AAbsolute Value

How far the number is from zero

Example:

l4l= 4l-4l=4

BBinomial

Definition- Two terms

Example:(15+16)

CClosure

Definition- There is only one correct

solution

Example:7/1=7

DDescending Order

Definition- the placement in the order of:1.Alphabetize2.Exponents3.Number without a

variable

Example:2a3+3a2+27b+41In descending order

EExponential Notation

Definition- any whole or decimal number

Example:7.5 X 107 = 75,000,000

FFirst and Last

Definition- Factor the first number and the last

number and find the combination that adds or

subtracts to make the middle.

Example:2y2+1y-3

First2X1

Last+3X-1

+3y

-2y

(2y+3)(1y-1)

GExample:24a+36b6(4a+6b)

This is the GCF GCF (Greatest

Common Factor)

Definition- the biggest factor

shared by two or more number in a

term.

HHorizontal Line

Definition-A line that goes from

left to right Example:

IIrrational

Definition- A number that never ends or

has a repeated decimal number

Example: pi

JJustify

Definition- To prove how you

came to the final answer of

an equation Example:+7-10

----------+++++++Answer: -3

KKnown Numbers

Integers that are know, NOT variables

Example:10

NOT An Example:

t

LLike Terms

Similar equations or similar answers

Example:

7+5=5+7

MMonomial

One term

Example:354+646= 1000

N

Natural Numbers

Basic counting without zero

Example:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

OOrigin

The point (0,0) on graphs

Origin

Example

PPolynomial

Definition- one or more terms

Example:2y2 + 25 OR45+75-38+2= 84

QQuadrant

Definition- four different places on a graph that tell whether the point is (+,+),

(-,-), (+,-), (-,+)

Example:

RRational

Definition- can be written as a fraction

Example:

25 25 25 1 5

= =

SSlope

Definition-the slant line on a

graph.

Equation to solve to get slope is;

m= y - yx - x

2

Example:

TTrinomial

Definition- three terms

Example:2y2 -10y+20

UUnknown Numbers

Definition- Term that is NOT similar or doesn’t have the

same outcome and do NOT equal.

Example:

7+5 = 8+6

VVertical Line

Definition- a line that goes up and

down

Example:

WWhole Numbers

Definition- similar as Natural

Numbers, but USE zero

Example:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

XX-Intercept

Definition- figuring of the X part of an ordered that is X

with zero as y (x,0)

Example:(x,0)

YY-Intercept

Definition- figuring of the Y part of an ordered that is zero as X with y (0,y)

Example:(0,y)

ZZero Property of

Multiplication

Definition- any number times zero will always equal zero, no matter

what.

Examples:8*0=030986864*0=0
