🗑
|
||||
| algebraic expression | An expression that contains at least one variable.

||||
| quadrant | One of the four regions into which the x- and the y- axes divide the coordinate plane.
🗑
|
||||
| rational numbers | A number that can be written in the form a/b, where a and b are integers and b is not equal to zero.
🗑
|
||||
| real numbers | A rational or irrational number. Every point on the number line represents a real number.
🗑
|
||||
| reciprocal | For a real number a is not equal to zero. The reciprocal of a and 1/a. The product of reciprocals is one.

🗑
|
||||
| variable | A symbol used to represent a quantity that can change.
🗑
|
||||
| whole numbers | The set of natural numbers and zero.
🗑
|
||||
| x-axis | The horizontal axis in a coordinate plane.
🗑
|
||||
| x-coordinate | The first number in an ordered pair, which indicates the horizontal distance of a point from the origin on the coordinate plane.
🗑
|
||||
| y-axis | The vertical axis in a coordinate plane.
