Stand and deliver
This is the Spanish word for "desire" or "drive" that Escalante tells his students they need to succeed.
Ganas
This is the name for side the longest side opposite the right angle.
hypotenuse
These are the numbers located in the main body of the table that represent the count for a specific combination of both categories.
joint frequencies?
To divide two powers with the same base, you perform this operation on their exponents.
What is subtraction?
When adding two negative integers, like (-5) + (-3), the sum will always have this sign.
what is negative
This is the nickname the students affectionately give to Mr. Escalante.
Kimo
This term refers to the longest side of a right triangle, which is represented by "c" in the theorem's formula.
What is the hypotenuse?
These values, often found in the "Total" row or column, represent the sum of the frequencies for a single category.
marginal frequencies
This is the result when any non-zero number is raised to the power of zero
What is 1?
This is the value of (-1)^100)
What is 1?
To teach fractions, Escalante uses this food item, which he slices with a meat cleaver.
Apple
What word describes the process of multiplying a number by itself, used in the formula
exponentiation
This specific type of table displays data as percentages or ratios rather than simple counts.
What is a two-way relative frequency table?
This property is used to simplify an expression like (x^2)^5), resulting in (x^10)
What is the Power of a Power Property? (or Power Rule)
If you multiply a negative integer by a positive integer, the product will always be this.
What is negative?
Angel, the class leader, earns this nickname from Mr. Escalante based on his hairstyle.
"Net-head"
The theorem only works on this specific type of triangle that contains one 90-degree angle.
what is a right triangle
This is the name of the single cell in the bottom-right corner that represents the total number of individuals surveyed.
What is the grand total?
This rule allows you to rewrite (x^-5) as a fraction with a positive exponent
What is the Negative Exponent Rule?
This is the simplified value of the expression \(-3^2). (Hint: The negative is not in parentheses!)
What is -9?
In a scene showing their roots, Escalante tells his class that this ancient civilization first understood the concept of zero.
Mayans
In the formula (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), these are the names given to sides "a" and "b."
What are the legs?
To find this type of frequency, you divide a joint frequency by the grand total to show what fraction of the entire group falls into that category.
relative frequency?
When simplifying (2x^3y^2)^3, you must apply the power to each factor, resulting in this final expression.
8x^9y^6
In the order of operations (PEMDAS), this operation must be performed after Parentheses but before Multiplication.
What are Exponents?
