Gr 7 Math Chapter 2
Holt Middle School Math Course 2 2004 - Chapter 2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| power | repeated multiplication of a number(factor) by itself, such as 2x2x2x2 |
| exponent | in a power, it is the number which represents how many times to use the base as a factor |
| base | in a power, it is the number that gets multiplied by itself |
| standard form | the way most numbers are written |
| scientific notation | a shorthand way to write very large numbers |
| numerical expression | an expression made up of numbers and operations |
| order of operations | rules to be followed when simplifying a numerical expression |
| prime number | a whole number greater than one that has exactly 2 factors, 1 and itself (example: 17) |
| composite number | a whole number that has more than 2 factors (example: 6 has factors of 1, 2, 3, and 6) |
| prime factorization | a composite number written as the product of its prime factors (example: 20 = 2 x 2 x 5) |
| greatest common factor (GCF) | the greatest whole number that divides evenly into 2 or more whole numbers |
| multiple | the product of a number and any whole number |
| least common multiple | the least of the common multiples of two or more numbers |
| variable | a letter that represents a number that can vary |
| constant | a number that cannot change (example: 456) |
| algebraic expression | an expression that contains one or more variables and often constants and operations |
| evaluate an algebraic expression | substitute a number for the variable and simplify |
| verbal expressions | words that can be translated into algebraic expressions |
| term | a number, variable, or a product of numbers and variables (examples: 7 z 8y 12xy ) |
| coefficient | a number that is multiplied by a variable in an algebraic expression (example: 8 in 8x) |
| like terms | terms with the same variable raised to the same power (example: 7x and 10x ) |
| equation | a mathematical statement that 2 expressions are equal in value (example: 7x+10=24) |
| solution | the value of the variable that makes a statement(equation)true |
| solve | to find the SOLUTION to an equation |
| isolate the variable | get the variable ALONE on one side of the equation |
| Addition Property of Equality | You can ADD the same amount to both sides of an equation and the statement will still be true |
| inverse operations | operations which "undo" each other (example: addition and subtraction) |
| Subtraction Property of Equality | You can SUBTRACT the same amount to both sides of an equation and the statement will still be true |
| Multiplication Property of Equality | You can MULTIPLY both sides of an equation by the same amount and the statement will still be true |
| Division Property of Equality | You can DIVIDE both sides of an equation by the same amount and the statement will still be true |
