: Average calculated by dividing the sum of data by quantity.
- Median: The middle value of ordered data points.
- Mode: The most frequently occurring value(s) in a data set.
Statistical Measures
- Interquartile Range: Difference between upper and lower quartiles.
- Measures of Central Tendency: Represent the center of a data set (mean, median, mode).
- Measures of Variation: Describe how data is distributed.
Transformations and Symmetry
- Transformation: Movement of a figure resulting in a new position.
- Line of Symmetry: A line dividing a figure into mirrored halves.
Miscellaneous
- Negative Correlation: Indicates that as one variable increases, the other decreases in a scatter plot.
- Misleading Graphs: Poorly constructed graphs that cause confusion or incorrect interpretations.
- Rational vs. Irrational Numbers: Rational can be expressed as fractions, while irrational cannot.
