addition property of equality –
|
the property that explains that you can add the same number to both sides of an equation, and the two sides will remain equal.
|
|
algebraic expression –
|
an expression that contains at least one variable.
|
|
associative property –
|
(ADDITION/MULTIPLICATION) the property that states when adding/multiplying groups of numbers, the grouping of the numbers does not change the value…. order does not matter
|
|
base -
|
when a number is raised to a power, the number that is used as a factor is the base
|
|
coefficient –
|
the number that is multiplied by the variable in an algebraic expression.
|
|
commutative property –
|
(ADDING / MULTIPLICATION) the property that states that changing the order of the numbers does not change the value –
|
|
constant –
|
a value that does not change
|
|
distributive property –
|
the property that states if you multiply a sum by a number, you will get the same result if you multiply each addend by that number and then add the products.
|
|
division property of equality –
|
the property that states that you can divide both sides of an equation by the same nonzero number, and the two sides will remain equal.
|
|
division property of inequality –
|
the property that states that you can divide both sides of an inequality by the same positive number, and the inequality will remain true.
|
|
equation –
|
a mathematical sentence that shows that two expressions are equivalent
|
|
equivalent expression –
|
have the same value for all values of the variables
|
|
exponent -
|
the number that indicates how many times the base is used as a factor.
|
|
factor -
|
a number that is multiplied by another number to get a product
|
|
identity property of addition:–
|
the adding of zero to a number does not change its value.
|
|
identity property of multiplication:–
|
the multiplying a number by one does not change its value.
|
|
inverse property –
|
the property that states the sum of a number and its opposite, or additive inverse, is zero
|
|
like terms –
|
terms with the same variables raised to the same exponents
|
|
multiplication property of equality –
|
the property that states that you can multiply both sides of an equation by the same number, and the two sides will remain equal.
|
|
multiplication property of inequality –
|
the property that states that you can multiply both sides of an inequality by the same positive number, and the inequality will remain true.
|
|
order of operations –
|
a rule for evaluating expressions: P E M/D A/S parentheses, compute powers and roots, then perform all multiplication and division from left to right, and then perform all addition and subtraction from left to right.
|
|
power -
|
a number produced by raising a base to an exponent.
|
|
prime factorization -
|
a number written as the product of its prime factors.
|
|
solution –
|
the value of a variable that makes the equation true
|
|
subtraction property of equality –
|
the property that explains that you can subtract the same number from both sides of an equation, and the two sides will remain the same
|
|
terms –
|
the part of the expression that are separated by + or - signs
|
|
variable –
|
a symbol used to represent a quantity that can change.
