a number that when multiplied by itself equals a given number
Back
compund inequalities
Front
A compound inequality is an equation with two or more inequalities joined together with either "and" or "or".
set-builder notation is a mathematical notation for describing a set by enumerating its elements or stating the properties that its members must satisfy.

Back
Polynomial
Front
a mathematical expression that is the sum of a number of terms
Back
multiplicative property of equality
Front
If a = b, then ac = bc

Identity Property
Front
the sum of any number and 0 is that number the product of 1 and any number is that number
Back
simplify
Front
To write a fraction or expression in simplest form
Back
Solution
Front
A solution is an assignment of expressions to the unknown variables that makes the equality in the equation true.
Back
Coordinate plane/ cartesian plane
Front
A Cartesian coordinate system is a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a set of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distances to the point from two fixed perpendicular oriented lines, measured in the same unit of length.
Back
inverse operations
Front
operations that undo each other
Back
combining like terms
Front
Combining two or more like terms simplifies an expression by summing constants and summing those variable terms in which the same variables are raised to the same power.
Back
Power
Front
The power of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication.
Back
Function and function notation
Front
Function notation is the way a function is written. It is meant to be a precise way of giving information about the function without a rather lengthy written explanation.
Back
intersection (and)
Front
An intersection is a single point where two lines meet or cross each other.
Back
order of operations
Front
PEMDAS
Back
exponent
Front
A mathematical notation indicating the number of times a quantity is multiplied by itself.
Back
area
Front
The number of square units required to cover a surface.
Back
Associative Property
Front
The way in which numbers are grouped does not change their sum or product
Back
Zero Property of Multiplication
Front
the product of any number and 0 is 0

Section 2
(8 cards)
Constant (0 avg. rate) part of function
Front
A zero rate of change is achieved when f (b) = f (a) giving a numerator of zero.
Back
decreasing/ negative part of function
Front
A function decreases on an interval if for all , where. If for all , the function is said to be strictly increasing. If the derivative of a continuous function satisfies on an open interval , then is decreasing on .

An arrangement of data made up of horizontal rows and vertical columns.
Back
Increasing / positive part of function
Front
Increasing and Decreasing Functions. Definition of Increasing and Decreasing. We all know that if something is increasing then it is going up and if it is decreasing it is going down.
Back
Average rate of change/ slope
Front
When you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. f(x) = x2 and f(x + h) = (x + h)2 Therefore, the slope of the secant line between any two points on this function is 2x + h.
Back
Y intercept (HOY)
Front
In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as "y = mx + b"), the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and "b" is the y-intercept (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis).
