Simplify

Front

To replace an expression with its simplest name or form.

Back

Exponent

Front

A number that shows repeated multiplication.

Back

Base

Front

A number that is multiplied repeatedly.

Back

Equation

Front

A mathematical sentence that uses an equal sign.

Back

Radical

Front

An expression made up of a radical symbol and a radicand.

Back

Whole numbers

Front

The nonnegative integers.

Back

Like terms

Front

Terms with exactly the same variable factors in a variable expression.

Back

Quantity

Front

Anything than can be measured or counted.

Back

Variable

Front

A symbol, usually a letter, that represents one or more numbers.

Back

Constant

Front

A term that has no variable factor.

Back

Opposite

Front

A number that is the same distance from zero on the number line as a given number, but lies in the opposite direction.

Back

Square root

Front

A number of such that a2=b. square root of b is the principle square root. -square root of b is the negative square root.

Back

Real numbers

Front

A number that is either rational or irrational.

Back

Numerical expression

Front

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

Back

Algebraic expression

Front

A mathematical phrase that includes one or more variables.

Back

Radicand

Front

The expression under the radical sign is the radicand.

Back

Equivalent expressions

Front

Algebraic expressions that have the same value for all values of the variable(s).

Back

Irrational number

Front

A number that cannot be written as a ratio of two integers, irrational numbers in decimal form are nonterminating and nonrepeating.

Back

Inequality

Front

A mathematical sentence that compares the values of two expressions using an inequality symbol.

Back

Back

Reciprocal

Front

Given a nonzero rational number a/b, the reciprocal, or multiplicative inverse, is b/a. The product of a nonzero numbers and its reciprocal is 1.

Back

Distributive property

Front

For every real number a, b, and c: a(b + c) = ab + ac (b + c)a = ba + ca a(b - c) = ab - ac (b - c)a = ba - ca

Back

Front

A real number that can be written as a ratio of two integers. Rational numbers in decimal form are terminating or repeating.

Back

Absolute value

Front

The distance that a number is from zero on a number line.

Back

Term

Front

A number, variable, or the product or quotient of a number and one or more variables.

Back
