Formulas and Vocabulary
Term | Definition or Example or Formu | |
---|---|---|
Recipriocal | Multiplicative Inverse; if b then 1/b (Definition of Division) | |
Numerical Expression | Consists of numbers, operations, and grouping symbols. | |
Power | An expression formed by repeated multiplication of the same factor. Consists of an exponent and a base. | |
Exponent | Represents the number of times the base is used as a factor. | |
Base | The number in a power. | |
Variable | A letter that is used to represent one or more numbers. | |
Algebraic Expression | An expression involving variables is called an algebraic expression. You evaluate the algebraic expression when you simplify. | |
Term | The parts of an expression that can be written as a sum added together is called a term. | |
Variable Term | A term that has a variable term is called a variable term. | |
Constant Term | A term that has no variable part is called a constant term. | |
Coefficient | When a term is a product of a number and a power of a variable, the number is called the coefficient of a power; the number in front of the variable. | |
Like Terms | Terms that have the same variable parts. (Including the variable and the exponent, but not the coefficient) | |
Equivalent Expressions | Two algebraic expressions if they have the same value for all values of their variables. | |
Identity | A statement that equates equates two equivalent expressions. | |
Equation | A statement that two expressions are equal. | |
Linear Equation | An equation that has one variable and can be written in the form ax+b=0 where a and b are constants and a cannot equal zero. | |
Solution of an Equation | A number that if substituted for the variable results in a true statement. | |
Equivalent Equation | Two equations if they have the same solutions. | |
Additive Property of Equality | If a=b, then a+c=b+c | |
Subtraction Property of Equality | If a=b, then a-c=b-c | |
Multiplication Property of Equality | If a=b and c is not 0, then a*c=b*c | |
Division Property of Equality | If a=b and c is not 0, then a/c=b/c | |
