A line segment that has both length and a direction (but not set starting position)
What is a vector?
100
The length from one crest to the midline of a sinusoidal function.
What is amplitude?
100
No, this isn't a form of dodgeball. It's a method of solving a system of linear equations.
What is elimination?

200
Any quantity that has a magnitude but no direction.
What is a scalar?

In physics and math, it's one full rotation of an object. It also describes geological eras, and is found twice in this answer.
What is the period?
200
Like a temporary teacher, one form of algebraically solving a system of equations
What is substitution?
200
It takes an orchestra with 30 musicians to play Beethoven's 5th in 30 minutes. How long will it take 60 musicians?
Still 30 minutes, it'll just be a lot louder.
300
Used to know if a matrix inverse exists and to calculate the inverse. Takes the form of ad-bc in 2D.
What is the determinant?
300
When you smoosh together two gummy candies, or a way to multiply vectors.
What is the dot product?
300
The initialism used to remember what the trigonometric functions do.
What is SOHCAHTOA?
300
The point of intersection of two lines, three planes, four 3D solids, etc.
What is a solution?

When can I add 6 to 11 and get 5?
11PM + 6 hours = 5AM
(Hours use base 12 or 24, minutes and seconds use base 60, unlike our math which is base 10! Based)

Denoted by an "x", the other kind of vector multiplication which gives you a line perpendicular to both vectors.
What is the cross product?
500
The alternate name/s for the inverse trigonometric functions?
What is arcsine, arccosine, arctangent?
500
A property of a system of equations which leads to infinite solutions.
What is linear dependence?

2+2 = 2*2. Find 3 different positive integers whose sum equals their product (aka a+b+c = a*b*c; it's as easy as that).
1, 2, 3.
