100
The method used when equations are added or subtracted to "get rid of" a variable.
What is Elimination?
100
A number, variable, or the product of a number and one or more variable with whole number exponents.
What is a monomial?
100
A number, variable, or the product of a number and one or more variable with whole number exponents.
What is a monomial?
100
This says that if ab=0, then a=0, b=0, or both.
What is the Zero Product Rule?
100
If you graph a quadratic equation, you will get a u-shaped graph called this.
What is a parabola?
200
We know this is true when we get the result 0=0 when solving a system.
What is Infinite Solutions?
200
This property is most obvious when you multiply a monomial and other polynomial.
What is the distributive property?
200
The highest sum of the exponents of the variables in terms of a polynomial.
What is the degree of a polynomial?
200
When you are factoring a quadratic equation, you should check for this first.
What is a Greatest Common Factor?
200
This is the most basic quadratic function, also called the parent quadratic function.
What is y = x^2 ?
300
When we use this method, we solve for one variable in an equation and then "plug in" the expression for that variable into the other equation.
What is Substitution?
300
This pattern is used to make sure all of the terms are multiplied when you are finding the product of two binomials.
What is FOIL?
300
The coefficient of the first term when the polynomial is written in descending order.
What is the leading coefficient?
300
The maximum number of solutions a quadratic equation should have.
What is two?
300
When a parabola opens up, this point has the lowest y-value on the graph.
What is the vertex?
400
We know this is true when we solve a system of equations and the result is 0 = 12, for example.
What is there is no solution.
400
You would get this type of product when you multiply (a+b) and (a-b).
What is a difference of squares?
400
This type of polynomial has three terms.
What is a trinomial?
400
This is a method to solve quadratic equations that cannot be factored.
What is the quadratic formula?
400
This is the line that divides the parabola into two symmetric parts.
What is the axis of symmetry?
500
The answer to this type of problem is not one point, but an infinite number of points, shown on a graph by a shaded area.
What is system of linear inequalities?
500
You would get this type of pattern if you multiply (a+b) and (a+b).
What is a perfect square trinomial?
500
This type of polynomial has two terms
What is a binomial?
500
This part of the quadratic formula will let you know if there is no solution, one solution, or two solutions to a quadratic equation.
What is the discriminant?
500
This change in the parent function would make the graph open down instead of up in the equation y=ax^2.
What is a < 0 ?
M
e
n
u
