CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A
⩥product. Answer: The result of multiplying values.
⩥whole number. Answer: A number whose value is 0 or greater and can
be represented without a fractional or a decimal component.
⩥identity property. Answer: The property that 0 can be added to any
number without changing the value of the number. Likewise, 1 can be
multiplied by any number without changing the value of that number.
⩥associative property. Answer: The property that under certain
operations in a multi-step expression, the computations may be done in
any order. Commonly represented as (a + b) + c = a + (b + c). Addition
and multiplication both have this property, but subtraction and division
do not.
⩥perfect square. Answer: The product of any integer with itself yields
this. So, a number is this if it can be written as the square of an integer.
For example, 9 is this because 3 * 3 = 9. Other examples are 16, 25, 36,
49,...
,⩥set. Answer: In mathematics: a collection of numbers.
⩥order of operations. Answer: A set of rules that defines the order in
which mathematical operations should be performed
⩥multiplicative inverse. Answer: The number you must multiply x by to
get 1. For example, 5 and 1/5.
⩥principal square root. Answer: The positive square root of a number.
⩥interval. Answer: A set of numbers between two specified values.
⩥operators. Answer: A word or symbol (such as + or -) that indicates an
operation between values.
⩥commutative. Answer: The property that the order of the numbers
under the operation does not change the result. Addition and
multiplication have this property: a + b = b + a and ab = ba.
⩥radical sign. Answer: The symbol which indicates to take the square
root of the number that follows.
, ⩥additive inverse. Answer: Two numbers equidistant from 0 on a
number line whose sum is 0. For example, 3 and -3.
⩥greatest common factor (GCF). Answer: The greatest number that is
both a factor of a and a factor of b.
⩥factor tree. Answer: A graphical method used to identify the prime
factorization of an integer.
⩥integer. Answer: A number, (positive, negative, or zero), that can be
represented without a fractional or a decimal component.
⩥discrete. Answer: A collection of numbers whose values are distinct,
separate, and unconnected.
⩥prime factorization. Answer: Determining the set of prime numbers
whose product is the original integer.
⩥continuous. Answer: A collection of numbers whose values are not
dividable into distinct units.
⩥expressions. Answer: A string of terms that are connected by division,
addition, and subtraction operations.
