Number Sets
Numbers that start at 1 and go to positive infinite. Sometimes called the counting numbers.
What are the Natural Numbers?
Multiplying these two types of numbers will result in a positive number.
What is same sign multiplication, or positive and positive, or negative and negative?
This property shows that 2 numbers can be switched and still provide the same answer when multiplying or adding.
What is the Commutative Property?
A letter or symbol used to notate a number or a group of numbers.
What is a variable?
This is the acronym used to describe the order of operations.
What is PEMDAS?
Numbers that start at 0 and go to positive infinite.
What are the Whole Numbers?
A smaller number placed at the top right of a number to describe the number of times that number will be multiplied by itself.
What is an exponent?
This property shows that we can shift the parentheses on any 3 terms and still get the same answer when adding or multiplying.
What is the Associative Property?
These terms do not have the same variable or if they do, the exponent is not the same.
What is 'unlike-terms'?
The word used to describe flipping a number or fraction over.
What is the inverse or reciprocal?
Any number that can be expressed as a fraction. As a decimal the numbers to the right of the decimal point either terminate or repeat infinitely with a pattern.
What are the Rational Numbers?
The operation used to find the number that when multiplied by itself will equal that number. Example 25 = 5 * 5.
What is the square root?
This property shows that adding 0 to a number OR multiplying 1 to a number does not change that number.
What is the identity property?
The number that precedes a variable.
What is a coefficient?
This symbol is used to show on a number line or interval notation that the number is being included in the graph?
What is a bracket?
A set that contains no elements inside of it.
What is an empty or null set?
The rules for determining the order in which a expression can be evaluated.
What are the order of operations?
This property shows that a number outside of a parentheses can be disbursed over the numbers inside the parentheses.
What is the distributive property?
The process in which we can combine terms with the same variable with the same exponents.
What is combining like terms?
This can be also referred to as factoring out the greatest common factor and leaving the rest in parentheses.
What is reverse distribution?
Numbers that are not in the Real Number set such as the square root of negative 12?
What are imaginary or complex numbers?
This can be described as the distance from zero. It is always positive.
What is the absolute value?
This property has a additive and multiplicative version of it. It is used to add to zero or multiply to 1.
What is the inverse property?
These two things need to be the same to call two terms 'like terms'.
What are the variable and the exponent?
The square root of negative 1.
What is 'i'?
