Term | Definition |
---|---|
variable | a letter that represents a number |
evaluate | find the value of a numerical expression by substituting numbers for variables |
variable expression | combination of numbers and variables joined by arithmetic operations |
perimeter | the measure around a geometric figure |
area | the number of square units contained by a geometric figure |
volume | the number of cubic units contained in a 3 dimensional geometric figure |
Commutative Property | for addition and multiplication, order doesn't matter 3 + a = a + 3 |
Associative Property | for addition and multiplication, grouping doesn't matter (a + 3) + b = a + (3 + b) |
Distributive Property | 4(a + b) = 4a + 4b |
constant | a symbol that always represents the same number ex; 5x + 3 3 is constant |
numerical coefficient | the number portion of a term, always before the variable ex. 3ab 3 is coefficient |
like terms | same variables with the same exponents |
exponential form | term written with exponents |
factored form | no exponents, shown as repeated multiplication |
Product of Powers | if multiplying two or more monomials, add exponents if bases are the same |
perimeter of a rectangle | 2 Lengths + 2 widths |
area of a rectangle | Length times Width |
