Math Terms
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| alternate interior angles | When two lines are crossed by another line (the Transversal), a pair of angles on each of those two lines, on opposite sides of the transversal. But inside those two lines are alternate interior angles. |
| alternate exterior angles | alternate exterior angles are defined as two exterior angles on opposite sides of a transversal which lie on different parallel lines. |
| parabola | a symmetrical open plane curve formed by the intersection of a cone with a plane parallel to its side. |
| evaluate | find a numerical expression or equivalent for (an equation, formula, or function). |
| absolute value of a complex number | The absolute value of a complex number , a + b is defined as the distance between the origin and the point in the complex plane. |
| alternate angles | two angles, not adjoining one another, that are formed on opposite sides of a line that intersect two other lines. If the original two lines are parallel, the alternate angles are equal. |
| algebraic numbers | any complex number (real numbers too) that is a root of a non-zero polynomial (i.e., a value which causes the polynomial to equal 0) in one variable with rational coefficients or equivalently – by clearing denominators – with integer coefficients. |
| constant term | a constant is a number on its own, or sometimes a letter such as a, b or c to stand for a fixed number. |
| slope | slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, or a section of a line, connecting two points. |
| transformation | transformation refers to the movement of objects in the coordinate plane. |
| function | a relationship or expression involving one or more variables |
| formula | a mathematical relationship or rule expressed in symbol |
| mean | ¨average¨ add all numbers then divide by number of numbers there are |
| additive inverse | additive inverse of a number a is the number that, when added to a, stops zero |
| area | area of a flat, or plane figure is the number of unit squares that can be contained within it |
| coefficient | a numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression |
| linear inequality | a linear inequality is an inequality which involves a linear function |
| ordered pair | a pair of elements used for graphing |
| parallel lines | parallel lines are two lines that are always the same distance apart and never touch |
| adjacent angles | two angles are adjacent when they have a common side and a common corner point and don't overlap. |
