"Random" Definitions
Two parallel lines that, in reference to a number, indicate the positive number that describes the distance on a number line of the graph of the number from the origin.
Absolute Value
An angle whose measure is between 0 and 90 degrees.
Acute angle
A rule for exponents: If m, n, and x are real numbers and x does not equal zero, then xm * xn = xm+n
Product rule for exponents
The area of a rectangle.
What is length times width? l x w
A counting number greater than 1 whose only counting number factors are 1 and the number itself.
What is a prime number?
The number or quantity under the fraction bar in a fraction; i.e. the divisor in a fraction. The "b" in the fraction a/b.
Denominator
The side opposite the right angle in a right triangle
Hypotenuse
A property of real numbers that notes that, for any real numbers a, b, and c, a(b+c) = ab + ac
The distributive property
The area of a square.
What is the length of a side squared? s2
The process of writing an indicated sum as a product of factors.
What is factoring?
The number that indicates that number of times the base of a power is to be used as a factor.
Exponent
A triangle that has at least two sides of equal length.
Isosceles triangle
A property of real numbers such that, for any real numbers a, b, and c, if a > b, then a + c > b + c
Additive property of inequality
The area of a triangle.
What is 1/2 base times height? 1/2 b x h
The product of all prime algebraic factors common to every term, each to the highest power that it occurs in all of the terms, for any two or more terms.
What is Greatest Common Factor?
A mathematical statement comparing quantities that are not equal
Inequality
a2 + b2 = c2
The Pythagorean Theorem
A property of real numbers that notes that, for any real numbers a and b,
a + b = b + a and a * b + b * a
The commutative property
The area of a circle.
What is Pi times the radius squared?
A number that can be composed of two counting numbers that are both greater than 1.
What is a composite number?
A method of writing a number as the product of a number between 1 and 10 with a power of 10. For example, 3241.5 is 3.2415 x 103 , and .00063 is 6.3 x 10-4
Scientific notation
Lines in the same plane that do not intersect
Parallel line
A property of real numbers that notes that, for any real numbers a, b, and c, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) and (a * b) * c = a * (b * c)
Associative property
The volume of a cone.
What is 1/3 of the Area of the base times the height?
The smallest number that can be divided evenly by each of a group of specified numbers.
(LCM) Least Common Multiple
Any factor or any product of factors of a product
Coefficient
Two lines which intersect at right angles
Perpendicular lines
A rule for evaluating products of radical expressions: If m and n are nonnegative real numbers, then the square root of m times the square root of n equals the square root of m * n, and the square root of m*n equals the square root of m times the square root of n
The product of square roots rule
The volume of a sphere.
What is 4/3 Pi times the radius cubed.
