Front 12

open sentence

Back 12

In mathematics, an open sentence is described as "open" in the sense that its truth value is meaningless

Front 13

Back 13

a statement that the values of two mathematical expressions are equal

Front 14

additive identity

Back 14

additive identity of a set which is equipped with the operation of addition is an element which, when added to any element x in the set, yields x.

Front 15

additive inverse

Back 15

additive inverse of a number a is the number that, when added to a, yields zero

Front 16

multiplicative identity

Back 16

multiplicative inverse or reciprocal for a number x, denoted by 1/x or x−1, is a number which when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity,

Front 17

multiplicative property of zero

Back 17

multiplication property states that the product of any number and zero is zero. It doesn't matter what the number is, when you multiply it to zero, you get zero as the answer. So: 2 x 0 = 0.

Front 18

multiplicative inverse property

Back 18

multiplicative inverse or reciprocal for a number x, denoted by 1/x or x−1, is a number which when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity,

Front 19

reflexive property

Back 19

eflexive property of equality simply states that a value is equal to itself. Further, this propertystates that for all real numbers, x = x.

Front 20

symmetric property

Back 20

Symmetric Property of Equality. The following property: If if a = b then b = a.

Front 21

transitive property

Back 21

Transitive Property of Equality. The following property: If a = b and b = c, then a = c.

substitution property

Back 22

f you ever plug a value in for a variable into an expression or equation, you're using theSubstitution Property

Front 23

commutative property

Back 23

Commutative property is one of the basic properties of numbers. The word "commute" means "exchange" or "swap over" Commutative property states that numbers can be added or multiplied in any order.

Front 24

associative property

Back 24

associative property states that you can add or multiply regardless of how the numbers are grouped.

Front 25

distributive property

Back 25

distributive property of multiplication which states that the. Definition: The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.

Front 26

continuous graph

Back 26

That graph is a continuous, unbroken line. Therefore we want to say that f(x) is a continuous function

domain

Back 31

The set of values of the independent variable(s) for which a function or relation is defined. Typically, this is the set of x-values that give rise to real y-values

Front 32

relation

Back 32

relation between two sets is a collection of ordered pairs containing one object from each set. If the object x is from the first set and the object y is from the second set, then the objects are said to be related if the ordered pair ( x , y ) is in the relation.
