Kyle’s ABC Book – Ms. Burton Block A – Day One

A – Algebra

An equation says that two things are equal. It will have an equals sign "=" like this: x+2=6

B-Binomial

A polynomial with two terms which are not like terms. The following are all binomials: 2x – 3, 3x5 +8x4, and 2ab – 6a2b5.

C- Constant

In Algebra, a constant is a number on its own, or sometimes a letter such as a, b or c to stand for a fixed number.

D- Dependent Variable

The "output" value of a function:In y = x2

x is an Independent Variabley is the Dependent Variable

E- Extrapolate

 Mathematics To estimate (a value of a variable outside a known range) from values within a known range by assuming that the estimated value follows logically from the known values.

F- Factor

Factors are numbers you can multiply together to get another number

G-Graph

When I mean graph I mean linear relations. We use the graph when we use X and Y. We also use the graph when we were plotting our points from ABC, to DEF.

H- Horizontal

When I am talking about horizontal things, we add that to Linear Relations. When we do Linear Relations we need to know where to plot the point on the horizontal line or on the vertical line.

I- Improper Fractions

We use Improper Fractions when we solve a Fractional equation. An improper fraction is a fraction when the numerator is larger than the denominator

K- KM/H

When we were doing Scale and similarity we had some questions on the tests and on the homework that had KM/H. An abbreviation of kilometers per hour. A metric measure of speed.

L- Line Segment

A Line segment is the points that are at the end of each line. It’s called segment because usually the line is never ending, but the lines stop.

M-Minus

When I say minus I mean when we used minus when we did number lines and rational number. We also used it when we were doing the unit on exponent laws.

N- Negative

When we did the unit on Equations and Inequalities we learned how to do equations that had negative components in them.

O- Order of Operations

Order of Operations is one of the most important things we had to learn. It is important to learn because in almost all our units we needed to put it in our work.

P: Pythagorean Theorem

In a right angled triangle the square of the long side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Q-Quadrant (Circle)

A quarter of a circle (made by two radiuses at right angles and the connecting arc)

R- Radius

The distance from the center to the edge of a circle

S- Surface Area

The total area of the surface of a three-dimensional object

T- Tangent

The length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side.

U- Unequal

When the numbers in any situation are not equal.

V- Variable

A symbol for a number we don't know yet. It is usually a letter like x or y.

W- Whole Number

The numbers {0, 1, 2, 3, ...} etc. There is no fractional or decimal part. And no negatives

X- X-Axis

The line on a graph that runs horizontally (left-right) through zero.

Y- Y-Axis

The line on a graph that runs vertically (up-down) through zero.

Z- Zero

The whole number between -1 and 1, with the symbol 0. It Shows that there is no amount.
