| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Equation | an expression or a proposition, often algebraic, asserting the equality of two quantities. |
| Expression | Numbers, symbols and operators (such as + and ×) grouped together that show the value of something. |
| Algorithm | An Algorithm is a step-by-step solution to a problem. It is like a cooking recipe for mathematics. Example: one Algorithm for adding two digit numbers is "add the units, add the tens and combine |
| Coefficient | A number used to multiply a variable |
| Simplify | Simplify the fraction (if needed) |
| Evaluate | to ascertain the numerical value of (a function, relation, etc.). |
| Like Term | Like Terms more ... Terms whose variables |
| Constant | is a number on its own, or sometimes a letter such as a, b or c to stand for a fixed number. |
| Linear Equation | an equation between two variables that gives a straight line when plotted on a graph.. |
| Nonlinear equation | In physics and other sciences, a nonlinear system is the opposite of a linear system, that is a system that does not satisfy the superposition principle, which means that the output is not directly proportional to the input |
| Quadratic | involving the second and no higher power of an unknown quantity or variable.: "a quadratic equation". |
| Function | a relationship or expression involving one or more variables.: "the function (bx + c)". |
| Inequality | difference in size, degree, circumstances, etc.; lack of equality.: "social inequality" "the widening inequalities in income". |
| Slope | The Slope (also called Gradient ) of a straight line shows how steep a straight line is. |
| Quadrant | Any of the 4 equal areas made by dividing a plane by an x and y axis |
| Coordinate Plane | The Plane containing the "x" axis and "y" axis. See: Axis (graph) Cartesian Coordinates |
| Standard Form | Another name for "Scientific Notation", where a number is written in two parts: |
| Slope-Intercept Form | The General Form is not always the most useful Form, and you may prefer to use: The Slope-Intercept Form of the equation of a straight line: |
| Variable | A symbol for a number we don't know yet. It is usually a letter like x or y. Example: in x + 2 = 6, x is the Variable If it is not a Variable it is called a Constant See: Constant |
| X- intercept | X- intercept x Intercept of a Straight Line The x Intercept of a straight line is simply where the line crosses the Y axis. |
| Y-Intercept | Y Intercept of a Straight Line The Y Intercept of a straight line is simply where the line crosses the x axis. |
