QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
A number that can be written as a ratio of integers, which means it can
be written as a fraction. ......ANSWER......rational number
The result of multiplying values. ......ANSWER......product
A number whose value is 0 or greater and can be represented without a
fractional or a decimal component. ......ANSWER......whole number
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. ......ANSWER......identity
property
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.
......ANSWER......associative property
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,...
......ANSWER......perfect square
In mathematics: a collection of numbers. ......ANSWER......set
A set of rules that defines the order in which mathematical operations
should be performed ......ANSWER......order of operations
The number you must multiply x by to get 1. For example, 5 and 1/5.
......ANSWER......multiplicative inverse
The positive square root of a number. ......ANSWER......principal square
root
A set of numbers between two specified values.
......ANSWER......interval
A word or symbol (such as + or -) that indicates an operation between
values. ......ANSWER......operators
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. ......ANSWER......commutative
, 3|Page
The symbol which indicates to take the square root of the number that
follows. ......ANSWER......radical sign
Two numbers equidistant from 0 on a number line whose sum is 0. For
example, 3 and -3. ......ANSWER......additive inverse
The greatest number that is both a factor of a and a factor of b.
......ANSWER......greatest common factor (GCF)
A graphical method used to identify the prime factorization of an
integer. ......ANSWER......factor tree
A number, (positive, negative, or zero), that can be represented without
a fractional or a decimal component. ......ANSWER......integer
A collection of numbers whose values are distinct, separate, and
unconnected. ......ANSWER......discrete
Determining the set of prime numbers whose product is the original
integer. ......ANSWER......prime factorization
A collection of numbers whose values are not dividable into distinct
units. ......ANSWER......continuous
