Question | Answer |
Algebra | a mathematical language that uses symbols, usually letters, along with numbers. the letters stand for numbers that are unknown. |
algebra expression | a combination of variables, numbers, and at least one operation. |
area | the number of square units needed to cover the surface enclosed which a geometric figure is rotated. |
base | any side of a parallelogram |
composition number | a number greater than 1 with more than two factors |
cubed | the product in which a number is a factor three times.two cubed is 8 because 2x2x2=8. |
defining the varable | choosing a variable to represent the input when writing a function rule |
equals sign | a symbol of equality,=. |
equation | |
evaluate | to find the value of an algebraic expression by replacing variables with numerals |
exponent | in a power,the number of times the base is used as a factor.in 5 to the 3rd power, the exponent is 3.that is, 5 to the 3rd power =5x5x5. |
factor | a number that divides into a whole number with a remainder of zero |
formula | an equation that shows a relationship among certain quantities. |
function | a relationship which each element of the input is paired with exactly one element of the output according to a specified rule. |
function rule | an expression that describes the relationship between each input and output. |
function table | a table organizing the input, rule, and output of a function. |
numerical expression | a combination of numbers and operations |
order of operation | the rule that tell which operation to perform first when more than one operation is used |
power | a number that can be expressed using an exponent. the power 3 to the 2nd power is read three to the third power or three squared |
prime factorization | a composite number expressed as a product of prime numbers. |
prime number | a whole number that has exactly two unique factors, 1 and the number itself. |
solution | the value of a variable that makes an equation true. the solution of 12=x+7 is 5 |
solve | to replace a variable with a value that results in a true sentence. |
squared | a number multiplied by itself. |
variable | a symbol, usually a letter, used to represent a number. |
