Distributive Property

Front

a property indicating a special way in which multiplication is applied to addition of two or more numbers in which each term inside a set of parentheses can be multiplied by a factor outside the parentheses, such as a(b + c) = ab + ac

Back

Zero divided by a number

Front

When zero is divided by a number the answer is zero. 0/a = 0 "a" does not equal 0

Back

Integer Rule for Subtracting Real Numbers

Front

subtract a number, add its opposite - then follow the rules for adding signed numbers

Back

base

Front

is the number that is used as a factor

Back

evaluate

Front

To find the value of a numerical or algebraic expression

Back

Opposites

Front

two numbers that have the same absolute value but have different signs

Back

algebraic expression

Front

A mathematical phrase involving at least one variable and sometimes numbers and operation symbols.

Back

reciprocal

Front

Two numbers that have a product of 1. (flip the fraction)

Back

Inverse Property of Addition

Front

the sum of a number and its opposite is 0

Back

absolute value

Front

The distance a number is from zero on a number line (IT IS ALWAYS POSITIVE)

Back

Integer Rule for multiplying and dividing numbers with same sign

Front

their product or quotient is positive

Back

Integer Rule for multiplying and dividing numbers with different signs

Front

their product or quotient is negative

Back

Identity Property of Multiplication

Front

If you MULTIPLY A NUMBER BY ONE, the product is the SAME AS THAT NUMBER.

Back

Inverse Property of Multiplication

Front

if you multiply a number by its reciprocal, the product is 1.

Back

exponent

Front

A mathematical notation indicating the number of times a quantity is multiplied by itself.

Back

whole numbers

Front

Natural numbers ( counting numbers) and zero; 0, 1, 2, 3...

Back

Matrices

Front

a rectangular array of data (arrangement of numbers) in rows and columns

Back

Transitive Property

Front

If a=b and b=c, then a=c

Back

Commutative Property of Addition

Front

Changing the order of the addends does not change the sum. a+b=b+a

Back

perfect square

Front

A square of a whole number Examples: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169, 196, 225

Back

irrational numbers

Front

Numbers that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers. Their decimal expansions are nonending and nonrepeating.

Back

Reflexive Property

Front

A quantity is congruent (equal) to itself. a = a

Back

Integer rule for Adding Real Numbers with Different Signs

Front

find the difference of their absolute values and use the sign of the number with the greater absolute value

Back

square root

Front

one of two equal factors of a number

Back

Integers

Front

whole numbers and their opposites (positive and negative) Includes 0.

Back

Division by zero

Front

is undefined

Back

Power

Front

is an expression written with an exponent and a base

Back

closed set

Front

A way to describe a set of numbers if applying an operation to any two numbers in the set produces a number in the set

Back

constant

Front

A term without a variable

Back

numerical expression

Front

A mathematical phrase involving numbers and operation symbols, but no variables.

Back

multiplication by zero

Front

the product of any number and 0 is 0 a*0 = 0

Back

Coefficient

Front

A number multiplied by a variable in an algebraic expression.

Back

like terms

Front

terms with exactly the same variable factors in a variable expression

Back

rational numbers

Front

Any number that can be expressed as a fraction (terminating or repeating decimal)

Back

Natural Numbers

Front

The set of numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, ... Also called counting numbers.

Back

terminating decimal

Front

A decimal number that ends or terminates

Back

Symmetric Property

Front

If a = b, then b = a

Back

repeating decimal

Front

A decimal that repeats a digit or group of digits forever.

Back

Multiplicative Inverse

Front

A number times its multiplicative inverse is equal to 1; also called reciprocal

Back

Associative Property of Multiplication

Front

Changing the grouping of three or more factors does not change the product. (ab)c=a(bc)

Back

Additive Inverse

Front

a number and its opposite

Back

Variable

Front

a letter or symbol used to represent a value that can change

Back

real numbers

Front

all numbers that can be represented on the number line

Back

Associative Property of Addition

Front

Changing the grouping of three or more addends does not change the sum. (a+b)=c=a+(b+c)

Back

Identity Property of Addition

Front

If you ADD ZERO TO A NUMBER, the sum is the SAME AS THAT NUMBER.
