HSPT Math Review Questions and Answers|
Latest Update
Markup The amount by which a price is increased
Ex. If the jacket was purchased at $25 from the manufacturer, and a $50 markup is applied, the
new price is $75.
DIAMETER A chord that passes through the center of the circle R
Ex. RS is a diameter
CHORD A line segment that runs from somewhere on the circle to another place on the
circle
OA
Ex. AB is a chord
Central Tendency - An attempt to find the "average" or "central value" of a given set of
data.
Ex. In statistics, there are three main measures of central tendency: MEAN, MEDIAN, MODE
RADIUS A line segment that runs from the center of the circle to somewhere on the circle
Ex. OA is a radius
DIFFERENCE The result of subtraction.
Expanded Notation Pointing out the place value of a digit by writing a number as the digit
× its place value. For example, 342 = (3 × 102 ) + (4 × 101) + (2 × 10).
, Factor (noun) A number or symbol that divides evenly into a larger number. For example,
6 is a factor of 24.
Greatest Common Factor (GCF) The largest factor common to two or more numbers.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) The smallest multiple that is common to two or more
numbers.
Lowest Common Denominator (LCD) The smallest number that can be divided evenly by
all denominators in the problem.
Multiplicative Inverse The reciprocal of a number. Any number multiplied by its
multiplicative inverse equals 1.
POWER A product of equal factors. 4 × 4 × 4 = 43, reads "four to the third power" or "the
third power of four." Power and exponent are some× used interchangeably.
Prime Number A number that can be divided by only itself and one.
Quotient The result of division.
Coefficient A number that multiples a variable
Deductive Reasoning Reasoning logically from given facts to a conclusion
Commutative Property States that two or more numbers can be added or multiplied in
any order and still arrive at the same sum or product. i.e. 8 + 20 = 20 + 8 7 • 12 = 12 • 7
