Simple operations
A number that is multiplied by another number to get a product
factor
The number that indicates how many times the base is used as a factor
exponent
Which operations should you do first when doing a math problem
first perform the operations in brackets or parentheses
The property that states that for all real numbers a, b, and c, their product is always the same, regardless of their grouping
Associative Property of Multiplication
6 (3 • 4) = (6 • 3) • 4
Associative Property of Multiplication
The number you are dividing by in a division problem
divisor
A number that can be written in the form a/b, where a and b are integers and b ≠ 0
(≠ means "does not equal zero")
rational number
The second operation in order of operations is
compute powers and roots (exponents)
The property that states that two or more numbers can be added in any order without changing the sum
Commutative Property of Addition
3 + 4 + 6 + 9 = 6 + 4 + 9 +3
Commutative property of addition
The answer when you multiply
Product
A number whose value does not change
constant
The third thing to do is
perform all multiplication and division from left to right
The property that states that two or more numbers can be multiplied in any order without changing the product
Commutative Property of Multiplication
6 + 0 = 6
Identity property of addition
The answer you get when you divide
Quotient
The number that is multiplied by the variable in an algebraic expression
coefficient
And the final operations are:
perform all addition and subtraction from left to right
The property that states that the sum of zero and any number is that number
Identity Property of Addition
26 = what?
64
The sum of the items in a set of data divided by the number of items in the set; also called mean
average
Which one of these is a term.
7+4 7 x 4 3x 6/3
7+4
What is the mnemonic used to remember the order of operations?
Pleas excuse my dear Aunt Sally
For all real numbers a, b, and c;
a(b + c) = ab + ac. and a(b -c) = ab -ac
Distributive Property
12 (10 + 14) •15 =
288
