Math Fundamentals
This operation removes grouping symbols by multiplying every term inside the brackets.
What is expanding?
This organelle is often called the “powerhouse of the cell” because it produces ATP.
What is the mitochondrion?
This quantity describes the rate of change of position with respect to time and includes both magnitude and direction.
What is velocity?
These elements are found in Group 18 of the periodic table and are known for their low reactivity.
What are noble gases?
This point on a quadratic function represents where the maximum or minimum value of the function occurs.
What is the vertex?
This value represents the rate of change of a linear relation and can be found by calculating rise over run.
What is the slope?
This molecule carries genetic information and is shaped like a double helix.
What is Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)?
These quantities must be described using both magnitude and direction and are often added using head‑to‑tail or component methods.
What are vectors?
This quantity is used to count particles in chemistry and is equal to 6.02×10^(23)
What is a mole?
This transformation produces a mirror image of a graph across the x‑axis.
What is a vertical reflection?
This type of equation contains a variable with an exponent of 2 and can often be solved by factoring.
What is a quadratic equation?
This process uses the information in mRNA to assemble amino acids into a protein.
What is translation?
When an object moves at constant velocity, this quantity must be zero according to Newton’s Laws.
What is the net force?
This gas law states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional when temperature is constant.
What is Boyle’s law?
This feature of a function describes all possible input values.
What is the domain?
This mathematical rule states that operations inside brackets are completed before any others.
What is BEDMAS?
This type of feedback mechanism counteracts changes in the body to maintain stable internal conditions.
What is negative feedback?
This physical principle states that the total mechanical energy of a system remains constant when only conservative forces act on the system.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy?
According to the Bronsted–Lowry theory, this type of substance donates a proton.
What is an acid?
This test determines whether a relation has an inverse that is also a function.
What is the horizontal line test?
This method of solving a quadratic equation involves rewriting it as the product of two binomials.
What is factoring?
These two hormones are released by the adrenal glands during a stress response and increase heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels.
What are adrenaline and cortisol?
In a two‑dimensional collision, this vector quantity must be conserved separately in both the horizontal and vertical directions.
What is momentum?
This principle predicts how a system at equilibrium responds when stress is applied.
What is Le Châtelier’s Principle?
Unlike a vertical asymptote, this occurs when a factor cancels and creates a removable break in a rational function’s graph.
What is a point of discontinuity?
