rational number correct answers A number that can be written as a ratio of integers, which means
it can be written as a fraction.
product correct answers The result of multiplying values.
whole number correct answers A number whose value is 0 or greater and can be represented
without a fractional or a decimal component.
identity property correct answers 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 correct answers 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 correct answers 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 correct answers In mathematics: a collection of numbers.
order of operations correct answers A set of rules that defines the order in which mathematical
operations should be performed
multiplicative inverse correct answers The number you must multiply x by to get 1. For example,
5 and 1/5.
,principal square root correct answers The positive square root of a number.
interval correct answers A set of numbers between two specified values.
operators correct answers A word or symbol (such as + or -) that indicates an operation between
values.
commutative correct answers 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 correct answers The symbol which indicates to take the square root of the number
that follows.
additive inverse correct answers Two numbers equidistant from 0 on a number line whose sum is
0. For example, 3 and -3.
greatest common factor (GCF) correct answers The greatest number that is both a factor of a and
a factor of b.
factor tree correct answers A graphical method used to identify the prime factorization of an
integer.
integer correct answers A number, (positive, negative, or zero), that can be represented without a
fractional or a decimal component.
discrete correct answers A collection of numbers whose values are distinct, separate, and
unconnected.
, prime factorization correct answers Determining the set of prime numbers whose product is the
original integer.
continuous correct answers A collection of numbers whose values are not dividable into distinct
units.
expressions correct answers A string of terms that are connected by division, addition, and
subtraction operations.
quotient correct answers The result of a division expression.
exponents correct answers Sometimes called a power, it is a quantity that represents repeated
multiplication.
factor correct answers An integer that divides another integer. We say an integer, x, is a factor of
another integer, y, if the quotient y/x is also equal to an integer.
composite number correct answers A number with more factors than just one and itself. Not a
prime number.
Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic correct answers A concept which states that any integer
greater than 1 is either prime or is the product of a unique set of prime numbers.
prime number correct answers A number with only two factors: one and itself.
percent proportion correct answers Proportion that is equivalent to the given ratio but has a
denominator of 100.
denominator correct answers The number written after the slash, or below the fraction bar, in a
fraction.
