WGU MATH D125
order of operations - ANSWERS-A set of rules that defines the order in which
mathematical operations should be performed.
odd number - ANSWERS-All integers that are not even; any integers not divisible
by 2.
parentheses - ANSWERS-In mathematics, these are used to separate operations
within an expression and to indicate which operations should be performed first.
They are also used to denote multiplication when a number or variable lies
directly outside them.
number line - ANSWERS-A line in which points are matched to real numbers. The
numbers increase in value as you move to the right.
rational number - ANSWERS-Any number that can be represented as a fraction of
two integers. Equivalently, any number which has a decimal that either
terminates or repeats.
fraction - ANSWERS-This contains two integers, separated by a slash or fraction
bar.
Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic - ANSWERS-every integer greater than 1 is
prime
, or is the product of prime numbers
ex: 2 is prime, 4 is 2x2.
prime factorization - ANSWERS-the determination of the set of prime numbers
which multiply together to give the original integer
whole number - ANSWERS-A number whose value is 0 or greater (negative
numbers are not considered whole numbers) and can be represented without a
fractional or a decimal component.
Integer - ANSWERS-A number (positive, negative, or zero) that can be represented
without a fractional or a decimal component.
square root - ANSWERS-For a given number, this is the number that produces the
given number when multipled by itself.
quotient - ANSWERS-the result of division
Factor - ANSWERS-a number that divides evenly into another number.
positive number - ANSWERS-A number whose value is greater than zero. On the
number line, these oppear to the right of zero.
Division - ANSWERS-splitting into equal parts or groups.
