Distributive Property |
(p.65) For all real numbers a, b, and c: a(b+c)=ab+ac and (b+c)a=ba+bc being an operation (as multiplication in a(b + c) = ab + ac) that produces the same result when operating on the whole mathematical expression as when operating on each part and collecting the results |
|
|
Simplify |
(p.67). Replacing an expression containing variables by an equivalent expression with as few terms as possible. To reduce to simplest form |
|
|
Story Problem |
Word problems, which require you to read a problem and decide which operation to perform in order to get the answer. |
|
|
Additive Inverse |
(p.50) Property of Opposite. A number and its opposite which has a sum of zero. A number that, when added to a, yields zero. a+(-a)=0 and (-a)+a=0 |
|
|
Reciprocal |
(p. 79) Two numbers whose product is 1. Property of Reciprocals: For every nonzero real number 'a', there is a unique real number '1/a' such that. a * 1/a = 1 and 1/a * a = 1 |
|
|
Multiplicative Inverse |
(p. 79) another term for Reciprocal -a and -1/a are reciprocals 1/ab = 1/a * 1/b |
